I just saw this on Bucknuts and had to post this. Check out Scouting Ohio's new player rankings for the 2012 class. Apparently, the rankings are determined using some advanced formula concocted in Columbus by Bucknut "analysts" Bill Kurelic and Duane Long and something called jjhuddle.com. I'm not even mad, this is just hilarious.

Here's the top 20:

1. Joshua Perry (OSU)

2. Devan Bogard (OSU)

3. Ifeadi Odenigbo 

4. William Mahone 

5. Taylor Decker (ND)

6. Warren Ball Jr. (OSU)

7. Sevon Pittman (MSU)

8. Kyle Dodson (Wisc)

9. Brionte Dunn (OSU?)

10. Chris Wormley (UM)

11. Adolphus Washington 

12. Kyle Kalis (UM)

13. Tom Strobel (UM)

14. Kaleb Ringer (UM)

15. Greg McMullen (Neb)

16. Najee Murray (OSU)

17. Joe Bolden (UM)

18. Benny McGowan (MSU)

19. Frank Epitroplous (OSU)

20. Blake Thomas (OSU)

He is the link for a crappy but awesome story about a HS football player with downs syndrome who the NCHSAA won't even let practice with the team or wear pads during games because he is 19 years old.  I understand not letting him on the field anymore during official games even if the touchdowns he scored didnt affect the outcome of the game, but this is way too harsh.    I just think more people need to be aware of this story.  Plus I have to give the school credit on their awesome taste in uniforms.

So last year we got them around July 29th.

I haven't seen mine and I am freakin out because I registered kind of late. Anyone have theirs mailed ot them yet?

According to 97.1 The Fan in Columbus, the NCAA has informed Ohio State University that they will be continuing their investigation.  The report comes from the Common Man and the Torg show with its sources coming from former OSU football players.

More details to come once I find a print source.  I know we all love to see it, but they broke the news on the radio with promise of following up on it. 

EDIT: Here's the link

EDIT #2: Torg now saying he thinks PRYOR is talking in an effort to get him into the Supplemental Draft.  Granted this is heresay and high speculation, but it raises some interesting questions.  Mind you, Torg is the one who broke this story on air when I posted it....before it made it to ESPN.

EDIT #3: 97.1 NOW REPORTING THAT THE SIGNING OF MEMORABILIA DID NOT STOP AFTER OSU "PUT THE CABOSH ON IT!"  This is getting unbelievable!  Torg says booster involved is from Northwest Ohio. They are livid! Tune in and laugh your ass off.

Gordon Gee had this to say:

Sorry to be OCD about this, but the Updated Scoreboard Diary has not been updated lately and it's been like 5 days since the latest picture of the scoreboard.  So, I just can't take it any more and the suspens is killing me.

Does anyone on the ground in AA have updated pics of the back of the scoreboards, if they've started putting whatever logo on the back that they're going to put on it?
