Probation officer
charged with
sexual battery
Staff Report

POMEROY — Meigs
County Common Pleas
Court Probation Ofﬁcer
Larry Tucker made an
initial appearance in
Meigs County Court on
Wednesday on a single
felony count of sexual
battery.
Tucker was arrested
on Wednesday afternoon on the charge
and was released on a
recognizance bond by
Judge Steve Story.
According to the
Ohio Revised Code,
sexual battery is
deﬁned as engaging in
sexual conduct with
another, not the spouse
of the offender when
the offender is in a person of authority, when
the victim is in the custody of law or a patient
in a hospital and the
offender has supervisory or disciplinary
authority over the
other person, among
other situations.
The charge is a felony
of the third-degree.

The allegation
against Tucker is
alleged to have
occurred while performing his job duties
with the village of Middleport, stated Prosecutor James K. Stanley.
Tucker is employed as a
corrections ofﬁcer with
the Middleport Jail,
according to previous
Sentinel reports.
A message left for
the Middleport Mayor
was not returned by
Sentinel deadline on
Wednesday.
The Meigs County
Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce represented the county at
the initial hearing but
has requested a special
prosecutor through the
Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce to handle the
case moving forward,
stated Stanley.
A hearing in County
Court is scheduled for
Monday at 10:30 a.m.
Tucker was represented
by attorney Charles
Knight at the initial
appearance.

complaint. .

MIDDLEPORT —
WATCO workers spoke
to the village of Middleport regarding their work
at Hobson Yard Monday
evening.
Rob Oliva and Brad
Davenport explained
to the Middleport

council and community
members the WATCO
program and their current involvement within
the village. WATCO is
a transloading facility
that transports freight
and product from rail to
truck. The program has
been in operation for
35 years and maintains
the original contract on

which they founded their
business. The contract
states that a client can
choose to end their time
working with WATCO
at any point the client
is unsatisﬁed. WATCO
transloads several materials including scrap metal,
car parts, crude oil, and
ﬂy ash.
WATCO has hired four
drivers, including Davenport, to transport ﬂy ash
from Mountaineer Power
Plant to the rail line. Fly

ash is a byproduct from
the burning of pulverized coal in power plants
and is used when making concrete. WATCO
has been in touch with
Mayor Sandy Iannrelli
and Perry Varnadoe the

GALLIPOLIS — Representatives from the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce stopped to speak with
leaders in the law enforcement,
social work, health care and behavioral health care ﬁelds at Holzer
Medical Center recently to discuss
the needs and trends of ongoing
efforts to combat the opioid addiction epidemic in southeast Ohio.
Representatives were present
from Lawrence, Jackson, Meigs
and Gallia Counties.

Attorney General’s Ofﬁce Community Outreach Specialist Carol
Baden led the discussion as conversation ﬂowed between the various members of the room.
“I used to be a nurse and that’s
how I kind of came into this
space,” said Baden. “So I see a lot
of the medical side of addiction.
With traveling through my counties, I see how this has just impacted everyone on every level. We’ve
conferences with faith leaders and
the medical community.”
Baden said one of her chief
concerns with the opioid epidemic

was to drop the backsliding of
addicts once taken off a drug in
both the medical and judicial systems. She encouraged programs
and work with probation departments to aid with area businesses
in attempting to ﬁnd reformed
addicts and convicts jobs in the
hopes it would prevent them from
lapsing again. She said she realized the hesitation shown by business owners, however, getting an
addict a job and occupied was part
of breaking the addiction cycle.

Claims process outlined in Western Union settlement
CHARLESTON —
West Virginia Attorney
General Patrick Morrisey outlined the claims
process for those eligible
to receive compensation
from a $586 million forfeiture by Western Union
Company.
The forfeiture, part of
a settlement announced
in January, resolved a
multistate investigation
into consumer usage of
the wire transfer service
to send money in a wide
variety of third-party
scams.
Approximately 2,300
consumers living in West
Virginia are eligible for

refunds totaling $2.9
million. Many of those
consumers could soon
receive claim forms in the
mail.
“This is a tremendous
victory in protecting
consumers from fraud,”
Morrisey said. “Through
the settlement, consumers will be able to reclaim
their hard-earned dollars that were unlawfully
taken by scammers. I urge
those affected to watch
their mailboxes and call
our ofﬁce with any questions.”

