Mike Adams Impresses at Senior Bowl. Mike Adams was one of the top prospects at offensive tackle for the upcoming NFL Draft before Senior Bowl practices started, but it seems that he is doing even more to help his cause.

There is a good chance he will be a first-round pick in April.
A Legend is Laid to Rest. Sadly, Joe Paterno died this past Sunday after a battle with lung cancer. Public viewings were yesterday and today, with a private funeral to take place today. Paterno has the most wins in college football history with 409 over 46 seasons at the helm of the Nittany Lions.
Buckeye Basketball Star Named B1G POTW.

Since Brady did his shameless plug for himself on Twitter yesterday, I think I will do the same. You can follow me @StephanSharp. Do this. Right now. I tweet Buckeye sports, soccer (Visca Barça) and, really, anything that amuses me. Follow @InsideTheShoe too. He does a great job keeping you updated on all the latest Buckeye information.
