DSL when you post *poppycock* like that , no doubt you've donned your *magic shoes* again.




If & where Meyer eventually returns to coaching, fear him.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Dark days ahead for Michigan, OP.

Meyer and a crack team recruiting against Flounder? Who do you think will win most of those battles? Next 10 years = the last 10 years for Michigan against THE Ohio State

[Optimus Prime]

If the second 100 years are like the first 100, I'll gladly take it, the most successful college football team in history including dominance over as coach Hoke says, "Ohio".

PS Be careful, if you wear your ruby reds to The Shoe on game day, you'll likely get your lights put out.

Water Tower DSL, Water Tower.

Perpetually crowing about Prohibition-era football: the hallmark of any Michigan Man

Perpetually crowing about Prohibition-era football: the hallmark of any Michigan Man

With a nearly unanimous #1 Recruitment class on the horizon DSL, things look very promising in AA, 8-2 coupled with a knockout punch delivered to Nebraska this afternoon, promising indeed. Imagine the pipe-hitting D squad Mattison that will deliver over the next few years, Christ look what he has done with RR's boys this season!

Say, how's that battle with "Buggery U" gonna go for yah in The Shoe today? Is Deer-in-the-Headlights Fickell going to drop a 5th?

[lineygoblue]

heh ... "cheatin' for championships" ... :-)

[Optimus Prime]

Well DSL, unless he is a pathological liar like Jim tressel, it's a no go at present.

Sources: Ohio St., Urban Meyer talking

ESPN.com
Ohio State has been in contact with Urban Meyer about becoming the school's coach, sources close to the ESPN analyst and the Buckeyes have told ESPN.com.

No contract is in place and no announcement likely would be made until after the regular season, but there is strong interest on both sides.

One potential issue is the impending NCAA infractions committee ruling on Ohio State, which has self-reported two sets of NCAA violations in the past year. Ohio State will meet with the infractions committee in late November or early December.

Meyer said Saturday in the broadcast booth at the Nebraska-Michgican game, where he is working for ESPN, that "there's no truth to that" when asked about reports that he has accepted the Buckeyes' coaching job.

"I know it's that time of year. I've not been offered any job, and I've certainly not accepted any job," he said.

Contacted earlier this week by The AP, Ohio State AD Gene Smith said no deal had been struck with Meyer. Other Ohio State athletic officials also have denied the reports.

The 47-year-old Meyer is an Ohio native. He started his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach for the Buckeyes in 1986.

He resigned as Florida's coach on Dec. 8, 2010, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. Meyer won 104 games and two national championships over 10 years with the Gators, Utah and Bowling Green.

Ohio State promoted Luke Fickell to interim coach nearly six months ago when Jim Tressel resigned in the wake of a tattoo-parlor scandal.

Meyer hasn't said whether he's ready to return to coaching -- anywhere.

"I miss a lot of things about it, but I also am really enjoying another part, that's I get to watch my kids play sports," Meyer said in an AP interview earlier this month.

Next 10 years = the last 10 years for Michigan against THE Ohio State

you mean Ohio is going to continue to violate NCAA rules for the next decade as well?

[Optimus Prime]

Violate rules? Honestly they have bent or broken nearly all of them, took a decade to finally get caught.

Poster child's new motto: At least we're not Penn State.

This was my t-shirt idea. It still hasn't made the presses but I'll share it with you anyway.

[lineygoblue]

Kickoff is 12:00 Noon next Saturday at the corner of Stadium and Main in Ann Arbor.

Don't be late, Schmucknuts.

Who you rootin' for in Penn State - OSU game on now?

Urban Meyer declining comment on speculation about Ohio State

PUBLISHED 3 hours and 41 minutes ago

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Urban Meyer isn't interested in talking publicly about Ohio State, declining comment Saturday morning.

Former Buckeye Chris Spielman is well aware of the building speculation that Meyer will end up leading Ohio State, but said it is just a rumor at this point.

"We were in Bible study last night, he and I were, and it was news to us," Spielman told The Associated Press before he and Meyer worked as ESPN analysts for the Nebraska-Michigan game. "There's no deal."

Meyer himself denied any news, as he said in a statement released through ESPN, "I've not been offered any job and certainly have not accepted any job."

Contacted earlier this week by The AP, Ohio State AD Gene Smith said no deal had been struck with Meyer. Other Ohio State athletic officials have also denied the reports.

The 47-year-old Meyer is an Ohio native. He started his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach for the Buckeyes in 1986.

Ohio State promoted Luke Fickell to interim coach nearly six months ago when Jim Tressel resigned in the wake of a tattoo-parlor scandal.

Meyer hasn't even said if he's ready to return to coaching anywhere.

"I miss a lot of things about it, but I also am really enjoying another part, that's I get to watch my kids play sports," Meyer said in an AP interview earlier this month.

One Internet report said that Meyer has agreed to the job and wants Chris Spielman (Meyer’s fellow commentator at ESPN) and Kirk Herbstreit, among others, on his coaching staff.When Meyer’s name came up in connection with the Penn State job, recently opened by said in a statement last week that he is “very happy with my role at ESPN” and has “no plans to return to coaching at this time.”
