OTPCast #10

The OTPCast returns with a vengeance as Edge and I get to all the muck that’s fit to rake. We touch a bit on Quale’s fifth year and the Star Press “breaking” their news, revisiting Kiffin’s Lexus and the Dooley hire at Tennessee, and looking at Brady Hoke and Stan Parrish and the respective successes [...]

Cardinal Senior Send Off: Defense

This is the second of a 2 part series evaluating the losses to graduation that Ball State will face before we get to the incoming players and prospects in our Cardinal Recruiting Series beginning next week. Thanks for your blood, sweat, and tears gentlemen. It’s truly appreciated. The next unit up? The defense. Name: Spain [...]

Cardinal Senior Send Off: Offense

This is the first of a 2 part series evaluating the losses to graduation that Ball State will face before we get to the incoming players and prospects in our Cardinal Recruiting Series beginning next week.

Announcing the OTP/BSUFans Bowl Pick ‘Em Winner

Oh Bowl season… you bring your fancy sponsors, gift bags, and most importantly, a chance to compete against fellow Cardinals fans for the right to claim you are the most all-knowing and wise of the BSU faithful. This year’s Bowl Pick ‘Em, hosted over on Yahoo and cosponsored by Scotty’s Brewhouse, brought out 33 brave [...]

BREAKING: Quale Back For a 5th? Perhaps

For what it’s worth, and when dealing with Facebook it is approximately worth nothing, this popped up yesterday on someone’s news feed (where friends’ statuses are populated) and they sent it along to us: Now… if this is true, and that’s a mighty big “if” at this point, it is remarkably good news for Quale, [...]

Lane Kiffin… Now Hated By ALL SEC Fans

In December of 2008, Lane Kiffin was announced as the latest coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and subsequently became SEC Enemy #1 for 11 of the 12 member institutions’ fanbases. Hell, even the Tennessee fans were mixing their happiness with at least some level of trepidation due largely to Lane’s lack of experience, resume, or [...]

Final Poll Business for 2009

OTP was proud as could be to be a part of two of the blogosphere’s most respected collection of bloggers… the CBS Sports Blogpoll and the SEC Power Poll hosted by TeamSpeadKills. Each week this season we’ve compiled our lists, tried to rationalize who we thought best, and rank accordingly. It was often a collaborative [...]

2009… Get Ready for the History Books

In the words of the Grateful Dead, “What a long strange trip it’s been.” Things lately that are worth talking about… Alabama Brings a Title Back Home: When Nick Saban was hired in 2007, most Crimson Tide fans felt it was only a matter of time until Alabama was celebrating another national championship. The number [...]

Rich Brooks Hangs It Up

While it doesn’t come as a surprise after his post-Bowl 80% declaration, hearing Coach Rich Brooks hang it up for the Cats truly leaves me both sad and inspired. After the Wildcats Bowl loss, coupled with Ball State’s overly disappointing season along with the Holidays, the urge and passion to blog dissipated. Today’s announcement has [...]
