Yeah, like Mark Bihl (class of 2002), who wanted to go to Michigan so that he could beat Ohio State every year. How does 1-4 taste, Mark?

Well, if you get to fish in Lake Erie, you rarely, if ever, let out a line in your neighbor's pond.

See, you just proved that we take the only football players from TSUN. There's a reason we've only taken two. We also get the football players from Ohio, you guys can have the rest. Arm tackles ftl. :biggrin:

Let's not go the route of NDC, okay?

Do you really want to crow out loud about Ohio players like Crable and Burgess after the ass-kicking they got year after year from Ohio State running backs?

Beware, beware. There be dragons there.

So, the fact that the state of Michigan doesn't turn out anywhere near the amount of top-level talent that Ohio does is a source of pride for you?

As I always say to my scUM fan brother-in-law and my Spartan fan father-in-law, a Michigan native: If it wasn't for Ohio, they couldn't play football in Michigan.

Oh, and keep an eye on Aaron Gant and Taurian Washington. I look for ward to them making some plays against their former home school.

I think you're exaggerating.

Given a couple hours and my own damn computer (I'm stuck away from home for another two weeks or so) I'd research this more fully. Which I still will probably do. It's my estimation that Ohio does produce more talent than Michigan but it's farfetched to say Michigan "doesn't turn out anywhere near the amount of top-level talent." Keep in mind that OSU has zero in-state competition for its talent. If a guy wants to play close to home at the highest levels, he goes to OSU. If a guy in Michigan wants to play close to home at the highest levels, he has a choice between two schools. If a player in Ohio is sick of hearing all OSU all the time, he goes to Michigan. (We have gotten a few recruits this way.) If a guy in Michigan is sick of hearing all U-M all the time, he goes to MSU. In other words given that we don't have a monopoly on the talent, we have to raid Ohio and other states, while Tressel can simply pluck the low-hanging fruit and not worry that Toledo is gonna compete with him. That's always been my theory, anyway.

Thank goodness. Were there not two M*ch*g*n schools, we might wind up taking more M*ch*g*n players.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round... :p
