We began our Social Distancing series examining the recruiting of Michigan and Ohio State on Thursday with a broad look overall at the two rosters and the respective rankings of their scholarship players as recruits. Now we move forward with a more compartmental look, concentrating our focus on distinct areas of the field and how they compare. Today, we’ll take…
If your hypothesis is that Ohio State football has distanced itself from Michigan football, all you’d really need to prove it is the scoreboard since 2001. Even more recently, the Buckeyes have won eight in a row over the Wolverines, with the last two getting very out of hand. The concerning thing for the Michigan football program, however, is that if you look at the compositions…
With the shortage in national pastimes happening right now, we thought we’d turn to one of our other national pastimes — standing around the water cooler and arguing about sports. So Tom Orr and myself have begun a series where we take interesting and somewhat random sports topics and lay out our thoughts on them, just as you have done and will do again…
With the addition of four-star CB Andre Turrentine on Tuesday, Ohio State has now added four players to its class of 2021 in the past three days.
The fallout from the COVID-19 virus and its impact on Ohio State athletics may seem unprecedented, but something like this has happened before. The 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic not only changed a Buckeye football season, it also brought a memorable first to the Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry.
As the final seconds of Ohio State’s 77-63 win over Michigan ticked off the clock, Buckeye fans twisted the knife just a little bit more. “Just like football!”
On November 26, 2011, Michigan beat Ohio State, 40-34. The loss capped a 6-6 regular season for the Buckeyes and propelled the Wolverines to a Sugar Bowl berth against Virginia Tech. Wednesday, February 12, 2020 marks exactly 3,000 days since that day, the last time Michigan won The Game. A number like “3,000 days” can be hard to wrap your head around, especially…
Good is the enemy of great. Michigan is good. Ohio State is great. And once again the Buckeyes asserted their dominance over a Michigan team that had such high expectations and failed to meet almost every last one of them. Ohio State won The Game 56-27 on Saturday, the eighth time in a row they have made the Wolverines rethink their respective life choices.
“People say ‘What if you don’t win The Game?’ There’s no choice. You have to win The Game. You don’t have a choice when you’re a Buckeye. You have to win that game.”
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr react to the reactions from Michigan fans following Ohio State’s 56-27 win on Saturday. They discuss Ohio State’s immense advantages in this rivalry, such as computers and trying. They then talk about what Ryan Day and his Buckeyes had to say on Tuesday in the lead up to Saturday’s game against…
