Go to the Boeckman thread or 2008 QB discussion. A lot of people like myself took a Vbet because its within the relm of possibility and the odds were 10,000 to 1 iirc.

With the transfer of Henton it just got to be a longer shot but I never actually wanted to collect on it. It would mean TB regressed and became a TO machine which would likely have cost us a game.

Yeah, but this is about Brian Robiskie, not Boeckman.

I know that there is a vbet for Boeckman getting replaced, and trust me I've seen the threads.

But what I'm still not seeing is anyone claiming that Robiskie will have his job taken outside of an injury, like DBB said was being posted.

In several other receivers threads, over the course of the last year, it has been suggested that those receiver would crack the starting line-up. Most recently, two receivers were named as potentially starting "along with Hartline".

If people want to claim they weren't hinting that one or both of the Brian's will be replaced, that's fine.

But they and I both know that they're just backpedaling...

...just like the DB's that will be trying in vain to cover the Brian's.

It would not shock me one bit to see Posey and Stoney starting alongside Hartline in 2009.

Notice how the year is 2009, which is when Brian Robiskie will be in the NFL.

Ohio State football: Brian Robiskie honored again
Posted by Doug Lesmerises
July 09, 2008

"You are never really playing against an opponent. You are playing against yourself, your own highest standards. And when you reach your limits, that is real joy." -- Arthur Ashe

Brian Robiskie smiles after his Council debut.

Trying to get Brian Robiskie to admit he's reaching his standards or pushing his limits is folly. First team Academic All-American, Ohio State's leading receiver, blah, blah, blah - he doesn't buy it.

"I definitely see what you're saying, but I think I'm not even close," Robiskie said Monday. "I'm still that kid who got here four years ago, I'm just a little bit bigger and stronger and I learned a little bit more."

So it was a work in progress honored Monday then. Not before 105,000 fans inside Ohio Stadium, but before about 75 people inside the chambers of the Columbus City Council.

Political resolutions can be worth little more than the paper they're written on. All that "herby resolved" talk can be unsettling. I'm not sure whether Robiskie took his resolution awarded by Councilmen Hearcel Craig and hung it on his fridge or mailed it to his mother, Cynthia, or dropped it on his coffee table.

It was a nice gesture by Craig and humbly accepted by Robiskie, who probably should be enthusiastically embraced by Ohio especially now that his father, Terry, is living in Atlanta and coaching with the Falcons and his mother is staying in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., while Robiskie's youngest brother Kyle finishes his senior year of high school. Since Terry was let go after six seasons with the Browns, Brian, a Chagrin Falls High grad, isn't as Ohio as he used to be.

Brian Robiskie speaks to the Columbus City Council on Monday.

A possible future in politics for the OSU receiver? He turned that down flat.
But this wasn't about Robiskie's latest honor, this resulting from his national standing as one of three male finalists for the Arthur Ashe Sports Scholar of the Year. He is the first Ohio State player so honored in the 15-year history of the award.

A marketing major with a 3.5 GPA, Robiskie arrived on campus in 2005 vowing to graduate in four years and said now that he'll actually finish one quarter early. And while Ohio State encourages players who leave without graduating to return for their degrees, Robiskie's decision to put off the NFL and come back for his senior season had an academic component to it.

"Everybody talks about that you can come back and graduate," Robiskie said just outside the council chambers. "Everybody says that when everyone is trying to get you to leave. But it's got to be different. You have guys who are coming back and some of them are married and they've got kids, and you're going back to college, but it's not the college lifestyle by any means. You're not living it the same way.

"At the end of the day, I'm only going to have one opportunity to come back and try to get this all, to get Academic All-America two years in a row, to try to win a national championship and do it with all of my teammates I came in with. That was the big thing, to stay the course I have planned for myself and just follow through with it."

I was surprised Robiskie didn't get the call to the Big Ten Luncheon.

Jenkins and Laurinaitis are no-brainers to go of the seniors, and I guess you have to go with the senior quarterback over the senior receiver (especially since the media would rather speak with the quarterback).

Still, Robiskie has represented the program well in his four years.

Reports of a shoulder injury for Robiskie

Ohio State football: Robiskie, Terry and O-line notes - Buckeye Blog by The Plain Dealer's Doug Lesmerises - cleveland.com

A few other updates from today:

* Saturday's scrimmage is a major opportunity for players hoping to move up the depth chart, and the wide receivers should have more chances than expected. Leading receiver Brian Robiskie is nursing a shoulder injury and won't take part in he scrimmage. Robiskie previously missed OSU's spring game after knee surgery.

Offensive coordinator Jim Bollman expects Robiskie to be ready for Youngstown State on Aug. 30. "I hope he doesn't miss any games, but that's out of my hands," Bollman said. "I think it's going to be OK in time. We're going to be cautious and smart."
