but posting things people don't want to hear or admit often gets negged.  A few posts back, someone said Michigan is a much better school.  That's likely true, but by no means is Ohio a horrible school unless you judge the whole institution through your hatred of the FB program.

Was that true 12 months ago when they were 6-7 and we'd just been the only BIG school to win a BCS bowl?  Making the decision on just one year of data is shortsighted, and no, Ohio State is not currently the better football program.  Over the last two years UM is 19-6, Ohio State is 18-7, and that was with UM square pegging round holes in dealing with RichRod's recruiting blunders.  Urban walked into a full cupboard this year, and barely scraped out many close victories.  Both teams will be better this year, but to say Ohio is the better program is false.

Just to play devil's advocate...

1. Ohio State is not "that bad" of a school

2. Ohio State has a lot more recent tradition (9 BCS appearances to 5)

3. Brady Hoke has bailed on schools for better jobs

4. OSU campus is a pretty easy drive (it's not like he is playing so far his family couldn't hop in a car Saturday morning to see him play Saturday afternoon)

I'm pretty sure when he was in limbo after leaving Florida, Urban said his dream jobs were Ohio, Michigan, and ND.  Basically the biggest and most storied programs with possibilities for job openings in the near future.  He's full of shit.

"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

Columbus is a shit hole.  Ann Arbor is probably 10 magnitudes higher on the "good place to live" scale. 

Brady Hoke has shown no signs of bailing.  Urban has (a) his broadcasting option, (b) his heart ailment/family history, and (c) his bailing and coming back to Florida flip flop history.  Again, no brainer in terms of who is more reliable.

"Recent' and "Tradition" are contradictory, not to mention relative.  If you want to go one year out, sure, if you go three years out, UM 1 BCS win, Ohio 0.  If you go ten years out X, if you go 50 years out Y, if you go 100 years out Z...

Flat out Meyer is using Webb to drive a stake in Michigan's heart because he sees the threat being posed here by Hoke and Mattison.  I bet he will stop at nothing, and delve into several shady grey areas in terms of inaccuracies that will spew from his lips in order to pluck Webb and work over McDowell and others. 

Brady Hoke is simply far more trustworthy.

McDowell visitng is the best news in this article.  For all the positive things I've heard regarding Michigan's position with him, I had never seen a less interested prospect.  Seemed like he was visitng and talking highly of every school but Michigan.  Obviousely this changes things.  And bringing the whole family... That's good news.
