Buckeyes back to win … or claim Horrible Hat Trick
Buckeyes back to win … or claim Horrible Hat Trick It would be different if, say, Maurice Clarett were still punking things up, if the Buckeyes were accessorizing orange prison jump suits with Big Ten championship rings.

Spurrier plans to avoid repeat of last season’s fade
http://www2.journalnow.com/content/2008/aug/23/spurrier-plans-to-avoid-repeat-of-last-seasons-fad/ He’s disappointed but not despondent; guarded, yet full of hope; enthusiastic but careful enough not to set himself up for another crash.

Gene Upshaw, N.F.L. Union Chief, Dies at 63
Gene Upshaw, N.F.L.
