Congrats, Seniors!

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Not even the Blizzard of 2008 was enough to cool the SMOKING red hot Buckeyes, as they absolutely torched the paint off the Schott's floor this afternoon, decimating the Spartans 63-54. This is certainly not Sparta. Don't look now, but the Buckeyes are 2-1 in March, and 2-0 against ranked ...

Hey everyone!

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Remember me? I'm still around and I still totally don't want any attention. I'm trying (but not really all that much) to win a basketball championship here. Can't you see how not interested I am in talking about football? Sure. Anyway, the Plain Dealer has an article about the Chosen One's ...

Desperate Times

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Call for desperate victories. I still think the Buckeyes are a long shot to make the tournament (outside winning the Big Ten tournament, natch) but this victory over the Purdue Men-in-Tights was still deeply satisfying. There's a lot to be excited about this young Buckeye basketball team, especially Evan Turner. I'm hoping ...

Monday Musings and Mutterings

Monday, February 25th, 2008

In an attempt to make a weekly brain dump, I'm going to try to do this on a regular basis. I know it's only been one game, but the new Cavs have me excited. Even though Ben Wallace is the headliner of this trade, I think the player I'm most excited ...

Now what?

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

They say one of the worst blog posts is the "sorry I haven't posted lately" post. They're easy to do, but they're lazy and show a lack of enthusiasm. Sorry, but this is one of them. To be honest, the MotSaG HQ has been pretty low in the enthusiasm department since ...

The empire becomes weaker

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Keith, say it ain't so. For you OSU and Big 10 blogging young-uns, Buckeye Commentary has been doing high-quality, thoughtful, classy blogging longer than most others. When I started MotSaG, my vision was inspired by what Keith was doing over at Buckeye Commentary. Buckeye Commentary ruled the Buckeye amateur writing world, and ...

We’re still here

Friday, February 1st, 2008

We just wanted to check in and let people know what we are, in fact, alive and well. In fact, I don't know why I'm blogging this while there's science to be done. (I'm really hoping someone in the audience gets that reference) Everything at la Casa MotSaG is going ...

Come with me…

... if you want to live. ... if you want to play in BCS games. ... if you need some padding for your eBay auctions.

A Class Act to the very end.

Monday, January 14th, 2008

We haven't been following the recent NFL draft declarations and transfer goings-on (hit up 11W for that) but we definitely feel moved to wish MotSaG's el Kaiser's man-crush-4-life, Vernon Gholston, some well deserved love. First, just read this quote from the Dispatch last week: "As a son and as a man, it ...

BCS Bourbon Bowl Semi-live update

Monday, January 7th, 2008

First Quarter Not getting ahead of ourselves here, just wanted to let everyone know that Beanie is a man among little boys with long hair. Gholston isn't even on the same plane of existence as these boots. OSU - 10 LSU - 3 Second Quarter Our defensive end caught their running back in the backfield. ...

It’s the final countdown…

BCS Championship Game - Ohio State vs. LSU - Open Thread

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Some links to chew on: The Wizard of Odds asks "Who Is Going to Win the BCS Title Game?" What I want to know is, where is this huge talent disparity between OSU and LSU? The experts call it out all the time, but how about some proof? Top-to-bottom, the Buckeyes ...

Five Things - OSU Defense

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

We know that our readers, Ohio State fans especially, are very smart football fans. We don't need to tell you guys what to look for during the BCS Bourbon Bowl. We definitely don't need to tell you when to get nervous nor when to spontaneously break into Carmen Ohio. Nevertheless, here ...

Five Things - OSU Offense

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

We've listed the five things we're keeping an eye on the defensive end, so here are the five things to look for on the offensive side of the ball: 5. Offensive line vs. Dorsey (and his little friends) - There's no denying Dorsey is a game changer, even if he isn't ...

Breaking news!

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

This just in: In a MotSaG exclusive, we have learned that the wunderkind Vernon Gholtson may arrive a little late to the 2008 BCS Bourbon Bowl. He's got a new gig opening up this evening. This isn't supposed to impact his performance in any way. Especially if Jacob Hester tries to score ...
