Amazing, and yet many of us are "disappointed" in this season.

Bar=raised. Standards=crazy high. Fans=delusional.

Thanks fellas...what a run it's been!

Outside of Laurinaitis and Jenkins - two of the all-time greats - the Buckeyes aren't really losing much. Most (if not all) of the other seniors will be replaced by a younger player with even more talent. Scary thought for the rest of the Big Ten (and beyond).

That being said, congrats to the seniors for the amazing accomplishments in Columbus over the past 4-6 years.

True, although there's the RB position, where a junior will most likely depart and the difference in talent level should be apparent.

apparent, but not crippling

congratulations to all the seniors, I'm actually one year ahead of them as far as years in school (other than the red shirts) but they made my time at school that much more enjoyable in the fall, so thanks to them for that

The accomplishments of these seniors is simply mind-numbing. And god, for those seniors (esp. lil' Animal and Jenkins, who were pretty much guaranteed top 10 and could have gone top 5) to return for another year... Amazing.
