Ohio State @ MindSay

Lindsey and I went to the Michigan basketball game yesterday.  They lost to Ohio State, but it was a much closer game than I ever thought it would be.  That was good.  People were crazy since we were playing Ohio State, so it was an especially fun atmosphere.

I may not be a HUGE football fan, but I do like the Patriots.  Nice to see them beat the Jets.

 

 

Watching Ohio State and Florida right now.  Go Ohio State. :)

Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett has been transferred to a prison where he could spend the remainder of his sentence.

 

Clarett will be in a single cell at the Toledo Correctional Institution, but he will not be isolated from other inmates, said Andrea Dean, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

 

The close-security prison only has single cells, and Clarett will be able to exercise and eat with other inmates, she said Thursday.

 

A judge sentenced Clarett in September to at least 3½ years in prison on charges of aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon.

 

Authorities said he flashed a gun and robbed two people early Jan. 1 outside a Columbus bar. The concealed weapon charge was from his Aug. 9 arrest after a highway chase with police who found four loaded guns in his sport utility vehicle.

 

As a freshman tailback, Clarett led Ohio State to the national championship in 2002.

 

He then dropped out of Ohio State and lost a U.S. Supreme Court case challenging the NFL's requirement that players wait three years after high school before turning pro. The Denver Broncos made Clarett a surprise third-round pick in the NFL's 2005 draft, but cut him during the preseason.

 

Re-watching the Heisman awards, which they are replaying right now on ESPN.  I wonder if Troy Smith will win again? ;)

 

Troy Smith won the Heisman Award.  He was definitely the favorite, being top-ranked Ohio State's quarterback and all.

 

 

Nice article about him here.
