For you social network addicts, MotSaG now has a stream over on G+.
Feel free to circle us over there, if you wish. We’ll be using it to notify followers of new posts. However, we’ll also likely be doing a bit of microblogging over there as well; mostly small updates and newsworthy items that may not require the full-main-site-treatment here at MotSaG.
We have months (and perhaps years) to analyze Luke Fickell. And we shall.
But first, let’s let former head coach John Cooper properly introduce the man:
That man is now your head coach.
That man, who played through torn biceps to lead his team to a Rose Bowl victory and secure a school-record 50 consecutive starts, is now your head coach.
If you haven’t heard, Ohio Governor John Kasich issued a resolution on Monday that honors the NBA-champion Dallas Mavericks as “Honorary Ohioans.”
In particular, he recognized MVP Dirk Nowitzki, who “chose to keep his talents in Dallas by renewing his contract with the Mavericks in 2010 and foregoing free agency.”
Oof.
The recent allegations against Terrelle Pryor are more interesting when viewed in the context of another, apparently forgotten story from last year.
On the day before the Iowa game, university administrators announced that someone stole several pairs of shoes from the OSU football team’s locker room.
In a world where helping your father try to extort $180,000 gets you a Heisman and a NC shot, it seems disingenuous to suspend a player for selling his school ring just so that he could have enough money to buy gas and take a girl to the movies.
CRAP CRAP CRAP.
Via Ken Gordon:
NCAA release: Adams, Pryor, Posey, Herron & Thomas will sit out 1st 5 games of 2011 season for selling awards, etc.
Jordan Whiting is also out.
They will apparently still play in the Sugar Bowl.
The name on everybody’s lips
Is gonna be Moxie
The QB raking in the chips
Is gonna be Moxie
I’m gonna be a celebrity
That means
Somebody everyone sees
They(‘re) gonna recognize my TDs
My arm my legs my pout my INTs…
Mooxxxieee Haaart!!
OSU and Terrelle Pryor continue to claim that his early-October thigh injury was only minor. Yet, those of us who have been studying the quarterback for three years have noticed a significant dropoff in on-field performance during the last month, particularly in his rushing and scrambling ability.
So it stinks craptastic donkey farts that OSU lost.
But answer honestly… is it really that big of a deal? Let’s step away from the ledge for a moment and remember how rare it is that ANY team from a competitive conference goes undefeated.
October 3rd, 2009: 4-0 UM loses to MSU, finishes 5-7.
October 9th, 2010: 5-0 UM loses to MSU…

Look, it’s easy.
At this point, five games into the season, OSU is 14th in the country in rushing offense, averaging 235 yards per game. The fact that the load is being shared by at least three players is irrelevant.
As a way of explaining my point, consider this: OSU is leading the conference in TD passes.
FINAL: 43-7
Three Ws for 2010, all convincing offensive and defensive masterpieces, and all against teams that went to bowl games last year.
Thankfully, today’s matchup didn’t resemble 2008, when an anemic Buckeye offense stumbled to a lackluster victory against the Bobcats.
