And because I do have Laurinaitis, I headed down to the ‘Shoe tonight to catch a glimpse of the 2008 Buckeyes. Lookin’ good. Lookin’ good.

Since this is the first and only open practice, it was quite obvious that the staff wasn’t going to show their hand to the public. Even after nixing the autograph session and prohibiting cameras. (I had mine, though ;)) [Dispatch recap, Official Photo Album]

The Olympics are going on, and I’m like a lot of the country has been for the past week: watching Michael Phelps rewrite the record books. So I haven’t been posting with the frequency I should have. I know, I know. Bad. But the Olympics are only every 4 years. They’ll be done this weekend and I’ll be all football, all the time!

Here’s a rundown on what I didn’t post in the past week:

Buckeyes are the preseason #2, according to the AP. Georgia, #1. USC, #3.

SportsCenter video previewing the Big Ten. High praise for OSU

JL on Walter Camp Watch List - Player of the Year Award

Playboy’s Top 50 Rankings. #2 again
