It’s a common theme for college football fans to be told they are seeing things through “such and such” colored glasses. Sometimes, it is fans of a team that hasn’t been relevant in over 20 years thinking they are National Title contenders. Other times, it is a fan from {insert literally any southern team here} thinking they would be the best team in any other…
This season was not a mirage. Like the Michigan game, it was real and it was awesome. The Ohio State offense was the most impressive thing we have seen in school history. We knew it would be like this coming into the year. The Buckeyes had a very experienced wide receiver room, a dynamic 1-2 punch at running back, and…
Let’s just fast-forward to Saturday night. We’ve spent the last 17 hours of the pre-show with the focus on how Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray and Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa are the front-runners for the Heisman Trophy. Every now and then, ESPN will cut to Dwayne Haskins. Not because they are talking about his historic season.
I have a simple question for you all. Why was Minnesota the breaking point for you? As those who listen to the Sons of Schmidt know, I spent the past week in Branson, Missouri where I got a week away from work with my family and was transplanted into some washed up country singer paradise. It was fun but…
On September 1, it won’t be personal. Most Ohio State fans don’t mind Oregon State at all. Sure, most Ohio State fans don’t get the PAC-12 Network so they don’t have a lot to go on. If there is any hate there, it’s purely just some stupid thing about your university using “OSU.” If you see something about that, don’t worry.
We are a mere three days away from fall camp starting. I tend to get a little excited every year but this year seems different. The Buckeyes lost a bunch of big name players, but there just seems to be up-and-coming five-star after up-and-coming five-star ready to step in. Take a look at the defensive line where Ohio State lost…
Coming into this season, I was a little worried how the Ohio State wide receiver room would shake out. I thought for sure Parris Campbell and Johnnie Dixon were gone to the NFL draft. Along with them, I would not have been shocked if K.J. Hill and Terry McLaurin left as well. You add these four guys to the loss of tight…
Tapping into my inner Tony and without doing the research, I’d assume there are not many running back rooms around the country which consists of two former 1,000-yard rushers. I’d assume there are even less that had both of those guys rush for over 1,000 yards in their respective freshman seasons. Going into last season…
This fall was supposed to be for all of the marbles. Two great quarterbacks facing off in one of the most highly-anticipated quarterback battles in Ohio State history. In one corner, you had the Ohio-born Joe Burrow who was coming off of an injury plagued 2017 season and a great 2018 spring game. In the other corner, you had the slayer…
Leadership can be defined a number of ways. When you really think about it though, you generally only have two types of leaders. On one hand, you have a leader who is simply a leader because of his or her position. It’s an appointed status. On the other hand, you can have a leader who, because of their actions, causes people to follow them.
Do you smell that in the air? No, not the stench of NBA basketball. Wrong again, it is NOT the stench of the Browns fans trying to convince the world that Saquon Barkley is a horrible NFL prospect while touting Josh Allen as a franchise quarterback. This smell is greatness, this smell is real life football being played in Columbus.
