When I Googled 'JT Barrett' this morning, the first article was entitled, "JT Barrett's future as a male model."

I kid you not

Wonderful. Then it tells you that the media and fans are obsessed with silly things. Thankfully they do not drive the outcome very much, and this weekend should be one of the few times where Gene will not fully cripple the atmosphere for ad space.

It's absurd to think doing that photoshoot somehow detracts from JT's performance on the field.

The pain of the Troy Smith Heisman fete(s) is too fresh in my mind not to empathize with her concern to some degree.

I can see the other side too but we all get worried about all kinds of stupid stuff as it relates to the Buckeyes.

Troy wasn't stopping for a photo in the WHAC. He was being wined and dined all over and being told how awesome he is, fattening him up physically and emotionally.

JT is being told he did a good job wearing a football uniform.

So if the creative team had published 1 photo and you weren't sure if it was JT or not, would you feel better?
Hoke teams had a lot of great practices. So did young WRs who drew rave reviews from Urban only to not play all year.


I'd be more concerned if Ed and Tim were doing photo shoots. That would be offensive on multiple levels and much more likely to disrupt the offensive effort this weekend.

Need more reasons? Ok...

1) You're not his mother
2) You have no idea when the photos were taken or how long they took. Sammy is not staging daily photo shoots for his epic edits. He has a treasure trove of source pics, many of which were photographed before the season.
3) JT is a pretty disciplined leader, I sincerely doubt this is going to disrupt anything and if it did, I guarantee he'd find a way to get the reps/lifting/film/etc in.
4) JT is allowed to have a life. That includes dishes, social media, video game and ladies.

Whoa. Didn't mean to suggest any of those things. I just meant, I'm nervous about the game and feel that we're being bombarded with every aspect of the throwback uniforms.

When I said, I don't want ANYTHING distracting them, what I meant was silly things like media hype (aka..articles about JT's male model status).

Not even pretending to be Barrett's Mom, but wouldn't mind being the mother of his babies (I think my husband would approve).
