1. Alabama defeats Clemson by two or more touchdowns I went with the underdogs in round one of the playoffs, but I think the favored Crimson Tide come away with the title by a comfortable margin.  It should be a bit more competitive than both the semifinal games, with the contest staying clo...

I’m gonna be honest.  I miss my old football blogs.   I miss writing something about my football experience and having people who enjoyed my writing.  I miss sharing my passions with people who have similar interests.  I miss that spine tingling, heart pulsating feeling I ge...

With Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan and Penn State in the Big Ten East the assumption is that the East is better than the Big Ten West. I agree with that assumption. However, is it true? During the 2015 season 14 games were played between teams of both divisions. How did ...

The title game approaches, but first let's see how I did with my predictions for the semifinal round: 1. Clemson knocks off Oklahoma to stay undefeated It was close at halftime, as the Sooners went to the locker room with a 1-point lead.  But the Tigers came out strong in th...

On Sunday, the Buckeyes narrowly defeated Illinois in a game that ended much closer than it should have been due to some clutch 3-pointers by the Illini when the game seemed out of reach. It was a big win that propelled the Buckeyes to 2-0 in conference play as they head to Northwestern (13-2) on We...

Moving to forum I appreciate deeply the dedication to Ohio State of these early entries. While I hate to say goodbye prematurely to these young men (I am a fan after all)... if I were in their shoes, with a Round 1 - 3 grade, I wouldn't hesitate to go to the NFL. They've accomplished th...

This is not a consolation prize. This isn't where we wanted to end up, but that doesn't matter now.  If we think we can just show up and win this game, we will be greatly disappointed.  Notre Dame wants this.  Badly.  The last time the Fighting Irish beat the Buckeyes FDR ...

Ten years ago Ohio State battled Notre Dame in the desert. This is a quick look back at the game played a decade ago.   No. 6 Notre Dame vs. No. 4 Ohio State January 1, 2006   1st 2nd 3rd 4th ...

1. Clemson knocks off Oklahoma to stay undefeated The Tigers are ranked #1 and hold the only perfect record in college football, but Vegas has the Sooners as 3.5-point favorites in the Orange Bowl.  News also broke yesterday that Clemson sent home 3 players for breaking team rules, including...

The Ohio State men’s basketball team has now ripped off 4 straight wins including a big neutral court victory over #10 Kentucky and solid W’s against Mercer (9-3) and Northern Illinois (9-2). During this run, their average margin of victory is a very comfortable 14 points and they’ve looked li...

Now we know what a detriment Grandstaff was to the program. Him transferring was the best thing that could have happened for the Buckeyes. Just kidding. But the Buckeyes are now undefeated this season with all their wins coming against top 5 opponents with Grandstaff away from the program. And with ...

Mods, everyone: I'm mostly organizing this as a single resource for the military history posts on 11W.  There's been a request for this stuff, so I figure it's good to organize it.  Also, people who write military history posts can link back to this one and include the archive.  Hopef...

It should be a great game tonight in Salem Va. with some of the best small school athletes that pay to play. Mount has produced some very good NFL players in the past and many small schools in their respective divisions produce some good players in the pros. Here are two that you might recognize tha...

I think if the NFL would place size restrictions on every position it would greatly reduce their health concerns and help curb HGH abuse. If they were to pass a rule restricting sizes of players in say 20 years, it would give professional and college teams plenty of time to adjust their conditioning...

1. Hark! The Houston Cougars win Both Houston and Florida State have momentum heading into their showdown in the Peach Bowl.  But the little guy has shown he has what it takes to slay the giant in previous New Year's Six and BCS bowls and this year figures to be no different.  The Couga...

The Buckeyes couldn’t build on the blowout victory over Air Force and suffered their biggest defeat this year to the Huskies on Saturday. Here are some notes on both games. UConn Game Notes UConn is a much better team than us and played like it. For the first time this year, it felt like ...
