Start stocking up on antacids

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

The preseason hype is starting already. So it could be the Big 10 versus the SEC for the third year in a row. Power and speed versus just speed. The good guys versus the bad. 73-16 Tressel versus 72-19 Richt. The Stiff Arm of Justice and Tackling FailTM versus Knowshon Moreno. ...

Once a Buckeye

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I wanted to highlight a couple articles that have piqued my interested lately. The first is a little bit old, but it was ESPN's first mock draft for the NBA that had the Cavaliers somehow ending up with Kosta Koufos (h/t The Sports Diva Magazine). I think Kosta will eventually ...

Congrats, Big Guy!

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

All of us (including you, our faithful readers and fellow Gholston man-crushers) at the Men of the Scarlet and Gray congratulate Vernon Gholston on his selection as the 6th pick in the 2008 NFL draft, traveling down the Columbus -- East Rutherford pipeline.

Spring rumblings

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

OSU's offensive line has been hit with injuries... veterans Steve Rehring and Ben Person have been assigned no-contact status and will not be seen in the spring game. Superstar frosh Mike Adams has been sidelined with an injury as well. Just as we were sharpening our pencils to tease Wolverine fans ...

Speaking of chafing…

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

That sound you hear is the sound of a million groans as Jason Bourne Justin Boren considers transferring Ohio State. (On a side note, and not to jinx ourselves, but we Buckeye Fans are setting ourselves up for a major Schadenfreude-laden fall if (and that's a mighty big freaking IF) things ...

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, ...

It’s a boy!!

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

JEANNETTE, PA -- OSU football coach Jim Tressel gave birth to a healthy, 6'6", 235 lb., 4.4 forty-runnin', dual threat quarterback this morning. Dad and baby are doing fine. Paternity tests have confirmed that Rich "Enrod" Rodriguez was not the father as had previously been alleged. Link

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) ...

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 ...

Hey everyone!

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Remember me? I'm still around and I still totally don't want any attention. I'm trying (but not really all that much) to win a basketball championship here. Can't you see how not interested I am in talking about football? Sure. Anyway, the Plain Dealer has an article about the Chosen One's ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Class Act to the very end.

Monday, January 14th, 2008

We haven't been following the recent NFL draft declarations and transfer goings-on (hit up 11W for that) but we definitely feel moved to wish MotSaG's el Kaiser's man-crush-4-life, Vernon Gholston, some well deserved love. First, just read this quote from the Dispatch last week: "As a son and as a man, it ...

That noise you hear is Pete Carroll’s knees knocking…

Monday, January 14th, 2008

OSU's Little Animal, the 2006 Nagurski and 2007 Butkus Award winner, has decided to return. "I'm having too much fun at Ohio State... Money can't give you this experience, especially your senior season with the way this season could go." Word is that A.J. Hawk gave the young man some good advice. ...

Weak, pathetic Colts embarrass themselves; division

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

The Colts are finally being exposed as an overrated team that doesn't deserve to compete for the title. I mean, losing to a team with more losses than you? How pathetic. Sure, they've won a Super Bowl title and competed in multiple AFC championship games over the past few years, but ...
