The Ohio Stadium renovation is nearly completed: Camera 1 Camera 2 GO BUCKS! Three months until September 8 – college football season can’t come too quickly.

The Ohio State University has hired a new strength and conditioning coach. Obviously, we fans were saddened to hear of Coach Kennedy’s departure. We can only hope that Coach Johnson is going to do as good of a job.

I was amazed this afternoon. I was sitting at my computer at work with my radio tuned to NPR to listen to All Things Considered as I normally do. All week they’ve been broadcasting bits of commencement addresses from students at various colleges throughout the US. Today’s clip came from the graduation address from Taylor…
