Happy Thursday, everybody. It is one day closer to the weekend and, more importantly, one day closer to Buckeye football.
David Perkins is a Buckeye. The Class of 2012 added more firepower on Wednesday as the Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes got another commit, this time a four-star linebacker/running back from South Bend (Ind.) Washington. Perkins was originally committed to the Fighting Irish, but changed his mind during the season before picking Ohio State. Perkins was a key member of the Washington team that went to the 4A state finals for the first time in nearly 40 years.
The Fall Continues for the Hoosiers. This time, Indiana lost on the road to Nebraska 70-69, despite leading 63-52 with about six minutes remaining. I can’t say I feel bad for the Hoosiers, especially considering some of the recent comments by Tom Crean. Crean went on a rant on his weekly radio show, making statements seemingly aimed at the Ohio State coaching staff, as well as the players.
“We don’t have a team of guys that are out wearing their Beats headphones as they’re warming up,” Crean said, “Our guys are out there working with them.”I really do not understand that quote from Crean. Are you saying that your team is working before the game, the other team is just fooling around, and you still got manhandled by a closer-than-it-looked 17 points? Do the B1G a favor, Tom Crean, and just keep your mouth closed. It’s better for you, it’s better for your school, and it’s better for us, so we don’t have to hear you.
Buzzcuts Bounce Back. Wisconsin has continued to bounce back from early B1G trouble, beating Northwestern last night 77-57 in Madison. Preseason All-American Jordan Taylor had 15 for the Badgers, while John Shurna lead the Wildcats with 19 in a game that was close until early in the second half when Wisconsin pulled away.
The basketball Buckeyes aren’t in action until Saturday when they travel to Lincoln to take on the Cornhuskers. The Buckeyes will certainly be aware that Nebraska can pull off the upset after beating Indiana last night.
That’s all I’ve got for you today, Buckeye fans. Have a great Thursday!
