The Big Ten season is half over and while Michigan State has a three-game lead (going into the 2/2 contest at Wisconsin), OSU is still right in the thick of things.

We break down the play of late, including the remarkable season from junior Evan Turner, and talk about the 1960 national championship team’s reunion this past weekend.

Good things appear to be on the horizon for the basketball Bucks.

Jonathan Knight joins me to talk about the show LOST. We break down all five seasons that have already taken place to get you ready for the series’ final season, which begins on ABC Tuesday, Feb. 2.

What do the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 mean?

How do you keep everything straight? It’s tough, and we don’t even get to break down everything during our hour-long quest to figure it out.

NFL Picks

Fulch has officially won the picks contest for 2009!

He picked both Indy and New Orleans in the conference championship games and has eliminated both Miles and Big Game from contention.

We’ll be setting up a meal on myself for the accomplishment and hopefully we’ll have as good a turnout next season.

Thanks for participating!

We talk about the game, and preview next season, because, you know, it’s never too early to preview next season — yes, we both realize it’s nine months away!

First off, congrats to the Buckeyes for getting the monkey off their back! Rose Bowl champs, and in the immortal words of all those who came before, “They can’t take it away from” them…because really, who would try, except the NCAA?

NFL Picks

We had quite a bit of activity in the final week of the regular season and the improbable result is a three-way tie for the overall championship.

Big Game made a furious charge with a 14-2 week — he won the week and the extra point by nailing the overall score exactly at 37, while Adman and JMB also had 14 and picked 35, so close!

Big Game’s run puts him in a flat-footed tie — I guess that’s even more of a tie than just a “tie” — with Miles and Fulch for the overall pick-em championship.

Because the CPA didn’t budget enough funds for a three-person free lunch, the trio will fight to the death in a playoffs pick-em. I invite all participants to take part, but only these three can win the overall title — we’ll pick every game in the postseason and they’ll pick an overall score for the Super Bowl. I’ll even make sure they’re different numbers and we’ll see who comes out on top!

I’m secretly rooting for Fulch because I haven’t seen him since college, but that won’t change the fact that, to the best of my ability, I’ll add up the scores correctly.

We’re back after a hiatus that included a trip to The Bahamas, where I was eaten by bugs and had to go on steroids, but that’s a topic for another show…

Anyway, longtime friend Andy Loth joins the program. Andy and I called the 2000 Ohio State-Purdue game together at Purdue. That’s the one that included a great drive at the end of the game for what looked like an Ohio State win, only to be disrupted when some guy named Drew Brees threw a 65-yard TD pass to Seth Morales.

But today we’re talking Rose Bowl, and what OSU needs to do to get the job done. I’m on the record, in print, as saying Ohio State will win 27-24, but after talking to Andy I’m convinced the Ducks will fail to score over 20 points. Mark it down!

NFL Picks

We had another win from Will Will, not to mention that Teddy, who grew sick of losing to Nora Peanut every week, finally found a strategy he liked — Teddy picked the team whose city came first in the alphabet this week, with the exception of Cincinnati-San Diego, because he refuses to pick the Bengals.

Im on the record, in print, as saying Ohio State will win 27-24, but after talking to Andy Im convinced the Ducks will fail to score over 20 points. Mark it down! NFL Picks Just a few weeks remain in the NFL picks and things are still up for grabs, although one guy has a decent enough lead. Three pickers had 13 games correct, but The Trashman came closest to the overall score of 34, with 44 Chjm70 had 45 and JMB 48.

First, Chris Galoski joins the show, and then Brian Inglis, both talking about the upcoming Ohio State-Michigan contest.

We go down memory lane and discuss our most memorable games, good and bad, and we delve into the future and what could come of the rivalry, first with Terrelle Pryor, should he win on the road this year, and then Brian and I look at Michigan’s situation going forward with Rich Rodriguez and/or another coach.

NFL Picks

The picks were up and down like a yo-yo this week, and now it’s because of my lack of counting skills.

Following an audit of me by Another CPA, it was discovered that I miscounted Will Will’s total, which set up a three-way tie between Will Will, GatorBuckeye and Grandpa, or so I thought.

Even the auditors couldn’t save me from myself, as I failed to cross out one of GatorBuckeye’s losses — I kept telling all of you about the Thursday night game and twice didn’t count a missed pick.

Therefore, GatorBuckeye has just 10 wins, and Will Will and Grandpa each have 11. Will Will was closer to the overall score of 16, so he indeed wins the week.

I am so ashamed about my miscalculations that a full week banishment to the Man Cave may be necessary, if only I didn’t have to go to work…

Both of us were especially impressed by Terrelle Pryor’s exploits in his home state, as well as Cameron Heyward.

Multiple times I had to stop myself from declaring the league all but won, but with Ricky Stanzi sidelined with a leg injury, it’d appear that the Buckeyes have the inside track to win their fifth consecutive, yes that’s five, Big Ten championship.

NFL Picks

Wow, as a fan it doesn’t get much better than to see your favorite college football team (Ohio State) win a tough road game, your favorite NFL squad (Bengals) pick up a big division win and then, to put a cherry on top, to see your favorite college basketball player (Evan Turner) lead his team (Ohio State) with a triple-double in a win in the opener!

All that covers up my lack of skill in making NFL picks.

Congratulations to Jeff, who correctly picked 10 games correctly, while coming within one point of the overall score of 38. Kara and Will Will also got 10 games right.

Jeff Rapp of Bucknuts.com joins me and we talk about everything from Evan Turner’s greatness — he’s AWESOME — to whether they can get the job done without a top-tier point guard.

Jeff teaches me how to pronounce the new center, Zsis what’s-his’name’s name, and says he’ll make an impact inside.

David Lighty is back after missing most of last year due to a broken foot, and William Buford scratched the surface of greatness with 11 ppg as a freshman.

It should be an exciting season with a possibility of even more great things to come — the top recruiting class in the nation will sign Wednesday, Nov. 11.

NFL Picks

Both the Saints and Bengals have had success this season, with the Saints remaining undefeated and the Bengals having a bye last week.

Crazed Wolverine stepped up to challenge the recently hot Brian I. and walked away with a tiebreaking victory by picking 55 total points in the Saints’ win over the Falcons.

Congrats to you, Crazed Wolverine. Glad to give you some solace following a tough Halloween vs. Illinois!

NFL Picks

What a week we had in the pick-em.

Not only did four pickers tie with 11 games correctly called, we then had another tie — The overall total MNF points scored of 44 was equidistant between Brian I. (41) and Miles (47).

After much pondering, and a loss of sleep, I’ve instituted the Price is Right rule. Should this occur, the picker who didn’t go over the actual number wins the week. The lawyers are still verifying if I can use this rule, but for now we’ll run with it.

So, sorry Miles, the Price is truly Wrong, as you went over. (There’s no truth to the rumor that I went with Brian I. because his point total of 41 was a direct reflection of the fact Keith Byars wore that number with both The Ohio State University and the Philadelphia Eagles, who were involved in Monday night’s contest.)

Brian I. wins.
