The Big Ten Conference And Realignment

The NCAA's musical chairs act of the past two years have seen big shake-ups as major college football schools moved from one conference to another. For the most part, the Big Ten Conference led the way, adding Maryland, Rutgers and Nebraska to the itinerary, and the new divisions will change how Ohio State Football and other D-I programs operate. Instead of the Leaders and Legends divisions that were formed in 2011, the new Big Ten Conference will be divided geographically with the West and East divisions.

In the East division of the Big Ten Conference, the Ohio State Football program will share the ranks with the Indiana Hoosiers, the Maryland Terps, the arch-rival Michigan Wolverines, the Michigan State Spartans, the Penn State Nitany Lions, and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. In the West, the Illinois Fighting Illini share a division with the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Northwestern Wildcats, the Purdue Boilermakers, and the Wisconsin Badgers.

The 2013 Ohio State Spring Football Game

Few sporting events in central Ohio create the buzz of the Ohio State football program. With one of the largest stadiums in the United States, the Horseshoe becomes its own municipality each time that the Buckeyes host a football game against a Big Ten opponent. Having forfeited a bowl game appearance, the Buckeye football 2013 schedule is now looking all the more attractive since the team is eager to prove that they again belong in the echelon of elite NCAA teams. The Ohio State Spring Game, a squad scrimmage of existing players and new recruits, is the first peep of the upcoming Buckeye football 2013 season and drew a large crowd as usual.

LaQuinton Ross's Stunning Three-Point Shot

Ohio State Basketball In The NCAA Tournament

Ohio State basketball has made their presence known in the NCAA tournament by consistently having games go down to the wire. The March 28th tilt against Arizona proved no different, as the Buckeyes downed the Wildcats by a slim margin of 73 to 70. Ohio State has won each game by last-second shots, this time proving triumphant due to power forward LaQuinton Ross's stunning three-point shot with only two seconds left on the clock.

Ohio State and Arizona entered the game as familiar foes. OSU coach Thad Matta and Arizona coach Sean Miller both worked together at Miami of Ohio in the 1990s, both working their way up to the ranks of NCAA basketball head coaches. Most recently, the two coaches faced each other in 2007 when Miller was at Xavier University. For this tilt in the West Region bracket in Los Angeles, both teams entered the Sweet Sixteen hoping to punch a ticket to the Elite Eight.

The crowd in Staples Center -- home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, and Kings -- was firmly behind the Arizona Wildcats, with only a token cluster of scarlet-and-gray Buckeye fans representing. The crowd may have energized the Wildcats, since they had a more impressive first period than their adversaries. The 'cats led by four points at the first buzzer, with shooting guard Mark Lyons scoring ten points. They capitalized each time on Ohio State's five turnovers.

The second half, however, as a different story entirely. Ohio State began with a ten-zero run, keeping the Wildcats scoreless for more than five minutes of possession. Once the Buckeyes had their lead, they kept pushing strong and did not let Arizona back into the game. Though they tied the game at seventy in the dying seconds thanks to a Lyon foul throw, the OSU buzzer-beater sent the Wildcats home and the Buckeyes into the next phase of the NCAA tournament.

Buckeyes Cleanup Iona Meltdown

Was this David vs. Goliath, Jack vs. Giant, or just a No.2 against an up and coming team? Nobody can deny that the Ohio State Buckeyes earned their victory and are a team to be reckoned with in the NCAA. The Iona Gaels are showing that they are not to be taken for granted as an opponent and it is only a matter of time before victory will come their way.

The Buckeyes have strong players in Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft. Iona has Lamont "MoMo" Jones, points leader in the MAAC and 3rd in nation, was held to only 11 points in this game. The team needs to build a core unit of stronger players to move up in the ranks.

