There are no games between two ranked teams this week, but as long-time readers of the Tip Sheet know, these are the weeks where crazy things happen. How crazy? That’s up to the football gods. As always, however, you will want to know who to root for and you will also want the best sports analysis in the business. I can’t promise either of those things, but…
Welcome to week two of the college football season. There are two games this week where both teams are ranked, which is cool, I guess. There are also some under-the-radar games that are actually kind of important. I’m not saying you need stop what you are doing and make sure you don’t miss any of the action this week, but I am saying that if you miss…
Welcome to the first week of the college football season. Would it surprise you to know that I’m already a bit behind? Do you even care? Of course you don’t. You never did. That’s why it never worked out for us. I wanted to write about sports and explore local rivers and research regional barn histories and you wanted to be a hostage negotiator.
College football is back! Sort of. There are four games on television this weekend and we will cover each of them in the kind of musky depth that you have come to expect from your preeminent source for whatever it is that happens here. These may not be ideal games, but it’s better than another weekend trying to intimidate kids at Magic Mountain by…
It all comes down to this weekend. What looked impossible two weeks ago could become probable by Saturday evening. The Buckeyes were seemingly out of the playoff picture after an overtime win at Maryland, but now with a win against Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship, and possibly a couple of other very…
Yes, the Tip Sheet is arguably the most important piece of weekly written word in sports, but this week it takes a back seat to the Michigan game. While there are plenty of things going on around the country this weekend, the only thing that should matter to Buckeye and Wolverine fans right now is The Game.
Welcome to the Week Before Indiana Week! It’s always a great week to focus on who the Buckeyes will be playing next week. The Hoosiers and the Buckeyes have a long history together and when they decided to move in next to each other after the Louisiana Purchase, you knew it was only a matter of time before a pair…
We have now passed through the first threshold of understanding what kind of team the Buckeyes have and it seems like a fairly decent group of guys. Offensively, the run game could be more dominant, and that may come as defenses began to concern themselves a bit more with the OSU passing game. As far as the…
I have a lot of games to get to and I can’t be spending time writing an introduction that has depth and meaning. I use my brains pretty much every day, but I hate using them before I need to use them. It’s like pulling the car out of the garage and parking it down the street and then going back inside to shower and shave before leaving for the day.
This college football season is already flying by. Before we know it, Michigan will have three losses and the leaves won’t even be changing colors yet. There are only two matchups between ranked opponents this week, so people are trying to hate on the schedule. Those people can go eat worms. We’re still getting a weekend of…
Welcome to the college football season. You have put up with so much to get to this point. Neighbors. Co-workers. Family. Police. But we’ve made it. This is the first week of the 2018 college football season and there are some terrific matchups to get excited about, and many of them could impact the Ohio State Buckeyes down the line.
