Good morning Buckeye Nation.
May Hate: Just because its always great to rub it into Mark May of the four letter network when ever he’s wrong in his predictions and he is always wrong when it comes to picking against the Buckeyes. Mark May picked Wisconsin over The Ohio State University and we know how that ended.
Stupid May Buckeyes are for grown ups not for immature haters!!
Airport Termination: This isn’t Buckeye related except maybe Tom Herman’s might get thrown into the mix. Lane Kiffin was fired when the team arrived back in Southern Cali, at the airport. They didn’t even wait for him to make it back to USC facilities, kind of funny karma is.
Scouting Craft: Since Basketball practice has officially started across the NCAA Scott Polacek of Bleacher Report has a nice write up on Aaron Craft and his high school scouting report. I know its football season but I can’t wait to see the Buckeyes hit the hardwood this winter.
Add another Buckeye: PG Asia Doss from the D in Michigan has verbally committed to the Buckeyes. Coach Kevin McGuff keeps reeling in strong recruits for his 2014 class. Welcome to Buckeye Nation Asia glad to have you wear the scarlet and gray.
Buckeye Class: Dom Tiberi is a long time sports anchor for WBNS-TV in Columbus. Tiberi has had to suffer through the tragedy of losing his 21 year old daughter , Maria Elizabeth Tiberi, earlier this month. Before kickoff of the FAMU game there was a moment of silence for the Tiberi family and the Buckeyes wore stickers on their helmets with the letters MT to honor Maria.
Dom returned to the ‘Shoe for the first time since this tragedy and as you can tell by the video it is very moving. Almost all the players on the Buckeye team stopped by and gave him a hug. I have never met Dom but from everything I have heard this gentleman is the nicest and greatest person to be around. Here at MotSaG we would like to send our condolences.
Until next time Buckeye nation…
Every time a coach gets fired, I worry that Tom Herman is getting a phone call. I don’t think he’ll be in the mix for the USC job, because they will want to make more of a “splash” with a name hire and they have a number of alumni/former staffers coaching around CFB and the NFL. It’s also unlikely that they’ll want someone with no head coaching experience.
UConn, on the other hand, would probably commit ritual murder to get their hands on him.
I thought the same thing. I even thought of a great explanation to the anemic offensive output of the second quarter: Herman was on the phone with Pat Haden.
It’s a foregone conclusion that Herman isn’t long for Ohio State, but I sure how we can hang on to him for as long as possible.
