QB Justin Zwick (B1G Champion, National Champion)

Mili, totally understand what you mean... i could care less how many people here have the url and check it out.. just when some douche take the url and passes it elsewhere it does get to you a little bit..

anyone know how to redirect traffic to your pages dependant on the referring url?

as for your forum, that thing rocks... but I would probably close it down to people who have reached a certain point, either ask to join a la the Romper Room, or by invite when they get x amount of rep or posts or something...

Asking to join ala RR would be a major pain in the ass, because everyone would want in, and with over 3,000 members now, that's not really feasible. Right now, if I'm not mistaken, the forum is open only to registered members, which is fine by me as long as I don't break my bandwidth (which I think I'll be OK, as long as I can keep access limited to originating from here).

As for locking down access to specific URLs, I saw something in my site administration features which leads me to believe I can do that. If so, then any request that is not linked directly from "http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=68" will get rejected.

nice, i'm trying to see if I have a similar function saying anything coming from say scout.com or the like gets redirected to a predetermined page... I just don't have a ton of time or energy to do so.... so again, if anyone knows an easy way to do this, let me know.

DCbuck,

Why don't you quit with the childish name calling? If your punk ass would have read down a bit, you would have seen that I got this link from another site...and no it wasn't this site.....I wasn't even registered at this site until yesterday afternoon. I got your clip from the ESPN college football forum. Apparently there is another member posting shit up there all the time. Don't be a dick.....If there was a problem, you should have sent me a message privately and I would have appologized and did whatever it took to fix the situation. I never claimed the clip to be mine and was just sharing another clip to other Buckeye fans. Either way.....

Rest of Buckeye Planet,

I didn't want this to be my first post, but with this DCbuckfan spewing off at the mouth without even confronting me first has me going a bit.

I'm just here to talk OSU football, so please forgive me if my first post is in bad taste. I have talked with some of you through other sites and I hope to get to know some of you and talk some good football.

Thanks,
BDD

childish name calling, well you know, I can do that if you'd like..

let me ask you this... I see in my server's reports that 85% of the traffic to that url comes from bucknut$, I go to that thread and see that you posted it... I also don't see any reffering urls from espn or any other major source (at that time at least, it has since shown up on the-ozone)... what the fuck do you think I am going to assume, that you are innocent in the entire matter?

regardless, please don't pass my urls to other sites, as others have given urls for use on this site, as did I. If I truely mistakenly blamed you wrongly, then I appologize.

That said, get over it.. I am not going to not say something about it, and if you don't like it, to freaking bad. As for me being a Punk Ass... harsh words, I think I am crying inside..:roll2:

DC, you might at well take the clip down and save yourself the traffic. Let's keep our clips in-house, and we won't have to put up with this crap.

I was told if zwick doesn't beat out smith in spring practice he is going to transfer to mount union unless smith keeps having grade problems
This "Zwick is going to transfer to Mount Union" rumor was first heard by me Fall of 2002, (that's right 2002) by a recent Mount Union grad who also played on the football team at Mount. Old, old rumor that appears to have no merit since Zwick is still at OSU as of February 2005.

Do you really think that a QB at a powerhouse division I-A football program would transfer all the way down to a division III school?

Better yet, if you were almost 100% guaranteed to start the season opener for that 1A powerhouse, wouldn't you consider transferring instead? :crazy:

Mount cannot offer his a full scholie... he would go to a Div. 1AA and have them pay for his education before he went to a div. 3 school...

No way is he or would he transfer to mount... pipe dream for those that are mount fans....

Zwick is taking a fresh approach

Although I don't get into the Smith vs Zwick debate, I think this is a good article on Zwick's attitude. Article also says Hartline's is coming back fine after is injury. :osu:

Zwick is taking a fresh approach to spring football

Sunday, March 13, 2005 By TODD PORTER

He looked like a starting quarterback again. As a line snaked outside Logan Sporting Goods in North Canton, Ohio State quarterback Justin Zwick signed autographs and chatted with fans.

