A ‘Brief’ Near-Death Experience
I don’t know if this is a curse or a blessing, but I’m pretty certain I know how I’m going to die. I can hear the coroner’s pen scratching now: Cause of Death: Extermination by Underwear. I figure it would only be manslaughter. I don’t think my underwear have it in for me, but who…

Read MorePredicting the Big Ten Football Rankings with Ken Thompson
Just how dominant has Ohio State football been in Big Ten Conference play since 2000? The Buckeyes have won 11 league championships or an average of one title every other season.
