Am certainly old enough to remember that of which you speak. Also recollect that the catholic schools in Cincy had a pipeline to ND. 'Don't bother recruiting them, they're going to ND'. Never did understand, unless Cincinnati was jealous that Columbus, (by all accounts less cosmopolitan than C'bus) got all the pub. Really never understood (and still don't). Especially since UC was not even in the same galaxy as tOSU. That being said, tOSU did pull some great players out of there, who donned the Scarlet & Gray. And in truth, green is a more powerful color than S&G, and Black (and whatever). Heck, even remember when ND hired a HC from a Cincy HS, who lasted maybe a week and a half (not really). Still, am still perplexed how Watterson, and Pickerington can put more recruits in tOSU ranks than the entire Columbus Public School system.
