Brian is a 'character kid' ...like a Chris Spielman. He will become a terrific Buckeye because he will never quit or allow himself to be outworked. If his brother is anything like him, and I'd bet he is, he'll be a great addition next year as well.

Offense, punt and kick returns and some limited nickel. Period. You cannot expect Ginn to play every down, offense and defense, all season without acknowledging: 1) the increased possibility of injury and 2) the unavoidable diminution of speed, strength and stamina on both defense and...

I'm thinking of heading back to Columbus for graduation this year ...so I can see Lydell graduate with my own eyes. You can't be too careful.

I had forgot that Woody laid 'half-a-hundred' on them twice. That's sweet. I hope it gives JT and company something to shoot for.

Remembering Gamble's final season is instructive in this debate. When he was taken off offense to play defense almost exclusively, his ability to help the team fell off tremendously. When you have an athlete with skills in the elite stratosphere, like Ginn and Gamble, you should put them in a...

Agreed, Scarlet. When they start using the "we" word, you know they're hooked up pretty tight.

Haiku for the QB of tOSU From Cleveland came the Man of Troy. At first, second. But now, number one.

Any way you look at it, Kirk Herbstreit is very good for tOSU football program. He co-hosts the most widely viewed college football show in America. He is attractive, articulate and can be very funny. So the average American football fan relates to him very well ...or he wouldn't be on the...

A 100,000+ seat stadium and a high visibility history will attract a so-called 'power' coach and the program will return to glory eventually. But it may not happen for the first coach they hire. When Woody left the game, a lot of OSU folks wanted Lou Holtz, who had wanted tOSU job his entire...

Does Lydell have incriminating photos... Of JT and Bollman in some sort of compromising, unnatural position? What other reason can there be for this fellow to be on the field? He has just fumbled again, in the scUM State 3rd quarter. This comes about 45 minutes after the network explained...

I'm going to have to join a twelve-step program or something to stop clicking on this thread. I am developing a serious obsession with Snoop Stewart, with all the classic signs of addiction. If JT doesn't land this kid, I'll probably have to be checked into a padded room.

The problem with this offense is obvious -- it's a combination of a very weak offensive line and defensive offensive coaching. The problem with the line is probably not addressable through coaching. We simply don't have the talent this year. When was the last time you remember a walk-on...

I've been ridiculed by some here for obsessively promoting the idea that tOSU should try to become the dominant recruiting power in the Northeastern U.S. With Penn State in the crapper, we are the closest perennial national power to the high schools in New York, New Jersey, eastern PA and New...

I'm not much of a gambler, but I'd be willing to bet on this one that, three years from now, people will be talking about retiring #7 to honor Teddy Ginn. I believe he can be the next OSU Heisman winner.

Avluey: Please read posts carefully before you start mouthing off about them -- even if you have to read them two or three times. 1. No one suggested here that Teddy Ginn was the answer to the "grand mystery to solving our offensive struggles". This is a thread about Ginn and how best to...

Nutty, Do we know when he'll visit the Shoe? I think he's got Tenn scheduled 11/6th.

I appreciate all the talk about the science of accurate route running, getting separation, QB-WR timing, good hands, etc. etc. etc. But football can be a fairly simple proposition when God hands you someone with Ginn's natural ability and speed. You run the very-easy-to-understand but...

Both Herbie and JT have very tough jobs and they're doing them the best they can. Herbie has to give insightful commentary on college football to a national TV audience every single week. And that commentary has to be credible, week in and week out, or he loses his standing as a...

Whether he's back on the scout squad or dressed on the sidelines as a titular Co-Captain, you can stick a fork in Lydell. He's done. No way is JT going to have every national sportscaster chuckle over the OSU-Co-Captain-at-the-Lap-Dance-Parlor story during every future OSU telecast. To...

My guess is Snoop Stewart and Javon Ringer, with Mo Wells heading to USC. Ironically, I think Ringer's injury could help this become one of tOSU's greatest runningback classes ever. Neither Stewart nor Wells would likely be scared off if Javon committed early to tOSU, because they understand...
