M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

Yeah, that's bullshit. OSU is better than an SEC team.

That's exactly what the rest of the article says. The SEC wishes it had a big ten team.

No, osu IS an SEC team replete with all of their tawdry scandals, payments to athletes and tons of fringe benefits.

That too. Although it's not limited to the SEC obvi...

What can't go on won't, but OP is right. Look at the cultural poverty on display there. He can't even find some pictures to put on the wall? How small-minded.

Maybe he was putting a swimming pool in? Only God knows what goes on in the mind of a hillbilly.

I see another emergency appendectomy on the horizon.

Better check the PH, that waters looks most unhealthy.

Flooded basements fucking suck. I've lost two of them that way.

Also, if the UM-OSU game is -10 I might take Michigan.

I believe casinos will start posting more "big game" lines by the end of the week. I reckon you'll have your chance.

[iam416]

BTW, OP, totally agree re WRs. Any sane fan would take M's WR corps and current commits over OSU's every day and twice on Sunday.

[Hannibal]

I think that I would take MSU +16 as well. Even with the #1 team that's a hell of a spread to cover against a legit Top 15 or even Top 10 squad.

First Meyer home was flooded, and that fabulous rear projection tv. (have fun with that mold)





Urban Meyer -- who was an assistant for Holtz in 1996


Now Lou Holtz home was hit by lighting, setting his house on fire, destroyed. Nobody hurt....Karma? OP?

[Dr. Strangelove]

At a time like this, it's important to remember the guys that put Michigan in this fine position to win an unprecedented sixteen national championships in a row (playing it conservatively, I know)

Let's salute the Michigan Men that brought you here

Should be another great day for HARBAUGH!!! A day after stealing he best player in a country, JH looks primed to land Kareem and every good player from NJ.

[iam416]

On that front, there's much mystery about George Hill and OSU. He seems like he could, possibly decommit. That would open up a spot for Evans if OSU is interested.

Maurice Clarett become a "motivational speaker" praising an SEC program. For God's sake I hope he had to pay them! truly the apocolypse is upon us!

Ohio State is doing some nice work for its 2017 class. I wouldn't be surprised to see 9 or 10 commits by NLOID for 2016. And if that's the case, I'm guessing OSU's 9-10 kid class will outrank at least 10 classes in the B10 for 2016. If it's in the 13-14 range they may outrank every B10 class for 2016.

But, that's just star-gazing. HARBAUGH!!!

Fruit:

So as to not derail the M recruiting thread, who do you think the best players on Ohio State's football team are?

Athlon lists 10 Buckeyes on its All-America Team (1st through 4th teams): https://athlonsports.com/college-foo...l-america-team

Of those 10, how many would you guess were "under the radar" recruits? I wonder how many of the others were "under the radar"? Given that 3*/2* players make up the vast majority of HS players, the All-America team should be mostly 3* or less kids -- wanna take a bet on that one? LOL.

I think UFM could in with 3* kids, but he wouldn't win the CFP with them and he wouldn't dominate the shit out of the B10 with them. You need talent to be elite.

I really don't get this nonsense that "stars don't matter." The overwhelming evidence is that recruiting rankings are pretty accurate. OVERWHELMING. I understand that it's possible to be good with 3* kids, but I'd argue it's not really possible to have an elite program with 3* kids -- winning year in and year out at a top 10 or better level. I guess Oregon is probably an exception.

Any team that wants to roll the dice with "diamonds in the rough" -- so be it. They might as well concede the B10 to UFM right now.
