Michigan's pre-Great War dominance is undisputed, OP.

As is Michigan's post-Truman floundering. 1 split national title in 60+ years. LOL.

Coach No-Titles fits right in.

And, of course, Ohio State 21st Century dominance is also undisputed.

If only Hernandez would have attended Bible Study with Tebow and Meyer....Urbie will never wash the culpability from his blood-stained hands now.




Damn shame Urbie waited to roll out his prestigious "Family Study & Responsible Pistol Management" Program at Ohio A & M....it might have saved his Chollo TE Aaron Hernandez from life imprisonment. Now we will never know.

[iam416]

Man, Ohio State has just crushed you. LOL. I think when they hired what you KNEW and KNOW to be the best coach in CFB is what sent you over the ledge.

Always fun to watch. Well, not really. When you get this desperate it's actually cringe-inducing.

Nothing wrong with the Pickelhaube or the Winged in any era.






I attended a couple of Gator practises at the FAU campus in Boca Raton, even spoke with Meyer. In retrospect damn glad there was a chainlink fence between us, who knows what kind of shit Hernandez may have tried to pull.

There's Tebow hitting the Dirty Mexican right there.


Thankfully there was a shitload of Police on hand.

Hernandez was a bad boy under Urbie's watch:

An impressive list:

From the first linked article, this:

The Urban Meyer era in Gainesville was marred by a long list of varying criminal charges and investigations, as at least 25 of his players were arrested between 2005 and 2010. In 2009, the Sentinel called local defense attorney Huntley Johnson the team's "defensive MVP" for his work in handling a majority of the student-athletes' cases. After taking the Ohio State job in November 2011, Meyer said that the arrests during his time at Florida were “exaggerated."

I'm not wanting this very informative post on the previous thread page by Rocky to slip by anyone. Possibly the most impressive portfolio of criminal activity and arrests under any coach in any sport in the annals of NCAA History!

oiho fans can only hope that the Urban Criminal can top his own record while coaching the buckeyes.

16 > 1.

Lots of news on the OSU recruiting front, but this really isn't the place.

As for the The Prime, affectionately known as "Tripod" by the Ladies, is extremely confident....

Talent wants it both ways.

Vicariously feeding on Meyer's record at Florida while completely ignoring the nefarious underbelly that has tainted and plagued Urbie in Gainesville and now threatens his brief tenure in Columbus, is just plain sad.

Last, the first order of business for OSU’s new President should be to commission an extra large Brig on that “Flagship”, he’s gonna need it......arrests O'Plenty under Captain Meyer!

[Optimus Prime]

Expect Aaron Hernandez to be in shackles very soon to answer for his latest crime.

Simply amazed at how much trouble he was under coach Urban Meyer while at Florida and how AH was failed in fellowship. He may have been allowed to get away with murder in Gainesville but not in Boston, Justice will be served.

Hernandez initially wanted to play at the University of Connecticut, where his father and brother both played, but after Dennis Hernandez's death, Hernandez picked Florida, largely to get away, he told The Hartford Courant at the time.

Hernandez enrolled at Florida in January 2007, two months after turning 17, and trouble soon followed. During his freshman year, before he turned 18, Hernandez was arrested for getting into a fight with a bouncer at an off-campus bar (he received deferred prosecution in that case after being charged as a juvenile), and the Orlando Sentinel reported Hernandez was questioned by Gainesville police about a shooting that injured two men after a Gators game later that fall. Friends from Connecticut were with Hernandez that night, the Sentinel reported.

Hernandez was suspended for the 2008 season opener and later acknowledged the suspension was punishment for testing positive for marijuana.

But by his junior year in Gainesville, Hernandez, his mother and coach Urban Meyer seemed convinced Hernandez' off-field troubles were over. Hernandez was an important part of the Gators' 2008 national championship team, had developed into college football's best tight end (he won the John Mackey Award that year) and was spending time at Meyer's home, sometimes for Bible study. Meyer, it appeared, had become the father figure Hernandez needed.

"When your guy, your idol, your soul is taken from you, how do you deal with that? I just think there's a part of his life that was not there. He needed discipline; he needed someone to talk to," Meyer told USA TODAY Sports in 2009.

For the first time since his father's death, Hernandez finally seemed happy.

"He's my Aaron again," Terri Hernandez said in 2009. "Just now everything's getting better, and it took him three years. I thought I lost him for good. He wasn't the same kid. Now he's back, the same fun-loving Aaron."

Hernandez left Florida after his junior season, but NFL teams weren't convinced he was clear of his past troubles. He fell to the fourth round of the draft in 2010, largely because of concerns about his marijuana use and temperament.

One NFL general manager told USA TODAY Sports recently that Hernandez's scouting file contained multiple red flags, and an official from another team said the character concerns were significant enough for the team to remove Hernandez from its list of draftable players.

Team executives who spoke to USA TODAY Sports did not want to be identified, given the sensitivity of the ongoing homicide investigation.

After the draft, the Boston Globe reported Hernandez had failed multiple drug tests, perhaps as many as six, while at Florida, which led Hernandez to issue a statement admitting to the one failed test that led to the 2008 suspension.

In that statement, which was released through the Patriots, Hernandez said he was as candid as he could possibly be with NFL teams about football and his personal life.

"I regret what happened; I learned from it and will make better decisions going forward," Hernandez said in that 2010 statement.

The Patriots twice decided Hernandez was worth the risk, first when Bill Belichick drafted him in the fourth round and again last year when they offered Hernandez a long-term contract extension that would pay him $40 million through 2018.

3 commitments this week (2 camp offerees). Jamarco Jones set to announce Thursday. And some big in-roads with 2 huge OL recruits.

The dark days continue. Someone wake me from this nightmare.

[Rob F]

What's your take on that QB from Georgia that got (what appears to be) a surprise offer and quickly committed?

[iam416]

He had an offer from Harvard!

I think UFM wanted Deshaun Watson in the worst way, but he loves Chad Morris, and even though Morris isn't long for Clemson, that was his choice. If Morris leaves, game on.

I think Collier was probably his 2b choice. I think they also like Brandon Harris about the same. I think they like Collier more than Barker, Henderson or Kizer.

This seems to be the overall take on Collier -- really smart QB; above-average arm, but no cannon; good mobility, but not great; above average accuracy. Overall, probably on his way to being a 4* QB.

My personal opinion is that UFM doesn't reach for players. And certainly not in June. I think they'd rather take no one than take a QB they don't like. If Herman and UFM like him, I'm happy. Also, QB isn't the focus of this class. It's OL and LB. Jamarco Jones, Damien Prince, a couple JC OL and Raekwon McMillan are the recruits to get really excited about as an OSU fan.

[Rob F]

You seem pretty certain on Jamarco. While what I'm reading says that he's leaning that direction, I don't see anything that makes him more of a certainty for ohio than what I'm seeing for McDowell and Hand for Michigan. Insider info on him, maybe? I guess we'll find out Thursday, like you posted.
