To make up for all that missed time in the classroom over spring break, the Ohio State basketball team put on a clinic last night in St. John Arena, beating Cal 73-56.
The old field house was shaking on full tilt during the first half when Jamar Butler (right, v. UNC Ash.) hit 3 treys and [...]
Bucks set date with Flyers
Basketball 2007-08: Chernobyl or Mere Three Mile Island?
THE VIEW FROM THE HEDGES
(NEW FEATURE)Res ThaSequel is a new contributor to the Old Columbus Town. He is the author of The Dimitrious Stanley Story and still wears his 1999 Final Four gear without irony or fear of reprisals. You hear me, NCAA?
There is a simple answer to the question of if this year’s installment [...]
Bucks grab that elusive No. 1 seed after all
Only this year it’s in the N.I.T., which, evidently, is not as “prestigious” as the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio St. will face that venerable, history-rich program from North Carolina, UNC-Asheville, which, evidently, exists. (Tuesday, 7PM, ESPN2)
The big story thats making everyone in Bristol, CT giggle is the possibility that OSU and Florida will meet again in a [...]
Did Gumbel almost say Ohio St.?
Absolutely. Someone get the selection show on YouTube, post-haste.
For anyone who missed the show or gave up after the first two regions were named, CBS’s Greg Gumbel reeeeeallly sounded like he was about to read Ohio State in place of Georgia for the 14th seed in the West.
Alas, Georgia certainly deserves to be there after [...]
Who’s in, who’s out?: Pryor & the basketball Bucks
Per Scout.com and the punctual reporting over at Our Honor Defend & Eleven Warriors, Terrelle Pryor is taking the plunge and announcing his decision “sometime” next week.
And with days to spare until the April 1 deadline!
Check out OHD/ 11W for the particulars of this breaking news (yes, there is mention of “the list.”) The long [...]
Illinios in position to screw us again
Foiled again?
Top seeded Wisconsin will face the 10th seeded Fighting Illini tomorrow in the Big Ten conference championship. Illinois, smokin’ hot off a win over Minnesota, is just a win away from earning an automatic invite to the big dance and slamming the door in OSU’s face. While you optimist-types out there aren’t ready to [...]
Pret-ty neat there, Gophers
This video would normally be ‘Duly Noted’ material but, in the interest of giving it as much exposure as possible, I’ll post ‘er here.
As we all know (What?, You stopped caring about basketball after the Bucks lost? Terrorist!) Indiana lost to the Minnesota in the Big 10 tourney today. I almost called the Gophers [...]
Yes, there is a blog here
Drewbie Neitzel: Very diesel
And we’re back.
As any LOST viewer knows, asking too many questions about sudden absences and inexplicable reappearances is a complete waste of time. So, instead of going into great depth about how a phone call from traveling reporter Paul Germain this afternoon sparked an Ali-like return to the ring (OK, more [...]
Pryor back in the 614
UPDATE: Elvis has entered the building. According to Paul, Pryor made a brief, if not premature, entrance as the Buckeyes headed to the locker room for half-time. He exchanged greetings with the Brew Crew before ducking out of view with Tressel.
Doug Lesmerises of the Plain Dealer reports that Terrelle Pryor is in fact in [...]
Schott off the mark again
In an interview with The Dispatch, Bill Jones of the OSU Athletic Dept. says he will be considering a change of policy for seating/tickets for men’s basketball games.According to Jones, 4,000 student tickets–of about 19,000 total–were alloted this season. Half in the, ahem, “Nut House” behind each basket and half in the upper bowl. The [...]
