The Ohio State basketball team is starting to show that it’s turning the corner and becoming one of the top basketball teams in the Big Ten. Yesterday, Je’Kel Foster scored 25 points and was 7 of 8 from 3-point land as OSU defeated Minnesota 67-53. Terence Dials added 15 points and 9 rebounds. Coach Thad Matta has this program on the right track a year earlier than expected. The 2006 class (Thad Five) could be the best ever for OSU. I’m starting to get excited about OSU basketball for the first time in years.
This Thursday, the Buckeyes travel to Michigan to play a nationally televised game on ESPN. This will be another opportunity for Coach Matta to win a road game, which are critical if OSU has any chance to win the Big Ten title.

I’ve been reading and watching the news this week for the Super Bowl. I can’t help but hope the Steelers get pounded. I walk around Cleveland and see Steelers sweatshirts, I hear Big Ben (Steelers QB) proclaiming Findlay, Ohio is a converted Pittsburgh town, I hear some “good hearted” Cleveland football fans say “You have to cheer for Pittsburgh, they helped us get back into the league” and I still say this. A TRUE Cleveland Browns fan, can never, has never and will never cheer for the hated Steelers. This is the team that has continually beaten us, fought with us, insulted us and most of all, it’s our rivalry.
I heard a disturbing comment by the Plain Dealer the last time Pittsburgh beat us. The writer proclaimed, it’s only a rivalry when both teams can win. I need to remind him OSU fans had to be patient.
The Steelers Joey Porter and his big mouth give me more reason to hate the Steelers and hope they lose. I do appreciate the Jerome Bettis sentiment, but losing in his home town would be just as satisfying. So, if you are a real Cleveland Browns fan then I suggest you take all that energy you posses for the Super Bowl and cheer for the Seattle Seahawks.
I can already hear the Pittsburgh fans next year at Cleveland Stadium screaming, “We made the Super Bowl”. I would love to sit back and sip my beer, look over, and say “Yes, but YOU LOST!!!!!”
Lebron James scored 30 points in three quarters as the Cleveland Cavaliers finished the game with James on the bench. Zydrunas Ilgauskas finished with 19 points, Donyell Marshall had 14 and Drew Gooden had 12 rebounds as Cleveland buried the Charlotte Bobcats 103 -91.
The Cavaliers are finally starting to realize that if this team would like to go deep into the playoffs, it will only occur by not standing around and watching one of the best NBA players perform. The supporting cast excluding Damon Jones (insert trade here) is finally starting to step up to the plate. Eric Snow, an average starting point guard, continues to excel on the defensive end, which overshadows his inability to make a jump shot. Gooden and Anderson Varejao are a strong duo on the boards and Marshall’s outside jumper is coming back to life. The return of Larry Hughes should put Cleveland in a very good position to put a strong hold on the fourth playoff spot.
The Ohio State Football program followed its “high mark” for grades by removing a scholarship offered to Josh Chichester of Lakota West High School. The rumor is that Josh is having academic difficulty. The Buckeyes, who are unable to comment on prospective recruits, did verify that Josh will not be attending Ohio State. It appears that Josh will be heading to Louisville to play football.
Ohio State is waiting patiently on decisions from Corey Peters, rivals.com number 3 prospect in the state of Kentucky, and City College of San Francisco linebacker Larry Grant. This JC stand out may be leaning toward Ohio State.
The Cleveland Indians are quietly working on another trade. This time it’s pitcher Jake Westbrook to Cincinnati for power hitting outfielder Austin Kearns. The trade was originally turned down the first time by previous Reds GM Dan O’Brien. The new management has taken a different opinion and opened talks with the Tribe. The Indians management continues to make risky moves and break up a very successful team from a year ago. I think that Mr. Dolan needs to understand that keeping a nucleus together is critical for success, even if it means spending money.