The settlement administrator will mail forms in

Western Union reached
the settlement with
West Virginia, 49 other
states and the District of
Columbia. It required the
company to develop and
implement a comprehensive anti-fraud program
designed to help detect
and prevent incidents
where consumers, who
have been the victims of
fraud, use Western Union

to wire money to scam
artists.
Such schemes involve

THEIR VIEW

Here’s what ‘not’
to talk about this
Thanksgiving
WASHINGTON — We are at that interesting
time of year when we gather together at Thanksgiving feasts with friends and family members
we may not see all that often.
Around many tables there is a great probability that turkey legs will be thrown, gravy bowls
overturned, monkey bread ﬂung in all directions
and pie smeared on the walls.
Here are some well-meant suggestions on what not to discuss
Ann
this year so that we can peacefully
McFeatters celebrate this lovely holiday.
Contributing
Don’t mention Donald Trump’s
columnist
astonishing assertion he believes
Vladimir Putin’s impassioned
denial that Russia meddled in our 2016 U.S.
election. Mum on Trump’s dismissal of America’s intelligence leaders who agreed 100 percent
on Russian interference as “political hacks.”
Don’t ﬁxate on Attorney General Jeff Session’s
astonishing lack of recall about eight people he
worked with during Trump’s campaign when
the subject was Russia or his bafﬂement on how
many meetings he had with Russians. Don’t
mention it’s “breaking news” when our top law
enforcement ofﬁcial vows under oath he always
tells the truth except when he can’t remember
it.
Say nothing about the Department of Justice’s
failure to do anything to ensure there will be no
more Russian meddling in U.S. elections. Nor
has any administration ofﬁcial taken this on.
Skip Trump’s decision to try to throw the full
weight of the Justice Department at Hillary
Clinton about such things as uranium deals she
had nothing to do with. (Somebody will point
out that only in banana republics do the powerful pursue political opponents with pointless
vendettas.)
It might be advisable to avoid the topic of
sexual harassment, assault and misogyny in
Hollywood, the pulpit, the White House, sports,
Congress, the media and anywhere else men and
women gather or work together.
Unless you and your guests are very rich ($1
million a year and above), do not parse the various tax plans in Congress, especially if you live
in a state where taxes are high, mortgages are
through the roof and children are plentiful. Seriously. We’re talking indigestion here.
And speaking of throwing up, don’t — do not
— talk about a grown assistant district attorney
fondling a 14-year-old child. (The gun-toting
deviant who spouts religious hypocrisy, was
twice removed as a judge for breaking the law
and still wants to be in the Senate.)
You may discuss medical milestones (new
babies, hip replacements and removal of tonsils
are particularly good), but do not talk about
how they were or were not paid for or insurance
of any sort.
By all means, marvel at the new patch of highway on the way to grandma’s house or moan
about how bad trafﬁc has gotten. But stay away
from the word “infrastructure.” Everyone will
just start pouring way too much wine.
If you already have exhausted the topic of the
weather (oops, no climate change monologues
and presumably you started the meal with
prayers for struggling, forgotten, electricity-less
Puerto Rico) and college football (avoid the
NFL) and you really, absolutely, must talk politics, here is a list of suggestions.
Trump’s remarkable hairstyle with speculation
on how it’s kept that way. (The last piece of pie
goes to the person with the best color description.)
Trump’s remarkable architectured wardrobe.
Fun party game: How many rolls of tape does he
use to keep that tie in place.) (Answer: Only the
Secret Service knows. And they’re not telling.
Yet.)
Isn’t it nice that we never hear about the
youngest Trump son?
How many closets do Melania’s clothes ﬁll
and does she ever donate to Goodwill? Also,
will the clear tensions between daughter Ivanka
and third-wife Melania surface at the Trumps’
Thanksgiving table?
What does Vice President Mike Pence do
besides ﬂatter the president, fund-raise, stalk
out of NFL games when he sees kneelers
(please, only in church) and praise the president? (Pence almost ruined Indiana but has
become so vapid he scoots from one day to
another without notice; a safe if dull topic.)
If worse comes to the worst, let Drunk Uncle
ramble on about his new scheme to make money
and encourage the twins to recite their parts
from the ﬁrst-grade play. Of course there’s
always religion.
Or you could just keep your mouth full, with
gratitude for your blessings and thankfulness
that Thanksgiving comes but once a year.

