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

LOL. Not a single OSU OL picked by coaches for 1st or 2nd team. Gotta like UFM winning with his undertalented offense!

[iam416]

How on earth is Shazier not first team by the coaches? LOL. Stats-wise, Mauti isn't even close. Oh well.

Nobody gives a shit what you think.

[entropy]

Heh..

[Dr. Strangelove]

Put an asterisk next to your conference title!!!!!

[THE_WIZARD_]

Why would we do that? You cheated. You weren't there. We won our division. You won yours but you cheated. Your former coach was a cheater.

Al Capone was a rich man too. He died in prison.

DSL did your Conference Title Game or Bowl tickets arrive in the mail yet?

I didn't find this to be too remarkable, until I saw that Omameh ended up first team all Big Ten. How sucky do the guards in the conference have to be for him to be one of the best two?

[iam416]

Heh. Yeah, he's not.

I guess it's possible the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. But, I thought OSU did a really nice job of running the ball this season, and I thought Norwell and Mewhort were particularly good.

Oh well. The offense led the league in points, and the coaches didn't pick a single OSU player for the first team. Just wait until UFM gets some talent!

Another quick (I'd say final, but we know that won't be true) comment on The Game. With Simon tragically out, OSU had to call on some of the pups to play againt M. Adolphus Washington definitely made his prescence felt. Spence played a lot at end. And Schutt saw a decent amount of action. Really, really love that class of DL. Bennett, a sophmore, also played well -- and was about as healthy as he's been all year.

On the recruiting front, OSU's class is going to get a massive shot in the arm at LB. UFM was typically frank in yesterday's press conference when asked about next year's team -- linebacker is an area of real weakness. Hellfire, a fullback that hadn't played that position since high school was a massive upgrade. With only Shazier back, that unit will be the HUGE question mark. Anywho, Ohio State feels very good about landing:

Mike Mitchell: #34 Scout, #32 Rivals, #100 247
Trey Johnson: #80 Rivals

They also like Camren Williams a bunch. It's less than ideal, but that least they're two highly regarded need-based recruits.

Speaking of need-based recruits, James Quick, I think, will be a Buckeye. If Strong bolts from Louisville, it's 100%. Quick and Marshall=big time.

Not sure how the rest of class plays out. I'd almost guarantee Chris Worley from Glenville is in the class (WLB). And Shelton Gibson is in the class if his grades are there. Another burner at WR.

OSU is at 17. I think they could go up to 24-25.

The bonus to Mike Mitchell is his brother is a superstar PF in the class of 2015. Unfortunately, he had a rough knee injury this season, but going into the season, he was a top 5 player on several lists -- and damn near a lock for Coach Matta.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Two words.

Cheat. Er.

[hack]

Buckeyes don't count that high. Could you condense that into something shorter and easier to understand?
