Below is a link to my latest article on Bucknuts. It doesn't focus on the Buckeyes but rather stuff to keep an eye out for in the Big Ten and the country. http://bucknuts.com/news/articles/2008/8/29/koos-news-a-quick-look-at-the-nation In one of the segments, I outline why the west coast is a little lacking in college football fanaticism compared to the rest of the country.

I attribute to 4 factors. 1) Pac 10 Schools are in major cities with pro sports teams 2) The Expansive Region the Conference Cover- Hard to follow teams on the road 3) The Time Difference- Gameday at 7:30 am? 4) Local importance on media, music, entertainment, and technology Speaking of the Pac 10, I find this story from The Wiz of Odds fairly entertaining.Below is a picture of Arizona State's new practice facility. As you can see it has a pressurrized bubble roof that keeps temperature down in the desert heat..

Interesting design, an airbag/tent design. Kind of seems like a bad idea. Well only weeks after its completion, it turns out it is. A huge storm whipped through the area and this what's left of the facility. Below is the after picture.
