Defending Ohio State doesn't make you a loser, acting like you're in a "war of words" with somebody and that somehow if you don't win this "war" then the world will be over does. Referring to it as such and declaring yourself "the winner" also helps.

Whatever boss.

When somebody (G-force) can't think of anything better to say than to call me a dumbass, I'd say that is a war of words that you seem to think didn't exist. I bet you G-force perceived the same war of words I did. I know he did because he resorted to trash. Trash that you saw fit not to check him on. I wasn't the one to default to name calling. First he calls me a dumbass and then when I try to call him on it and let him no that that isn't how you win anybody over here on Buckeye Planet I get you, a Moderator no less, calling me a loser. Like I said before. That's extremely piss poor.

Now, come on back with your last word (you know you have to have it) and let's be done with this nonfootball distraction because as I said before I'm trying to surrender here. You can let this die anytime now!

Peace.

I hate when people say that...mods are unpaid, usually only hear feedback when its negative, and take a bunch of garbage for no real reason.

We are all participants of this board before anything else.

Defend, debate, and even fight...but don't stoop down to the "shaming" BS.

So who will be OSU's best defensive player this year? Who's the guy we (and the rest of the teams) need to worry about the most?

By the way, every time I try to post it asks me to login again for some reason. Way to make it difficult for opposing fans to post. :biggrin:

Like others have said our defense isn't really going to be about individual stardom, but more of a team unit that works well together. That being said, Quinn Pitcock is probably our best returning starter and is thought by many to be an all-conference lock and possible all-american. A guy to watch out for who really has the potential to be great in replacing a guy who used to be a pretty good player... I think his name was A.J. Hawk or something like that :wink2: .

I would say LB Marcus Freeman. He should be really special. I believe he can elevate to the same level as Hawk and Carpenter when it's all said and done. Pitcock and Patterson are really solid too but DT's aren't going to lead the team in tackles. What they will do is ensure we are once again stout against the run. I think DE Lawrence Wilson will break out and elevate to star status as well as CB Malcolm Jenkins. I'd also like to see a big year from LB John Kerr. He's been road blocked for a while but he'll get his chance now. There is plenty of help coming up. It should be an interesting year watching this defense grow up.

Go Bucks!!!

Quit making yourself out to be some sort of martyr. You keep repeating the same crap, over and over and over. We've all seen your claim that NIU "puts a scare" into BCS team, and we've seen post the same list more than once. This thread has become nothing more than your little penis-envy statement thread on how you demand NIU be respected. News flash, we don't have to respect NIU or any other mid-level MAC team. We don't care that you're 1-7 against the last BCS teams you've played, regardless of how close a couple of the scores may have been. No matter how many times you post it, we're not buying it. If you want to bring some new discussion or observations into the thread, then fine. You've made a few good posts on team, giving specifics on players other than Wolfe and how they could impact the game...that's great. But rehashing the same "Wolfe is great" and "We scare BCS teams" over and over and over is not. Keep in mind that you're a guest here...

Don't keep asking me the same questions, and I won't keep giving the same answers.

OK, here's a question for you. Wolfe is your best weapon, but you guys haven't been able to beat MAC teams even when he plays great. Considering the fact that we'll be keying on him, how do you expect your offense to put up enough points (I'd say 25+) to win?

Optomism is great, but you may never have a LB as good as AJ Hawk ever again.
