Football: Ohio draws RB from Sunshine State

Ohio has received another oral commitment from a Florida high-school football player.
In their first meet of the season, the Bobcat wrestlers hit the mats in the Hokie Open at Virginia Tech on Sunday.
If the game of football were won exclusively in the first and last five minutes, Trimble High School could have walked away with a win Saturday night in the Division VI regional quarterfinal. But the Tomcats had no such luck against a tough Symmes Valley squad that was able to put together a more complete effort en route to a 28-19 win.
Eight days ago, Kent State ruined the Bobcats' bout for a perfect run through the Mid-American Conference and handed them their only conference loss of the season.
Members of the Ohio wrestling team are taking a step back in time this weekend, rewinding to their childhoods by re-enacting a few typical family vacations.
At this point last year, Miami ended Ohio’s season by knocking it out of the 2010 Mid-American Conference Tournament. In the 2011 event, tournament host Ohio will have the chance to return the favor.
With only two Mid-American Conference wins, Kent State is one of few teams that can equal their conference win total in sets and still not win a match.
It’s just another game. That’s the mentality that coach Ryan Adams and his Athens Bulldogs are taking in tonight’s playoff matchup against the Jackson Ironmen.
Athletically speaking, let’s face it: Ohio State is the big kid on the block when it comes to the Buckeye state (just look at the nickname). Besides mascots, there aren’t too many chances to see an Ohio team go in as the favorite against Big Brother 75 miles to the northwest.
Ohio and Temple found themselves in a game of Monopoly in a showdown fit for its national televison audience. The Bobcats endured to control the most real estate, and the Owls did not pass ‘GO’ nor collected win number six.
The presence of ESPN in Athens was enough to get more Ohio football fans at Peden Stadium than usual, but it was not enough to keep them from committing their most infamous maneuver.
Home is usually where people feel most comfortable, but being comfortable in old ways is not always the best.
For the better part of four quarters, Temple backup quarterback Chris Coyer burned the Bobcats with his legs; but when the time came to lead a game-winning drive with his arm, he could not deliver.
Although Homecoming Weekend is long gone for most Bobcats, the return trip has just begun for 2002 graduate Brad Shaffer.
After a slow start, the Bobcats found their groove and cruised to their first exhibition victory with a 87-52 win against Ohio Valley University.

On a team that’s dealt with more than its fair share of injuries during the first six weeks of the season, one in particular took the roar out of Ohio.
Peden Stadium opened in 1929, and in the 82 years since, worldwide broadcasting giant ESPN had not sent a crew from its main station to Athens.
The term ‘blackout’ is usually not one that bar owners like to hear, but when referencing tonight’s game against Temple, the term might mean a boost in business.
“It’s football night on ESPN 2, 5 and 6!”
