Are those anything like Oompa Loompas?
The o-line that they had recruited so far this year averages 6'5'', 320lbs and these kids havent even gotten into the OSU strength and conditioning program. They are now going to be about 3 deep on the depth chart in linebackers that could start anywhere else in the country, a WR from Michigan who bailed on the wolverinies who is drawing complarisons to Randy Moss's college days (on the field not off the field).
Give Beanie Wells and Brandon Sain an O-line like that in college to run with? Heisman!
We won't even need a great QB but my best bet is that Antonio Henton will be better than Troy Smith.
More than anything I love that he doesn't get the joke.
I got it...however, I choose to ignore ignorance and jokes made from pure jealousy.
Constant jealousness coming from you guys. Cry some more over the success of OSU and their continuous domination of the recruiting game. OSU recruits good players and makes them awesome players (Hawk, Lauranitus, Troy, Gonzo etc). They take awesome players and turn them into 1st rond draft picks and Heisman trophy winners and national title caliber team players.
I can see why you are jealous. You have mediocre QB's who leave a year early, a Coach who has survived off of a previous coach's success, a stadium collapsing before your eyes, a very pitiful tailgaiting experience, a horrible defense, an even more horrible offense and ugly uniforms.
Not too mention your stadium is surrounded absolutely nothing but a Speedway, a ugly golf course, I-75 and an Ohio EPA building on the other side of 75.
it is all crap up your way.
Ahh...but our kids actually go to class and graduate. Didja see the report again this year? 8th time in the last 10 years BG has a 70% or better graduation rate. Where was Ohio Skate? And your house is by the smelliest, dirtiest sewer infested river I've ever had the displeasure of seeing. I'm not jealous at all of all the NCAA infractions committed by those in Columbus. But I am sure proud of BGSU's CLEAN record with the NCAA.
Keep trying to build yourself up, Pooky, by trying to tear down BGSU, YOUR alma mater.
Seriously, why do you hang out here so much? You cry when people rip you or Zero State but you start it all the time. Talk about a complex....is the heat too high in your parents' basement or did they finally say you have to start paying your own ISP bill?
Have a nice day....
who cares about graduation rates. One, it is a flawed system, and athletes at OSU and athletes at BG are playing for two different things.
OSU athletes, especially football and basketball are playing for the NFL. OSU is a stepping stone, a 3 sometimes 4 year internship. They don't graduate because they are leaving early at a high rate to make millions, more than enough to retire on, in the NFL. They do not need school. The graduation rate BS is just one way for the NCAA to try to show it has power, but it is weak and flawed.
BG players are playing for a chance to try out for an NFL team but it is highly unlikely. 98% of BG's players are playing for the free schooling knowing that this is the end of their football careers. They have to go to school to have a chance at a decent job. All schools have their problems BG and OSU are both in the middle of the pack for graduation rates as a total school and for the football programs only. OSU if I remember right was at near 60% for just the football team..with 85% of the white players graduating compared to just about 40 or 45 of the african american players. I remember this because people made a big deal about the racial breakdowns that were done in the reports.
OSU has tremendously improved since Tressell took over. Cooper never gave a damn.
BG is not my alma mater. you have no proof.
