11 Warriors excerpt from Brandon's Lasting Lessons
On the 11W site about The Game 2013
Got some pretty frank quotes out of Gardner. Is it me, or is he talking in maybe not the highest terms about Borges? My thoughts on the article were generally "gaaahhhhal;djfoeiBORGESjfaldjjflaev" or something along those lines. Oh well. It's in the past as they say.

Here's the video of that play, for those curious: https://youtu.be/ef_wirsakqc?t=12m36s

Thanks. I've replayed that at least 20,000x since 2013. I imagine any number of ways we could have come out of the timeout with a different play from the same formation. Shit, don't motion The Threat, then run him to the other pylon.

LOL Ohio State blogs. Those morans ran the same story on Michigan TWO DAYS IN A ROW!
OSU fans are so stupid.

The story the OP posts is an excerpt from Bacon's book (and is dated 26AUG15). The story yesterday was more of a book review with choice tidbits.
So I'm not sure that the OP missed the boat here. Not the best write-up, but also not the same 11W story as yesterday.
(I think!)

That's it. It was a book review on LandGrantHolyLand. In any event, this sure looks like a new story to me - and I'm glad to read the excerpt, even while sad to read it because. Well, you know (Borges).

You are right. And I owe the OP an apology and an upvote for my snarky post cause it's new content too.
August 26th, 2015 at 9:25 AM ^
Your core point regarding (many) OSU fans being morans still holds!
I initially made the same assumption, but remembered that yesterday's LGHL article was a book review rather than an excerpt. In any event, cheers to the OP for posting this, even if the following Gardner quote regarding the failed two-point conversion two seasons ago gives me a very big sad:
"I know, I know," he said, with a resigned grin. "They [the Buckeyes] called a time-out and we come back with the same look, the same play. When you see them set up, you knew they were ready for us. I'm pretty sure the only person who didn't know they knew was Al Borges. That's the only way they covered it so well."

No , you're the only moran who hasn't seen this image posted a bazillion times here:

MGoBlog Rule #354:
75% of the people on MGoBlog are smarter than you. Therefore if you read something that you think is unusually stupid . . . it's probably sarcasm.
Your welcome.

Or was that a cleverly-placed trap, and like 75% of mgobloggers you are smarter than me, and I fell straight into it?
August 26th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
Please tell me you didn't.

For all intensive purposes, he did. And he's a pre-madonna too, I bet.

you might say, I was aware, but not fully aware, it was a trap.

I've been following the site since 2008, thanks. Sorry I don't spend 10 hours a day on the blog.

We're just busting your ass.
Screw your job, you should spend more time hanging out with us. We're lot's of fun when we're not being snarky dicks.

your join date and point total somehow. The morans thing is used almost weekly here. Also, what M-Dog said.

Quoting 11W on here is something that is not unheard of, but definitely rare. I'm conflicted as to whether the lack of a link is a good thing or a bad thing.
August 26th, 2015 at 9:10 AM ^
The kid deserved more. What he says about the last play of The Game in 2013 will make you want to give Borges hair and then rip it out.
August 26th, 2015 at 11:39 AM ^
Gardner gave it his all only to have Borges hand them the game in the end or at a minimum, give them an advantage.
August 26th, 2015 at 9:09 AM ^
I'm just happy I'm going to be able to read the entire book before it is released.
August 26th, 2015 at 10:18 AM ^
Because you get a copy or because so many sites are posting pieces from it?
