As I suspected, Maryland appears to be taking shots down the field. Chris Turner’s 26 yard pass is complete to the OSU 19 yard line. . . the beavers cannot afford to give up a TD right now, and it […]

Fighting doesn’t solve anything. As OSU starts in the shadow of their own endzone there is something much more exciting happening. Right in front of the press box two fans get into it in the stands — good. After a […]
