Wrong glass, Sir.
So he could spend his senior season holding a clipboard and doing mop up duty? He now has a chance to get to the nfl. Good for him. The college foosball is a mercenary business. Burrow by all accounts worked hard, was a good teammate and never embarrassed the university off the field. He chose to leave because the path to starting at Ohio State had slammed shut on him. I absolutely want to see him do well, and I would absolutely want Tony Accardo's great grandson to plant him into the turf if we meet them in a bowl game. These things aren't inconsistent.

And his early graduation earned him the right to transfer without penalty. Kid has a degree from Ohio State. Wish him nothing but the best.

SoCal, Baby!
Yeah, because I said he did something wrong.
Oh, that's right, I didn't. As I said, I bear Burrow no ill will. Just find it odd that so many people here seem to idolize him. He's someone who made a decision that he thought best for him, but that decision was hardly in the best interests of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Did you all idolize LeBron when he left Cleveland for Miami to advance his self-interest? I don't think so.

Because he is a true Buckeye who gave it his all and wanted nothing more than to be the starter and graduate from here. In most years that would have happened, but he had an injury and an underclassmen that is extremely talented pass him on the depth chart due to an unfortunate circumstance. It's not like some random kid that transferred out after his freshman year before trying to work his way up, or flipped as a recruit. He could have transferred this winter after not being named the starter at that point, but instead stayed and fought his heart out this spring to win the starting job. Haskins barely nudged him out and he had to make the best choice for his future at that point. Selfishly, I wish he would have stayed because having him as a backup would have been a great luxury. But that is a pretty tough thing to expect or even ask, even UFM admitted that.
I wish he would have went anywhere but the SEC, but he made the choice that he felt was best for him. Objectively, he gets to play at a high level of competition at a school that gets a ton of NFL scouts dropping by. If a fan doesn't get that, I don't know what to say. Hoping he has a great season and beats Miami in Week 1 is not tantamount to hoping he takes us down or looks good against us. We are not playing each other this year and if we do, either we had a horrible year, or LSU far exceeded their expectations. Joe is a true Buckeye at heart and I will root for him this year so long as it is not against the Buckeyes, which it likely would not be this year.

Still playing the victim card, I see. No one here "idolizes" him. But it's still OK for tOSU fans to be happy for his potential success, and the even think it's "awesome" that's he has earned the starting spot at a top-name school. And if his decision isn't "in the best interests the Ohio State Buckeyes", so be it. Are you "not happy for him" for those that leave early for the draft? You're weren't happy for Zeke Elliott or Joey Bosa? I mean, their decisions to leave a year were hardly in the Buckeyes' best interest...Yeah, because I said he did something wrong.

Well, he could have transferred to Nebraska and no one could fault him with the family connections there. So that was in the best interest of Ohio State, given the circumstances.

One of my favorite memories in The Shoe was sitting next to his grandma and hearing how excited she was when she was finally able to see him come in as a QB for a short stint. I imagine she ran through a brick wall when she found out he’s a starting QB now.
Knock ‘em dead, Joe!

I don’t have a problem with anything Joe has done. But you will never convince my 90 year old mother of that. She said he should stick with his commitment...she hopes he fails big time.

In what bizarro world is LSU a rival school? Are you struggling to spell competent ? Also, if he went to Ball State, would that somehow make the ethics different to you?
You don't have to like him leaving. Most do not. That doesn't require you to be so bitter and begrudge him for moving on after his team still doesn't want to play him after 4 years and a degree.
That's the same time in a career when it's not controversial to dump a scholarship player.

Taivon Jacobs tried to do that among many others. His reward was being hit sticked by the staff, then Denzel Ward.