The Great American Smokeout
As the holidays draw
ever closer, one special
event coming this month
is the Great American
Smokeout. This is a
national effort to promote the quitting of
smoking. Tobacco use
takes a harsh toll on both
one’s body and bank
account. In fact, tobacco
is the number one preventable cause of death
in our country.

Husted to speak at Republican Century dinner
Staff Report

BIDWELL — The Gallia Republican Century
Club will be hosting Ohio
Secretary of State and
gubernatorial candidate
Jon Husted Thursday at
6 p.m. at the Green Valley Gathering Place as its
keynote speaker.
The Gallia Republican
Century Club is a political action committee that
supports Republican
candidates in county and
statewide races and support Republican ideas.
Husted is considering
making a bid for Ohio
Governor in 2018. Ohio
Attorney General Mike
DeWine, US Representative Jim Renacci and Lt.
Gov. Mary Taylor have
already declared their
intent to run for the
ofﬁce.
Last year, Husted spoke
at the Meigs County Lincoln Day Dinner. Husted
has served as the 53rd
secretary of state and is
in his sixth year doing so.
According to Moore, he
was ﬁrst elected in 2010

and re-elected in 2014,
winning 86 of 88 counties
in the state.
Husted has previously
served as the House
Speaker in Ohio’s House
of Representatives and
also served four terms
as a representative.
Husted has been given
endorsements by the
NRA, Buckeye Firearms
Association, Ohioans
for Concealed Carry
and more, according to
information provided by
Moore.
The secretary was
raised in Montpelier and
attended the University of
Dayton to earn both his
bachelor’s and master’s
degrees. He shares three
children with his wife
Tina.
Husted’s last visit to
Gallia County was in
April as he spoke at the
Gallia County Republican
Party at its Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner.
“We’ve won and now
we’ve got to lead. We’ve
got the president, the
Senate and the House of

Representatives,” said
Husted of the federal
government at the previous event. “If Republicans
don’t lead over the next
two years, you know
what’s going to happen.
In the next four years,
(voters) will send the
opposite message. We’ve
got to deliver and walk
the talk.”
Husted said he was
fulﬁlling this through
such endeavors as making
improvements in the business services division of
his ofﬁce.
“You want to form a
business in Ohio, you
do it in my ofﬁce,” said
Husted. “When I got
there, I walked in the
ﬁrst day and said explain
to me how this happens.
‘You have to ﬁll out all
these forms and it takes
four days to happen and
costs $125.’ I said why
don’t we automate this
and make this easier.
So, we did. Since doing
that, we set a record
for the number of new
business starts in Ohio

every year. We’re up 30
percent because we automated and we don’t need
as many people. While
state spending at the
time went up 17 percent,
we cut spending by 16
percent. Thirty-three percent fewer people work
for me now.”
Husted would go on

to stress the importance
of providing a future
for America’s youth. He
shared his university
football experiences as a
means of lessons about
working to strive for a
better future. Husted
shared that he was raised
an adopted child to “hardworking” parents and

that many youth in Ohio
felt the same opportunity
to get ahead by working
hard was disappearing,
that the American Dream
may no longer be within
reach.

attending should contact
Molly Plymale at 740-4461214.

Bama to 1 in playoff
rankings, then
Clemson, Miami, OU
By Ralph D. Russo
The Associated Press

