Cincinnati is Cincinnati. It is a nice place, and they play good football down there. It is not "really" Ohio, though. It's Ohio-Indiana-Catholic-Kentucky. It is its own entity. Kids who go to Ohio State from Cincinnati go there because it is appealing to them compared to other schools. It very rarely has anything to do with being a Buckeye from birth. I think this is especially true for a "transplant" like Martin. The Buckeyes were and are very appealing, but he is, essentially, similar to an OOS recruit.

Good luck to Ben, however I must say I'm very surprised...
UT is horrible academically; if you have a heart beat they will accept you (as long as your check doesn't bounce). Fulmer seems to recruit great talent every year, and seems to lose a couple of games every year. Not sure why Ben wouldn't head down to Florida if he really wants to play in the SEC (better academics, better coach, better weather, etc.)... to each his own I guess...

The AA game has not been good to OSU. It seems that all of the kids torn wind up on the other side.
May be me.

Where does UT rank in the Sec? Easily they're behind Fla,LSU.Aub,Ark,Ga and maybe even with SC,Ala. That puts them in the class of "20-25" nationally. If he is as good as we think he is he should be getting plenty of action as a Freshman. With Gholston, Wilson, Rose he would never make the rotation. So if it came down to PT he made a good decision. Good Luck Ben.

It costs Cincinnati politically also. They get very little from Columbus in comparison to Cleveland, Toledo and Dayton mostly because the politicos don't lobby in Columbus, don't pay attention to state politics, don't seek what they could have.
If Notre Dame is having a good season, that's the team with the photo and story above the fold in the sports section, otherwise it's UC, Miami, Kentucky... Alums have pitched a bitch about it and things change for a couple of weeks and then it's right back to the same old shit. They jump on the bandwagon in 2002 and this year and jump off as soon as they can and they play up every possible negative story.

, but it almost sounds like our guys did or said something that this young man didn't agree with....

With his current body and size there is no way it is responsible to put him on the field of play in the SEC or Big 10 until he has had a year of strength and conditioning. I.e., Martin should redshirt wherever he goes. Were he to have done that at Ohio State he would be in great position for a 2-deep rotation as a redshirt freshman.Onebuckfan;708280; said:
And though I assume Powers is faithfully reporting matters I do not buy the line of it coming down between ND and UT.

Is Ben Martin related to former Tenn QB Tee Martin by any chance? Someone posted this on O-Zone.
