Do you know more about football? Thought so. Keep carrying Hartline's water though...

Does Art Schlichter? He's got a tree in Buckeye Grove. You gonna take his word on things, too?

Keep acting like this about football knowledge and not about trustworthiness of shitty sources. We'll keep laughing at you.

Actually......why are you even commenting on it? You don't have any gold pants.

You think pointing out that receivers don't block is extremely critical? Starting a fact is a micro-aggression in your eyes?

Kirk Barton has a tree in the Grove and gold pants. Those two guys both know more about football than you.

And that doesn't stop stop Barton from being a lying, scamming, douchebag POS. Just look at the bullshit him and Stickney ( Nevadabuck) pulled by taking an Eleven Warriors copywritten video, removing the watermark, adding their own and passing it off as their own to their gullible paid subscribers. Paying an injured player for intel after they were banned and disassociated from the University. Or skimming money from Buckeyescoop ( plenty of court records on that one) or Barton scamming people who were in his fantasy league. Art Schlicter was an All American who has a tree in the Grove and was one of OSU's best QBs. He's still a scumbag who is in the "Names to never be mentioned again" file. Barton should be right there with him.

If BP publishes a list of buckeyes that can be bashed or cannot be spoken of then cool. Schlicter is on a completely different level and you're being intellectually dishonest with that comparison. Kirk knows football and knows the current program very well. You don't have to like him to admit he has more accurate and insightful takes than random internet posters. Hartline doesn't make his receivers block. That's just a factual statement.

Chris Olave has some gold pants and a tree in Buckeye Grove. Are we allowed to take his opinion on Brian Hartline? Or is he just a water carrier?

It's almost like these metrics you're using are kinda stupid.

You said most people agree Hartline is a better coach than Smith. Did Olave say that? Olave wasn't coached by Smith (but did like him enough to commit to Ohio State with Smith as WR coach) so I'm not sure how that proves your point. Feel free to point me to what your referencing.

You can have a tree.

You can have a podcast.

You can have a resume filled with all sorts of accolades and still be a massive Jack Ass. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

I don't think I said that recently, but let me go on record as saying it now. You know who agrees with me? The NFL.

I'm referencing common sense, because I guarantee you Chris Olave doesn't agree with your batshit insane stance that Hartline sucks.

we might eventually split off the discussion on wr coaching, but I’m not sure that Alford’s thread deserves that much moderation

I would like to see some of the polemics raised to a level more consistent with BP’s usual standards. A couple of common fallacies have crept into the conversation.

The Appeal to Authority fallacy is where you claim a point of view is correct simply because someone said so.

There is a lesser known fallacy where only the expertise of the cited authority is mentioned when the authority in question is known to be dishonest not only in general, but also dishonest in particular about the topic in question (football). This is known as the Give-It-Up-You’re-Embarrassing-Yourself fallacy

So, how does this paragon of football knowledge get this inside information and why would he be doing a podcast instead of coaching somewhere?
Click to expand...

Because 'podcast' has become synonymous with lazy. Everyone and their mother, whom might have an opinion, have a podcast because they all believe and want to be the next city sports radio. Plus they also view it as a path to sponsorships and therefore money (I was approached by a 10 year high school coach who over-heard me during last years NFL draft who all but spelled out that path, word for word) It's creatively and intellectually lazy, where most who speak just like to rant and hear their own voice. VERY few people have words of originality and substance. Because detail and understanding requires time, patience, focus... the latter two the overwhelming majority of society demonstrates little of.

edit: Podcasts are also incredibly easy and accessible. Tends to invite the lowest common denominator as well.

Things that weren’t/aren’t Alford fault: Henderson being injured so often. Day going away from the running game. The o-line unable to open/sustain holes. Michigan making all big ten backs from two stars. Michigan holding the ball throughoutsecond half two years in a row.

what I do wonder about is why Dylan never got on the field when it mattered.
