Big Ten Football Morning Coffee: Ohio State Has a Couple of Real Whiz Kids

Rise and shine, friends. Here's what's going down in the Big Ten today.

—Two of Ohio State's leaders on offense, LT Jack Mewhort and TE Jake Stoneburner, are suspended indefinitely after their weekend arrests for obstruction of official business. Which is to say, really, they (and another guy who's not on the team) angered police officers after they ran away from the public space where they were urinating. Yeahhh. Have fun with this one, Urban Meyer.

—Remember that crazy picture of Iowa starting QB James Vandenberg posing with a bear he had just killed with a bow and arrow? Turns out that's just something that runs in the family. Susan Denk at The Hawk Eye writes that Vandenberg, his father and his sister were all part of a five-person hunting expedition in Saskatchewan, and each member killed a bear, with James landing the biggest. In addition, grandfather Lewis James was famous for killing a bear in the '40s and earned the nickname "Bear" Vandenberg. Good. Bears will cut you wide open. Time to even the score.

—A Michigan starter is still dealing with the legal fallout of his malicious destruction of personal property charge. Oh, you thought we were talking about Will Campbell again? No, no; This is WR Jerald Robinson, who, according to Kyle Meinke of AnnArbor.com, just delayed the trial on his own charge a second time. Robinson was charged after breaking off the arm of a parking garage gate. Good. Parking garages will cut you wide open. Time to even the score.

-—Bo Pelini is against any and all types of playoffs, writes Steven M. Sipple of the Lincoln Journal Star. That goes for college football, but I prefer to believe it extends to any and all facets of sports and life. Like March Madness makes him furious, and he thinks Top Chef's system of determining a champion is needlessly contrived and counterintuitive. And on that we can all agree.
