Here are some more information for Ohio State:
George Steinbrenner is famously known the world over as the owner of the New York Yankees but very few people realize that in the 1950s George Steinbrenner actually served as an assistant coach under legendary Buckeye icon Woody Hayes at Ohio State University (OSU for short). In fact, George was even part of the 1954 Ohio State national championship team that went undefeated.
The New York Yankees organization that Steinbrenner has owned for decades has been valued by Forbes magazine as a $1.5 billion organization which makes it one of the five most valuable sports teams in the world across all sports. Before making his fortune in the family shipping business he lived a somewhat pedestrian life that included college, a stint in the Air Force, marriage, and a brief spell as an assistant football coach at Ohio State. In some regards George Steinbrenner has had an almost Forest Gump type life that has involved playing on his college football team, joining the armed forces, falling in love, making a fortune, numerous chance encounters with historically iconic figures, and a variety of unique business ventures.
Born in Rocky River, Ohio on the northern edge of the state the area that is now an affluent suburb of Cleveland is the area where George grew up before attending a military school in northern Indiana. After graduating from Williams College in Massachusetts in 1952 and spending a couple of years in the Air Force based in Columbus, Ohio at Lockbourne Air Force Base the Ohio native decided to stay in the area following his honorable discharge in 1954. Over the next two years Steinbrenner earned a master's degree in physical education from nearby Ohio State University.
While doing graduate work at Ohio State George Steinbrenner signed on to help the football team as a graduate assistant where he happened to coach under legendary college football coach Woody Hayes. During the one season that George was with the Buckeyes the team went undefeated with a perfect 10-0 record that included a 20-7 Rose Bowl victory over the University of Southern California (USC) on January 1, 1955.
By capping off a perfect season with a sound Rose Bowl victory Woody Hayes, George Steinbrenner, and the rest of the Ohio State Buckeyes edged out number two ranked UCLA to capture the second football national championship for the Buckeyes ever. In addition to the seven World Series victories (1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009) that George Steinbrenner has been a part of as an owner of the New York Yankees since January 3, 1973 the man who was born back on July 4, 1930 can also claim a college football national championship from the 1954 season with iconic College Football Hall of Fame coach Woody Hayes.
Kim, the author of this article, does not know if George ever owned a gray OSU staff golf bag but given his seemingly apparent appreciation for a variety of sports as indicated by running track in college, coaching football, and starting a professional basketball franchise in the 1960s it stands to reason that George has tried his hand at golf a time or two.

Ncaab: Illinois At Ohio State Odds - 9:00Pm Est On Espn
Ohio State will try and clinch at least a share of the Big Ten title on Tuesday night at 9:00pm EST as they host Illinois in a game that can be seen on ESPN. The Buckeyes would also clinch the top seed for next week's Big 10 Tournament with a win in college basketball betting odds.

Ohio State has won 12 of their last 13 and Turner is averaging 21.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.1 steals per game. Turner will probably win the Big 10 player of the year award and he might just win national player of the year as well. "I wanted to win a Big Ten title, try to get a national championship and try to be one of the best to ever come out of here," Turner said. "If I never won a Big Ten title or anything like that, that would nag at me for the rest of my life."

The Illini could really use this win on Tuesday to improve their March Madness hopes but winning at Ohio State has not been easy for any team. And the Illini have already been blown out by the Buckeyes this season, losing 72-53 at home. Jon Diebler scored 18 points, David Lighty added 17 and Turner had 16 points in that win. "We couldn't make nothing," said Illinois point guard Demetri McCamey, "They've got the best starting five in the conference, I believe." Illinois has been a good team lately on the road.

The Fighting Illini are 5-0 vs. the college basketball odds in their last 5 road games. They have also been a good underdog as they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. The problem for Illinois is that they are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings at Ohio State. As well as Ohio State is playing, they have not been good laying points at home of late. The Buckeyes are 0-4 in college basketball betting odds for their last 4 games as a home favorite.

What will all the Ohio State haters say after the Buckeyes beat LSU for the championship?
There are a lot of OSU haters out there, and they always find a way to twist Ohio States success into something else. I am curious if Ohio State wins, will they just say that they lucked into the title game. Or will they actually give the team its due and congratulate them on beating a very good SEC team?
That they finally beat a real team
