--Ohio State has scored at least one touchdown in 127 straight games.

--Jim Tressel's next victory will be the 200th in his career.

SCOUTING THE OFFENSE
Beanie Wells rushed for a career-best 143 yards against Akron, but no one -- including coach Jim Tressel -- seemed overly impressed by it. Wells gained 89 of those yards on three carries in the second half, when Akron's defense had already been worn down. More disturbing were the five turnovers, four of which were committed by the offense (one on special teams). Todd Boeckman threw his first two interceptions of the year, but Tressel liked the way he responded. He was at home then. Throw a couple interceptions in Husky Stadium and the outcome could be completely different.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE
They aren't pitching shutouts, but they're coming close. The defense surrendered only two field goals in the opener against Youngstown State, then essentially shut out the Zips -- the only points allowed came on a safety. Ohio State's speed should be a factor against Washington. The Huskies likely haven't seen linemen and linebackers as fast as the Buckeyes' crew. Ultimately, it could be the difference in the game.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"At the end of the day, I think our guys saw some progress, our guys learned some lessons. I think we got a little bit better during that second week. And all of us know we're going to have to get a lot better to compete with the Huskies." -- Coach Jim Tressel.

The Ohio State Buckeyes football program is the best thing since sliced bread.  I'm still trying to figure something out, not really associated with Ohio State Buckeyes football, but I truly believe the first sentence.  Feel free to respond if you agree.

I never thought for the second year in a row I would see Michigan boards with all the talk of there recruits for this next year....We are talking Rose Bowl and the are talking of recruits...Interesting. Speaking of Recruits did u see who OSU pick up as a WR Tyron Williams...6'7 215 pound runs a 4.5 40..talk about a big fast target....Does anyone have any other information on this kid besides what ...(more)

F!!!!CK Jim Tressel and his stupid conservative playcalling.  There's no happiness whatsoever in this pathetic excuse of a win.

Ohio State is enjoying yet another Big 10 championship season, and this year, a trip to the Rose Bowl Game.  Their Rose Bowl opponent, the winner of the Oregon State vs. Oregon rivalry in a Thursday night game on December 3rd.  It doesn't get any better than this.  Unless, of course, the Buckeyes are playing for a national championship.  I have a feeling we'll be contendin ...(more)

Am I the only Buckeye fan that can't stand the constant television coverage of a select few of our middle-aged so-called die hards; 'Mr. Buckeye' (aka fat white guy with painted face, wig and Mr. T style buckeye necklace, the Andrew Zimmern-looking fat bald white guy with painted face (obviously), the silver bowl stuck with roses (nice touch) and too many chins to count, or the ...(more)

November is crunch time and Jim's teams have always played well in November.  During his time as head coach the Bucks have only lost in the month of November 4 times.  Let that sink in....I think that is a great stat.

His teams play well this time of year and always seem to get better in this month.  I hope this trend continues with the 3 big games left on the schedule.

Listen, I know all of you dislike that team from up north as you call them, but lets be for real. We need you guys to be contending every year for a Big Ten and BCS bowl, just like you need us to be contending year in and year out. What I want to know is if you were in our situation with RR and this spread stuff, which personally I like Pro style offense, that is what the Big Ten is about, what wo ...(more)

I am a huge Michigan fan, but I got to tell you, OSU has Big Blues number, and considering we have RR at coach I dont know if it gets any better. I enjoy watching this game, but it would be nice, hopefully in the near future for it to mean something. Anyway, maybe next year will be better, I hope we figure out what to do with this coaching situation.

Anyway, good luck OSU, please rep

This weekend sucks without the Bucks. All of these big rivalry games are all played on the final weekend. This is where"The Game" belongs. We need to finish our season later and play on the same day as all of these other fun rivalry games.

Warning to all Buckeyes:

Be careful what you say about the team up North.

Around 1999 I was sitting in a pub in Englewood Florida. The bartender was a Michigan Alum and was pretty much having her way with me about the rivalry. I think they had won that day and it was the Cooper years so you know how that was going. Anyway, she said one thing that CUT DEEP and sticks with me

For the first time in over a decade we get to smell the roses. It is a great chance for all the players. This is Terrelle Pryor's chance to show the nation that he has improved.

Coleman made First Team All-Big 10 for both the media and coaches. Boren made First team media and Second team coaches.

Homan,Cam, and Thad made Second team for the D on both coaches and media

Suprisingly, Saine made the Second team on both the coaches and media

A couple of takeaways that I get from this:

1. Tressel delivered another Big 10 cha
