The Cavaliers got a career night from Damon Jones and held on late for a 102-96 win against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Jones was 7 of 10 in three-pointers and dropped 29 points off the bench. LeBron James also had 29 points.
The Cavs had to endure yet another slow start as they fell behind 10-2 early. In the end, they were able to get a good road win as they will come home for two straight games starting Wednesday.
The Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team has started 3-0 and jumped to number 5 in the AP poll. The Bucks won the BCA Classic by running past Kent State in the second half. This team only returns one starter and is playing without heralded freshman Greg Oden.
As soon as Buckeye football is done, the town of Columbus should prepare themselves for more excitement on the hard court. Thad Matta and his team are going to make some noise this year.

Well it’s finally here. They both did what everyone was hoping they’d do by running the table.
Go undefeated to set up arguably the greatest game in the history of the greatest rivalry in college football. Ohio State (11-0), ranked #1 in all the polls, versus 11-0 Michigan, ranked #2 in all the polls. Playing for an outright Big Ten championship and for the right to play in Glendale, Arizona on January 8th, 2007 for the BCS National Championship! And it’s at “The Shoe” in Columbus, Ohio………..WOW!
I don’t know about you but it doesn’t get much better than this. Well unless of course it’s a close game and one team wins by one point on a last second field goal and the Buckeyes and Wolverines end up #1 & #2 in the BCS Standings and they’d play again on January 8th!
That would be NIRVANA! Beating Michigan twice in the same year, once for the Big Ten title and then again for the national title. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here. Lets just enjoy this week. It’s OHIO STATE/MICHIGAN Week!
Please send me every Michigan joke you have. Remind me time and time again that
Jim Tressel is 4-1 versus the Wolverines. Play Hang On Sloopy over and over in the car, at home, at the office or wherever. Tell the story of why Woody Hayes went for 2 points near the end of an Ohio State blowout of Michigan, because as Woody would say, “I couldn’t go for 3″! Remember that Troy Smith has accounted for over 700 yards of total offense with 5 touchdowns and no turnovers in 2 games against that team from up north. Oh yeah, he’s also 2-0 against Michigan. Remind me that Lloyd Carr is still the coach at Michigan.
Dot every “i” you write this week in scarlet ink. Get your “Muck Fichigan” and ” Ann Arbor is a Whore” T-shirts out and wear them proudly this week. Go grab your cd of “TBDBITL” and crank it in your car stereo and roll down the windows so everyone can hear it and wave at you. Just walk around wherever you are and yell out “OH” and wait for the “IO” in return.
Enjoy it, cherish it, be a part of it, in anyway you can, because it may never happen again.
It’s “F-ING” Ohio State/Michigan Week for all the marbles baby.
Let the fun begin! OH…….IO……OH……IO…….OH….IO!