He smiled a lot. He nodded his head. He posed for pictures.

His confidence, once shaken, is back.

Earning the respect of your teammates on national television and leading Ohio State to a lopsided 33-7 win over Oklahoma States in the Alamo Bowl will do that. Now, the door is open for Zwick to reclaim the starting job.

Fellow redshirt junior Troy Smith likely will be suspended for the opener against Miami (Ohio). Smith admitted violating NCAA rules when he accepted money from an booster.

It wasn’t the first time Smith crossed the line between right and wrong. Head Coach Jim Tressel said reliability is a factor in determining who his starting quarterback will be.

Spring practice starts March 31, and Zwick will begin his final two seasons with a renewed sense of confidence. When Smith took over the starting QB job after Zwick was injured, some fans wondered if the Massillon graduate would transfer.

There were rumors, but Zwick said he had no intention of leaving OSU. In high school, things came easily. This is the first real challenge to his skills.

“Competition is the reason we go to a place like Ohio State,” Zwick said. “You go there to get better. There are players there as good as you are, and they want it just as bad. That competition is good for everybody ... You know you’re going to have to compete to play, so you just saddle up and go with it.”

Zwick, who completed 17-of-27 passes for 189 yards in the Alamo Bowl, admitted last season was tough. He injured his shoulder in a loss at Iowa. Smith then led the Buckeyes to wins over Indiana, Penn State and Michigan State.

By the time Zwick was healthy, Smith was 3-0 as the starter. Smith struggled against Purdue, but then had one of the best days in the storied Ohio State-Michigan series when he had 386 total yards in a win over the Wolverines.

Smith took over a slightly different team than the one Zwick had. By the time Big Ten doormats Indiana and Penn State came around, the offense had matured. Ted Ginn Jr. emerged as a threat on returns and at receiver. The offensive line had come together.

“Any time you’re able to have good experience and win some games, it builds experience and confidence,” Zwick said. “ ... Early on, we had a lot of younger guys in there for the first time, and I was one of them. We started rolling at the end of the year and got our confidence back.”

When Zwick pulled his hamstring in the first quarter of the Alamo Bowl, he wondered if he had a cloud of bad luck hanging over his head.

But with Smith suspended and Tressel not wanting to burn Todd Boeckman’s redshirt season, Zwick played through the pain and earned the respect of his teammates.

“When the hamstring happened, I couldn’t believe it,” Zwick said. “I jogged to the sideline and just wondered, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ It was like there was something wrong that I kept getting hurt. ... People play through pain all the time. It was just something I had to do.”

The team seems to have a renewed sense of confidence in Zwick. During Alamo Bowl preparations, Tressel was impressed with Zwick’s attitude and how he threw the ball.

Zwick knows he will battle all season with Smith and Boeckman for the starting job. He is aware he can’t rest on his position in the depth chart. As quickly as something comes, it can be taken away.

But when spring practice begins, a new Justin Zwick will compete for a starting position.

“Every day, you’re trying to get better, and that has a lot to do with the guys around you,” Zwick said. “It has a lot to do with their confidence in you. What I do affects them, and what they do affects me. Right now, together, we have a lot of momentum.”

Relationship with team

There was a feeling in the middle of last season that Zwick’s relationship with his teammates had soured, particularly on the offensive line.

Judging by the way Zwick and fellow Stark County alums T.J. Downing and Kirk Barton interacted with Zwick during the Logan autograph signings, nothing could be further from the truth.

Hartline’s leg is fine

OSU-bound receiver Brian Hartline is healing well from a broken leg he suffered in the first game of his high school senior season. He had surgery to put a rod in his leg and a second surgery to remove the rod.

Hartline is running indoor track and said his leg is holding up well. In fact, Hartline has the second-fastest time in the state in the 60-meter hurdles and 12th best in the country.

Hartline is one of the favorites to win a state title in hurdles this spring
