Pre-conference ramble
I'm doubtful that anyone is looking forward to the conference season in college basketball more than I. I keep seeing things that confuse me. (I know, I know, easily confused, so what?) But the music from that Corona Light commercial that keeps running on the games I watch is now running through my...
Let There Be Rock -- Here's to the Future
In 2001 the Drive-by Truckers ("DBT") released "Southern Rock Opera." It was an amazing album – a double-record concept about the rise and fall of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley wrote all of the songs. It was a breath of fresh air out of a stagnant southern music scene...
BCS Update Week 4 -- Licking the Wounds
In the year of our lord two thousand and seven, I was presented with a dilemma. For the 2004, 2005 and 2006 seasons, I had been diligently preparing BCS updates on Longhorn boards (2004 was by far the most interesting, for obvious reasons).

NCAA: Justice is a Dish Best Served Cold
One year ago tomorrow, Ohio State announced that five players would serve five-game suspensions apiece for their involvement in a tit-for-tattoos scandal. Today, after a tumultuous year of media brutality, suspensions and the loss of its head coach, the NCAA said to Ohio State: 'no soup for...
Opinion: Meyer and Ohio State a Perfect Fit
In January 2001, Jim Tressel was the man called upon to clean up Ohio State's image. It was tattered and badly in need of repair after mediocre performances ravaged the program on and off the field. Though Tressel's slightly-out-of-left-field hire wasn't immediately coined a home run by the...
Urban Comes Home
For nearly five years, some Ohio State fans have dreamed of the possibility that Florida head coach Urban Meyer would one day coach the Buckeyes if Jim Tressel ever left. On Monday, their visions of sugar plums became a giant dose of reality. At a long awaited press conference, Ohio State will...
Buckeyes Survive Early Gator Bite
For nearly 10 minutes Tuesday night, Florida looked like it was prepared to do unto others as it had done unto them last season. Ohio State, however, refused the taste of its own medicine. In the Global Sports Shootout, as part of ESPN's fourth-annual college hoops marathon, the Buckeyes overcame...

One year ago, Ohio State freshman Jared Sullinger had a coming-out party in Gainesville with 26 points and 10 rebounds.
