"You only get an opportunity like that once," said senior offensive tackle Kirk Barton. "That's like [model] Brooke Burke wanting to go on a date with you, and you fall on your face and break your arm. You don't get that chance again. It's over and you look like an idiot."

Barton sure is full of them

Definition of a sweat box: temperatures in the mid-90s and high humidity; also, the conditions in which Ohio State will practice this week.
The Buckeyes would prefer something much cooler and drier for the first week of preseason camp, but "we have no choice," cornerback Malcolm Jenkins said.
What the players can't let the sweat do, he said, is alter their intensity with only three weeks to prepare for the opener.

OHIO STATE FOOTBALL
Few arrests at OSU, but Tressel not taking credit

Coach is happy with the recent trend, but says with 100 players, issues will always pop up.

COLUMBUS ? Ohio State has dramatically reduced its off-field problems in the past two years, but coach Jim Tressel isn't ready to say he's changed the culture surrounding the football program.
Eight players were either arrested or issued citations in 2004 and '05, but only one since then: tackle Alex Boone, who had a DUI last year.
