~Bucks and Buffs to Play in 2011
Ohio State and Colorado will meet on the football field Sept. 24, 2011, at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, the two schools announced today. "The matchup with the Buffaloes gives Buckeye fans just another reason to anticipate the 2011 season," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. Ohio State will pay the Buffaloes $1.4 million for the one-time matchup.  The two schools last met in football in 1986. Ohio State leads the all-time series by a 3-1 margin, including a Buckeyes' victory in the 1977 Orange Bowl.

~2011 Class Continues to Grow
Ohio State has accepted the commitment of Massillon (Ohio) Washington wide receiver Devin Smith, the 15th commitment to the Buckeyes' 2011 recruiting class.  Smith, one of the top prospects in Ohio, received his offer after an impressive performance at Ohio State's senior camp. Smith transferred from Akron (Ohio) Ellet after his sophomore season. As a junior, Smith had 989 receiving yards as a junior, and scored 15 touchdowns, in helping lead the Tigers deep into the Ohio playoffs.

~Cheater, Cheater...
This is Mike Garrett's world, and nobody else is living in it. In Garrett's world, all logic is circular: USC is never wrong, therefore USC is never wrong.  Nobody else is buying the denials anymore. Nobody else is buying the delusions. USC went on a cheating spree, got caught and got sentenced, and Garrett is still playing the victim.  Judging from the way he has handled this USC scandal, Garrett seems like the kind of guy who would sucker-punch you in a dark alley, then sue your face (Read On...

~Here Come the Huskers
University of Nebraska officials said Friday that they will apply for membership in the Big Ten Conference and expect to be accepted.  Chancellor Harvey Perlman disclosed the plan during a meeting of the university's Board of Regents, proposing that play in the new conference begin in 2011 after one more year in the Big 12. The Huskers' football team struggled in the early and mid 2000s but have returned to national prominence the past two seasons under Bo Pelini, who is an Ohio State alumnus.

~Lucky #13
Ohio State has added the 13th member to its 2011 recruiting class, with the decision of Vernon Hills (ILL) wide receiver Evan Spencer to become a Buckeye.  Spencer led his team in receiving and scoring as a junior. He finished second in rushing and tied for the team lead in interceptions but he stated that he is being recruited as a wide receiver by Ohio State. Evan's father, Tim Spencer, was a running back at Ohio State, coached with the Buckeyes and is now coaching with the Chicago Bears.

~It's Miller Time for OSU
For the second time in three years, Ohio State has landed the nation's top quarterback prospect. On the eve of his press conference, Miller made a visible commitment to the OSU program by getting a large Block ‘O’ tattoo on his left shoulder. He might not be able to sign a national letter-of-intent until next year, but he already has ink for the Buckeyes.  The 6-foot-3, 200-pound, Miller will graduate early, and will be enrolling at Ohio State in January of 2011, to be able to participate in spring football.
