The Ohio State University has released the names of the 2008 Football Team Captians.  Todd Boeckman, Malcolm Jenkins, James Laurinaitis and Brian Robiskie were all elected to lead the team. This is the second year for Laurinaitis. He is only the 7th player in OSU history to be elected a two time captian. This shows how the team views his leadership both on and off the field.

Ohio State opens the 2008 season Saturday, August 30, hosting Youngstown State in a noon game at Ohio Stadium. That contest will be televised by the Big Ten Network.  Speaking of which:

 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Big Ten football fans who missed out on games last year because Time Warner Cable didn't carry the fledgling Big Ten Network can now relax.

The network and the cable company said late Monday that they've reached an agreement that will enable Time Warner to carry games this fall involving Ohio State and other conference members.

That means Buckeye fans in central Ohio, where Time Warner is the dominant cable provider, should be able to watch Ohio State's opener against Youngstown State on Saturday.

The network and Time Warner said in a joint statement that the cable company will carry the channel on expanded basic in the eight states where Big Ten schools operate.

The Big Ten Network is expected to broadcast three of the first five Buckeye games this season.

YIPPEE!!!!!
