I know the Ohio State QB looks good, but isn't it interesting that these other tOSU QBs aren't doing so hot? Wasn't Devin Brown the backup at Cal this year after not making it at tOSU? And now this guy didn't make it at tOSU and is now also leaving another school. Maybe it's kinda like...

Ok, for anyone thinking this is @MplsGopher, I think the bolded proves otherwise. He's never posted such words like these before. :cool:

Nope. ;)

Things like this are why I come here for news instead of just vanilla newspaper write-ups. That being said, how you knew that....

Lol. I swear that guy has to be dead. No posts at all in 2025? (That being said, if he did pass, my condolences to his loved ones.)

...and you aptly put it in bold font for him. ;)

Yeah, I would. You had a system lots of people loved. Half the teams and their fans got to end the season with a win. Not much arguing about where teams were placed. Now, the one thing a lot of people seem to agree on is that the number of teams needs to change - but they can't even agree on...

Is this another college tradition that's gonna get watered down? Are people gonna start thinking, "well he's walking on Senior Day, but he might be back...." Even something like this where he could play for another team next year and then walk for a second senior day, ay carumba. St. Thomas...

But that Michigan team that beat tOSU when they were 23.5 pt underdogs wasn't a small G5 team. They were a B1G team with B1G athletes. I guess if you go back to the 2006 season, you had Boise St beating Oklahoma. Ok fine, but it took a handful of miracle plays and overtime. For every game...

I thought some more on this. I think the real difference comes down to, in basketball the smaller/undersized team is pretty much allowed to cross half court uncontested and so they will always get a shot off. It might be a long 3, but if it goes in, they keep it close and can win. In...

They happen all the time IN BASKETBALL. They happen almost never in football when the dominant team has time off to prepare.

Yeah, but the point me and @Ope3 are trying to make is that it was more fun when those teams were already eliminated because by mid November you always, always knew who the best 3-4 were. So then those "15-20" like you mention were just jockeying for a better bowl. Some of us loved that...

It depends on perspective. I don't like the fact that those two teams are even allowed to compete for the national championship. Alabama has THREE loses for crying out loud. I would much rather watch a random bowl game than a 3 loss Alabama team compete for another championship. Watching...

1. The Texas/tOSU game at the start of the season had significantly less meaning than it would have had 10-15 years ago. The loser of that game would have needed to run the table and get some luck in order to compete for the national championship. Now it's more like a mulligan for the loser...

Man. when it's all said and done, seems like all they will have gotten is their 15 minutes of fame and a retired #2 jersey.
