Kalis officially decommits from OSU
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually feel a little bad for (some) OSU fans. They aren't the ones who cheated, and it has to be devastating to find out -- in a matter of months -- that your beloved team's successes are tainted and its future looks horribly grim. It makes me even angrier with Tressel, Gene Smith, and the rest of those d-bags for what they've done to college football.
I can't beleive you're saying that either
Would OSU fans feel bad if UM was in their shoes? No they would not, it's going to be awhile until they can unfuck themselves and I'm fucking lovin it.
Those Buckeye bastards who are arguing with each other remind me of Michigan fans in 2008 and 2009.
with this level of infighting? If the fan base divides, the program falls. Osu, like any other program, relies on a unified fan base to fill its stadiums and buy its merchandise. What are they going to do if suddenly half of Columbus doesn't want to buy Osu welcome mats?
"Areas of Improvement - Arm Length"
I would love to know how he plans on fixing that. Its like they had to find a fault with him.
gaaa - you beat me to it. I was distracted by the weather radar, big storms are rollin' through Michigan right now.
And a bigger storm is rolling through OSU's recruiting class, ha!
I hope they filled out their CARA forms correctly.
ambidextrous bowling would help?
I love how that site lists under areas of improvement: "Arm length"
Just how do you make your arms longer?? :)
Anyway I'm loving this. It'd be great to pull this kid in, obviously, the fact that he's good friends with Strobel probably isn't hurting either.
I think this is in the bag. I think Strobel planted the seed, and it has sprouted.
If we sign him, I'll call it the reverse-Boren.
Your comparison is sloppy at best.
Nearly 70% of all couples who attempt the reverse-Boren wind up with a crushed pelvis. Fact.
That just takes the phrase "get plowed" to a whole new level.
Why a 5 pt. max.... Why?
This comment has tripple digit potential.
Funniest thing I've heard all day. Nice execution.
Honestly I wouldn't go that far, Boren already played here a year before turning Benedict Arnold on us.
A player turning on the school he loves because of a change in values/leadership. I dont think the comparison is sloppy. Different circumstances, but the same variable caused the change of heart in both scen
Scout now lists him as having 'High' interest in Michigan and 'Medium' for all of his other schools.
His area for improvement is...Arm Length!?!? Thanks coach, I'll get right on it.
/wanking motion
Yeah it's tough to believe that this kid hasn't improved on that yet. I think that speaks poorly of his work ethic and attitude.
Don't forget to blame his character while you're at it. /ElevenWarriors
He still has his senior year to try and correct his arm length.
once a kid gets in the habit of having less than optimal arm length, it's hard to get him to break it
Agree. The 5th one is willing to experiment.
His coaches must not have been hammering home the fundamentals of how to play with good arm length. If they haven't gotten him to change his irresponsible ways by now, what hope do we have for the future?
My favorite part of all of this is how OSU fans were like "WHEW, CARGATE IS POSITIVELY RESOLVED" and then BAM! Those guys can't catch a break... and it is delicious.
The next Hokeamaniac?
this is going to be very interesting!!
I fear for this kid's mental stability and all-around safety if he ends up going Blue. The level of class that a lot of tOSU fans will handle this with will be nothing surprising.
Go Blue Kyle, and see the true nature of your "fans".
A small sample from twitter...
what a bunch of whiny clownpussies. If I was an O[tat]U recruit seeing this reaction I wouldn't be flattered with the asshattery I'd be seeing for 4-5 years from that fanbase.
Not that most of us were the ones doing such actions, but those in glass houses should not throw stones: plenty of UofM fans felt the need to tweet and fb Darius Morris about his mistake, his betrayal to the program, failing in the pros, and just plan old anger and frustration. We didn't exactly see the good side of the UofM fanbase.
And I'm not biased about my criticism of those types of "fans". Michigan fans that do that are also idiots. That being said, you don't hear about media types moving from Ann Arbor b/c the fan base is so full of hate. I think its a lot worse at OSU.
... is a term both hysterical and terrifying.
Try not to think too hard about the makeup.
Wow! An Ohio fan talking about someone's word not being any good. Hilarious. Let's see a head coach repeatedly lies and even signs a document that is a lie versus a high school kid who gave a verbal. Apples and oranges but what should I expect.
Yes, Kyle Kalis's word ain't worth shit. Instead, OSU fans will get behind a real promise: "I'll get right on that !! Happy Easter !! - jt"
Now that's an oath you can hang your hat on.
are sooooooo delicious. MMMmmmmmmm................
I really have to say that I hope Kalis doesn't read any comments like this. I am sure it was hard for him to decommit anyway and then to have people like this talk smack about him for looking out for his best interests.
after reading some posts on 11w and buckeye nation, I learned that the UM in scum is capitalized. never knew that....
They constantly switch between the two.. tRCMB can't figure it out either. Some claim we don't deserve to have our school letters capitalized, while some claim it emphasizes that UM is scum. Either way, it's just so hurtful..
"I think its absurd to let kids like Kalis hold THE Ohio State program hostage because we won't name Fickell HC. I have no problem with him choosing to go to that $hit hole to finger bang Stroebel if it means we bring in a guy like Meyer or Pelini, etc. Fickell has proven nothing. I like his heart, I like what he said in the press conference, but lets be serious. Ohio State is one of the top three programs/jobs in the country. There are a ton of coaches gnawing at the bit to jump on board. Lets see what we can do after August."
Who wouldn't want to deal with a fanbase like that?
This is great. That means he's coming to UM with an open mind. I would love to have him go blue.
I would never pay a red cent to be a member of 247, but I'd be willing to donate an extra couple bucks to my church to read the Bucknuts message board right now.
Go Blue!
You know you don't have to be a member to read the meltdown, right?
I'm never gonna pay for that or tRCMB, but they're quite fun to go over and read when things are going our way
two words. GO BLUE !!
