I remember when many were doubting Laurinaitis after his replacing Bobby at the end of 2005...and now everybody is so happy he is coming back. Way to make a name for yourself in 2 years. Also...props to Mili, because he was giving love to JL well before anybody else was.

Kinda off topic, but do you guys have any idea how many players we are going to have in the nfl draft next year?
Beanie(hope not) Jenkins and Laurinaitis are all top 15 picks. Boone will be a first rounder easily, Freeman could sneak into the 1st round as well.
Robo and Boekman are looking to be first day picks. Damn.

Also 2008 team reminds me so much of 2005, so much talent.

James Laurinaitis: "I know I can still improve as a player, and I know there is still much more to me and for the Buckeyes to accomplish."


James Laurinaitis, one of the most decorated linebackers in Ohio State history, announced today he will return for his senior season.
The two-time All-American and winner of the Nagurski Trophy (2006) and Butkus Award (2007) is passing up a chance to be selected in the first 15 picks of the NFL draft, according to most projections.
"I know I can still improve as a player, and I know there is still much more to me and for the Buckeyes to accomplish," Laurinaitis said in a statement. "There are a lot of things that money can't buy, and some of those things are the experiences of a senior season. Going through those things with my teammates next year is what I look forward to the most."
The announcement means OSU will return 18 starters next season. Barring a last-minute change of heart or a big surprise, the only junior to leave early will be defensive end Vernon Gholston.
