The Ohio State University: The Thread

Thanks Skeet. I just hope Butler's ankle doesn't affect his game.

 

Im off to BW3's for the game....I just wish we were playing UF then atleast I could have some fun with some member's.

Any UMass fans round here??

To those who watch it enjoy the game.

 

Yup can't wait. 1 hour till tip off.

 

Yay we win it!

 

Oh my!!! A championship in Buckeye country!!!

As petty as it may be Im still excited!

 

Way to step it up boys!!!

Thanks Butler for a great career!! Thanks Hunter and Terwilliger for being there day in and day out as well!!

 

Not a bad conselation I guess from losing 4 starters from last years team.....agree thanks to all the senior's enjoy, and make it on time to those interviews with the insurance Co.

 

Signs of good things to come. I can't wait for the season to start. Beanie will be 100% hellooooo Heisman!

 

Congrats on the NIT fellas
I was hoping for a rematch too, but it looks like your team has rebounded better that UF after both teams lost so many guys.

How many starters/key reserves did you lose again? No, I'm not trying to set anyone up for a comparison (UF lost all five starters and their top reserve), because it doesn't really matter. I just know it was significant, and the parallel seemed obvious to me at the time.

Anyhow, congrats.

 

Lost Oden, Connelly, Cook (all 1st rounders) plus Ron Lewis who hit some key buckets in the tourney last year and Ivan Harris who was a bench guy

 

Thanks, Cook is who I was forgetting. That was your team.
I actually think the NIT experience will be good for OSU and UF. Both teams were likely to get bounced pretty early from the NCAA's. The NIT offered two very young programs deep tournament experience. It's not the same pressure as the NCAA's, but it's better than being out in the first week IMO.

 

Exactly right, as a fan its easy to just ignore the NIT's because of it's lack of significant meaning. But you said it right it's all about gettin the fella's some more experience for next season.

 

Well losing Butler is going to suck. I was thinking we go big next year if we don't have Crater or Buford starting at point.

Maybe Turner at point, Lighty at SG, KK at SF, Lauderdale at PF, Mullens at C

I think we could really use Koufos to hid full potential.

 

KK will be more in his element next year with BJ playing down low.

 

I know but I don't think KK can guard the quicker SF's and he is too soft down low. One thing I noticed is he never put a body on the penetrating guard. He is pretty good if the guy trys to back him down but he has alot to improve defensively.

 

Ist time Ive seen this one.....one of the greatest games in CFB history! Too bad we had our heads up our arse the game after.

Well Big Mike Adams requires shoulder surgery.

 

Good Read on JL http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/ncaa/04/04/laurinaitis.return.ap/index.html

 

JL and Malcolm Jenkins turned down millions to come back..With that defense there'a a good chance we will be back in the big one this year.

 

There is no doubt. The true test comes against USC. Depending how well we take care of them will determine the tempo for the season. I think we'll be fine, we have a nice solid team this year that is well balanced.

 

Rumor going around that some Buckeyes tested positive for Mary Jane.

 

C'mon man.....you know thats not true.......

 

Might be these guys?

 

ITS ALL 'BOUT THE

from your favorite fan.

 

Yup Clifford and Washington are second time offenders and might be suspended the whole season. Now I don't buy the whole season but action does need to be taken place. Mo Wells also is rumored to be on that list.

I will say if Clifford and Washington are gone for the year the secondary will be a mess.

 

We could go from one of the best secondarys in the country to very average real quick if this is true.

 

I wish we would have got the kid from Miami. Damn you U!

 

Give them a break, they need ALL the help they can get...

 

You are not nice my friend!

overrated....reminds me of a certain U squad a few years back

 

No further comment.

 

Dan.

 

Ah be quiet you KY Jelly packer.

 

Anyone catch the spring game??? This time of year Im swamped at work so I missed the whole thing.

What happened peeps?

 

IVe been meaning to make a post and I watched the whole thing and we are stacked!

Boeckman got MVP but didn't deserve it. He got out played by Joe Bauserman! Bauserman looks great, big arm nice foot work.

The Dline played great put preassure on the QB all day Heyward and Wilson dominated. Abdullah and Worthington played great, Gibson is going to be a force. Safe to say are Dline is not a weak point.

Sabino is a MONSTER, True freshman should be starting OLB this year and taking over the middle. Guy has nice burst. JL played the pass during the spring game Freeman played great.

The Secondary is probably are best position we are solid with depth and starters.

Oline got abused by the Dline. Saine and Mo Wells didn't look that great Boom Herron is a beast looks like another stud at RB.

We are great at WR Small and Washington really shined. Washington is a burner. Boeckman found nice rythm with Hartline connecting 8 times! Though Boeckman threw 2 int's

Bauserman looked like the better QB.

Also Ohio St is picking up Dorien Bell.

My god Ohio St is wasting no time snagging top recruits for next year.

 

Sabino what looking like he was Irish but things fell apart late. You got a solid LB IMO
