Awesome. Can I check in with you on what I actually mean when I say things from now on? Obviously you know more than I do. Or do you share that with Thump? Can I get a schedule on when I should check in with who? It's really confusing to think you mean one thing, but then have it explained what I actually meant.

Thank you so much for doing this for me, by the way. Not a lot of people get to have this service of being told what you actually meant. I can see how it will be helpful down the road.

Well I'm glad we have that behind us now .....

This is obviously a loud and entrenched part of your approach here. And not just because it happened for a large portion of the off-season. The tone is alive and well.

"How is this attributed to him?"

That's not nuanced. That's not saying, interesting, expand on that a bit so I can see things from your side, which is what you apparently meant to type but did the opposite.

It's not even asking if we're getting ahead of ourselves getting too optimistic before the tougher opponents arrive.

We'd all love to be wrong and have our feared weaknesses become thriving strengths.

I'm not here to claim Arthur is a savant. I'm just explaining what you actually typed.

. I want this to be a good hire. I want to like the guy. I want to be wrong like I was about Patricia. So I ask a question. And I get a bunch of bullshit in response..

I can't say enough that I fucking hate, fucking HATE, 2-3-2. It should be 2-2-1-1-1. Because now, we can't throw Big Rig twice at home. Yes, we could "close out the series at home" but only by winning 3 straight, which is not at all likely against a solid team with goblins at the back of the bullpen like the Rays have. So we will get Big Rig only twice in this series, and once will potentially be a closeout game, but on the road instead of here where he gets the crowds in a frenzy like Game 5 was.

Needless to say, his start in Game 3 is a must win.

Per Chad Simmons Miami leads for Brysen Wright, Asher Ghioto, and also got predicted to land the top OT in the class yesterday. I guess we weren’t expecting to get either of the first two but still interesting.

As of the beginning of this month, Texas A&M’s insider said Ohio State is still the team with the buzz for Casey Barner behind the scenes. He said the same for Braylon Clark.
I think Georgia wisely knows this which is why they accepted a commitment from Nick Carroll.

Right now I’d say we get Nash and Barner. Not sure if we will take a third.

Penn State reported a month or so ago that they felt Brandon Murphy was also leaning Ohio State. If they take 3, my guess is it is Barner, and 2 of 3 of Flowers, Murphy and Nash.

Hey, that's a Stargate! Don't you go sending Chase Herbstreit through a Stargate. But if you must, at least send him with some golden retrievers.

Ohio State is also trending up for Jalen Flowers, Texas and Oklahoma were thought to be the leaders but have both fallen behind others.
Anyone we pair with Casey Barner is just icing on the cake.

Sounds like UGA has the slight lead for Gaige Weddle per Adam Gorney. I’d gladly let him go there if that means we get Casey Barner

So he's calling the score with 30 seconds left plays? Interesting that he brought those with him, but he chose not to call them while with the Steelers.

It's almost like this isn't the NFL. Which is why Will Howard is a college legend, and probably won't play a lick for the Steelers.

How is this attributed to him?

For the same reason that you'd be all over him if/when the results bear out the opposite.

The leaders get the blame and the scorn. Ryan gets more than Arthur.



This is not remotely complicated. People dared to say something nice about a buckeye coach turning things around on offense, and you took offense to that approach.

Why is this so personal to you? That's a great question, and what @Thump was getting at. But it sure is.


You're demanding nuanced dialogue and measured responses after scoffing at the idea of him deserving any credit here. It's not confusing in the slightest.


You want to keep him in the pittsburgh box. He might fail or thrive here, but it won't have anything to do with a professional league flooded with benchwarmers that are so talented that almost any of them transferring to OSU tomorrow would transform any unit on this buckeye team. It will be because of how he deploys these incomplete rosters against the other flawed ones at other schools.

Jeremiah has sort of ruined the normal WR procession. Normally, even when you are a 5 star like Henry, you have to pay your dues before you make plays. Jeremiah, it was like OK, week 1 freshman, you are our best player

Day may have a quandry this off season. Bowen is a great recruiter but the coaching leaves a lot to be desired.

The blocking needs to get better.

Maybe better recruits will show something. Not sure.
