Hurricane A Brew'n in Miami

Very appropriate

There is not only a hurricane forming in the Atlantic but also one forming over the city of Miami, FL.

In the past 6 months there have been enough college football scandals to last a lifetime. Ohio State, Boise State and a host of others have been under the NCAA microscope with Miami being the latest casualty.

I will be the first one to tell you that I have always though the Hurricane's have been thugs. From the teams of the 90's to Kellen Winslow being a 'solider'. When Ohio State beat them in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl to win the national title that year, I couldn't have been happier! Not only was it the first championship for Ohio State in my lifetime, but it came against a team that I despised, almost as much as that team up north.When we beat them handily last fall in Columbus, I cheered some more!

When the allegations came out about the inappropriate benefits (and actions, behavior, etc.) from Yahoo! Sports, I kind of turned a deaf ear. I was tired of hearing the NCAA come down on someone because they failed to catch Cam Newton and Gene Chiziek, but as I followed the story further, I knew, without a doubt that most of the allegations had to be true. The Ohio State situation has to be proof of that. The NCAA has been doing their homework and not casting allegations out just to be on the front page. No one thought after the Sugar Bowl that Jim Tressel would no longer be the coach, that Terrelle Pryor would be in the NFL or that the other four would have stayed to serve their punishments (I applaud and appreciate the respect they are showing to Coach Tressel, Coach Fickell, the staff and fans by doing that.)

In Case You Missed It

Pryor will try to avenge the loss in prime time.

Due to my internet betraying me and Blogger going down a day after I got it back, here's a recap of the big story over the end of the week. Normal posting will now continue.

It was announced that Ohio State will have 2 games in prime time. Miami and Wisconsin are the games that are in prime time as of right now. Kickoff in Miami will be at 7:30 or 8 p.m. on Sept. 17. The game will be broadcast on either ABC or ESPN.

The teams played in Columbus last season, with the Buckeyes winning 36-24. The 2011 match-up will be Ohio State's first trip to play the Hurricanes in Miami. 

Meanwhile, the Badger game will be carried by ABC, ESPN or ESPN2 in Columbus. Pryor and co. will be in tow as they try and avenge their loss to Wisconsin way back in October.

This is the third prime time game for the Buckeyes, as it is added to the Ohio State-Nebraska game, which will be a dandy in Lincoln. The Tat Five and Tressel will be returning in that game, so you know the build up to that point will be incredibly large.
