BUCKEYES on radio and BROWNS at 8 on TV.

Plus I'll miss another BUCKEYE game due to the greedy B10 Net, they want it as a main package, all or nothing on our Armstrong Cable, not ala cart, extra, premium.

.....thanks again for nothing.

Kansas with a Buckeye fanbase, most intriguing that's certainly more Buckeye fans than here in NY. 

It's that time of the year again, let's will our Buckeyes to victory!

Geeezzzz I can't believe it's football season, normal high/low is about 77/55 here in NE Ohio and it's 90+ outside right now!

Still GO BUCKEYES!

  time of year.

Buckeyes looking decent.  Pryor is throwing some good passes.  Saine running good.  Defense looks good. 

However, special teams look BAD.  I mean BAD.

[ScarletBlooded]

Quite the crushing game as always, despite a little slip on defense in the first quarter the Buckeyes functioned well.

Of course as you pointed out Nate, the special teams were silent, barely made any noise at all which could be detrimental for us in the long run when we need our special teams as the X-factor.

Despite that, awesome game from the Bucks.

I am most pleased with our depth at RB.  What did we use, 6 RBs?  Berry was the last off the bench?  He looks good enought to start at most schools.

I also liked TP hitting Stoneburner several times.  Will this finally be TheYear we actually use the tight end as a threat?  JT says the same thing every year about using the TEs more, but will this year be TheYear?  I hope so Stoneburner looks great.

Dexter Larimore had a great game stuffing the middle, causing havoc in the backfield and moving down the LOS.  He will have a huge year if he stays health.  He looks like a man among boys out there.

Don't know if anyone else noticed but when the BTN showed film of TP from the Rose Bowl he was holding the ball around his chest when he was set up to throw in the pocket.  Last night he had the ball up by his ear and ready to throw.  He has definitely been work on that.  I thought he threw the ball about as well as anyone could have hoped for.  As a junior, we should get a lot more consistent play out of him this year.  I had read somewhere that JT was going to let him call plays in the no-huddle at the LOS.  We did not show that wrinkle last night.
