Do they even use the whole hat thing on ESPN. Isn't that an AA game thing? Plus, who the heck would see him loading his bag with hats outside of people that live in his home . Sure seems far fetched to me.

Yes they still do the hat thing, sounds odd but 2 years ago they did it with Chris Leak and last year also, name escapes me but he was a DE from NJ that ended up choosing Florida.

derrick williams announced in December on ESPNews and he used hats. Expect ESPNews to go to 3 commercial breaks between introducing him and him actually pulling a hat out. They milk it for all it's worth.

FYI, I don't believe the 2 hat story, but it was posted

At this point....at you can say is good luck to Jason wherever he goes. Today is a great day for the Gwaltney household, I'm sure. The kid really owes us nothing and if he goes elsewhere, which is what the signs are pointing to anyway, I'd be routing for him on Saturdays b/c he is one hell of a football player.

Well since we are overanalyzing this let me ask everyone a question. Most of us don't realistically expect JG to annouce OSU as his choice. However is there still a very small part of you that is holding out hope for OSU? Come on admit it, I'm still hopeful. I won't go nuclear if he doesn't pick the bucks, but I am still somewhat hopeful.

Why am I paying such attention to all of this crap??? I have been telling myself for the past month that JG is icing on top of the cake, he is going to USC... no way OSU. But I can't pull away!!!!

I believe he has been playing the media the whole time and enjoying every minute of it. So almost every story out there could be true, but the problem is it might have been true for only the minute he was saying it.

Thank god I don't have ESPNews or else I would be running home grabbing some pizza to watch this mess. But now I will just rush home get back online and welcome the end of the world as Bucknuts explodes no matter what happens.

This is another freaking reason I just love the Buckeyes... and why I loved every heart attack I suffered during the National Championship game 2 years ago. :biggrin:

The best analogy I can think of is...

It is like that car wreck on the side of the highway...you know it is bad, but you allways look..........we all feel it is largely likely that nothing good will come of it for Buckeye fans, yet we have made it this far, that we simply MUST see it all the way to the finish line.

The facts out there say WVU

My gut says USC

My dilluted optimism says OSU

In any event, he seems like a great kid, who will be successful wherever he goes.

so Alan, can this be a new thread dedicated to opinion and odds on Gwaltney coming here? I can't get enough of that.

me neither, and i think what's just as essential is having 43 different people offer up 3-5 paragraphs of why OSU is the best choice for Jason, including tradition, heisman trophy winning tailbacks, 105K screaming fans, etc.......because i'm sure he will base his decision on what's said about OSU on these boards, and i'm sure the coaches forgot to mention these things to him

Jason is furious over the Newsday article and contacted the author who was basically speechless. Gwaltney is adament that he has not reached a decision yet and had to explain that to Coach Tressel who contacted him to see what was going on. According to Jason, everything in the article is bogus.


I believe he has chosen to become a Buckeye based on this qoute. Didn't he once said that he will inform the coaching staff a week prior to his final decision? If he has eliminated OSU, then why would JT call and "see what was going on"??? I believe he already told JT he will be a Buckeye! Notice Petey did not call...may be he already know that Jason is not going there. By the way, the two hats are WVU and OSU. He will pull out the WVU first and say that was his first choice. Then he will pull out the OSU hat and say "My family and I have decided to go with OSU because that is where I feel most comfortable with my education and my football career."...Not facts, just hoping and trying to make sense of something that might not ever make sense;-)
