Thursday, January 19th, 2012

After retiring from the NFL, Eddie pursued his dream of becoming an actor.

Failures of Courage

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

“Hey, Paterno’s been fired.”

The salacious and horrific nature of the allegations were notable enough, but their presence in the context of the PSU program was what elevated the story to stratospheric-levels. Paterno and PSU had built a “brand” of integrity and honor unrivaled anywhere else in major college sports.

Google Plus Interruption

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Quick programming note…
Google has (temporarily, we hope) suspended our G+ account due to “violations of the Google Plus names policy.” When we set MotSaG up, we used our standard Google account that has been in place since 2006.
Until Google rolls out their G+ business pages, this is technically a violation (since “first name: MEN; last name: OFTHESCARLETANDGRAY” is not a proper name).

An Open Letter to Luke Fickell and Jim Bollman

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

Gentlemen,
I do not envy you for the situation you inherited this year. Even veteran, elite coaches must sympathize at the terrible hand you have been dealt. Still, however, one wonders why, with the challenging situation in which you have found yourselves, you would choose to sabotage your chances of putting the team in a position to succeed.

What Really Happened Against MSU

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

I hesitated before cranking out the recap this week. I wanted to avoid the cookie-cutter analysis of “offense bad.”
You cannot understand why the OSU offense had such a hard time until you understand what is going on under the hood.

Attention MSU fans…

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

Don’t gloat too much, because if we want your coach in four months, we’ll take him. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
Consider him on loan to you while we figure out what to do with Fickell and Meyer.

Time’s up; let’s change

Monday, September 19th, 2011

The failures are obvious. They are increasing. They are consistent, they are maddening. And they are inexcusable.
As our cohorts over at the BBC point out, the key sentiment in Carmen Ohio refers to “time and change will surely show,” and argue that we need more time to allow change to take effect.
