No, Mike, my snakes are actually not named after Buckeye football players. But I do have a theme for naming them, which is a NASA/space theme. Two of my snakes that I had previously that died of old age were named Titan and Apollo. Two that I have now are Saturn and Comet. My boa Rocky was originally my oldest son's pet but he was gifted to me when my son moved to Houston and couldn't take him with him, and my son had named him.

So that one is your youngest son? If I recall correctly, you brought him with you on your last visit to the Big House for a Spring game. It may have been the Spring Game before R Rod's final season. You and I were interviewed by a reporter from the Free Press, because one was a Michigan fan and one was a OSU fan, and we were sitting together. Our kids got into some good smack talk as well.
It was a very cold day but we had a great time.I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, its usually my ankle

Liney, you remember correctly. That was my youngest son Stephen with me the last time I was at the Big House for the spring game. Great memories.Last edited by Buckeye Paul; August 24, 2016, 10:43 AM.

This year is when it gets interesting. Seven games into this season, Michigan will be 7-0. Meanwhile, Ohio State will be 6-1. A really talented but inexperienced Buckeye team will have a tough loss on the road at highly ranked Oklahoma, while Michigan won't have played anybody of consequence yet. But because Michigan is undefeated, many in the media will be gushing about how Michigan is back, and how they're basically a lock for a playoff spot. That's when reality sets in, because Michigan will lose three of its last five games to the Spartans, Hawkeyes, and Buckeyes, finishing 9-3. No B1G championship game. Another second tier bowl down south against the SEC. Just remember I said all of this to remind you of what is going to happen this season. Dont forget it when you're 7-0 media darlings.Last edited by Buckeye Paul; August 28, 2016, 05:11 PM.

Michigan is not going to lose all 3 to MSU, Iowa and OSU.
They will play at least two teams of consequence early on. Wisconsin and Penn State in successive weeks will be no cake walk. Doesn't matter if they're in AA. Those are going to be two tough games.I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, its usually my ankle

Looks like OSU just lost a promising receiver for the season. Torrance Gibson was suspended from the school (not just the football program). Evidently Urban is upset and disagrees with the suspension.

It's the culture of the campus. Once you're accused of sexual harassment your guilty until proven innocent. Oh well. Lots of depth at WR and Gibson wasn't in the 2-deep.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

And even having said that, the loss will be felt some this year IMO. Not a great deal, but some. He has potential to be a deep threat with size, which OSU may have, but I'm not sure of it.
Edit: Looking back at 2014 stats (2015 isn't as comparable to what I expect from the 2016 passing game as 2014 does, mainly because 2015 had established Zeke), I'd probably adjust my estimated figures above down a little. But the premise still stands.Last edited by BuckLion; August 29, 2016, 11:39 PM.

Yeah, I'm not sure he'll ever play for Ohio State. He can rejoin the team in Winter semester, but we'll see if he makes it.
I'm not worried about WR. Austin Mack is a superstar in the making. I think Victor is pretty close to Mack. Grimes and Lindsey are in the 2-deep from day 1 next season. But, I'd definitely like to see what Gibson can do.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
