Kids say the darnedst things

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

"Look, daddy, a girl football player" - My five year old daughter, watching Sports Center with me, watching a bit on Jeremy Shockey with his golden locks flowing out from under his helmet.

Want to write for MotSaG?

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Neither the sportsMonkey nor I will be able to make it to the Spring Game tomorrow, much to our chagrin, but we'd really like to have someone on the scene that could give us some first hand thoughts and remarks about what goes on during the game. If you've ever dreamed ...

Monday Musings are late again

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

... For which it apologizes. Who says the NIT isn't exciting? I was at the Quaker Steak last night with my bro-in-law, having my way with a basket of chicken wings with the UMass/Syracuse game on in the background. The BIL commented that certainly UMass couldn't come back from 20 down, ...

Monday Musings are sad

Monday, March 17th, 2008

The Buckeyes aren't in the tournament? That makes MM muy sad. But that's just the tip of the old iceberg. What else is happening in the world of sports in the Ohio? Anything you can do, we can do better: There's a brief article in the FreeP about Ohio State (and Minnesota) ...

MotSaG’s Pick’em as ya see’em

Monday, March 17th, 2008

I know it's not as fun to play the brackets without our beloved Buckeyes, but that won't stop us from holding the second annual Yahoo Pick'em Tournament contest! Due to circumstances outside our control, last year's prize was not redeemed. I guess that means we'll just have an even bigger prize ...

Monday musings are back!

Monday, March 10th, 2008

After already failing in my attempts to blog on a regular basis, the Monday Musings are back after a one week hiatus. And just barely! The Terrell Pryor watch continues: Now he's courting offers from places like Memphis. Memphis? I actually told the Monkey last month that he may be one-and-done ...

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 ...

MotSaG Mailbag - Jackets whining; Influenza; OSU’s 2008 recruiting class; VG to the Jets?

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Time for a new feature on Men of the Scarlet and Gray, where we respond to comments, feedback, questions, and suggestions provided to us via the MotSaG Contact Form and/or individual post comments. MotSaG reader Rob writes: "You should change the name of your website. Every time I come on here, it ...

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 ...

Dumb-ndits

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

It must be hard to be dumb and a pundit. Self-assurance is a job requirement. Sure, they'll call themselves "analysts" but they're really pundits. Critics. Mouth-breathers. Uneducated has-beens. Call them what you want, but if they're criticizing your team, they are the anti-Christ. You hate them and we hate them. ...

Big 10 Roundtable - Week 11

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

We're a bit late to the party on the Big 10 Blogger Network, and we thank the rest of the group for inviting us. You'll notice the new widget to your right - make sure you keep up with the posts from the other members of our fine community. Anyway, BTC ...

Link Round-up is the Calm and the Storm (Week #9)

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

So first off, we've been wondering how we should be doing the "link round-up". As readers, do you prefer the once-a-week linkage or would you prefer the links one at a time, spread out as they come? Let us know how you like your Buckeye Blogging. What kind of fan of ...

Link Round-up, Week #8

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Before we get started with this week's round-up, I just wanted to make sure I understood the ramifications of Rutgers resounding defeat of South Florida. As USF was ascending in the polls, their victory over Auburn "looked more and more impressive" as Auburn beat Florida and squeaked by Arkansas. The ...
