Here is some explanation for the younger ZN audience: Basketball Jones is a song by Cheech and Chong that first appeared on the 1973 album Los Cochinos. Sung in falsetto by Cheech Marin, playing the title character Tyrone Shoelaces, it told the story of Shoelaces' love of basketball. It was a parody of the song "Love Jones" by Brighter Side of Darkness. In the album version, the song was preceded by a mock interview with Jones' basketball coach named "Umgwana Kickbooti," in a parody of a Wide World of Sports interview conducted by a character named "Red Blazer". "Jones", both in the original song and this parody, is slang for "craving" or "addiction". Musicians who appeared on the record included George Harrison, Carole King, Billy Preston, and Tom Scott. The Blossoms and Michelle Phillips (from The Mamas & the Papas) performed vocals as cheerleaders on the track. The song was released as a single in September 1973 and reached #15 in the US charts. It was backed with "Don't Bug Me", also from Los Cochinos. To coincide with the graffiti artwork from the album's cover, both sides of the single feature the Ode label covered with graffiti.

Speaking with TB before the season started, the one "stat" (phase of the game) he was most concerned about was his defense creating turnovers.

I saw the same thing. I agree...thanks DW13.

Totally disagree.

I did an terrible job of keeping track this season. I promise to do better next year. Keep up the good work K92. What a weather year for tailgating!

Great marketing.

First site I went to this morning to check the same. I'll have to ask coach if he thinks WPA talent "is not what it used to be", or are we just missing out. I wonder what coaches TB has spoken to in the area?

Snoop Lion is a coach.

I think the same. I hope it happens.

Even Super Bowl winning coaches lose their mind some times!?!?

I have to evaluate that from the stands to see what the situation is when he is bailing. I'm not celebrating the fact of him leaving the pocket until I get a look at the coverage. Many times QB's get comfortable pulling the ball down and running instead of making the proper read and trusting their ability. I'm not saying that is the case, but you can't judge this from a TV broadcast. I probably won't get to see the coaches film of this one. All in all, it was a successful debut for the youngster. I hope he works hard this offseason.

Took me to a wav file. (Safari on Mac Pro)

I wish it changed the outcome. At the very least they covered (for me), and we have a QB with a big arm for some years. Now build me a defense that can stop...no, that's asking a lot right now, SLOW down the run up the middle.

After 12 whole games? I have heard coach Bowden address your concern more than once on his Monday tv show. Tune in.

Sometimes bad information can be used for good. PS. You can do the same with Chris Berman...if you can stand his voice.

He could have thrown more, but he didn't pick up first downs, so he didn't have a chance. If he did, they would have been batted down at the line, or sailed over Suels head, or fluttered at someones feet.

You can't afford the service, stick with Pomeroy.

College coaches do a lot of erroneous things. I hesitate to make a list.

James better be wearing his Roo Vest!?! The 2002 Ohio State national championship team will be honored on the field during Saturday's game with Michigan, with a huge number of former Buckeyes expected to turn out for the occasion. And the 2012 Buckeyes, most of whom were recruited and coached by Tressel and many of whom still stay in touch with the old coach, are looking forward to it as well. Tressel has indicated his intentions to be part of the reunion. I hope they invite that ref that made the call.

Preferred walk on In some instances, a college coach/recruiter may designate an athlete as a "preferred walk-on" during the scouting process. In this situation, the athlete is assured a spot on the team, but the coach is unable or unwilling to offer a scholarship. BTW, this is from the first site that pops up when you type "preferred walk on football" in google. Here is the first site that pops up when you type "grey shirt football" in google. Grey-shirting: A player that commits to a team and then pays his own way through school for a semester to preserve his eligibility.

So it's useless? Damn, now I have to shred my resignation letter.

Should be able to quit your job and just bet on who Pomeroy picks. Hello easy street.

What? Seriously? I will not be satisfied with a two win season in 2013!

Columbus State football fans are petitioning President Obama to pardon its undefeated football team so it can play in an BCS bowl game (per Jimmy Traina of SI.) The petition got removed today. This gives me a few ideas...
