2010 NCAA Helmet Schedule

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Because you need help planning the next 13+ Saturdays in advance, here is your 2010 NCAA Helmet Schedule. This year it was a little hard to come by a schedule that didn't have a million embedded links, so big thanks to MGHelmets.com. They actually have an interactive, hyperlinked schedule if that's ...

Life Outside the Big Ten: Can BYU Really Be Notre Dame West? (UPDATED)

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

It may seem hard to believe, but they play football outside of the Midwest on occasion. Sure, most of the time it's like RC Cola - not as good as the real thing while still remaining a workable thirst-quencher when the good stuff isn't available - but it's there nonetheless. ...

Around The Internets Today

Dispatch: Special Teams' Flaws Were Evident in '09 The Ozone: Kick Coverage Teams a Major Focus This Offseason Two stories published a day apart dealing with the same issue: the Buckeyes' subpar performance on kick and punt coverage last season.

For your Friday Night

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I don't know why I won't just let this go, but here is the latest development in the Seantrel Henderson saga: This may not result in a single thing, but I find myself fascinated by it all.

It’s a simple rule, Norm

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

If you were a student and you were an athlete, would you meet with an agent? Should be simple enough. You'd think these young men would be instructed in how to deal with these guys. This sort of puts those five hundred dollars Smith used to pay for HWSNBN's cell phone, no?

This and that

Friday, July 9th, 2010

As the sportsMonkey and I were headed to see the second half of the USA/Algeria World Cup game, he remembered that one of his first posts here at MotSaG was about the 2006 World Cup (ironically after another bouncing at the hands of Ghana). That reminded me that we recently ...

Spankings all around

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

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 ...

Look at all these rumors

Good morning, sunshine!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Hey, it's Rose Bowl Eve! And we haven't blogged anything in over a week. Is anyone surprised by that? This blogging thing is hard! We've been doing it for over three years, you think we would have figured that out. Has anything happened while we were gone? I've been ...

Trash-Talking Youtube Videos with Misspellings and Terrible Music Get Their Own Posts this Bowl Season

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Seriously...how could I not let this gem speak for itself. Terrible Music. I am still in disbelief that anyone from Oregon can have this bad of taste in music even in a trash-talking expose... Spelling. There is an 'e' at the end of Purdue. At least, I am ...

MotSaG’s West Coast Bunker: Speed and Swagger…A study in Oregon and OSU Fandom Stupidity

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

So...times are slow...the Champions League has decided it is only for teams that can play defense (FU Liverpool and your inability to NOT give up a goal in the last 8 minutes of play) This is the time of the year where an incredible void of no football games and the ...

As bowl season rapidly approaches, we'd love for you to join those of us here at Men of the Scarlet and Gray for a Bowl Pick'em contest. We've done NCAA Tournament Pick'ems in the past, but this is our first Bowl Pick'em. We all think know we're smarter than Jesse ...

Bowl Selection Open Thread

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I know the Buckeyes have known their fate for a couple weeks now, but there are still a few unknowns left to find out. Unfortunately, ESPN has a monopoly on the suspense, so we have to sit throw their broadcast of terribleness to find out the fun stuff. Discuss what you ...

Thoughts on the Civil War

Friday, December 4th, 2009

So Oregon it is! I try to watch as much college football as I can during the season (I take my Blogpoll privileges seriously) but when it comes to the Pac-10, I just haven't had many chances to see teams not named USC, Oregon or Stanford. So outside of highlights and ...
