Join us around 3:15 PM EDT for the live-in game chat where we’ll inevitably hurl four-letter words (not me, of course) at Jim Bollman, his Walrusball ineptitude and, if it comes to it, at B-deck Bauserman.
PLEASE don’t let it come to that.
Week Seven Open Thread
October 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Previously, week seven would pretty much mean the season was more than half over. But, with the expansion of the BEE ONE GEE and the addition of a championship game, we can delay the half way point by just a little more.
So let’s get together and make fun of Michigan and Michigan State!
Update (1:15 PM) – So there’s a quarterback controversy brewing in Michigan? Can you really be a Heisman candidate if someone is taking over your position while you’re still on the field?
Update (2:48) – Why can’t Chris Spielman do every game I watch? I could listen to him all day long. I also love when he struggles to hide his contempt for anything Michigan.

How weird is it that there are three B1G teams in the Top 11 (my top 11, at least) and not one of them is Ohio State, Nebraska or Penn State.
Nebraska Live Game Chat
October 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Here’s the weekly Game Chat with the guys over at The Buckeye Battle Cry and Our Honor Defend. Usually at least one of us MotSaG’ers join in the fun over there.
I imagine that the festivities will start around 7:45 PM or so.
Also, if Google+ is more your style, the sportsMonkey has been setting up G+ chats that happen during the game. If you’re interested in joining, make sure and circle Men of the Scarlet and Gray.
So anyway, the chat:
See you at 7:30!
Week Six Open Thread
October 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I hate 8 o’clock kick-offs. Luckily it’s a nice day outside and decent slate of games to keep us busy while we wait for our Ohio State Buckeyes to face off against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Feel free to chime in on anything that suits your fancy this fine Saturday of College Football.

More great news: Herron, Posey still in limbo
October 3, 2011 by Leave a Comment
We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this:
The return of Ohio State tailback Daniel Herron and receiver DeVier Posey from their start-of-the-season NCAA suspensions could be delayed by at least one more game barring a change of heart by the NCAA, sources told The Dispatch today. OSU athletic director Gene Smith is expected to shed some light on the matter during a press conference later this afternoon.
We’ve got the Press Conference open in the next tab and will update accordingly, but yeah…
We ain’t out of the woods yet.
