Hey welcome to BP. I'm just a little grumpy from last year.

dover ohio not that ne but still ne with pride

Mind me asking what city in NE Ohio?

Read the forum rules for the recruiting threads. The kind of "crap" the mods want to avoid are untowards criticisms directed at the recruits and their families. Don't be so defensive of the fanbase. I shouldn't need to qualify my comment for you to know that I'm not broad-brushing. There were several "fans" who attack Anzalone on twitter and those who highjacked Dr. Anzalone online physician ratings. It was a cruel response by a rapid portion of the fanbase. I don't need to call anybody out by name because such cowards do things like that anonymously.

The fanbase is large and broad, both geographically and stylistically. But there were Ohio State fans who did those things. And my point remains the same: I seriously doubt the Anzalones will be able to forget about it.

As MDBuckeye pointed out, the post was fine. I'm not sure if you just read it wrong or were being hypersenstive. Quite frankly, I don't care.

I appreciate the rep. I took exception to your presupposing that the Ohio State "fanbase" had harmed A. Anzalone and his family in some way. You, like I do, spend time following recruiting and I think that maybe you've lost sight of just how few of us there really are. The Ohio State fan base is made up of hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people, 99% of whom have never heard of Alex Anzalone. I probably have close to a hundred friends who are Ohio State fans, many of them season ticket holders, and not one of them would ever consider doing anything harmful to a high school kid or his family. If you have firsthand knowledge of someone doing something harmful to the Anzalone's, then please refer to that person by their name. Ohio State is a great school with great, well meaning, hard working people. You used a pretty broad brush to accuse our fan base of something I don't think they're guilty of.
Have a good day. Go Bucks!

I ran at noon. How'd you end up? I really didn't train or anything beforehand, but I was happy with how I ran.

"I do not grunt when I talk. Ehhhhh. Shut. The. Fuck. Up!"

I have been around, lurking, reading, just not commenting. Things are nice here. A move may happen this year. Or not. It's always in flux with visas.

For comparison Jeff Demps ran the 100m in 10.01

Nice.

Grandson made it to the District playing 3rd singles but then he got thrown in with everyone. Somewhat inconsistent and when he goes up against some good he sort of has a defeatist attitude. Central Ohio has some very good players especially juniorsIMO. OSU quality unsure however there is a kid from Cleveland Orange... oh my:)

How did the OHS tourney finish for g-son and his team.
Also was able to track down the 500 and 700, they are not junior but ITF rankings.

Yes, it is.

Trying to sell my house in Zanesville so I don't have to commute to Columbus every day. Hoping to get an offer soon. Beside that misery I have no complaints.

thanks for the info.......I'm right there with you in regards to being fans of players in the NBA, as opposed to fans of teams. Of course, around here that makes me a "frontrunner."......

Impressive. I am sad to say I never got to see any of the older Buckeye greats, since my fandom began in the Tressel era. In 30 years though, I'll be telling those young 'uns about "that Beanie Wells" and the old geezer, Troy Smith

No, not at all actually, haha - it wasn't meant to be a snarky joke. Just a feature I might use for others who... displease... me.

I assume that's the route you were going

Personally = just peachy. Professionally = actively looking for a departure. The PNW is a beautiful place to be and live. When you get the opportunity to come up, then let me know and I'll try to help out all I can. What about you in OH?

Not nearly often as I'd like but I still beat em up on occasion. How are things in the northwest? Plan on making my first trip out there this fall. Can't wait

You still actively playing the trap set?

Orlando is totally land locked and was built in the middle of a swamp, so it gets really damn humid. If you can swing living closer to the coasts (either side) it is better since you have the constant breeze from the ocean.
