Another Senior Tradition?

This story is interesting enough. Too bad I am still in the dumps from last Saturday’s game. I have already turned down 2 pairs of tickets for this week’s game. I guess people can’t give them away.

Do I Need To Be THE One???

Yes, that is right friends. I am going to start calling for Jim Tressel to resign…or get fired, I am not picky, I will take either one. Buckeye Nation doesn’t stand for the unoriginality that he keeps throwing out there every big game. “The Tressel Way” doesn’t cut it anymore. It worked in 2002/03 but [...]
