Why Nebraska Will Be A Mediocre Big Ten Team (At Least At First)

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

A few things right up front: 1. No, this is not just a wild devil's-advocate post to help pass the time until football returns for real next month.  (But, to be fair, we've got to do that somehow.) 2. Let's face it, there simply hasn't been nearly enough Husker Hate going on. ...

Auburn, Cam Newton heading for trouble?

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

July is always one of the slowest months for us here at MotSaG (as our archives will attest). That's usually because it is historically not a busy month, Buckeye-wise or college football-wise. Of course, that is not the case this year with all that has happened to the Buckeyes this off-season. ...

The Last Days of the BCS?

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany's recent advocacy of "cost-of-attendance" scholarships for athletes that would include additional funds to cover things like travel expenses and clothing was seen by many critics as a response to the current memorabilia scandal at Ohio State.  However, the idea is not exclusive to Delany and ...

Elsewhere…

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

I don't know who's behind this, but someone with a Delaware phone number has set up a website challenging Cam Newton to take a lie detector test and answer four questions about the accusations of payola that continue to haunt him and his father.  While there's no real chance of ...

In Case You Missed It

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Well it's back to this. It might be hard to believe but there is still a lot going on in Buckeyeland that doesn't involve the basketball team crushing lesser teams and getting ready for a Final Four run. It includes Buckeye football. Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye? Let's start off on ...

New Year’s Day Open Thread

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Here's an open thread to discuss all the exciting Bowl Games of the day. Let's at least hope they're exciting because so far the Bowl Season has been BOR-ING. How would have thought that the Big Ten would be 2-0 at this point? We've clearly established dominance over the Big XII. ...

In Case You Missed It

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

We're not dead, we're just hibernating. After our (my) self-imposed hiatus, I'm trying to get back into the posting groove. Here's a delayed round-up of some of news and goings-on in Buckeyeland and Blogtopia. This may only affect a small percentage of MotSaG readers, but earlier this week Gawker (which owns tabloid ...

Friday, December 10th, 2010

(This is a guest series by MotSaG reader Jason Nafziger. He’ll be taking a weekly look at the college football polls and pointing out the absurd, the laughable and the head scratchers. Please note that Jason is not talking about the BlogPoll. Or my ballot to the BlogPoll.) Once again, the ...

Week #14 – Open Thread

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

It's weird and exciting to think that this time next year we'll be gearing up for the Big Ten Championship Game. It sure would be nice to have a chance at redemption this year but we'll get over it. While we're watching this week's offering, I figured it was time for ...

Week #10 – Open Thread

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

The Buckeyes aren't playing, but that doesn't mean you won't be firmly in front of your TV following another day of football goodness. Mid-afternoon update - I really thought it was going to be Purdue's day and they were going to pull off the Upset of the Century (of the Week!) ...
