When the topic of overrated college football coaches comes up, names such as Jim Tressel, Mark Richt, Rich Rodriguez and Les Miles are often tossed around. Out of these four coaches, two, (Tressel and Miles) have a BCS National Championship trophy to show. However, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz is rarely mentioned in such conversations. Why is this? I get that he and Iowa have always been media darlings, and I understand his Hawkeyes have been the proverbial fly in the ointment for Penn State...
College football’s best dressed coach gave a historic interview to a Columbus Ohio magazine that caters to the city’s gay residents. The Columbus Outlook interviewed Ohio State’s Jim Tressel last month where the coach suggested that he’d openly accept any gay player to the Ohio State Buckeye football family.”We try to tell our guys that an authentic you is the best you,” Tressel told the magazine. “That’s truly what freedom means, and the beauty of living in America. People...
During the New Mexico State game back on Halloween, Ohio State’s stud sophomore QB Terrelle Pryor suffered an ankle injury during the win that’s been nagging him ever since. Now it’s just been revealed that he has been dealing with another injury, a partially torn PCL in his knee. Though the Buckeyes and Pryor are mum on which knee is injured, it doesn’t matter, a partial tear will simply slow down Pryor and his aggressiveness. Although, Pryor is assuring...
The 96th Rose Bowl is getting a little more interesting as both Oregon and Ohio State are dealing with shrinking rosters. The Oregon Ducks have just announced that back-up WR Jamere Holland is academically ineligible for post season play. During the season, he amassed 13 catches for 199 yards and 2 TDs. The Eugene Register-Guard reported that this is nothing new for Holland and the Ducks as he has been dealing with academic issues all throughout his collegiate career....
Ohio State’s WR Ray Small is still not on the depth chart for today’s game against the Navy Midshipmen. It was reported last night that Small, OSU’s kick returner and wide receiver, was ill and would not play in the opener. Rumors are also speculating that Small may have been kicked-off the team or left the team for repeated violations of team rules. Since he has a history of trouble under Tressel, it shouldn’t be too shocking to fans...
Ohio State’s WR and PR Ray Small has been cleared to rejoin the team by coach Jim Tressel. However, Small is still in the doghouse and has a short leash around his neck primarily for his academic issues. Tressel has not given him all the privileges yet of being on the team and Small will not be partaking in the official team photo later this week. Hopefully, Small gets his act together so he can suit up and play. He...
Ohio State’s Tyler Moeller (Jr. 6’0, 216 lbs) was projected to start at linebacker with Storm Klein (Fr. 6’3, 225 lbs.) backing him up. However, Moeller may not see much playing time this season as he underwent brain surgery over the weekend. The surgery was successful and he is currently listed in fair condition. The exact injury has not been disclosed, but Moeller did hit his head on the ground during a family trip this past summer. Although, there are...
According to the experts, Ohio State is the team to beat in the Big 10. There is a lot of hype around the Buckeyes and coach Jim Tressel this season. When you look at this team, all of this season’s fate rests in the hands of sophomore Terrelle Pryor (So. 6’6 235 lbs.). The question remains, can he do it? Pryor had a strong freshman year leading the Big 10 with a pass-efficiency rating of 151.3 in conference play and...
