Denzel had a nice career, good corner. He’s decided to move on good luck.. I don’t follow Denzel Ward anymore than I follow Mike Weber. I would not know them if they weren’t Buckeyes. I follow tOSU ...some Buckeyes stand out more than others on and off the field. Archie exemplary person and Art Sclhlicter awful. The thousands that have played since I started watching mostly remain anonymous after their tOSU career.

Instead of focusing on one game he didn't play, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to remember all the games he did? The hit against UMD, the pick against Bucky, the guys he locked down all year.....dwell on the good, not the "bad"....

You mean the guy who was 3-0 in The Game, a B1G Champion, who will have a tree in Buckeye grove and soon be a 1st round draft pick? A guy who will continue to give back to the University and the football team by becoming another member of the walking OSU advertisement of former Buckeyes in the NFL? The guy that might inspire some other future 5 star stud to sign with OSU from the exposure he's about to get on Draft Day?

Nah, let's focus on the fact he chose not to play in one game that the team won anyway because, well, it's all about the team and of course what they owe us as superfans.

Not only that, but hope that same guy also inspires kids from small OH towns to work for their OSU scholarship and beat out nationally ranked guys.

It's funny, I was listening to an OSU podcast a few months ago, and they said that Osu fans were going to play the high and mighty role when it came to other teams' players skipping bowl games, and then disown a Buckeye who did the same. Because somehow the "brotherhood" at Osu is stronger than any other school. Which is complete BS. We all root for a football factory, that's the fact. If you want to root for kids staying in school for 4yrs and being happy about playing football for free though their school makes hundreds of millions off of their backs, then watch D2 or FCS schools.

So the adults shouldn't be punished for doing the same things that kids are chastised for? Gotcha. :roll1:
Gotta love that POV, where the guys getting paid can do what they want, leave schools when they want with no penalty, but a kid transfers and he has to sit a year, if he looks out for his draft stock and sits a game, then fans go after him.

And a top bowl game is only played to pad the pockets of schools and the bowl sponsors, none of them give a good god damn about any of these kids. Fans can chant and pump their fists, but of a kid gets injurd HS forgotten in a blink of an eye and not one fan would pay his future bills, and look out for his financial future if there was an injury. And spare me the insurance BS because they won't pay near what an NFL salary would. Football players go to school for the same reason all kids go to college, to prepare them for their future profession.

I literally just said they should, did you not read what I wrote? I said the coaches should get nailed for leaving early and breaking promises as well. That shit pisses me off just as bad.

And if you see bowl games as a meaningless, then just don't watch college football I guess because there is no reason to even play the season. Just have 7-on-7 scrimmages all year and practice to get ready for the pros if the last game doesn't matter.

Or its a black and white breach of contract/letting your team down. Do they owe message board fans anything? Not really. Do they owe their teammates that have worked with them the last 3-4 years towards a common goal anything? Subjectivity can be pretty evasive depending on how you look at it.

You're not getting it - and being a bit of an ass in the process - but that's a funny word coming from a poster like you. I'm not even criticizing Ward at all, whereas you're playing his "fanboy" role to a tee.

This is not a big deal, but it's still a story that will follow him, in the minds of the people (your "delusional morons") who follow and re-tell these stories over time. To suggest otherwise is just not realistic.

Stop getting worked up @BayBuck . Bowl games do not matter, they are meaningless, and this is all a business :lol:

I am not picking on Denzel and I truly hope he adds to the legacy of great NFL DB's that we have had. Seriously. But to everyone that thinks having an opinion that is contrary to theirs on not playing the final game is subjectively wrong...well, that is your opinion I guess.

My bad, didnt see you write that about coaches.
And yes bowl games have a meaning, to line pockets of schools, coaches and sponsors and allow fans one more game to cheer. The ridiculous number of bowl games has made them next to irrelevant at this point. We can make the Pnut-RB Speedway bowl in Richmond, VA and it'd be as relevant as most of the bowls right now. And no, I don't watch bowls outside of OSU and maybe the CFP. But to each their own
