(NB: This is coming from the blogger who still has Vernon Gholston plastered all over his cube walls.)
The time has come to fill the void. It looks like MotSaG might have a new Mancrush and Posterboy around these parts: #54 Johnny Simon.
Since Mount Vernon's departure a couple seasons ago, ...

Interesting. Very interesting.
What's that, Seantrel? Will we be playing a game in January? Why yes, yes we will. Maybe even in Pasadena. Care to join us?

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Because I mostly ignore the internet on Saturdays (unless I'm playing Modern Warfare 2), I didn't hear about Jamel Turner being shot until late last night when I had been messaged by a friend on Facebook that he had been shot and was in pretty bad shape. It is never ...

This is June, right? Can this many exciting things really be happening in the world of College Football (capitalized for respect, son)?
We have something cooking for the Big Ten expansion (hopefully!) forthcoming, but in the meantime, per Bruce Feldman at ESPN, the NCAA is about to get medieval on USC:
Wonder ...

Such a shame. (via Dr. Saturday)

Recruiting is not our shtick around here, but that doesn't mean we won't be found watching high school highlight films of future and former recruits on YouTube on a given Wednesday afternoon. We have what you might call a vested interest. We also know just enough to be dangerous but ...

Via ESPN:
The 28-year-old Decker will be sentenced in August. He will pay $11,000 in restitution for Moeller's medical bills.
That's a start, but clearly jail time should also in the works. Even still, I don't think jail time will be sufficient punishment to satisfy the demands of the Stiff Arm of ...

The Ohio State Defense has been really good lately. So says Phil Steele:
Ohio St scoring defense has been dominant over the past 5 years allowing just 13.4 ppg which is more than 1 ppg lower than #2 Virginia Tech. TCU has always fielded good defenses under HC Gary Patterson and ...

It may seem like I spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over Vernon Gholston's career but I feel a certain investment in it, especially after prominently (and quite honestly, creepily) featuring his genetically superior physique while he was at Ohio State and possibly over-hyping his performances at any chance. ...

This year I'm trying not to get caught up in the spring time hype and excitement. I know it's fun to follow the team's practice and preparation, but there's only so much that can really be gained from dissecting a handful of practices and half-speed scrimmages. That's not to say ...

It's been a while since we've had an open thread around these parts, and with all the sports-related action going on, I thought it would be great to throw up an open thread and hear from you guys.
I know most mock drafts don't have Thaddues Maximus going very high ...

You, yes you, can get yourself an Ohio State Wide Receiver for the low-low price of a fifth round draft pick. Here's to hoping Ted Ginn Jr. can get a new lease on life on the Left Coast while Santonio Holmes joins Braylon Edwards in the unholiest of wide receiver ...

The Buckeyes had some "extra help" with stopping the Oregon Ducks' offense when the two teams met in the Rose Bowl. At least some people are convincing themselves that this actually happened.
Of course, this is all being embellished (and possibly taken out of context) by John Hunt, of OregonLive.com (h/t ...
