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

In a move that will only surprise OP, Mike Stoops will return to OU.

Stunning.

[Optimus Prime]

After the Elder publicly chastised the younger in the Press, I guess so.

Net result for Meyer, it was NO then and it's still NO now....stunned.

Meyer to Columbus had legs somewhat but as for the rest, about as accurate as Dewey over Truman.

Last will there be a Bowl Contest wrap up email? Although the Clan Talent road to victory via the use of that mysterious and savvy Autopick function, Team OP finished a respectable 3rd & 7th out of a field of 30...which means?

[iam416]

I'll get a wrap-up email out tonight or tomorrow. I forget what the payouts are.

[Optimus Prime]

I have NO idea, my little brother asked me. As for me, on to next season!

[Optimus Prime]

Well it didn't take long, apparently Urban Meyer is made "sick to his stomach" when he watches his players workout?!? Second thoughts Urbbie?

Interesting use of quotation marks.

Anywho, OVs/Visits this weekend:

Davonte Neal
Joey O'Conner
David Perkins
Tyler Decker

In the class of 2013 (with way too premature 247 rank in parens)

Robert Foster (14)
Logan Tuley-Tillman (38 ) (osu 'insiders' seem to feel he'll end up at M)
E.J. Levenberry (22)

Also of note, Armani Reeves has an OV next weekend and will be visiting with Camren Williams. Cam, from what I've read, is a Buckeye.

Though, TBH, I'm having a hard time figuring out how many more they can take. Dominic Clarke's OVI this week may free up a roster spot, though, IMO, that would be a bit harsh.

Re: Reeves and Williams - from what I've read, if Reeves and Williams are determined to be a "package" deal, there is no way they will end up at Michigan. Michigan wants Reeves, but isn't that impressed with Williams. They won't give a "buddy" scholarship to Williams just to get Reeves. M just doesn't have the space.

M just completely stopped recruiting Perkins. Apparently Perkins is now saying he's more interested on the defensive side of the ball, but Michigan wanted him at RB, so that has likely cooled Michigan on him.

[Clashmore Mike]

Perkins is a head case on top of being an academic liability...too bad because he has alot of potential...but I would bet that he doesn't last two seasons wherever he ends up.

And, oddly enough, Ohio State likes Williams a lot more than Reeves. To each their own.

Yeah, my understanding is that he's a Plan B LB for Ohio State. Hopefully that is the case. I'm a little leery. But, he can play.

[iam416]

Also, of some note, UFM has told Demetrius Cox NOT to visit this weekend. Cox is a top 100 safety. That suggests, to me, that they're full up on DBs, which suggests to me they're planning on taking Reeves.

Either way, I'd be surprised if Williams and Reeves visit Penn State on the 27th. If they do, then I think they'll end up there.

Yours truly (aka Frank Grimes) snuck in with a 2nd place finish....and on the 'booby' prize entry based on my disastrous 24th place finish in the regular season standings to boot!

I'll take it, especially after seeing the payout email today! Whoohoo.

I wish I could blame the autopick, but I finished well behind the 6 points that could have accounted for. SMOLNAR blamed her pregnancy, so I'll blame my new twins for the sleep deprivation that had me picking Clemson! Lost a good chunk of points on that one. Of course, the Okie St/Stanford OT really did me in, too.

Looking forward to next year already.

[iam416]

The Fiesta Bowl was quite a swing. You would have beat her if the TD stood or if Okie State tried to score a TD from the 6 inch line instead of taking a knee. Not sure if anyone would have passed you -- don't know how much you had on that game.

[Paul L]

Yours truly (aka Frank Grimes).

"Or Grimey, as he liked to be called."

Love that one!

[lionrawr]

woah

I consider myself a pretty big lions fan, but also a pretty big Ohio State fan...

I think I'll have some interesting discussions in this forum lol

[iam416]

Hmmmmmm
