Daily Blog: Sunday January 18, 2014 - Otis Hydraulic Elevator @ Panera Bread in Grandville,Michigan

Today I Was Riding a Otis Hydraulic Elevator at Panera Bread in Grandville, Michigan. The fan was annoying as Youtube User DieselDucy says. The Elevator Capacity was 2100 pounds (1 ton). I never rode an elevator in a restaurant until that moment today. Before I rode the elevator I had chicken noodle soup and a barbeque chicken salad for lunch.  Had a cherry pastry and mountain dew to drink.

Daily Blog January 13, 2015 The Day After Ohio State Beat Oregon For The National Championship

Hello You tubers, It's Your Friend Zachary Betts and welcome to youtube user 1986bettszachary, Where Last Night the 4th Rated Ohio State Knocked off Second Ranked Oregon Ducks by a score of 42-20 to clinch their first national championship since 2002 where the upset top ranked Miami of Florida by a score of 31-24 in Double Overtime in the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Ohio State Gains Ground

Ohio State earned its sixth national title since the start of the poll era in 1936, fifth-most behind leaders Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and USC.

Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliot

, a sophomore, was the offensive MVP and ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries. In the past three games -- the Big Ten championship against Wisconsin, the Allstate Sugar Bowl semifinal against Alabama and the final against Oregon -- Elliott had 696 yards rushing.

Mariota passed for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but the Ducks' warp-speed spread offense missed too many red zone opportunities and couldn't unleash its running game against linebacker Darron Lee and an Ohio State front seven stacked with future NFL draft picks.

"We fought through a lot of stuff," Mariota said. "We ended up short tonight, but that shouldn't take away from what we were able to do this year."

Even with the benefit of four Ohio State turnovers, the Ducks were held to their lowest point total of the season, four touchdowns fewer than their average coming in. They went 2-for-12 on third downs, with two dropped passes in the first half.

"Their front seven is unbelievable," Oregon receiver Byron Marshall said. "I think we missed some opportunities, and they played a great game."

When Jones surged and spun his way into the end zone with 4:49 left in the second quarter, it was 21-7 Ohio State, and the "O! H! I! O!" chant made the dome in North Texas sound like the horseshoe in Columbus. The Ducks were facing their largest deficit of the season.

If there was any concern that fans wouldn't travel to the championship game in the new postseason system, the packed house at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, awash in Buckeyes scarlet and Ducks yellow, put that to rest. The crowd of 85,689 was as charged as that at any BCS national championship game.

But by the time Elliott went in from 2 yards out with 9:44 left in the fourth to make it 35-20, it was clear this night had turned into a Buckeyes bash.

Ohio State is 9-0 against Oregon, its best record against any school in program history. 

Ohio State joins Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, and Oklahoma as the only schools with six national titles.

 Ohio State has now defeated a pair of Heisman Trophy winners - O.J. Simpson and Marcus Mariota. Ohio State was ranked 5th in the final AP poll before bowl season. That's tied for the highest jump ever from the second-to-last AP poll to the final AP poll.

Daily Blog December 9, 2014 Cam Newton Injured

Today I have some disturbing news to tell you, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton suffered two transverse fractures in his lower back in a two-car collision near Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte Tuesday afternoon. The wreck happened when a truck crashed and overturned on the S. Church Street Bridge at Interstate 277 just before 12:30 p.m. 

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Newton and the driver of the other vehicle were both taken to the hospital with minor injuries. 

"Cam Newton is in fair condition and undergoing tests at Carolinas Medical Center and will remain there overnight for observation," the Panthers said in a statement released around 2:30 p.m.

Just before 3:30 p.m. officials delivered the news that Cam had suffered two transverse fractures in his lower back. A transverse fracture consists of a bone being broken perpendicular to the direction the bone runs.

Another car with damage to its front was loaded onto a flatbed tow truck, and a pickup truck reportedly belonging to the quarterback was seen on its side surrounded by debris.

The driver of the second vehicle is expected to be okay, according to police. No word on what led to the accident. 

Newton, 25, was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Panthers. In his first year, he became the only rookie quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season and the first to rush for more than 700.

His best season with Carolina came in 2013, when he led the team to a 12-4 record and a first round bye in the playoffs. He has started every game since becoming the Panthers' QB, compiling a record of 29-31-1.

In 2010, the Atlanta native led the Auburn Tigers to a 14-0 record in his lone season with the team. The year culminated in Auburn defeating Oregon 22-19 to win the BCS Championship. He also led Blinn College to the junior college national championship in 2009.

Emergency officials said Newton was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Newton is listed in fair condition, and is undergoing tests at CMC, according to the Panthers; he will stay at CMC overnight for observation.

