MotSaG’s Annual Tournament Pick’em Contest

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

It's that time of year again, ladies and gents. Time to put on your wizard robes and prognostication caps and fill out your brackets once again in the Annual MotSaG Tournament Pick'em. In years past I've asked people to send me a request to join the fray, but that just ends ...

Behold: The Power of Threes

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Michigan needed them to get back into the game and Evan Turner turned around and used one to stab them straight through their under .500 hearts. Sorry guys, it was just meant to be. This was only a second round Big Ten tournament game. I know this. That being said, this ...

Twittering Buckeyes

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Are we college football fans creepy or what? We fawn over the whims of 17 year-old boys as they decide which institution of higher learning they will commit to (hoping it's ours!), watch their every move for three to four years (or, in the case of Todd Boeckman, seven or ...

Big Ten Champs!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Congratulations to the 2009-2010 (how would you say that? "Two-thousand nine, twenty ten"?) Ohio State Men's Basketball team for winning the regular season Big Ten Title. The basketball coverage around these parts has been sparse this year, due to a lack of time and definitely not a lack of interest. This ...

This makes me profoundly sad

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

I do more Google searches for Vernon Gholston than the average Buckeye Fan (don't judge!) and recently came across this article that made me sad. Coach Rex Ryan doesn’t even bother to try to talk him up anymore and the media doesn’t even bother to ask. It’s getting harder and harder ...

Malcolm Jenkins is a classy guy

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I wanted to post this earlier, but didn't have a chance until today. A lot of times we get caught up in following these young kids, these young athletes, building them up to the point of expecting too much of them. For some reason we gleefully rejoice in their failings ...

That thing is operational!

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

We all knew that after the New Mexico State game that Pryor was injured. It was mentioned more than once that he was running on gimpy wheels, whether it be a bum ankle or an injured knee. Yesterday it was made known (as far as I can tell, first by ...

Caption this!

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I'm currently working on a post about the recruiting haul, so in the meantime, let's caption this picture of Senator Tressel visiting with super-recruit Seantrel Henderson.

We’re talking about expansion? Expansion?

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Normally, our in-house rabble rouser Sylvester Yon-Rambo can be found on ESPN.com stirring up fans of opposing teams after another Buckeye beat-down (how many times have you been banned from ESPN, SYR? Five? Six times?) but recently SYR was nothing but civil participating in Adam Rittenburg's weekly B10 chat. We ...

Look at all these rumors

They're surrounding me every day. (via The Silver Bullet)

Troy Smith loves Cleveland

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

And Cleveland loves you, Troy! It's no secret we have a special place in our hearts for Troy Smith and most of us are pretty bummed out that he hasn't had a chance to show his stuff in the NFL. One little medical condition is what stands between Troy Smith starting ...

I don’t know about you

Friday, January 15th, 2010

But this business of playing on a Thursday night doesn't feel right. Call me a football snob or purist, but I almost feel that playing Thursday nights is beneath Ohio State.

Quick Hits are quick

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Flash Thomas is gone, which makes this MotSaG'er sad, because I always thought he could have been our version of Percy Harvin -- fast, versatile, electric. But wherever he ends up, we wish him good luck. OSU is the unanimous #5. Would you have believed this after the Purdue debacle? I ...
