I was just a kid when my daddy said to me Son there's much to learn in this life. And so there beneath a tree, he sat me on his knee He said there's dangers in this world So follow my advice. Don't swat a fly that's landed on a pitbull Don't play with your new chainsaw in the tub Don't give a dozen roses to your girlfriend Especially if your wife just bought a gun. And don't ever date your father's cousin's sister In case she is your uncle's brother's wife. And don't leave your Grandpa all alone at Hooter's Unless you got insurance on his life. And don't ever give Viagara to a Rooster. He'll cock-a-doodle-doo till he explodes. And don't ask you in-laws over for a dinner Unless you're sure they'll all fit in the stove.. And don't take your kids to visit dear old Grandma Unless they don't mind digging all night long. And don't swat a fly that's landed on a pitbull Unless you aren't too drunk enough to run. And don't ever put pure jet fuel in your tractor Cause now your cousin Junior's on the moon. They say he left a trail of anti-matter and NASA said he won't be back real soon. And don't take advice unless it's from your daddy Even if your mother says you ain't my son. And don't swat a fly that's landed on a pitbull Unless you aren't too drunk enough to run Unless you aren't too drunk enough to run.

The note about Denard starting the Wisconsin game came from Tate Forcier's Facebook page. Tate had written that he thought he played poorly in the Purdue game and that Denard would probably start the next game (Wisconsin). There has been no mention of anyone other than Tate starting from the coaching staff.

Denard deserves a chance to stay on the field and make some plays. If he can hit short passes and spread the field..... It will be good for Tate to heal before Ohio State, and if Denard plays well, what does OSU prepare for?

The "news," assuming it is true, is mostly symbolic. The coaches have been wanting to get Robinson some more reps. Whether those reps come in the first series, or some other part of the game, is immaterial. But by giving Robinson the "start," it sends a message to Forcier that nobody's job is safe if they violate team rules. Robinson's fans have visions of him setting the game on fire with his speed. If he gets free, there are very few defenders who can catch him. The problem is getting him into the open field, which is difficult when everyone in the stadium knows what he is going to do. So far, he has not been able to keep defenses honest by completing passes with any consistency, and when he takes off he is prone to fumble. I don't think he has enough of a repertoire yet to play the whole game.
