Live Blog: #2 Ohio State vs. Illinois

For the first half, you can join in the chat with tBBC and the rest of the Buckeye blogs gang, and in the second half, ITS will take over.

For Today's Buckeye Spring News..

Head on over to FSN, to read what our friend Jeff has to say about the happenings at the Spring Camp. It covers what I did earlier but with more information overall, since it's from today, not yesterday.

Side note - Jeff is also the owner of the Buckeye Battle Cry.

Big Dance hits midnight.

Duke won..DUKE. Ugh, If it could have been anyone else, I wouldn't have cared. Not only was it Duke, but Butler was 2 inches away from being the National Champions instead of being the runner-ups. Well, they had a great run, and a really nice 25-game win streak. We wish congratulations to both teams, and of course the 2010 Bracket Challenge Champion...Eric Gingrich! Yes, it is Eric from tBBC. I don't know how he did it, but he did, and we would like to wish him congratulations as well. It came close, but at the end he pulled it out. He now gets a free item of his choice from our shop. Good job Eric, and Go Bucks!

Big Ten starting to make some moves.

It has been reported throughout the day that the current Big 12 school, Texas, is currently having "preliminary exchanges" with the Big Ten and it's need for expansion. Most Buckeye fans, including other Big Ten schools, like this idea, or so we think. Personally, I would love the idea, because it seems every so often, Texas and Ohio State duke it out for the top spot. So this automatically makes the conference THAT much tougher on us, and we can continue to do better in bowl games. In this case, it would not only help the Big Ten, but also help Texas. The past year has led to a nice little downfall for Big 12 fans, and this would seem like a good time to get out. Unlike last time, this story HAS a source, and may in fact, become true.
