Ohio State’s main campus largest in the nation

The Ohio State University’s Columbus campus was ranked the largest single campus in the nation with 53,715 students according to an article in The Lantern. This is the third-consecutive year the university held the distinction.

Arizona State University at Tempe came in at no. 2 followed by the University of Florida at Gainesville at no. 3.

CBS reported yesterday that Tressel said Beanie Wells is doubtful for the game.

It’s not looking pretty in Buckeye nation.

BONUS: Fox Sports calls OSU the 7th most obnoxious fan base. Michigan gets spot no. 2.

Columbus opinions: Gays are going to burn

The sign pictured above left was in front of Havens Corners Church in Blacklick, Ohio, as reported by NBC4 Columbus.

Unbelievable. The economy is in the shitter, America’s children are dieing in Iraq, the collective world hates our country, we’re nearing the precipice of one of the most important elections in the history of the U.S. and this Columbus church is worried about gays. When I checked their Web site, it was down because of exceeded bandwidth.