Alabama and Clemson are back on top of the
College Football Playoff rankings, the ninth time
over the last three seasons that the Crimson Tide
and Tigers have held the ﬁrst two spots in some
order.
Alabama was the selection committee’s new No.
1 on Tuesday night, with Clemson up two spots to
No. 2. Miami and Oklahoma followed, joining the
top four for the ﬁrst time this season. Wisconsin
was ﬁfth and Auburn was up to sixth.
Alabama and Clemson have met in the last two
national championship games, with each winning
one. If they win out, there is good chance they
could enter the postseason positioned to make it
three straight title game matchups.
The Crimson Tide had been second behind
Georgia in the ﬁrst two selection committee rankings, but the Bulldogs and previously No. 3 Notre
Dame were beaten last weekend, opening up the
top for changes.
Unbeaten Miami jumped from seventh to third
and along with Clemson gave the Atlantic Coast
Conference two top-four teams for the ﬁrst time in
the four-year College Football Playoff era.
Oklahoma moved up one spot.
Unbeaten Wisconsin moved up from eighth and
is the highest-ranked Big Ten team. Auburn is the
highest-ranked team with two losses.
Georgia is seventh and Notre Dame is eighth.
Ohio State is back in the top 10 after an impressive victory against Michigan State, and Penn
State is 10th. Southern California at 11th is the
highest-ranked Pac-12 team.
UCF climbed to No. 15, making the undefeated
Knights the highest-ranked team from a Group of
Five conference. The highest-ranked conference
champion from outside the Power Five is guaranteed a spot in the New Year’s Six bowls.
Who’s in control?
There were complaints from Miami and Oklahoma fans about being stuck behind Clemson.
Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt, the athletic
director at Texas Tech, said Clemson’s six victories against teams with winning records gave the
Tigers the nod.
He added that the impact of Clemson’s loss
to Syracuse (4-6) has been mitigated by injuries
hampering Tigers quarterback Kelly Bryant in
that game. Bryant came into the game with a sore
ankle that hobbled him and missed the second half
with a concussion.
“That continues to be a factor in our discussions
of Clemson,” Hocutt said.

Ohio zapped by Zips, 37-34

AKRON, Ohio — The
Bobcats lost more than
just the game Tuesday.
The Ohio football team
is no longer has a clear
path to the Mid-American
Conference East Division title, as host Akron
moved in front of the
Bobcats with a 37-34
victory at InfoCision
Stadium-Summa Field.
The game couldn’t
have started much better for Ohio (8-3, 4-2
MAC), forcing the Zips
(6-5, 4-2) a three-and-out
and then scoring on its
second offensive play, as
sophomore quarterback
Nathan Rourke raced 68
yards for the touchdown.
Louie Zervos made his
ﬁrst for four successful
extra-point kicks, giving
the guests a 7-0 lead just
2:06 into play.
Akron covered 75 yards
in 15 plays on the ensuing
drive, but was stopped
two yards shy of paydirt
and settled for a 19-yard
Nick Gasser ﬁeld goal
with 5:45 left in the opening quarter.
After a 25-yard pass
from Rourke to Papi
White on the ﬁrst play
of the Bobcats’ next possession, Akron’s Shawn
Featherstone intercepted
a pass on the second play
and returned it 45 yards
to the Ohio 26.
Just four plays later
the Zips moved into a
10-7 lead, as Kato Nelson
tossed a 16-yard scoring
pass to A.J. Coney, and
Gasser made his ﬁrst of

Michigan on Oct. 7 in Athens, Ohio.

four point-after kicks.
Akron’s lead was shortlived, however, as the
Bobcats needed six plays
to answer the touchdown.
On a ﬁrst-and-goal from
the three, Rourke and
senior wide receiver
Brendan Cope swapped
roles, as Cope tossed a
touchdown pass to the
OU signal caller.
The Bobcats forced
Akron into a three-andout and, on the nextto-last play of the ﬁrst
quarter, OU sophomore
Dylan Wears blocked the
punt, giving Ohio the ball
on UA 5.

On the opening play of
the second quarter, Bobcats senior Dorian Brown
extended the Ohio lead
to 21-10 with a ﬁve-yard
touchdown run.
Following a three-andout punt by each team,
Akron trimmed its deﬁcit
to 21-17, as Nelson found
Kwadarrius Smith for a
71 yard touchdown pass
on the ﬁrst play of the
Zips’ drive.
The ensuing kickoff
was fumbled by the Green
and White, with Featherstone recovering for
the hosts on the OU 23.
Akron regained the lead

on the very next play, as
Nelson found Austin Wolf
for a touchdown pass
with 10:56 left in the ﬁrst
half.
Ohio tied the game at
24 with 6:14 remaining in
the half, as Zervos capped
off an 11-play, 74-yard
drive with a 19-yard ﬁeld
goal.
Akron reestablished its
lead just over a minute
later, with Nelson and
Smith connected for a
54-yard scoring pass. The

“He won’t tell us that,

“I’m pretty sure this one

Many of the Steelers
are looking forward to
seeing LeBeau again —
personally.
“He’s not the type of

“In the midst of their

“I think both teams

It’s going to really be a
great challenge for us,
and we’re looking forward to it.”

