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

[Hannibal]

Sweet. We play them next year. Heh heh.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Where Shiano going, if anywhere?

[iam416]

USF is interested from what I've heard.

Is this the Saban thread? It is? Good...

Saban left MSU 17 years ago. Seventeen. Bill Clinton was in office. Mike Dubose was coach at Bama. LLLoyd Carr was at M. John Cooper was at Ohio State (heh). There was no such thing as a smart phone. "Baby One More Time" was the number one song by the hottest artist in the country, Brittany Spears. We were all posting on CNNSI.

Such ancient history...

But yeah, Talent is right. LSU was more money and it's a great job. Better than most jobs because it's a recruiting hotbed where you have ZERO instate comp. LSU owns Louisiana, with sll due respect to LaTech, Tulane, and UL-L and UL-M. And most importantly to Saban, LSU gave him program control.

"At Michigan State we were never No. 1," Saban said. "It was always Michigan this or that. (In) Ohio it would be Ohio State. In Indiana it's Purdue. Chicago, it's every other school in the Big Ten. In the East it's Penn State. Wherever you go you're looking at someone else when you're recruiting, trying to convince someone you're up there."

That's right Rocky, but don't expect Fruit Loops to respond, (maybe defect).

Before this abandonment... Saban asked in a pouty voice - "Can't we have two good teams in the state of Michigan?"

The answer is no, Harbaugh restoring order in state.

[froot loops]

It was a lot more than that, and I was much closer to the situation than you were, but whatever, this thread is about OSU.

I could have swore it was Mike Price at Bama then...

3 of the top 6 NFL rookies per PFF are early entry Buckeyes: https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...g-nfl-week-14/

UFM could really use those boys against Dabo's unstoppable offensive juggernaut.

Also of note, Conklin makes the top 5 and, apparently, Taylor Decker is coming around for the Lions, making the top 10.

[iam416]

Godspeed, Coach Fickell. And he'll probably take Coach Coombs w/ him.

Recruiting-wise, I'm beginning to think OSU not only has a chance with Marvin Wilson, but may be leading. I still think it's LSU at the end of the day, but great job by UFM and staff.

Tim Beck, for flaws as a QB coach, has recruited the F out of Texas this year, doing better than Herman even did.

And he blew at recruiting at UNL. All about the HC and their expectations

Yeah, I'm almost certain he'd be ask to go elsewhere if his recruiting sucked. I don't think UFM is particuarly happy with the offense. That said, the WRs really aren't that good and Isaiah Prince can't pass block to save his life. Maybe UFM looks at the offense an thinks that they've done a decent job of papering over huge holes. But, I doubt it.

Nonetheless, 3 of the top 6 from Texas with a shout for Marvin Wilson. That's a GREAT haul.

Sickening.

[WM Wolverine]

Texas is going to flip some of those kids on signing day.

[iam416]

Good one.

Though, I do admit that Dobbins could flip....IF Ohio State lands Akers. But that's not happening.
