Big Ten

We see it all the time in sports…the slapping of the ass in congratulatory fashion. I’ve done it, you’ve done it, it just feels so natural in the heat of battle.
But that’s usually the case for teammates or possibly even opposing players – not the refs…in the middle of a game…for absolutely no reason.
It’s a [...]

The 2011 season for the Ohio State Buckeye football team is one that needs to be completely forgotten from beginning to end. From losing one of the most well respected coaches in the game, to losing The Game against that team up North, there isn’t a whole lot of positivity that can be taken from [...]

And I thought the Rookie that wrecked on the last lap of the Indy 500 was the definition of crashing and burning.
It’s been a long 6 months or so for Buckeye Nation, but alas, it would appear the downfall at Ohio State is going to happen sooner rather than later. Jim Tressel has decided to [...]

So far so good. We have had our share of upsets, and we have seen some buzzer beaters. For all of you March Madness junkies, what’s gone on so far should be enough to get your fix. Most of us had Ohio State and Kansas getting pretty deep in the tourney, but I’m guessing there [...]

Big Ten officials unveiled the logo today, and it is whack as hell. All it consists of is the two words colored differently. It looks like the firm that won the contract forgot when it was due, and threw this together at the last second. This company must have a real-life Don Draper running the [...]

Twitter is awesome.
I just started my account (Follow me at Jockpost22), and already it has provided a way to communicate on a more personal level with sports fans that I never would have otherwise been connected with. Good or bad, everyone’s opinion can be heard thanks to the magic of the inter-web.
A few days ago, [...]

When you think of football in the Big Ten conference, the first things that come to mind is usually a rugged, hard nosed, boring style of play – games ending with both teams scoring less then 20 points is not that abnormal. This type of style has caused most people in the media and fans in [...]

The Big Ten Conference and the State of Nebraska have had a lot to discuss lately. And with all the conference jumping chit-chat, you have to figure that there have been some higher ups within the two organizations that have had more than a fair share of conversations. And within these conversations, there had to [...]

Missouri governor Jay Nixon must have had a slow day at the office. 
He found time in his busy day to bash on the two teams that left the Big 12, Nebraska and Colorado, saying they were basically bringing the conference down with their weak schedules and lack of basketball talent.
This coming from a guy who lobbied for [...]

For those of you that thought Big Ten expansion would take years to accomplish, think again.
Talks have heated up this week between the Big Ten and other conferences that could give us a timetable of when this expansion may occur. Some believe it could happen as soon as the next few months.
According to the Chicago Tribune high-ranking [...]

The Big Ten has the most teams of any conference still alive in the best tournament in the world. Ohio State, Michigan State, and Purdue are representing a conference many times looked down upon by the likes of the Big East and ACC.
Two of these three teams are now operating with key players out.
In [...]

WEEK 15: Updating Your Ass is a weekly feature recapping the week in NCAA Men’s Basketball through the eyes of JOCKpost writer, KB.
March is only weeks away, but the madness has already begun. The battles for the Big East, Big Ten, and ACC regular season titles continue to go back and forth, while Kansas and [...]
