ALWAYS BE ON TIME. My high school basketball coach had a saying: “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late. And if you’re late, that’s unacceptable.”

The punishment for being late was simple but unforgettable. The entire team would run sprints. Then, while everyone else tossed basketballs across the gym, the offender had to chase every ball down, collect them all and return them to the rack.

Mick Marotti has some harsher penalties for Ohio State’s players, according to punter Joe McGuire:



The Buckeyes would be smart to arrive 15 minutes early to every workout or practice — just to be safe. Nobody wants to be late, and even fewer want to end up on Mick Marotti’s bad side. I know I wouldn’t.

THE 26-YARD PUNT. I wasn’t in Austin on Saturday. I don’t know what the press room looked like or how many questions Ohio State’s communications team allowed reporters to ask, but I have to know this: What went into the decision to punt on 4th-and-4 from Texas’ 39-yard line, and how — oh, how? — did the punt travel 26 yards?

The Buckeyes had a 17-point lead. They had an opportunity to keep their foot on Texas’ throat, and instead they handed the ball back to the Longhorns after a 26-yard punt.


That was the moment, for me, when fear set in that we were about to witness another conservative second-half performance from Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. It turned out to be true — for the reasons mentioned above — as Ohio State’s remaining drives ended in a field goal, punt, punt, missed field goal and interception.

Not great, Bob!
