They've waited 16 years, 16 long, painful years, but Missouri finally has earned some redemption for one of my favorite childhood memories. Though the Missouri wrestling victory over the Buckeyes likely didn't put an end to the night terrors of the #45 for Corby Jones, it may have helpe...

Preview by Curt Heinrichs As predicted in my last blog entry, the #5 ranked Buckeye Wrestling team drew the #6 Missouri Tigers in the quarterfinals of the 2nd annual NWCA National Duals. The Buckeyes were granted an automatic bid in the quarterfinals, while the Tigers bumped off a pair of Big Ten t...

In a shocking stunner of a development, B1G President Jim Delaney announced today that the entire National Hockey League has accepted a membership offer extended by the B1G. All thirty NHL teams will begin B1G conference play in all sports beginning with the 2014 season. “We’re excited,...

I was able to speak to Dylan Thompson after he performed amongst all the lineman in the Core 6 Athletes Showcase at the Rivers Edge Sports Center in Cincinnati. Thompson had just recently received an Ohio State offer about a week prior to the event, and the Buckeyes have made quite the impression on...

None. The high Towers decline before this woe, The great river does not flow ahead, But they’re strong – the locks of a dorm, stone, And behind them – the quads, dark and low, And the deadly Buckeye nuts are spread. For some one, somewhere, a fresh wind blows, For som...

We caught up to several prospects at the Best of the Midwest Combine in Indianapolis to discuss the event, Ohio State and recruiting in general. Featured are videos of Ohio State commit Marcelys Jones, a guard from Cleveland Glenville, safety Erick Smith, also from Glenville, Gary (IN) West Side Hig...

The 2012-2013 Buckeye Wrestling team has already improved on their 2012 performance in qualifying for the quarterfinals. In the inaugural 2012 tournament, the Buckeyes finished 2nd in the Stillwater, Oklahoma region to the eventual tournament runner-up Oklahoma State. In the 2nd tournament, the Buck...

Core 6 Athletes brought a ton of talent to Cincinnati today to perform and compete against one another in the group's first event outside of Chicagoland. The fantastic event elicited attention from multiple media outlets and could eventually serve as a catalyst for some of the prospects in their...

Recap by Curt Heinrichs As Head Coach Tom Ryan told me in an interview previewing the dual, Ohio State’ s match with Penn State last Sunday did indeed come down to bonus points. The young wrestling Buckeyes were able to keep the defending NCAA champion Nittany Lions within striking distance t...

Sunday Ohio State basketball lost to a team who can’t explain their mascot. Following their impressive basketball victory, Indiana’s athletic department announced its plans to create a football team by 2016. Students who attended both the BuckeyeThon charity dance marathon...

Many moons ago, I feel like I botched the chance of a lifetime and ever since then I have this strange lingering feeling of regret that I just can't shake.  I don't dwell on it too often, but once in a while I reflect and wish I could go back in time and kick myself.   A brief his...

None. Thank god. I don’t know about you guys, but I could use a break. I smoke cigarettes. I know, right? I will keep it up. Sure, I can’t climb stairs, maintain an erection after four beers, or look in the mirror while swallowing, but I get to throw my butts everywhere and it doesn&rsqu...

I'm no expert on the subject, but architecture & stadium capacity & all those things that others may find boring are some of my interests. Based on Zach Smith's tweet about the HorseShoe changing forever & the specific use of the words "Numero Uno", I do believe that Oh...

Hey guys I was wondering which current or recently retired buckeye will make the nfl hall of fame. It only took what seems like forever for chris "all he does is catch touchdowns" Carter to finally get it. Here is the list of current Bucks who are in the NFL. I personally feel that Hawk, L...

1. Carlos Hyde, Senior. 6’0”, 235 lbs. Our best running back since Clarett? Hyde hits the hole hard and wiggles in it. He puts tacklers on their backs, doesn't fumble, and he's durable. When he was complaining about playing time, I thought that was crap. BUCK UP BUDDY, WAIT YOUR ...

1. Braxton Miller, Junior. 6’2”, 220 lbs. Miller came a long way with his passing last year. He was still a little below average, but as a freshman he was uncorking bombs like Raul Ibanez. If he stays healthy, I think our worst-case scenario is going 13–0 and then watching in horro...

The Paterno Report - a response to the Freeh Report on Penn State's role in the Jerry Sandusky tragedy - was released this morning. It was no surprise; the Paternos made it known that they had commissioned a response to what former FBI director Louis Freeh compiled last year. It's importa...

*EDITED* I removed the list of potential transfers and just listed positions where we may see transfers. Hope that clears up the controversy. A couple of days ago I posted a comparision of the last two recruiting classes for Ohio State and Michigan using the 24/7 Composite Ratings as the sole metri...

The title is "Vonn Bell listens to parents and picks Ohio State."  Oh, here's the link: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/feb/07/vonn-bell-listens-to-parents-and-picks-ohio/ The author makes it seem as if Bell's parents forced him to go to OSU.  Examples: -The tit...

Interview by Curt Heinrichs Curt Heinrichs: Thanks again for taking some time to speak with me. This past weekend, you had what’s become a tradition for the wrestling Buckeyes, and had a home match on the road, so to speak. How did that tradition come about? Tom Ryan: We just felt that in t...
