Are we college football fans creepy or what? We fawn over the whims of 17 year-old boys as they decide which institution of higher learning they will commit to (hoping it's ours!), watch their every move for three to four years (or, in the case of Todd Boeckman, seven or ...

Congratulations to the 2009-2010 (how would you say that? "Two-thousand nine, twenty ten"?) Ohio State Men's Basketball team for winning the regular season Big Ten Title.
The basketball coverage around these parts has been sparse this year, due to a lack of time and definitely not a lack of interest. This ...

I do more Google searches for Vernon Gholston than the average Buckeye Fan (don't judge!) and recently came across this article that made me sad.
Coach Rex Ryan doesn’t even bother to try to talk him up anymore and the media doesn’t even bother to ask. It’s getting harder and harder ...

I wanted to post this earlier, but didn't have a chance until today.
A lot of times we get caught up in following these young kids, these young athletes, building them up to the point of expecting too much of them. For some reason we gleefully rejoice in their failings ...

We all knew that after the New Mexico State game that Pryor was injured. It was mentioned more than once that he was running on gimpy wheels, whether it be a bum ankle or an injured knee. Yesterday it was made known (as far as I can tell, first by ...

I'm currently working on a post about the recruiting haul, so in the meantime, let's caption this picture of Senator Tressel visiting with super-recruit Seantrel Henderson.

Normally, our in-house rabble rouser Sylvester Yon-Rambo can be found on ESPN.com stirring up fans of opposing teams after another Buckeye beat-down (how many times have you been banned from ESPN, SYR? Five? Six times?) but recently SYR was nothing but civil participating in Adam Rittenburg's weekly B10 chat. We ...

But this business of playing on a Thursday night doesn't feel right. Call me a football snob or purist, but I almost feel that playing Thursday nights is beneath Ohio State.

Flash Thomas is gone, which makes this MotSaG'er sad, because I always thought he could have been our version of Percy Harvin -- fast, versatile, electric. But wherever he ends up, we wish him good luck.
OSU is the unanimous #5. Would you have believed this after the Purdue debacle? I ...

Adam Rittenberg at ESPN.com is reporting that Thaddeus Maximus Gibson will enter the 2010 NFL Draft:
Ohio State defensive end Thaddeus Gibson will forgo his senior season and declare for the NFL draft, according to sources.
Oh well. WWAHG (We will always have Gholston)
Update: It looks like Thad is the only ...

Just kidding! It was just really tough to find anyone with a good picture of Terrelle stonewalling someone with the Stiff Arm of Justice 2.0.
Yes, the Stiff Arm of Justice 2.0 (SAoJ 2.0) made occasional appearances this season, but never was it as in full effect as it was for ...

Last time the Buckeyes were playing in the Rose Bowl, most of the current Buckeyes were in the first or second grade. Hopefully some of them saw one Joe Germaine lead the Buckeyes down the field against Arizona State in one for the ages. We sure would like to see ...

Things are slow around these parts. How about some bullet points?
You've probably seen this already, but it appears that Duron Carter and Robert Rose (oh, the irony) could possibly pull a Reggie Germany and make themselves ineligible for the Rose Bowl. No official word yet.
Finally, SOMEONE gets it right. That ...
