Last week I had an opportunity to visit LRMR, the marketing company behind Lebron James. It is also the company forged on the friendship of childhood friends Lebron James, Rich Paul, Maverick Carter, and Randy Mims, hence the acronym LRMR. My visit had been in the works for quite some time and since they had just completed a move from downtown Cleveland to Akron, it was the perfect time to visit their new offices and meet the people that make LRMR and the Lebron James Family Foundation function. Why was I visiting LRMR in the first place? Well, back in September, I was fortunate enough to win a business pitch event/Entrepreneurship Summit at the University of Akron which was co-sponsored by LRMR (click here to read article). Along with winning $10k for my business, I was also blessed with a connection to LRMR which I’m sure will turn o ...

Its been a pretty eventful off-season for the Buckeyes. Not only did they wash the bad taste of sweater vests from their mouths through the marquee hiring of one of college football's elite coaches Urban Meyer, but Meyer also orchestrated a recruiting class ranking between 4th (Rivals) to 6th (ESPN) in the nation. Sanctions aside, things are looking pretty exciting for the Columbus faithful. Its never too early to read the tea leaves on next season's schedule in an attempt to surmise where OSU might shuffle out at. First off, I see 2012 as a semi-transitional year as Urban Meyer sets up his new offense and gets everyone on board with his program. Last year was a transitional season in the wrong direction under interim head coach Luke Fickell but the key difference this year is progress. As Urban fully puts his stamp on this team througho ...

Boone David Shoewalter was born November 12, 2002 after a very normal pregnancy and delivery. Hiding beneath this beautiful young man's appearance was a very rare genetic condition called Urea Cycle Disorder. With no visible symptoms or signs - he was taken home. After just a few hours in his new house, with his new family, Boone began having dangerous symptoms. A very scary five days at Children's Hospital would follow before his family would learn of his disorder. During this brief amount of time Boone would suffer through seizures, a stroke and ultimately lapsed into a temporary coma - the combination of which caused a traumatic brain injury. In the midst of the amazing, neverending assistance from the doctors and nurses of Cincinnati Children's Hospital the family was told that Boone's only lifeline would be through a liver transp ...

Click here to read our NEW Q&A with Urban's youngest daughter Gigi Just four short months ago Urban Meyer signed on to run the football program at The Ohio State University after eleven months away from the game, but his decision to come aboard wasn't made without deep thought and reservation. The health issues that ultimately saw him resign his position at the University of Florida two years ago were first and foremost on his mind, and the mind of his family. Coach Meyer's oldest daughter Nicki, a volleyball player at Georgia Tech, drew up a "contract" of sorts on a pink piece of paper, the same paper that he pulled out of his suit jacket during his introductory press conference at OSU, that the family then presented to Urban before they would give him their blessing to jump back into coaching with the Buckeyes. After a family meetin ...

Michael Redd had a season best 25 points against the Houston Rockets last night. Redd went on a furious scoring streak that showed glimpses of Redd's days as a Milwaukee Buck where he was an All-Star in 2004 and an Olympic Gold Medalist in 2008. Redd's minutes have been pretty inconsistent this season so his numbers are not what people are accustomed to seeing from Redd. Being out of basketball for so long Redd had to work his way into the rotation by getting in to basketball shape as well as defining a role with this team. Stats are often misguiding for those who are stat buffs. Seeing Redd run up and down the court injury free is just as exciting to see him swish three pointer's in opposing defender's faces. Injuries are the worst things in sports and it sucks to see players get hampered by injury. Redd's last few seasons have not be ...

One game does not define a player, but it can do a lot for a player's confidence. Evan Turner played a great game last night against the Boston Celtics. Turner sliced and diced, and lived in the paint throughout the night. Turner finished up with 26 points and nine rebounds. Turner played at the point guard position for most of his minutes, being that he is more comfortable at the One. Backcourt mate Jrue Holiday slid to the two guard while Turner took the reigns of the point guard position. It was good to see Turner have this type of game. At Ohio State University, Turner played the point guard position and faired well by winning the Naismith Player of the Year in 2010. It was evident that the Celtics were tired after coming off of two overtime games, but I don't want to take anything away from what Turner did on the court. B ...

It is no secret that one of Ohio State's weaknesses is the lack of production from the bench. Despite winning a slugfest against Northwestern the Bucks only fielded a measley one point off of the bench. I know points are not everything, but in order to beat the opposing team you have to outscore them. Many fans, experts, and etc have concerns in other areas. William Buford's inconsistency, Aaron's Craft lack of aggression, and Deshaun Thomas's defense have been mentioned more than a few times. I feel that those are areas that can be controlled by better bench play. It appears that Matta has a 8 man rotation with Evan Ravenel, Sam Thompson, and Shannon Scott coming off of the bench. It may be a little late in the season to tinker with lineups, but I don't think it would hurt to play Jordan Sibert, Laquinton Ross, J.D. Weatherspoon, or A ...

Hey Buckeyes, have you ever come across a person that makes you question your own “fandom” and dedication to Buckeye Nation? Well, I have and his name is Chris Hunt. If you’re a Twitter user then you probably know him by his handle @WVABuckeye. In the short time that I’ve known him (about 6 months) he has impressed me over and over with his dedication and drive for all things Buckeye. He was actually one of the first bloggers here at OurBuckeyeHub, long before we allowed anyone to sign up and create their own blog. If you’ve been following the #Hop2TheRafters campaign, then you already know about Chris. He, along with a handful of other dedicated fans, has been instrumental in raising awareness for the drive to retire Dennis Hopson’s #32 jersey from Ohio State. From helping to raise money for T-Shirts to starting the online petition, C ...

I am 4 weeks into student teaching 1st grade. Thus far, it has been the greatest learning experience of my life. When people ask me how student teaching is going, I give a relatively standard response: It's a lot of work, but I really enjoy it. To be totally honest, though, it is hard to explain what student teaching is actually like. But, an analogy has been growing in my mind over the past few weeks that sums up the emotional and physical ups and downs of working with first graders every day. So, the next time someone asks me how student teaching is going, I will have a slightly different response for them: Student teaching is just like being a freshman quarterback for The Ohio State Buckeyes. The Hype:-Freshman Quarterback: As soon a player commits to play quarterback at Ohio State, the hype begins. Before Terelle Pryor and Braxton Mi ...
