Ohio State blows out Indiana, 38-15. Now, it's time to do the same to That Team Up North.
Well, folks, we did it. We weathered the desert that was the aftermath of the 2016 Fiesta Fiasco and now stand on the precipice of Buckeye football returning to our lives. Surviving four and a half months is no easy task in our cold world. It calls for the most vintage FourLoko.
Today we get our first public peek at the 2017 local team. Y'all know I'm rocking with the Gray squad because [~*~STARCAT~*~ EDIT: D.J., our sweet, soft-skulled manbaby, tried to recycle a joke he used last year that did not amuse some of his paymasters. I'm not going back to eating rotting bar food out of Marion dumpsters because of this buffoon's antics. We now return to your normally-scheduled and barely-literate ramblings.]
I can't wait to overreact to every little thing. After J.T. Barrett's first incompletion against Indiana, I may call for Kevin Wilson to "see what he has" in Dwyane Haskins, who, after all, showcased a paranormal connection with Ben Victor in the spring game.
Here's everything you need to get your mind right for the annual scrimmage we all love to know:
- Preview
- Five things to watch.
- Tickets are sold out. Those without are in the hands of scalpers now.
- Rosters, which are basically first team offense (Gray) vs. first team defense (Scarlet).
- Spring Game MVPs: A tradition unlike any other.
- Visitors list
- Visitors on commitment watch.
- 11W's spring practice coverage hub.
- NCAA approves recruiting reforms.
Be sure to follow @11W, @EricSeger33, @TimShoemaker, and @AndrewMLind on Twitter for up-to-the-minute analysis from the Shoe.
Word of the Day: Invidious.
THE AFTERPARTY. Perhaps after day drinking and watching the local team, you'd like to stand around in an overcrowded downtown bar, overpay for drinks, and gawk at future NFL draft picks from the wrong side of hench security guards and a velvet rope.
Well, here's your oasis:

Apologies to everyone. I'm listed as "doubtful" for this banger. I'm sure they're crestfallen the spindly blogger with a bad hairline won't be standing in the corner drinking through a straw while making bad Tweets with his alien fingers.
