Oversigning (capacity 25, everyone welcome! maybe)

[TooTall]

So B1G coaches and fans bitch and complain about Urban Meyer recruiting like he's in the SEC, yet Ohio State did not oversign and 3 other B1G teams (plus the domers) did... and by more than 1 player.

The irony is thick on that one.

Especially with the scummers of the world. Granted, they're just pissed Ohio State got Montana (Meyer) , and scUM ended up with Jared Lorenzen (Hoke).

Can someone please remind me what tOSU's scholarship numbers are? The chart from oversigning.com did not add 3 to tOSU to make comparison's direct.

All that we can conclude, based on the chart alone, that we are at most 2 over (since it includes only teams with 85 or above).

 

[jwinslow]

They are dead even at 82. Townsend would've made it 83

I am slowly connecting now with the full horror of the situation.

UFM had a full 13 players less than Saban, and 5 fewer than Joke.

Joke used that to great advantage, by offering Ohio players scholarship with very little evaluation.

Someone has gotta write a book about this: Man Plays Football with 2 Hands Tied Behind his Back.

Brutally mugging someone for vending machine money is beyond comprehension. Doing it while knowing that your coach has to get rid of 10 players is lunacy.

ahhh, good ole Battleship Lorenzen.
i kinda miss that dude.

no one was as good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as he was.

remember 1st time i saw him play in person.
was wondering why their backup center was lined up behind the center. just figured "well it's Kentucky, maybe they don't know any better"

Wasn't there a game not too long ago between UK and LSU, where both teams essentially got a game winning Hail Mary?

Wikipedia entry:

Lorenzen weighed 13 pounds 3 ounces at birth, at the time it was a Kentucky record.

This somehow doesn't even surprise me.

That was my second choice for my original post, but I figured with him in an action shot, going against someone that looks like he's in HS, looked pretty awesome to me.

in '02, Ky kicked a fg with 20sec left to take the lead.
LSU completed a 75yd prayer as time ran out to win it.

Lorenzen doused Ky coach with Gatorade to celebrate the win just before LSU's last snap. Fans rushed the field while ball was in air. half tried to tear down the goal post not knowing we scored on other end of the field.

if I can find the audio clip of the Kentucky radio call i'll post it.
it is awesome! "fans are on the goal post. I don't know why"

unfortunately, video starts just after Lorezen dumps the gatorade.

The Gatorade wasn't even the best part! There was the aborted countdown by the crowd on the play before the Hail Mary (THREE! TWO! ONE! WOOOOOOO! TWO! TWO! TWO!) They set off fireworks DURING the play, and then there's the student's tearing down the goalposts. Most outrageous of all... Nick Saban claims claims he's capable of human feelings in the post-game interview.

Every bit as surreal as the famous Cal-Stanford finish in my IMO.

Here's another video to throw into the mix. Skip to the 7:00 mark for the goodness.

throw n the TV displaying the final score of
Kentucky 30 - LSU 27

the LSU radio call gave credit for the catch to the wrong guy.
he yells "JACK HUNT! JACK HUNT caught it"

even though Jack Hunt was a white defensive back and the ball was caught by a black wide receiver.
