Tribe signs Kobayashi!

Yes!!! Does this mean we get Nathan’s dogs at the Jake?

What…you mean there is another Kobayashi? Oh. Never mind.

Young Bucks, Shoot Well.

Pat Glasser has his eye on the Ohio State basketball team. Good thing one of us does…

Even though deer hunting season is now upon us I am referring to another group of Bucks. Last week the defending Big Ten champs and national runner’s up Ohio State men’s basketball team started their 2007-2008 season with 2 solid wins. Beating Wisconsin-Green Bay and Columbia at the Schottestein Center. Two things led them to their 2 wins; good defensive pressure and good outside shooting.

This year’s young Buckeyes will always be reminded of what they do not have in 3 first round draft picks 2 graduated seniors that were a big part of last year’s run to Atlanta. What people are forgetting is that this year’s point guard (senior) Jamar Butler played that same position 2 years ago when OSU won their first of 2 straight Big Ten titles. He backed off last year and played a 2 guard, while letting Mike Conley run the 1. This shows the type of player, leader and person Butler is. Butler not only can start the break and run he also knows when to shoot, which he does very well. 2 other players returning from last year are Othello Hunter and David Lighty both are in the starting line-up this year and playing really well. Lighty had the best all-around game their first night with Hunter adding defense around the basket like last year’s All-American and first pick Greg Oden did.
