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 […]

It is with a shit eating grin in my face that I present you with one of the most entertaining blogs you will ever read on Benkoo.com. Tonight at dinner with my family (last time I will see my sister and Dad in 2008), they let me know while cleaning out the garage they found […]

It’s time for bed, but not before some interesting tidbits to come through in the last couple of days. – The Big Ten Network and Time Warner Cable have reached a distribution agreement. Last week talks heated up as both sides engaged in a back and forth posturing/propoganda battle. This is huge for the BTN […]

It all must snuck up on me, but watching the USA basketball team was a real treat. Being told it was on Sunday morning in the US (true except for on the West Coast), I thought I had a day until the big game. Having not seen any basketball this Olympics, it was great to […]

With the college football season less then a week away, its becoming an intruiging storyline of the Big Ten Network can reach distribution deals with the remaining cable companies who have yet to broker a deal with the upsttart sports network. 2 months back Comcast joined Dish, DirectTV, Verizon, ATT, and many others to carry […]

I have often blogged about the Big Ten’s network uphill struggle for distribution by the major cable companies. About a month ago, the upstart sport’s network cleared a major hurdle by getting distribution on Comcast. However the one state in the Big Ten region, that really missed out was Ohio. Unlike other states in the […]

Been busy moving this week so tv time has been very limited. However came across this ad below. Its kind of lame, but catchy. An effective dorky jingle, and the slogan of “Go Meat” is entertaining.

Earlier this week, I commented on how the Olympics seemed to be off to an ominous start with talks of pollution, doping, and attacks. However its been a surprisingly intriguing Olympics, despite NBC’s less than stellar prime time schedule. However tonight, those who tuned in to watch Michael Phelp’s go for 7th gold were in […]

As you may already know, I own Vudu and absolutely love it. However I have kept a close eye on the competition with products like Roku, Apple Tv, and now LG entering the market. The LG Netflix box looks to be front runner going forward with the large Netflix install base and its dual purpose […]

The two commercials below are bad, in poor taste, and are ridicuously over the top and taboo. But you know what, they are so freaking horrible, that they are effective. Let me rewind to several years ago when Go Daddy hands down was voted the worst Super Bowl commercial. I forgot the exact commercial, but […]

More and more over the past year and a half, I have found myself utilizing Yelp.com in researching various local businesses (restaurants, bars, barbers, etc). Think of it as a community user based Zagat’s. Or if you are familiar with IMDB.COM (you should be), a similar website but instead of ratings and reviews on movies, […]

At a workplace full of sports fan I brought up how I felt that this year’s Olympics lacked a lot of the buzz of past Olympics. There is a plethora reasons behind the lack of excitement (distance, protests, media restrictions, time zone incompatibility, timing-pushed back 2 weeks so now its contending with pre season football), […]
