I voted for an 11-1 record this Fall. Like everybody else, I think 12-0 should be attainable. This is the best talent, top to bottom, JT has had since his arrival. Better even than the 14-draft-pick 2002 team he and Coop put together. But I am haunted by the horrible (bordering on ridiculous)...

Alan, my man, you are, as usual, right on the money! If you think back to any great team you've ever seen -- at tOSU, elsewhere in college or the NFL -- the one common denominator is always a great O-line. You simply cannot excel in football if your offense doesn't get blocking and/or pass...

1. With Pittman and Haw, we've got the pair. Now we need the spare: Maurice Wells 2. JT learned last year that when you have a kid who runs at light-speed, you don't keep him on the bench -- especially if he's from Glenville: Jamario O'Neal

The Pittman/Haw duel is great for each of them and great for the team as a whole. Evidently each showed he can run hard, get yards and hold on to the ball when called on. Then, of course, there's the little speed-back who didn't play Sunday, the guy Bill Conley called one of the quickest...

Let's not pollute this good board with a duel of wits between unarmed men. They're both miserable little bags of poison -- leave them in Dixie.

1. Notre Dame -- Knute Rockne, All-American; "winning one for the Gipper"; the Gipper elected President; Ara Parsegian; hiring Ty Willingham; Catholics; Irish; phony reputation for academic excellence; priests all over the campus, like a set from a Frank Capra movie; a golden dome backdrop; the...

I was pretty critical of Daniels' comment the other night, but see now on Bucknut$ that he has reversed his field and claims to have no clue who's going to start the Texas game. No one on the staff has even discussed it. In response to a reporter's softball question, he even implied that it was...

Whoah, Nelly! I may be missing something here, but if true, this could be one of the stupidest coaching comments I've ever heard. Let's hope JT clarifies "what Coach Daniels actually meant to say" in a big hurry. How would you feel if you were Justin Zwick today -- four days into Spring ball...

Mili: Do an autograph-signing session for BuckeyePlanet and have them send the limo for you. You have rock-star status on this board. There must be hundreds of guys who'd pay to meet you -- many of them heterosexual. :pimp:

Just watched the videos. Yikes! After watching the Freshman footage, I thought the Noel Devine comparisons were a little overblown. But after seeing what he did as a Sophomore, I think he compares pretty nicely. The improvement was impressive. I can only imagine how good Bradley will be by his...

I had no intention of saying explicitly or implicitly that the entire board was wrong about Ginn at corner. If I gave that impression, I apologize. What I said, in fact, was that there have been "furious arguments" about the subject -- meaning there were folks who felt passionately on both sides...

All I included in the quote were words spoken by JT at a public press conference. They are Tressel's words, not Bucknuts' or anyone else's. When a public figure speaks to the public media, on the record, his words are in the public domain. No one can copywrite them, claim them as their own...

"Cornerback" Ted Ginn Jr. There have been some furious arguments on this board about the wisdom of using Teddy Ginn at corner this year, a la Chris Gamble. Fortunately, Coach Tressel drove yet another nail in that coffin at his press conference yesterday, proving once again that JT knows a hell...

Just watched the Kirbus - Parris clips on Bucknuts. Wow. I discounted Kirbus somewhat, because QBs always look good on a receiver's clips. All the passes on the tape are completions. But the same is not true of receivers. They all make their catches, of course, but some make them a lot more...

The more I learn about Nate Davis, the more intrigued I become by his potential. And I can't help but remember another three-sport superstar from down on the River. John Havlicek, the All-Ohio football/basketball/baseball star of the Bridgeport H.S. Class of 1958. Hondo. The greatest 6th...

Just to add an additional fact about James (which will only enhance our disappointment if he decides to matriculate at USCum), he is also a pretty good student. The National Football Foundation and the College Hall of Fame named him one of the top scholar/athletes in California last year, to go...

The Texas game will be a Very Big Deal, mediawise. Everybody in America who cares about college football will be watching that game, including all tOSU alumni around the country. JT knows this only too well. Therefore, I predict he'll start Zwick. The pre-game segment by the ABC announcers...

Welcome back, AD! We were all pulling for you and are excited about your future now that you're back where you belong. Unfortunately, you now know what it feels like to be separated from your team and forced to put your dreams on hold. But you can use that experience in a very positive way...

How's Haw? Anybody have any skinny on how Eric Haw is performing in workouts and drills this month? We've had this big-body speed-merchant wrapped up in the cellar like a choice bottle of wine. I hope that when we uncork him this Fall he lives up to his potential. We'll get a clue, I...

Notre Dame Chief: You think we're not respected nationally? Fine, that's your opinion. But at least nobody's laughing at us.
