And then, just before the season, people turn on each other and argue about stupid meaningless stuff.

Forest Green. Or Black. Definitely one of those two.
The BIGGER burning question however, is which is better....Carolina or Texas BBQ?

What happened to my ¤cash?
I know that I’m jinxing things when I say this... but recent history of the rumor mill suggests that these types of issues, while they may happen from time to time, are far fewer than what they were under JT. Being in school during the Cooper years... I shudder to think what the mill would have looked like back then. For real.

You kids stay off my lawn!
I thought that anyone who played this year had the option to come back for another year or did the NCAA limit that? I was hoping that Justin Hilliard, who was finally flashing the talent foreseen before his incredible string of bad luck, might get one more year.

With his bad luck he deserves to earn a paycheck and leave OSU with a degree. No sense in risking injury for free anymore

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Finishing No. 122 in the nation in pass defense is never going to be acceptable for the Buckeyes. That’s a simple fact, and nobody is going to argue with it.
But the factors that caused it were historically unique, ridiculously challenging even on a weekly basis and also all incredibly unlikely to all come together at the same time again. The bet that Ryan Day is almost certainly going to make heading into next season is that there wasn’t a whole lot more Coombs could have done to salvage it — so there’s no reason to panic or make sweeping changes.
Ohio State still believes whole-heartedly in Coombs. And when Day weighed all the factors that sunk the secondary a year ago and started making plans to replace retiring co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison, it’s understandable why he wouldn’t jump to a panicky overreaction or potentially feel the need for a splashy hire. The Buckeyes haven’t made anything official at this point, but multiple sources have indicated to Lettermen Row that the emerging favorite is to promote from within and add quality control coach Parker Fleming to the full-time staff while also giving Matt Barnes a larger role with the secondary. If that move does get confirmed, it’s another sign that the Buckeyes are chalking last season up as an anomaly.

Togiai left to pursue his NFL dreams. But Garrett and Jackson both opted to stay in school by utilizing the extra year of eligibility allowed to them by the NCAA. So instead of a questionable depth chart in the middle of the defensive line, the Buckeyes will feature a quartet of upperclassmen – Garrett, Jackson, Jerron Cage and Taron Vincent – to cause havoc in the interior.
