Brian Cook mentioned at Eleven Warriors (or, The Truth, how it burns)
Reading through their spring roundtable discussion, I run across this, which I would love to disagree with, but....
"As Brian Cook would freely admit, the Buckeyes have a habit of turning three stars into dominant players at the safety position (while the Wolverines typically turn four and five stars into open field turnstiles)."

Marlin Jackson, right guys?
Didn't he only play safety one year? I actually think the problem is less a matter of our highly ranked safeties turning into turnstiles than it is a matter of them turning into linebackers.
I guess I was just surprised that an OSU blog would seize an opportunity for a cheap shot at Michigan's expense.
that last part is a joke right?
Yeah. It's supposed to be.
and their spin-laden website.
I would not fuck them with Thad Matta's vagina.
both. *cringes*
My spidey-sense is all tingly with just the thought that you were browsing the enemy's main blog site.
As Brian Cook would freely admit, the Buckeyes have a habit of turning three stars into dominant players at the safety position (while the Wolverines typically turn four and five stars into open field turnstiles)Perhaps that's a good sign then for Ray Vinopal who is a 3* out of Ohio
As Eleven Warriors would freely admit, the Buckeyes have a habit of turning three Busch Lights into dominant stool-cooler combos, while the rest of the nation looks on in disgust.
Not everybody the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone drinks beer, poops, poops in coolers, poops in my beer cooler.
Some would say that OSU really does remake these guys' bodies physically, using chemical means. I don't know if that's true but it'd be nice if NCAA drug-testing standards weren't a total joke.
Gholston was juiced up on amphetamines during the Game in 2007. No unaltered human could beat Jake Long. I know this for a fact, though it cannot be proven empirically.
that play was an example of Mallett being a statute in the pocket and holding on to the ball too long
It's actually just because Gholston moved faster than Long. Could Mallett have let go of the ball? Sure. But the line didn't hold up, either. Fast forward to 3:45 in the video above.
It's okay to admit that Long messed up once in awhile. We don't have to blame everything on people we don't like (i.e. Mallett).
why is Gholston an NFL bust, who doesn't play, while Long is a 2 time Pro Bowler after 2 seasons?
The simplest explanation is juicing.
Just because it's a simple answer, doesn't make it true. While I wouldn't be shocked that he was, there is no real proof.
If it's proof you want, then it's proof you receive.
OSU is our rival, and everyone knows our rival is evil. Therefore, if they beat us, that means they must have cheated. QED.
You're comparing NFL success to determine who "should" beat who in a one-on-one match-up at the college level? Have you ever watched the game of football?
He moved faster because he was on amphetamines. Did anyone screen the players prior to the game for performance-enhancing drugs? Speed is undetectable through blood and urine after a day or so.
There is no incentive for unscrupulous and dishonorable types, such as the Buckeyes, to not jack up their players with amphetamines. Tressel has it put in the players' beverages -- the players don't even know. I saw it through clairvoyance, so there's your proof.
The joke was mildly funny the first time. You should have quit then.
Every time I see the name of that blog I read it as "Elven Warriors", and don't understand what Lord of the Rings (or maybe World of Warcraft) has to do with Ohio State.
