Buckeyes Earn BCS Date with Longhorns

admin — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 03:48:22 +0000

The official BCS pairings were announced earlier this evening and Ohio State is headed back to Arizona to meet the Texas Longhorns in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. This will mark the 3rd time in 4 years that the Buckeyes and Longhorns have met. The last head-to-head went to the Bucks on the road in Austin.

Tickets for the game go on sale Tuesday. Click here for more info!

The team was informed of its postseason destination at the team’s annual banquet. James and his teammate Malcolm Jenkins were both recipients of the Bill Willis Award, which goes to the team’s most valuable defensive player. I would agree 100% with that. James also received the Randy Gradishar award that goes to the team’s standout linebacker.

Beanie Wells was the Team’s MVP. He also picked up 3 more awards for the top offensive player, top player in the Michigan game, and top tailback.

You can listen to some of James’ and his teammates comments on their Fiesta Bowl selection on the official athletics site. Additionally, you can watch a video of James talking about the big game, courtesy of Rivals.

Being a back-to-back Player of the Year in the Big Ten Conference is a big deal, so big congrats to James.

Five In A Row Over Michigan

admin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:53:12 +0000

The Ohio State Buckeyes won their 5th straight match-up over the Michigan Wolverines, with a dominant 42-7 performance in the ‘Shoe today.

James had 11 tackles for the team, including several big hits, and was named the Chevrolet Player of the Game for his production on the field. Only allowing Michigan into the end zone once in 2 years, must have been gratifying for James and his fellow seniors.

It was nice to see a lot of players get into this game, including all of our QBs and RBs. I’m sure that means a great deal to these seniors.

I’m going to try and not laugh at the Big Ten Network website misspelling Laurinaitis. Maybe they forgot after posting the story on the women’s soccer “Lauren-itis” foursome?

Always spell All-Americans' names correctly

Anyway, here’s James talking about “The Game”:
