Orhian was replaced for a reason though early in the year. Moeller hasn't been the same this year either. You cap that off with Bryant/Barnett/Howard who look a little lost in coverage and you just don't have the secondary we've had in the past. I just don't buy the excuse that had we been healthy on defense we would've been that much better from a wins loss standpoint. I guess it couldn't hurt but again every team just isn't that healthy right now. They did what they could but I for one won't throw out excuses for just not getting the job done.

They're starters for a reason, and they were either missing or playing hurt. Whether or not they're better than players we've had before is irrelevant.

I think what he is saying also is it does not matter if those guys were injured or not. Those guys are not game changers and I don't think them being 100% would have made much of a difference.

Shazier is a LOT better than the courageous wounded warrior that finished the game.

Bryant is a lot better than Domicone, and Johnson is certainly an upgrade.

Sweat is much better than Klein and Sabino, which he could've subbed for without the dislocated elbow.

You nailed it.

Also you have linebackers who just aren't that explosive right now. I love Shazier, I like Klien against the run against not so much in coverage, and we will see on the other young guys. Sabino was redshirted for a reason though and while he may improve next year he really struggled all year long getting off blocks and reading any sort of misdirection, I fear he may be one that the light just never comes on for.

I'd like to say though for Sweat that he did a great job all year leading as best as he could. He may not be the most talented Linebacker we've had but he showed heart and he never wavered all year. Best Wishes to you going forward Sweat.

My younger cousin's in Libbey High and is going to be deciding on a College soon. He was born and bred a Buckeye. But now he's saying stuff about how good _ichigan's airplane department is and bull[Mark May] about how _ichigan's academics are better etc. wtf the Wright brothers didn't come from [censored]ing _ichigan!?![/i]

If he wants to go into Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering...Georgia Tech is higher rated & is $10K a year cheaper.

Purdue & Illinois are about the same & are also $10K a year cheaper.

Maryland & Texas are also in the same ball park & are $20K a year cheaper.

If he gets accepted to MIT or CalTech...it's a no brainer. Every other school should take a back seat. CalTech's connections with the JPL are invaluable.

At Stanford undergrad aerospace is a concentration in general engineering but it's designed to funnel you into the postgraduate program and is top rate (CalTech is actually set up the same way).

Embry Riddle is undergrad only but is a very good BS program.

There's always Annapolis but if he's considering the TSUN he's probably too much of a douche to handle it. Then again that probably opens up the door to the Air Force Academy. Is your cousin rapey? If so he'll fit right in.

I try knocking some sense into the guy and say look TOSU has the best academics in the B1G then he said that Washington only came here because he knew he couldnt cut it in classes in tsun.

Explain to him that the vast majority of students at TSUN are there because they 'couldn't cut it' at good east coast schools. If he wants to hang out with a bunch of pretentious NE douche bags with entitlement issues...more power to him. Some people actually want to go to school for four years where there are no hot women.


I work in the industry and take it for what it's worth but I've never met a single engineer from TSUN worth a shit....and I've worked with lots of good engineers from lots of schools.

Ugh. What a shitty week. First my wife and I are in an accident Monday night and hospitalized, and now this. I got out Tues with a bruised spleen, whiplash, and soreness; she has a broken leg and they are still looking at her neck :(.

Forgot all about the game until this morning and watched it from the hospital, which was good in case I had a clot or gameday meltdown :biggrin:
I thought the game was over at 1st and goal with 2 minutes left, but Michigan was trying to emulate Sparty and set up a big Buckeye upset in the last minute, but what the hell??? Spiking with :50 on the clock on 3rd down? I have not had the time to read the whole board, but I am sure someone posted a brilliant reason for that.

At least this win for Meatchicken happened now. I can overlook it for such a crappy year. Enjoy your win. Prepare for another decade of losing.

:oh:
