I'm not saying those guys will have osu offers, but it's still very early. I mean, JT didn't even offer Gardner... what's that about? Oh, I know, the next coming of Joe Montana is coming to play for osu.

This is the most baffling thing I have read in a long, long, long time...and I just finished grading some Calculus II exams which covered infinite series, power series, and Taylor Series.

I mean seriously, trust the man who tried to break his contract (buyout) at WVU?

I could care less about WVU. RR left them for a better job with higher pay. You and everyone else on this board do the same thing with your jobs. And lets not pretend RR is the first coach to get out of a contract to go to another school.

But your point was that you would trust Dickwad until you had reason not to.

His actions in leaving WVU are those of an individual that is not trustworthy. He tried to weasel his way out of the terms of his contract. That is a fact.

Actions indicate not trustworthy. Has nothing to do with what I would do, or anyone else on this board, or that Dickwad left for a better (???) job with more pay. There are honorable ways to do things and Dickwad showed no honor in the way he left WVU.

And for the record, about 15 years ago I was offered a better job, with more pay, better benefits, etc.. I fulfilled the terms of my old contract before I took the new position and signed a new contract.

JT didn't even offer Gardner :slappy:? You can flip that to "Is there anyone that Rodriguez HASN'T offered??"

Well, I know it might be incomprehensible to you that coach Tressel didn't offer Gardner but they must have had a reason right? The staff feels very good about their chances with both Nick Montana and Braxton Miller the year after that.

I mean, I know that Nick Montana is no Tate Forcier, but Ohio State has to get by on what they can get, you know?

Maybe someday Ohio State will be able to compete with schools like Tulsa and Florida International and Iowa State for recruits.

Forcier looks to make most of head start on Michigan QB competition

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Tate Forcier realized just how much he has to learn the first time a snapped ball bounced off his hands and onto the ground.

"In high school, you get those slow shotgun snaps," the Michigan freshman quarterback said last week. "These come back like rockets."

After three weeks of spring practice, Forcier has mastered the center-quarterback exchange. Now, he's working on the rest of the offense. Forcier, an early enrollee from San Diego, knows he has been handed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thanks to Steven Threet's transfer and junior Nick Sheridan's tough-luck injury, Forcier has taken most of the first-team snaps this spring. That should give him a head start in the competition to take over the reins of an offense -- and a team -- that has nowhere to go but up.

Forcier, who never lacked confidence as the Scripps Ranch High quarterback or as the co-author of a fascinating Web page that includes scans of his scholarship offer letters, tossed in a dash of humility in an interview last week. He understands that unless he develops on the field, in the meeting room and in the weight room, he won't be taking those first-team snaps come fall. Sheridan, who suffered a non-displaced fracture in his lower right leg last month, will be ready for the start of preseason practice. So will fellow freshman Denard Robinson, a speedster from Deerfield Beach, Fla., who will arrive in Ann Arbor this summer. One of the three will pilot coach Rich Rodriguez's spread offense, and Forcier doesn't want to waste the head start he's getting on the competition this spring.
...
As spring practice has progressed, Forcier has noticed himself becoming more instinctive. He hopes that by August, he'll eliminate any delays caused by over-thinking. Between now and then, Forcier also wants to do something else. He wants to get Barwis-ized.

Strength coach Mike Barwis was a cult hero at West Virginia and quickly has become one in Michigan, and Forcier hopes a summer working with Barwis will make him strong enough to withstand the pounding a quarterback must take in Rodriguez's offense. Forcier, who did very little lifting in high school, already has noticed gains from the two months he spent with Barwis before spring practice began.

"Coach Barwis has definitely showed me a little bit of a different life," Forcier said. "He's doing a great job with it, and I've got to give a lot of credit to him. He's trying to bring me along as fast as he can. ... Coming here, you're [bench-pressing] a 45-pound plate on each side, it's kind of pathetic. He's gotten me a lot stronger."

Let's not get our underwear all in a bunch over this... Let's just call this the new and "improved" definition of "Michigan (yuck) Man" and be done with it.

The vast majority of us don't work under signed contract.