Ohio State vs. Iona NCAA Tournament

Ohio State is set to play Iona in the 2nd round of the West Division tonight at 7:15pm in Dayton Ohio. You can catch the game on CBS. Iona is 20-13 on the season with a record of 11-7 in the MAAC. Ohio State enters the NCAA Tournament 26-7 overall with a Big Ten record of 13-5 and the Big Ten Tournament trophy. Playing in the Dayton Arena should feel like home for the Buckeyes as they only need to travel a couple of hours on Route 70 to get there.

Iona returns to the NCAA tournament after setting the record for blowing the biggest lead in the tournament’s history last year. They had a 25 point lead on BYU in the opening round in 2012 and lost the game. The Gaels are a 15 seed and played in Dayton last year, so its either going to be more confortable for them or just as unlucky.

Ohio State Lands WR James Clark on National Signing Day

Urban Meyer and the Buckeye football staff closed out their 2013 class in great fashion getting most of their targeted players in the last week. They ranked up near the top with Michigan and the SEC teams that normally dominate the recruiting rankings. The fun started with safety Vonn Bell joining the Buckeyes followed by wide receivers James Clark and Dontre Wilson. They had to let a punter go to Florida when they ran out of room but were able to keep running back Ezekiel Elliot in the fold despite rumors that he was looking elsewhere. Elliot was the best recruit out of Missouri and promised the only running back position in the class. With Dontre Wilson playing running back in high school, Elliot got nervous and visited in-state Missouri a week before national letter of intent signing day.

Ohio State Fans Get A Glimpse Of The Future

A sneak peek at the future of Buckeyes football will come this weekend, as many of the verbally committed Ohio State recruits will play in one of the four All-American games.

Several other prospects that could be leaning toward OSU will also announce where they plan to play college ball during the weekend. This could make for a lot of optimistic Buckeyes fans, or it could lead to more misery.

Offense-Defense All-American Bowl
Sunday, December 30

The Offense-Defense All-American Bowl was held on December 30 in Houston's Reliant Stadium. Two future Buckeyes played in the game.

Ohio State fans have known they were gaining Jayme Thompson since April, 2011, but this game gave them the first chance to see the kid they hope will bring depth to a secondary that is losing its biggest play-maker. Thompson's big plays in the state championship game helped his Central Catholic High School to defeat Trotwood-Madison for the trophy.

Taivon Jacobs, a Buckeyes commitment from Maryland, also played in the game.

Under Armour All-America Game
Friday, January 4 at 5 p.m. ET

The Under Armour All-America Game is only in its sixth year, but it was grown to include some of the most talented high school players in the country and is known for being a heck of a game.

The highlight of this game for Ohio State fans will be that five future Buckeyes are all suiting up for Team Nitro. This quintet includes defensive end Joey Bosa, cornerback Cam Burrows, WR/ATH Jalin Marshall, TE Marcus Baugh and DB Gareon Conley.

In addition, ILB Trey Johnson plans to officially commit during the game. Many feel he is leaning toward State, where he could be on the field as soon as 2013.

The game will also showcase OL Logan Tuley-Tillman who burned his Ohio State letter and committed to Michigan. DE Robert Nkemdiche, the No. 1 ranked player in the country will also be playing.

Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl
Friday, January 4 at 9 p.m. ET

The second Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl will be held in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles immediately following the Under Armour All-America Game.

While the game does not feature any committed Ohio State Recruits, RB Corn Elder will be playing. This Tennessee native is considering the Buckeyes in addition to several other schools. It is widely believed he is leaning toward UCLA.

Marcelys Jones Commits for Ohio State’s 2014 Class

A surprise came to the Buckeye community on Christmas this year when 2014 Cleveland Glenville recruit Marcelys Jones informed Urban Meyer and the OSU coaching staff that he was selecting the Buckeyes for his college career. The staff had been active recruiting without a bowl game to prepare for until the recruiting dead period began. The Glenville offensive lineman is a big 6’4” 325 lbs. power house that is hopefully just the first or a number of Tarblooder’s the staff hopes to get commitments from.
