A What-If Scenario

Hello 11W friends! I graduated as a Dayton Flyer, so I am not in any position to even suggest that the athletic director at another school (even if I'm an obsessed fan of that school's football and basketball team) should be called out, fired, or anything like that. That being said, I was r...

A Matter of Toughness

Like many of you taking in the U of M/MSU game yesterday, I was not surprised to see that the Wolverines looked hapless.  The Michigan offense was manhandled by the Spartan defense.  There's an interesting discussion going on over at MGOBLOG (where it seems I am relegated to tro...

The Series History: Ohio State/Purdue

Saturday the Buckeyes travel to the Bermuda Triangle of the B1G Ten. For whatever mystic, seismic, bullshit reason Ohio State has lost three of the last four games (two straight) in West Lafayette. The Buckeyes have been outscored 81-83 losing by an average score of 20-21. Hopefully Urban Meyer is ...

What to Root For: Week 10

Last week's list here. Well, I was astonishingly close on some games, and WAY off on a few in terms of the score.  I did a surprisingly impressive 7-1 in terms of result.  Last week's predictions and results (with scores as away-home): Wake Forest at #7 Miami (FL): Predict...

Weekly Probabilities 10/28

Here they are!  Again, although the process is objective, I acknowledge my probabilities of individual games are subjective, though I think this gives us a pretty good picture of where we are at.  *I tried to find the vegas or massey odds people talked about last week, but after a short se...

Targeting

I honestly can't really see much of a difference between these two hits.  Obviously both players led with their upperbody/shoulder and there was some incidental helmet contact on each hit...Roby was ejected for "targeting" but this player for UCLA wasn't.  Can they even e...

Big Ten Championship Game

As the weeks go by and the victories pile up, it saddens me to think that another season of Buckeye football will eventually come to an end. However, there is a sense of joy, a sense of happiness in me which comes from the fact that this season will not end on the 30th of November. Additional opport...

The Series History: Ohio State/Penn State

When looking at the overall series 15-13 (without vacated wins) you would believe Ohio State and Penn State are evenly matched rivals. However, the 15-13 (.536) series mark is misleading. Penn State amassed the majority of its wins against Ohio State before joining the Big Ten in 1993. Before ...
