The Buckeye Blog<\/a>. Game 1 was played against Ohio Wesleyan on October 7th, 1922, the same day as Joe Paterno’s 25th-year high school reunion. <\/p>\n– Today’s a 3:30pm kickoff, and I like those….based entirely on results. The Buckeyes in 2006 always seemed to have trouble with Noon starts, and it often took them way too long to get motoring. I think it was too early in the day, and our players weren’t yet awake. Just a theory. That trend has continued this year, as the Bucks have not started any game on all four cylinders, and we’ve had all three games with early kickoffs (I know, Washington kicked off at 330, but it was west coast time, so it felt like 1230 to the boys in the unis). Let’s see if my theory is just a theory, or if there’s something to it…..<\/p>\n
– Beanie Wells will obviously get more carries now, but I was expecting to see him dominate today anyway. Northwestern has a below-average run defense, and Wells is playing against his old Akron rival, Tyrell Sutton. Wells seems to bring his A game in the bigger contests, and for him…this is that day.<\/p>\n
– In baseball news, today the Cleveland Indians could clinch the American League Central Division. With a win over Oakland, they clinch at least a tie…and if Detroit loses to KC, it’s official. Both games start at 7pm. I kinda hope the Tribe win takes about 10 minutes longer than the Detroit loss, so the sold-out house at the Jake can go nuts with the final out.<\/p>\n
Also, the Indians go into today with the best record in baseball. No ties. they’re in sole possession of that baby at 91-62. The Red Sox and the Angels are each a half-game back, at 91-63. So what the hell, let’s do this….the Magic Number to get the #1 seed is 9 (for both Boston and L.A.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
