Offense Wins, But Not Really, In Ohio State Spring Game
Ohio State's offense won the "Jesse Owens Spring Game", 59-27, but the unique scoring system made it nearly impossible for any other result to take place. Only when the defense made a special play, a forced fumble, interception, or sack, would they gain noteworthy points in the scrimmage format....
Ohio State To Host the "Jesse Owens Spring Game" Tomorrow
On Saturday, Ohio State will host its annual Spring game at 1:30 p.m. in Ohio Stadium, but with a new name and format from previous years. Nationwide is sponsoring this year's event, and it is now entitled the "Jesse Owens Spring Game," a nice nod to a past Buckeye and American great. It is a...
Spring Forecasting: Who Will Start For Ohio State Against Akron?
When Ohio State opens its season against Akron on September 3rd, Terrelle Pryor will not be on the field for the first time in his entire collegiate career. In his place, at least one of four players will be taking snaps at quarterback, leaving Ohio State with both a first time signal-caller and a...
Statistics Update, Battle for Depth in Sounders Rotation
So we know the record of the team (4 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw including the two "reserve" matches). It isn't great, nor does it suck. Over a 30 game season it would mean a MUCH worse defense, a slightly better offense and 48 points on the table. But MLSpreseason isn't about records, is any...
Scrimmage against Danish Side Midtjylland a Test of Reserves
Wednesday's match will not be live-blogged. Not here, not at Sounders FC. The 60 Minute scrimmage though will be a time for the Reserves (really, there are reserves already?) to get time. This will also be the return of a few players from hamstring injuries. Today's double training session do give...
Sounders FC's Taylor Graham looks to a healthy 2010
Taylor Graham had a rough 2009. Plagued with injuries he mentioned to me at the event the Alliance Council hosted at Elysian Fields during the Supporters Summit that he did not want an off-season. He wanted things to start right then. That's where our discussion started today. Dave Clark: How...
Sounders FC Open Camp - One Major Absence
The big news was of course the Freddie Ljungberg's absence and the statements from Kasey Keller. Keller's words were powerful, and pointed. He's likely the only player that can place those kinds of demands on Ljungberg, and he's the only one that should. "I don’t know the full story....
USL Rotationals - Levesque and Le Toux
There were some around the Sounders message boards and blogs that thought I underrated the USL players. At the end of the year though, none were starters. But one fell from being a starter (though likely just due to the health of other players) and another worked his way up from token nod to the...
Rest of the Reserves - Graham, Scott, Sturgis, King
Now we start entering the realm of players with playing time. Of guys that may have value to other clubs in trade, and quite possibly seeing the guy that Philadelphia takes in the Expansion Draft later this month. This collection of players are in two sets. The first set are two USL Sounders, and...
Today's Reserve Game v Wolves 3-1 - Update
This may seem like an odd departure during the Playoffs, but if the team does it why shouldn't we. Coach Schmid found a way to get his Reserves and Subs more playing time by getting together with the Seattle Wolves. He did this even while his senior side is smarting from the nil-nil draw. Coach...
