OSU has been down this road before
Oh gosh, don’t repeat this nightmare. Ohio State was undefeated and not allowed to go to a bowl game under the Big Ten’s no-repeat rule but could wrap up its second straight national championship with a final-game victory over arch-rival Michigan, coached by Ohio native Bo Schembechler, in his first ...
Commentary: Ex-Red Dunn not finished
The Chicago White Sox are hanging around first place again, and one of the reasons is designated hitter Adam Dunn.Yes, that Adam Dunn, who more than a few were dismissing last season when he handed in a .159 batting average, 11 homers (about 30 fewer than expected) and knocked in ...
Commentary: Music an antidote for sports talk
Love sports talk radio.Just love it, national or local.In fact, I was surprised when I drove my wife’s car the other day and I heard music. It was from an FM station.“You have FM radio?” I asked.“So do you,” she said.Well, I checked, and she was correct. And I’ve got ...
Commentary: Law school right call for ex-OSU linebacker
Of course Andrew Sweat made the right decision to forgo a possible NFL career and go to law school.Not everybody agrees with his choice, according to some of the Internet posts I’ve seen, but really, a guy in Sweat’s position has a better chance to become a top-tier lawyer than ...
Commentary: Tennis a competitive exercise for all ages
It’s nice to know that at least in a few sports, you can continue playing without having taken massive amounts of performance enhancing drugs and won’t end up with head trauma in middle age.Even if you were never quite at the professional level, you can be competitive — and well ...
Commentary: Draft prospect ‘proud’ to be a dad
Sometimes we live by the quote in sports, and it looks like North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins is going to be a go-to guy.He was supposed to go in the draft Thursday night, but of course I fell asleep and will have to read elsewhere on these pages what happened.Aside ...
Commentary: Paterno should've taken own advice
In hindsight, Penn State’s Joe Paterno should have taken the advice he once gave Ohio State’s Woody Hayes in their pregame meeting at Ohio Stadium in 1975.It was the first game between the two football coaches, and while each had already earned a quality reputation, Hayes was 62 — considered ...
Commentary: OSU deserved title consideration in ’96
I always thought the 1996 Ohio State Buckeyes should have received more recognition for their 11-1 record after beating Arizona State in the Rose Bowl, but OSU finished second in the Associated Press voting to 11-1 Florida.As I recall, the Buckeyes received only one first-place vote, and it was mine.I ...
Commentary: Save the OSU tears for real tragedy
There were plenty of long faces and more than a few tears in the Ohio State family on Tuesday, and they had nothing to do with NCAA football sanctions at the school.Former coach Earle Bruce was greeting long lines of guests at a visitation for his wife, Jean, who died ...
OSU should bring out LUKE headbands
Seeing white headbands on Ohio State football players Saturday may be a good omen for the Buckeyes.The last time the team did it, Ohio State beat Michigan 23-20 in Ann Arbor on Nov. 21, 1987.On each headband was printed EARLE, for coach Earle Bruce, who was supposed to learn after ...
