The shocking sports news of the day yesterday came from Ohio State University, who parted ways with longtime basketball coach Thad Matta after an impressive thirteen-year tenure.

Matta cited back issues and other health setbacks for the sudden departure, and he left with one quote of wisdom from a band you may be familiar with.

That is, of course, the famous refrain from “Truckin'” and a perfect summation for Matta’s time at Ohio State which has been full of impossible highs and questionable lows. A long, strange trip indeed.
