But I didn't, so it doesn't
Here's the game the above footage is taken from...MC13 drops 400+ yards and five first half scores on St. Ed's.

Man. MoC.
Going to live on for eternity. That stance in the backfield. That running style. Will never forget.

Every once in awhile I'll catch a glimpse of somebody flashing something that will remind me of MoC. I would swear I saw Elliot show it earlier in the season but...it seems so long ago I can't remember..

Sometimes lucid, mostly confused
MC spoke at my church this last Sunday. My Art Schlichter-driven skepticism aside, Mo seems like he is on a really good track. He was humble, transparent, and articulate. He took full responsibility for his bad choices, and shared how he got from there to here. It was encouraging to see him in a good place.
What he did in that one magical year - it makes me wonder what would have happened if Tressel could have corraled him and kept him eligible for 2 more years. Oh, my good Lord.

Maurice Clarett has found a second life in sharing his first
It was a steamy summer night in College Station, Texas, the evening of June 23, but inside Texas A&M's Bright Football complex, the near triple-digit temperatures were the last thing on anyone's mind. The 100 or so players on the Aggies' roster sat in silence as Coach Kevin Sumlin introduced the guest speaker.
Everyone knew Maurice Clarett's name, and the players who were too young to remember him leading Ohio State to a 2003 BCS National Championship game knew his story. They had all seen the 2013 documentary about his life; the one that chronicled his rise to college football stardom, the fall that landed him in prison, and his rise again.
To make sure there was no confusion about how good Clarett once was, A&M director of player development Mikado Hinson popped in a highlight tape from that 2002 season, showing Clarett gashing Miami on the way to the BCS title.
At that point, there was doubt in the players’ minds that Clarett was in fact a "real dude" (as Hinson had earlier told them), but when he got to the podium to speak, no one was exactly sure what he would say. Most assumed he would talk a little bit about football and maybe urge them not to make the same mistakes he did.
That's exactly how Clarett's speech opened. Then, it became much more complicated.

"People say all the time, 'Do these college students need to be paid?' " Clarett asked aloud. "It's like, that's not the question. The question is, 'Do they need to be educated properly?' That's the bigger question."
Well said, Maurice!

Let the cards fall...
Clarett was the first player that I every saw capture the Horseshoe in the palm of his hand as a freshman. I was always sad for him to see him fall off and never took joy in seeing his demise. With that said, I'm incredibly happy for him and his family that he's spreading his story to so many who need to hear him tell it. I wish him nothing but the best and am rooting heavily for him.

I can hear the "Mau-rice Heis-man" chants booming from behind the ESPN GameDay set plain as yesterday after that Wazzu game.

I want to visit the alternate universe where he kept his head out of his ass for 3 years.....to see both what he could have done for OSU and to see what he'd be like in the NFL.

FoxSports article on Clarett's speech at FSU....
"A lot of y'all need to grow up," Clarett told the Seminoles. "That's the bottom line. What happened to Maurice Clarett in prison was, I needed to grow the f--- up. You had the world in your hands, the NFL in your hands, and you f---ed it up because you want to be a gangsta.
"There's a lot of people in this room that want to be that."
.
.
.
Clarett spoke to FSU about how bad behavior starts at a young age and can destroy a person if they aren't prepared to overcome it. "Coming from a single-parent environment, coming up in the 'hoods, sometimes we're undeveloped," Clarett said. "We're great football players, but we're s--- people. We don't have the skills to perform. Essentially, I was what y'all was: a national champion. How do you go from being Mr. Everything to Mr. Nothing?"
