Then call the group a more accurate "southern DTs" or "elite DTs". I'm tired of acting like anything SEC related is automatically the best of the best no questions asked.

Well southern DT is all I was going for by referencing the SEC (after all, most southern DL stay in the SEC) and the rest was just read in. I don't expect you to keep a running record of posts that are also anti-SEC mantra, but they are extensive.

The sec hyperbole as it of control the day the BTN took off. Much of it was laughable as back in the mid 00s, the B1G had superior offensive speed compared to many of the pedestrian sec offenses not run by urban.
The one area it was not unfounded was the interior linemen. The speed, athleticism and depth of talent in the south is tremendous and present at the middle and lower tier sec schools as well. This isn't exclusive to the sec as plenty of b12 and southern acc schools also enjoy this.
That is what the mouth breathers should have been talking about. Instead the simple minded drivel being spewed and mimicked around the country wrongly landed on the speed positions. Osu was dripping with speed in Jan 07-sep 08 but lacked the physicality it needed, especially on defense. They needed less speed on the interior of their defense and more lunch pail guys. They beat lsu with an old school, plodding front 7 instead of the athletic but young and a bit undersized D that got manhandled for 3-4 YPC every single time.

Simmer down, Francis(es), Jesus. Various teams from the sec have won quite a few NCs lately and, although certain other teams like cryami may have had athletic DLs, these teams (including Urban's UF squads) made it more common to have athletic, attacking defensive lineman. Nobody here is sucking off the sec. Again, Urban said when he got here against whom we would be competing in terms of speed at the skill positions and the athletic levels of the linemen on both sides of the ball. We're finally seeing that across the board rather than at a few spots here and there. That's all anyone is saying.

You are correct. When this stupid obsession with speed and Ohio State started back before the National Title game against Cryami, no one in the Mediot world has bothered to note that the fastest guy on the field that night was Chris Gamble and the photographic evidence shows that Cryami's skill guys were having issues keeping up with Ohio State's.
The thing is, it's really not about physical speed - most human beings are going to be within the same second or so in a 40 yard dash (which is a horribly inaccurate way to judge FOOTBALL speed). The difference is and has always been coaching. If you are taught to play fast, know your keys and trust your system, you won't think. Thinking on the athletic field will slow you down. That, my friends, is the biggest difference over the past decade.

Exactly. The so-called SEC speed disparity is completely bullshit, plain and simple. So is the wide gap of overall talent between the SEC and other confereces...yes, they are the better overall conference right now but it is not like the B1G is playing the NFL when they play the SEC. As @RugbyBuck said, the last thing I would ever want in the world is to try and suck the SEC off. I am just saying one of the few areas we needed to catch up on with the SEC was the DL (mostly interior) and we are well on our way (and probably more than there now imo), which is mostly why I mentioned it with Hill...kid is a monster that can move and disrupt. You find more kids with those attributes in the south than in the north for whatever reason. And while we are at it, the SEC breaks their back to get OL from the Midwest...it is just a regional abnormality mostly.

I was thinking about the players working on Buckeye Grove Friday (landscaping and such) after the Spring Game result.
If Ohio State Football put out for volunteers from the Central Ohio/State of Ohio community to do the same thing and/or help the players do that landscaping work on Buckeye Grove, I think they'd be surprised by the amount of people who would work for free just help out that area (Buckeye Grove).