Pittsburgh for the ﬁrst

LeBeau returns with Titans
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
(AP) — Dick LeBeau is
more than happy to talk
about the challenge of
defending Ben Roethlisberger and the highpowered Steelers.
The 80-year-old coaching legend will even joke
about never having been
to the visitors’ locker
room at Heinz Field
before.
The emotions of
returning to Pittsburgh
to coach against the
Steelers (7-2) where he
spent 16 seasons over
two stints?
Nope.

think at all about anything except the Titans

No. 24 WVU scoreless in 2nd half of last 2 games
MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (AP) — David Sills
would prefer to focus on
the fun part of West Virginia’s offense.
The crazy catches. The
quick-scoring drives. Piles
of yards and points — all
in the ﬁrst half of West
Virginia’s last two games.
The second half:
Silence.
No. 24 West Virginia
has been held scoreless
after halftime in back-toback contests, something
that hasn’t happened
since the Mountaineers
joined the Big 12 in 2012.

The odd part? Both

The late-game offensive
doldrums will need to
disappear Saturday in
its home ﬁnale against
Texas (5-5, 4-3 Big 12) if
West Virginia (7-3, 5-2)
is going to keep its faint
hopes alive for a spot in
the conference championship game. “I think
a lot people around the
country know when our
offense is hot, we’re one
of the best in the country,” Sills said. That’s one
thing, but we have to do
it for four quarters. Texas

is a very good team and
it’s going to be a fourquarter game with them.”
West Virginia amassed
338 yards of offense in
the ﬁrst half at Kansas

at halftime, then was
limited to 44 yards in
the fourth quarter of the

Earnhardt long ago outgrew his father’s shadow
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — He was so shy,
so skinny, not yet somebody.
It was around 1997
and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
was testing at Talladega
Superspeedway, wearing an all-white ﬁresuit.
Bobby Labonte was
the star at the Alabama
test that day, and all the
media crammed into Talladega’s wood-paneled
press room to talk to
Labonte.
I’m not sure anyone
talked to the Earnhardt
kid that day. Why would
they? Nobody had any
idea what he was about to
become.
In that moment at Talladega, he was just the
son of NASCAR’s greatest
hero, a rich kid getting
a chance to shake down
a car because of his last
name. Earnhardt hadn’t
accomplished anything
and NASCAR had no idea
it had a future rock star
in its midst.
Earnhardt, it turned
out, was not just a kid
getting a break because
his father owned Dale
Earnhardt Inc. The Hall
of Famer was tough on

his kid, made him work
hard, kept him honest
— two traits Junior has
carried with him all the
way until now, his ﬁnal
week as a full-time driver
in NASCAR. Retirement
awaits, and so does
fatherhood.
Earnhardt started
small, worked his way
through the Xﬁnity Series
and became a two-time
champion. Then Earnhardt graduated to the
Cup level in 2000 in a
seat owned by his dad
with splashy sponsor
Budweiser and an expensive marketing campaign.
Earnhardt Jr. dyed his
hair blonde, threw raucous parties at the Club E
he’d built on his property,
and Bud got him into the
hottest parties and sporting events all over the
country.
Behind the wheel, he
was a winner. The DEI
cars were good back then,
and Earnhardt made it
to victory lane in just
his seventh start. As his
fan base began to grow,
he became a cult hero
to the NASCAR fan and
recognizable to the casual
sports observer.

When his father was
killed in an accident
on the last lap of the
Daytona 500 the next
season, Earnhardt’s world
changed in every way.
Now the spotlight was
on him all the time, and
without his father around
to cast a disapproving
glare, Earnhardt struggled. He was still shy, still
had some insecurities,
and wasn’t comfortable
being the guy forced to
carry his father’s legacy.
Fast-forward to 2007
and Earnhardt and his
sister, Kelley, were in a
strained relationship with
their father’s wife. They
didn’t like the direction
Teresa Earnhardt was
taking DEI, and he wanted 51 percent control of
the team in his contract
negotiations. Teresa
Earnhardt had also
publicly questioned her
stepson’s commitment,
and Earnhardt painfully
admitted in a preseason
news conference that
their relationship “ain’t a
bed of roses.”
Four months later,
he’d made his decision
to leave DEI. Earnhardt
took people who had

