New Basketball Writer

Good evening, everybody. My name is Danny Tarter, and as Ian mentioned in the Sports Mash Up on Sunday, I am the new Buckeyes basketball writer for Inside The Shoe.

Much like the other writers on the blog, I am here because I have an (almost) unhealthy obsession with Ohio State. I was born and spent my entire childhood just outside of Cleveland, Ohio, and also am a die hard Indians and Cavs fan. I just graduated from Ohio State in June, 2010, and am still living/working in the Columbus area. I played a little football in high school (emphasis on "a little") but basketball was the first sport I fell in love with. 

While it is almost always overshadowed by football, Ohio State basketball really does have a rich tradition of its own, and is currently in the midst of a very successful decade. I hope to adequately cover Ohio State basketball and the issues that affect the team If there is any specific topic anyone wants to have researched, send me an email or just leave a comment. I look forward to writing for this blog, and to another successful year of Ohio State football AND basketball.
