The benefits of old age - a winning record vs. scUM. Since I've been alive: 22-21-2 Games attended: 3-0 ('02, '04, '06) Games where I've watched on TV either in a bar/restaurant, attended a party, or hosted a party: 0-4. Needlesstosay I now will only watch the game either in the 'Shoe or on TV...

Good point... It won't be unique and cutting edge forever. Yeah, he'll cherry pick a few here and there, but I don't see a dominant team unless he gets dominant players all around, which is pretty much true for any system. Then it's talent as much if not more than schematic advantage. At...

It seems that the scUM fans I encounter are just giddy about him because once he gets his offense going he'll put up 70 on everybody and it will be great (for them) to watch. For some reason the bruising, Big Ten, puts-players-in-the-NFL style of Michigan football that at one time had them...

First off, excellent responses, all, from both sides of the fence. When I hear what I heard Saturday it really makes me curious as to what other scUM fans think, and how other Buckeye fans view this. This is more along the lines of how I figured most scUM fans would feel, and probably how I...

Thanks for the insight. That's what I expected from these two - good guys and down-to-earth fans - hence my surprise. I know they're excited to see Rodriguez get his offensive machine rolling, but expected a little more skepticism at this point. I think a factor in their feelings is that they...

Yeah, I know, kind of a dumb question, but I am perplexed by their response. I've seen others on here provide what I think is a much more sensible opinion. Yeah, I thought of this, too. Different player and position. Guess it wasn't worth the pissing match with a relative that I really like...

DRod, best UM hire... ever?? I gotta throw this out there, hopefully to get some of the resident scUM fans' opinions. This weekend the two scUM fans closest to me, my wife's brother and her close friend's husband (Michigan native) were at my house. And to qualify, I consider both of them...

Just for laughs Email from my scUM fan brother-in-law, to which I replied, "Am I supposed to be scared and intimidated, or cry from laughing so hard?" This ought to be fun. Have at it... Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2009 3:49:38 PM Subject: they're coming to get you

I remember that Tressel had established somewhat of a Florida connection when he was at YSU. He had some contacts down there (I don't recall which part or parts of FL) and he used to pull some talented kids out of Florida and somehow talk them into coming up to cold, miserable Y-town. Some of...

I don't know is this has a place in this thread since it is purely rumor. If not, I apologize and delete if necessary. This is from my scUM fan brother-in-law and, if true, it makes sense with respect to Boren leaving. Maybe the local scUM contributors can shed some light. He said this after...

Isn't this a recruiting violation? Not that it will matter, just curious. If tOSU players past and present did that we'd be crucified.

Let's not forget that two of their three Heisman Trophy Winners are from Ohio. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

I hear this a lot from the aforementioned MSU fan - OSU has no in-state competition, which is true. However, his argument is that MSU can't get talent because scUM has the pick of the Michigan litter, and between tOSU, scUM and ND, MSU ends up with the leftovers of the Midwest. That being...

As I always say to my scUM fan brother-in-law and my Spartan fan father-in-law, a Michigan native: If it wasn't for Ohio, they couldn't play football in Michigan. Oh, and keep an eye on Aaron Gant and Taurian Washington. I look for ward to them making some plays against their former home school.

Good to hear - thanks!

Has there been any buzz about other '09 recruits getting offers today? I know that JT has extended offers on past NLOIDs to juniors, but maybe that's changed since juniors seem to be getting them earlier now.

I had pretty much that exact same feeling. I had the pleasure of saying "see, I told you so" quite a few times. I grew up in Struthers, am a YSU alum, and I'm a lifelong Buckeye fan. I've been living in the Columbus area for nearly 15 years and have always said that the Buckeyes needed...
