Getting up at 4am sucked – but there was reward … the old “breakfast club” was back together again!
Back in the day, we did almost every Ohio State Men’s (home) basketball game each season for ESPNPlus. The majority of the Saturday games were noon tips, so we got accustomed to spending out Saturday mornings together.
Our last game was February 21, 2007.

Not everyone working was in the photo – but it’s hard to get us all in the same place at the same time.
In the fall of 2008, Big Ten Network debuted. Therefore, Ohio State basketball was never again the same.
We had one game on ESPNU in the 2008-09 season which the majority of us worked. However, this season, we have 2!!
It was just awesome to all be together again, working the same venue and the same team we had covered for so many years on a regular basis.
The game was of course a blow out as expected.
It was also terrifying for Ohio State. A few minutes into the game, Evan Turner’s hands slipped off the rim on a dunk and fell on his back. It was a horrible fall. The endless replays made us all wince.
Thankfully, he was able to walk off the court, however, we all knew it was a bad injury.
