Latest news and updates about the Ohio State
Ohio State returns to the field this week following their second bye week of the season. The last time the Buckeyes took the field was two weeks ago in Madison, where they blanked Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers 34-0. The shutout was the second of the season for the Ohio State defense, which is […]

USC-Nebraska! Penn State-Ohio State! Uh…football! We’ve done about all the pre-Halloween prep in the MNW household.

Last week ATS: 7-8 (4-4 National, 3-4 B1G) Season ATS: 81-77 (33-40 National, 48-37 B1G) So far this year it has felt like we’ll have one big weekend a month and the rest of the time we are either a game above or below .500. It’s hard to get mad about since our season record […]

Coming into the season, this weekend’s matchup was circled as one of the marquee showdowns on the college football calendar. While things have gone a bit sideways in Happy Valley and the game might not carry the same top-ten billing it once promised, Ohio State isn’t taking Penn State lightly. From the coaching staff to […]

For the third season in a row, Northwestern field hockey has outright possession of the Big Ten title! A 3-1 win over No. 14 Michigan got it there, while a dominant 7-0 showing against Ohio State was the cherry on top. Let’s talk all about it. Winning the Big Ten used to be monumental for […]

The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons. Penn State is 3-4 and 0-4 in Big Ten play, and they have already fired head coach James Franklin after three straight losses to Oregon, UCLA, and Northwestern. In their first […]

I have been a long-time James Franklin skeptic in that, while he was Penn State’s head coach, no matter how good the Nittany Lions were in any given year, I could go into Ohio State’s matchup with them with a certain level of confidence. I guess by that metric, a more accurate label for myself […]

It was a late October day in Columbus, Ohio. Clouds sprinkled across the sky and the sun made the 50 degrees Fahrenheit day a prototypical autumn afternoon in the midwest. It was the kind of day where a hoodie and jeans felt perfect. Locals knew it was a “false fall” kind of day that should […]