In a press conference late Tuesday afternoon, a Panthers spokesperson said Newton suffered two lower transverse process fractures in his lower back, a similar injury that Dallas Cowboy's quarterback Tony Romo has been playing with this season. Further, Newton suffered no internal injuries in the crash.

If Newton is ruled unable to play, veteran Derek Anderson would be expected to take over as Carolina's starting quarterback. Anderson led the Panthers to a 20-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 while Newton sat out with fractured ribs.

The Panthers play the Bucs this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Ohio State blows out Wisconsin for statement win in Big Ten title game

INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio State's No. 3 quarterback looked every bit as good as the other two.

Cardale Jones even did something his two all-conference predecessors could not. He led the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title.

Jones threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns and was named the game's MVP in his first career start, leading No. 5 Ohio State to a 59-0 rout of No. 13 Wisconsin in Saturday night's conference championship game -- one of the most lopsided title games in Big Ten history and an emphatic statement to the College Football Playoff selection committee.

No. 5 Ohio State left little doubt Saturday night about who the Big Ten's best team is, routing No. 13 and favored Wisconsin, 59-0.Story

Saturday's results did nothing to make the selection committee's job any easier. It has a tough task on its hands in determining the fourth team to be selected for the College Football Playoff. Story

"I don't think there's any doubt we're one of the top four teams in America," said Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer, who secured an extra year on his contract worth a total of about $4.58 million and a $100,000 bonus with the Big Ten title game win, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.

Heading into championship weekend, it looked like the Buckeyes would be the first team out. They still might, but Ohio State hopes Saturday's impressive blowout at least keeps them in the conversation as the final deliberations take place Sunday.

Ohio State (12-1, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 6 AP) has won 11 straight since losing at home to Virginia Tech and has beaten nine bowl-eligible teams, all but two by double digits. Still, some wondered whether losing record-setting quarterback J.T. Barrett with a broken right ankle in the regular-season finale after losing Heisman Trophy candidate Braxton Millerwith a right shoulder injury in August, would be too much to overcome.

Not a chance.

Jones was efficient and effective Saturday, going 12-of-17.

Ezekiel Elliott carried 12 times for 150 yards and two scores in the first half and finished with 20 carries for a career-high 220 yards.

Devin Smith caught four passes for 137 yards and three scores.

The defense completely shut down Wisconsin (10-3, 7-1, No. 11 AP) and kept Melvin Gordon, the nation's leading rusher, under control. Gordon ran 26 times for 76 yards, his second-worst game of the season.

Ohio State handed the Badgers their first shutout since August 1997 and their worst loss since a 59-0 rout, also to the Buckeyes, in 1979.

All of it came after an emotional week for the Buckeyes, who learned of the death of defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge one day after Barrett's season-ending injury.

Ohio State honored Karageorge by wearing a decal with his jersey number, 53, on the back of its helmets. Defensive tackle Michael Bennett changed his jersey number from 63 to 53, and before the national anthem, there was a moment of silence to honor Karageorge, who was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

OSU's Biggest Shutouts vs. Ranked Teams

Ohio State's 59-0 shellacking of Wisconsin is tied for the fourth-largest shutout ever against a ranked team, and by far the largest for Ohio State. This is the first time the Buckeyes have shut out an AP-ranked opponent since 1975.

-- ESPN Stats & Information

Have the Buckeyes done enough on the field to make college football's inaugural final four?

They beat a team that had won seven straight overall, had rushed for 435.8 yards in its previous five games in the Hoosier State and was a four-point favorite coming into the game.

But against a quarterback and the motivated Buckeyes, Wisconsin never had a chance.

"We can play with anybody, and we're going to work extremely hard whoever we play against," Smith said.

They were outgained 364-91 in first-half yards when Ohio State scored on five of its first six possessions against the nation's No. 4 scoring defense. Ohio State had a 558-258 advantage overall.

And the Buckeyes made it look easy.

Just six plays into the game, Jones hooked up with Smith on a pretty 39-yard floater for a 7-0 lead. Elliott then found a whole in the middle and sprinted 81 yards for a score. After Wisconsin finally held the Buckeyes to a field goal, Jones hooked up again with Smith on a 44-yard TD pass to make it 24-0 with 11:09 left in the second quarter, then capped the half with Elliott's 14-yard TD run and Joey Bosa's 4-yard fumble return for a score to make it 38-0.

Not much changed in the second half.

Smith made a nifty two-handed, off-balance catch as he was going backward into the end zone for a 42-yard score early in the third quarter, and the Buckeyes closed it out with two Curtis Samuel touchdown runs in the fourth.
