(Some of the many forms of the evil one)  He goes by many names: Mr. Scratch, Mr. Nick, Iblis, the  Shaytan, Abbaddo, Marduk, Bile, Lucifer, Satan, and most horribly – M*ch*gan(I do not spell out the name so that I do not add to its power). Perhaps the greatest trick the Devil...

As a member of the Ohio State marching band, I was given the opportunity to get to meet the team and march them through Script Ohio at the WHAC indoor field in what has been an established tradition for beat _*ch*g@n week for a very long time, and this account is going to echo much of what Ramzy sai...

I still believe the BCS picture is about to get even crazier.  Now Auburn is creeping their way into the 5 spot, and Missouri is at 6.  Clemson is still hanging around and now the Winston controversy is continuing to swirl, the top of the BCS will get crazier with rivalry week and conferen...

A M@chigan friends post recentlly: This is the WORST display of UM football I have ever seen. sadly, OSU got the great coaching, we DID NOT! What the heck is this "execute" word he throws around after getting killed two weeks in a row. Hoke is a joke. PUT A HEADSET ON. TALK TO YOUR TEAM....

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of 100 battles.” – The Art of War- Sun Tzu Rage Against The Machine had a similar sentiment (not exactly, but I grew up in the 90’s and remain a strong supporter of RATM) on their song “Know Yo...

The meltdown for That Team's fans continues again this week. I have posted some of the gems from MGoBlog.com so you don't have to read all 259 posts. The spelling and words are theirs, I will not correct them. Man, is it good to be a Buckeye. Michigan football in toy trains.... ...

If FSU or/and Alabama lose next week or in Conf. Championship, and OSU wins out who do we play for NCG? If its Mizzou that beats Alabama (crazier things have happened) after taking out Texas A&M do they have a shot because we all know how everyone is riding the almighty SEC train? Now you got OK...

Tonight i was having some drinks with friends and we got into a discussion about football, my friends know how much I love The Ohio State Buckeyes. As drinks poured and passion became topic of the discussion I was called out by a girlfriend of one of my friends. She said "you didn't go to O...

For years the BCS has been maligned, skewered, and lampooned. This year with 4 impressive teams undefeated, the BCS is receiving more criticism than ever. Nowhere is that more true than in the offices, speak easies, and cat houses of ol’ Columbus town where anti-BCS talk has hit a fever pitch....

A few days ago, user Alex Pavlick wrote an entry in the forums about OSU's current win streak and the probability of it occurring.  He used Vegas odds to determine the likelihood of individual wins and used that to calculate the probability of winning them all.  It is an...

 Saturday, Ohio State plays Indiana for the 87th time. Ohio State leads the series 69-12-5* and is 67-12-4 against unranked Indiana teams. The Buckeyes last lost to Indiana in 1988 and have won 18 straight against the Hoosiers. Ohio State should not have any difficulty getting up for a histor...

So I'm going to do things a little differently this week.  People have been wanting me to include Baylor in my calculations, but to be frank, I don't know what numbers to assign to whether or not humans will decide if an undefeated Baylor should pass an undefeated Ohio State.  Rath...

THE RUNNING START TV: Saturday, 3:30 ABC Ohio State leads the series 69-12-5* and is 44-10-4 against Indiana in Columbus.       *I include the vacated 2010 victory at home, NCAA be damned. Since 1991 Ohio State has won 18* straight games against Indiana. The Bu...

I admit it, although Kyle comes through with solid summaries of the Coach's Monday press interviews, I still like to watch them (see: unapologetic Ohio State Football junkie).  One thing that strikes me is the statement of which players grade out as Champions.  I'm sure it's a ...

    Why such disrespect to our Buckeyes? That's what everyone wants to know, myself included. I have the day off tomorrow and figured I'd pour myself up a drink, do some research and put together my first blog post on 11W.        Everyone knows the nati...

Acclimatized. If you were to be taken by plane from sea level up to the summit of Mt. Everest and dropped off in your favorite fur laden survival suit... You would double over in pain, be unconscious in moments, and dead soon after.  However, if you were to hike up from a base camp, and t...

Like some of you, I had two TV's going yesterday as Ohio State vs. Marquette overlapped with Ohio State vs. Illinois yesterday and since most of my focus was on the football game, I gave the hoops game a re-watch today after cranking out the Illinois version of Five Things.  I was most int...

Another week and another Buckeye stat bump. It's interesting to see how Ohio State's stats change after playing an opponent. As requested by BuckeyeMike74, below you will be able to compare Ohio State's stats before playing, and after playing, Illinois. This week was not the most im...

Another week and another opponent's stats get flipped upside down. It's always interesting to see how a team's stats change after playing Ohio State. Below you will be able to compare Illinois' stats before playing, and after playing, Ohio State. When facing a team like Illinois...

Media bias against Ohio State is at its peak. The recently released AP rank in which Baylor jumped OSU is another example. I am tired of hearing rants from Buckeye fans about how the media is unfair and all other fans/media are crazy. As as Blog owner myself, I understand and agree that its all abou...
