... Defense brings in 'da funk
Sep. 30, 2004During the off-season, the hiring of offensive coordinator Phil Earley and the spread offense he was bringing to Ohio was the storyline that received most of the media attention.

Where there's smoke -there's Fallfest?
Sep. 30, 2004I'm a non-smoker. I believe in anti-tobacco campaigns. I believe in taking down big tobacco's hold on my age group. How far can you walk on campus without seeing or smelling smoke?

'You know the guy' theory proves duplicates
Sep. 30, 2004By the time you make it into college, you've heard the people are like snowflakes line more than Courtney Love has heard I think you have a problem. Whether it's right or not, let's admit it -we've been pumped full of the concept that no two people are alike. Well sorry to disappoint, but I've finally proven that is not the case. And while my rationale is not exactly scientific, it's feasible enough that you can expect to see it on CBS in the very near future.
