Bill Livingston of the Cleveland Plain Dealer says that Ohio State should play Cincinnati in basketball on a regular basis.
I'll go further than that and add Xavier to the rotation and think that Ohio State should be playing either team every year.
Ohio State offers the line for beating up the state schools in football of wanting to keep the money in state,so why not in basketball as well?
The answer-they won't be losing in football,where the chances are far far higher than the Buckeyes could lose to the Bearcats and Musketeers.
I am a OSU loyalist,but truth is truth...
ESPN takes a look back at the 1979 ring death of Willie Classen against Wilford Scypion that changed the way that promoters and state commissions handle on site issues.
It is hard to believe that before that fight,ambulances were not required to be on site for every event,but before the Scypion-Classen fight they weren't.
The article looks at the fight,the career of Classen and how things turned out for Wilford Scypion,who lost a challenge for the Middleweight title to Marvin Hagler a few years after the Classen fight.
St.Louis Cardinals slugger and former Houston Astro Lance Berkman says the commissioner of baseball-Bud Selig extorted the Astros into their move into the American League next season.
In a comment from us of just a few words-Lance,you are damn right he did.
Bill Simmons-"the Sports Guy" fires off one of the columns that he is known for with this "60 ways to annoy your fan base" look at the various bad moves of the Golden State Warriors over the last 30+ years.
I am sure that it will provide some chuckles at the dumbness involved.
Scott Bowden and his Kentucky Fried Wrestling has a hilarious Faux news release on the New Orleans Saints suspension of Sean Payton,who would be replaced by "The Midnight Rider".
The Midnight Rider was basically an angle that was used a few times by Dusty Rhodes in Florida and for Jim Crockett promotions that saw top babyface Dusty Rhodes be reluctantly suspended and then return under a mask as the Midnight Rider.
In another of the ways that wrestling often made no sense,companies would often tell the heels that screamed about the Rider being Rhodes,that if they could prove Rhodes was the Rider,Rhodes would have an even longer suspension.
However,what would stop Rhodes from coming back under a different mask???
Time for a few goodbyes.
Goodbye to longtime favorite Doug Furnas,who passed away at the age of 52 in his sleep.
Furnas had been battling Parkinson's Disease for years.
The extremely powerful Furnas,might have been the best all around athlete in the game in his prime.
Furnas spent time in all the major United State promotions,but achieved his most prominent success in the physical style of All Japan pro wrestling with "Dan Kroffat" also known as Phil LaFon.
Furnas held numerous records for powerlifting (Legitimate records,not the type of worked records mentioned on wrestling programs" and was a starting fullback at Tennessee for the Volunteers.
Another goodbye to the ace of the Boston Red Sox pitching rotation in the 1940's and 50's as Mel Parnell died at the age of 89 at his home in Louisiana.
Parnell won 123 games for Boston from 1947-1956 and completed 113 games with an ERA under four.
Parnell's best season with the Red Sox was his 25-7 season with 27 complete games in 1949.
Parnell ranks as perhaps the best lefthander in team history and could have ranked even higher before an arm injury after the 1953 season.
Parnell was never the same pitcher after that although he managed to throw a no-hitter in his final season-1956.