covered the bulk of his
career into his ofﬁce
and explained to them,
personally, why he was
leaving. He feared what
people would think of
him, and he’d been raised
to be honest and behave
professionally. Earnhardt
didn’t want anyone to
think he was abandoning
his father’s team.
Off to Hendrick Motorsports he went, and
that wasn’t what anyone
hoped. Racing wasn’t fun,
he was no longer getting
along with the family
members who had always
been part of his career
and his performance was
awful.
It was Steve Letarte
who took over as crew
chief and rebuilt Earnhardt. He held him
accountable with a strict
schedule, demanded
Earnhardt be present for
debriefs and team meetings, and he coached him
back into a winning race
car driver.
Earnhardt will retire
after Sunday’s season
ﬁnale having never won a
championship. He never
ﬁlled his father’s shoes
on the race track. But he

won two Daytona 500s
and built an army of loyal
fans.
He also settled into
his own skin, found his
voice on social media
and became the social
conscience of NASCAR
simply by stating his
beliefs and being honest,
as his father had taught
him to be.
He took NASCAR
to events and appearances the sport had never
accessed before, and he
settled into a life with
wife Amy, who brought
him out his shell. She was
by his side during a grueling recovery last season
from concussions, and the
couple will become ﬁrsttime parents next year.
Earnhardt is nothing at
all like the kid trying to
wedge his way into NASCAR two decades ago.
But in many ways, the
money and the fame and
lifetime of experiences
hasn’t changed him at all.
All the adulation and
the accomplishments are
because of who Earnhardt
is, not because of his
lineage.
“I read something on
Twitter the other day

about my brother, he said
he has always lived under
Dad’s shadow and that
is not such a bad thing,”
Earnhardt said. “I don’t
know that you are always
out from under it, but it
didn’t bother me, but I
was always compared to
him and compared to his
success, the person he
was, people either liked
I was different or didn’t
like that I was different
and wanted me to be just
like him or whatever.
“It was often in conversation or part of the topic
of conversation in articles
and so forth. I really don’t
know when that started
to happen.”
And now, with one
week left in his retirement tour, the emotions
and the reality are very
real for Earnhardt.
Although he has three
cars running for the Xﬁnity Series championship
on Saturday, a future
career in broadcasting
with NBC, a baby girl on
the way, there’s something missing this week.
“I just miss him so bad
and wish he were here
today to see all this happening,” he said.

(though not Jerry Jones) abandoned before the

ﬁrst ceremonial shovels
of dirt were turned.
The Raiders won’t
play here until the 2020
season at the earliest, but
Monday night’s ofﬁcial
groundbreaking for a
$1.9 billion stadium made
it seem like they were
already home. Great Raiders of the past like Jim
Plunkett and Howie Long
were on hand for the
turnover, and there was
hardly a mention of Oakland the entire night.
Amazing what $750

million can do.
That, as it turns out, is
the price of admission to
the most exclusive club
in American sports. A
bit pricey, yes, but not a
problem in a city that laid
off the bet on tourists,
who will pick up the tab
in increased room taxes.
What began 20 months
ago as little more than a
concept — a pipe dream,
perhaps — is suddenly
very real. There are still
issues that remain,
including some crucial

agreements for the new
stadium, but no one in
attendance at the splashy
groundbreaking was in
any mood to hear about
them.
The presence of
Goodell and the owners
with the lights of the
Strip sparkling behind
them was a bit startling,
considering the NFL’s
outright disdain over
the years for everything
Vegas. A league that
refused to allow the city
to advertise on the Super

Bowl telecast just a few
years ago now may be
hosting a Super Bowl
there when the new stadium opens.
“The brightest city in
the world just got a little
brighter,” said comedian
and longtime Raiders fan
George Lopez, the master
of ceremonies.
Indeed, Las Vegas is
on the kind of roll with
major league sports that
a craps player at Caesars
Palace could only dream
of.

over USC, Michigan State
and North Carolina State.
But the Irish are going
to need some upsets —
maybe more than some
— to jump back into the
top four.
Then there is Ohio
State.
The Buckeyes can still
win the Big Ten, and
knocking off Wisconsin in
the title game deﬁnitely
gives Ohio State hope.
But with two losses,
including a lopsided one
at Iowa, the Buckeyes
could ﬁnd themselves

Still, considering how
bad that debacle in Iowa

the Buckeyes have to like
their situation.
