The Silver Bullet: Father & Son Bias on the Buckeyes
 
Picture
We got some new digs!

Here at The Silver Bullet we are coming up on three full years of doing this, and we were ready for a fresh look. The old design platform not only limited us, but just wasn't very visually appealing. So we wanted to go with something simpler and cleaner. We hope you like the complete site makeover, including our new logo. We have some more smaller tweaks coming to the site in the coming months. Also, please realize many of the older posts may have a few formatting issues since they were not designed for this platform.

Obviously, we chose to launch the new site for the start of the 2010 season. The Buckeyes finally take the field tonight at 7:30 PM ET on the Big Ten Network against Marshall. All the talk about the Nike Pro Combat jerseys and Big Ten divisional alignment seems to have distracted us all from what could be the most talented team in the Tressel era. But it's now the most exciting season of the year, as the Buckeyes hit the gridiron tonight! O-H-I-O!

Buckeye Battle Cry 2010, a preview of OSU football published by Maple Street Press, includes an article by Drew and me, entitled "Want Eight," detailing the keys to another Buckeye championship appearance. The publication is 128 pages in length, full of recruiting information, analysis of the current team, and entertaining stories of years past. A big thanks to editor Jason Priestas over at 11W for giving us this opportunity.

Merry Christmas from Dave and Drew here at The Silver Bullet! We hope today is filled with family, food, football, and a little Christmas Vacation!

Today we have launched The Silver Bullet Shop. I am sure this news has changed all your lives, and will have the Columbus area public running for their computers. Seriously though, we hope you enjoy the designs and might want to support us in some way. Thanks guys!

Last year the weather didn't hold up it's end of the bargain, and made the Spring Game a cold and wet mess (though Buckeye Guy and I had a great time). Though there may be some wind, we can expect 80 degree weather tomorrow. So it should be an exciting "Showdown in the Shoe" filled with warmth, and we hope to see some of you around! 

Check us out after the Spring Game for our tradition of posting the winners and losers of the Spring Game, and also some thoughts on the NFL Draft. Go Bucks!

The Silver Bullet and Eleven Warriors were both featured by ABC 6 in Columbus. I would like to thank 11W for posting the video, and bringing it to my attention. Anyways, here is the clip:

One of the best things about being a Buckeye fan is the amount of information and blogs out there for us. I do not think there is another team in the country that has the amount of information and opinion hitting the web as Ohio State. With that said, I get very frustrated with having to check all the different websites all the time. Enter BuckeyeDome.com! What I love about Buckeye Dome is that it is a one-stop shop for blogs, information, videos, and forums.

They are trying to create a Buckeye community, and in the process they offer a place with the latest blog articles, OSU headlines, and videos. This is why here at The Silver Bullet we are so pround to announce a linkage with BuckeyeDome.com! We have already added Buckeye Dome to our linkage, and we display the widget below. They have already added us as one of their blogs, and you will be able to see our latest information over there. This is good news for both websites, so check both places out!

1) Just a reminder that tonight is the open practice at Ohio Stadium. The gates open at 6:30 pm, but practice does not begin until 8 pm. Admission is free, and participants are encouarged to park on the lots adjacent to the Schottenstein Center.

2) We will have a full write up of the practice tomorrow, so please check us out then!

3) Also, just another reminder about the Silver Bullet Editorial Contest. The more that enter this contest the better. We want to hear your voice! Click the link above for details...

 
 

Here at The Silver Bullet we believe in the opinion of the fan. We also realize that many of you are good writers, and have some great things to say. This has become evident thanks to the many OSU message boards out there, and websites like the Bleacher Report. So we would like to announce our first ever Silver Bullet Editorial Contest. 

Submissions are due by August 24th, and need to obviously focus on some aspect of Ohio State Football. The only thing we ask is that foul language is left out of these submissions. Besides that we are giving you the freedom to write whatever is on your heart.

We will announce the winner on August 29th, and their editorial will be posted on our website along with the websites that syndicate us. What better way to enter the 2008 season than by hearing the voice of the fans. So good luck in writing...
