April Fools or not? Braxton leaving OSU
This one is hard to decipher. Real or fake? What say you?

On April 1st. Or from a OSU website I've never heard of.
It can not be a coincidence on this day.
Don't really care what Braxton Miller does.
because Urban has shown an incredibly annoying ability to turn any of his guys into elite QBs. If all their QBs transferred at once, I'd still believe that they could start a walk-on QB in their first game of the season and he'd pass for 6 TDs. Plug n play down there
probably fake

Agreed. Although I'm sure they'd figure out a way to use him in some other capacity, if he left it wouldn't change their team a whole lot. They have 2 QBs who might both be better than him (and who haven't had shoulder problems) and the best RB in the league (with a very good back up).
This will really hurt their chances for a National....
Nevermind.
Oh Lord, that is bad. But it made me laugh, so +1.
5 fakes out of 5
a 4-1. But considering he's 3rd on the D/C.. who knows.
It's fake.
But it does not matter, because he will leave anyway.
Knowing Harbaugh, he'll proably wind up here.
Just to watch the winners run.
LOSER!
Not sure if its real or not, but if Braxton wants to play QB anymore its not going to be at OSU. Honestly the job looks like its Cardale's to lose, especially with both him and Barrett still out recovering from injuries.
I'm sure Meyer would find ways to get him involved in the offense if he stayed, but there's just such a logjam ahead of Miller right now that I'd be shocked if he ever lined up under center for OSU again. My guess is he's gone after spring ball, either to Duke, FSU or Oregon.
I don't think it's Cardale's to lose, especially since that wasn't a bad injury to come back from. Fractures heal much more quickly and cause fewer issues down the road compared to other injuries. Cardale looked very good in the games he played, but JT Barrett played a whole season and was the Big Ten POY. Playing 3 good games is not as good as playing 11 good games.
You might be right, and honestly, OSU is in the extremely fortunate position of not being able to go wrong with whoever they choose. But my bet is they go with the hot hand.

they could have made it more tantalizing and entertaining, they could have said Braxton Miller to U of M.
Go (south)west, young man! Specifically to Austin; my Longhorns could use a little QB competition from a seasoned veteran.
That's why he should take this opportunity to switch positions. He wasn't a great pro prospect to begin with, and now he has shoulder injury history. If he wants to play on Sundays, he needs to move. He's a big, athletic kid. He could be a very good RB/WR type.
OMFG who gives a shit about Braxton? The guy is now an after thought for OSU fans.
Not transferring. Perhaps you linked on a slow news day to amuse the board? I hope so, because no one in their right mind could think this was happening.

This is probaly fake. I don't trust anything I hear about on April Fools Day.

Is apparently a real thing...Poorly written post, but 4/5 for trolling their own fanbase.
FAKE

Second line is "Let me start off with saying first of I, a man of great insignificance, have scored an exclusive interview."?
C'mon, you don't start off an April Fool's joke by reminding your audience of how improbable the background to your story actually is.
This was just poorly done.
From the article, it looks like a joke.
Either way I don't think it'd make much of a difference. He's a considerably worse passer than the other two, so I don't see him winning his job back.
will transfer until after spring ball is over.
when his career is over.
That's not news.
It doesn't say when his career will be over, could easily be next January.
If we could just get all 3 of their QBs to transfer they probably wouldn't be national title contenders.
ok, it is fairly lame as April 1 articles go. Truly good April 1 foolery should have people getting upset and writing letters to the editor.
