Ohio loses a LB
Sophmore LB, 2012 4-star David Perkins has apparently left the team. http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2013/05/david_perkins_linebacker_that.html
Uh-oh(io), LB depth getting thinner.
and he was going to be a probable starter...too bad for them
What's your source on that info? Just wondering how satisfied I should be. Seems strange that he would ditch if he was gonna start.
I think he meant to say not expected to start.
The sophomore to be wasn't expected to start as Ryan Shazier, Curtis Grant, and Joshua Perry were widely expected to see the lion's share of the minutes at the position. Perry had been filling in for Shazier during his absence with an injury. The departure certainly comes abruptly and we'll have to see if a reason comes to light in the days ahead.

Perkins wasn't expected to be a starter.
Ryan Shazier, Curtis Grant and Joshua Perry have been the frontrunners for a while now. David Perkins, however, was still in the running to be Ryan Shazier's backup and heir-apparent.
Kind of not surprised. Great athlete, but he always looked like he didn't have an actual football position in HS.
I'm all choked up
didn't really offer him.
They are missing depth in two key position groups in OL and LB. Luckily for them their schedule is cake and the only teams with a pulse that they'll face are Wisconsin (and who knows what they'll be like this year to be honest), @N'W (should definitely still win) and @UM (toughest game on schedule). They have a 4 game schedule this year if you throw in a probable trip to the conference title game.
This just goes to show that nobody had better fuck with Brutus. Ever.
I love that the wearers of this custome routinely get their ass whooped in it now.
He didn't ever have a committable scholarship.
now you see why they have been trying to recruit every linebacker in the country this year.
This was known a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure why it's a news story now.
Probably because it was not confirmed until today.
Damnit!!! Don't ever disagree with Magnus. Do you know who he is?!?!?!
Ha. That's funny.
Mike from rivals tweeted that Hand is suppose to be visiting this weekend with a 2015 prospect I know Hands not a LB but still...
in Columbus this weekend and Hand was already planning to attend. He said he would stop by OSU in the morning but he has been there several times before, so there really isn't much to worry about.
Hand is going to a camp that's in Columbus, so he's suppose to visit Ohio during that time. Kind of like how Scarbrough was suppose to visit us since he was already going to attend a camp in Detroit.
How many guys have already left from Meyer's first class? 4? 5?
I can only think of 2. Sevon Pittman and now Perkins.
Also Joey O'Connor and Ricquan Southward.
David Perkins, Se'Von Pittman, Joey O'Connor, Riquan Southward
[Edit- you beat me to the keys]
And how many have left Hoke's first class? I know it's one more year but so far Barnett, Jones, Brown, Carter, Rock, and Posada. When you first take over you don't always have time to properly scout for the players you want and some players who committed to former staffs don't fit your program though stay committed. Don't think you can really blame Meyer for the attrition from that class.
Not only is it one more year, but four of those guys weren't even recruited by Hoke and only one of them was a 4 star. Meyer is losing top tier players that he recruited at positions of need. Different situations entirely.
Does anyone really consider 2011 to be Hoke's first class? He was hired about 5 seconds before signing day.
So let's ask how many have left from the 2012 class?
maybe Urb is just making room for Mike McCray?
at running back as a last ditch effort to get a power back?
Which Ohio? Is that ohio, Ohio, OHIO, TSIO or OSU?
Yes, snark meter running a little high tonight.
oLIEo.
Will this influence Chase Winovich's decision at all?
So I fully expect to get negged for this comment for being a complete hijack, but I think that is pretty dumb that the Gordon Gee thread got locked and comments deleted. I came home from work and was looking forward to reading what mgoblogger's thoughts were on it, and found all the comments were deleted. Lighten up mods.
it was the religious discussion that fell out of it.
artds went full retard.
Can't say you're doing much better than he was. Please expand your vocabulary and find another word to use other than retard.
It's a movie quote, settle down there big guy.
I'm not actually trying to offend/attack you, I'm just quoting Ron Burgundy. See:
Doesn't matter where it's from, it can still be offensive to some people. However, to lessen the blow to those who would be offended, it would've helped had he put it in context rather than blurting it out in a way that made him seem like an ignorant ass. If he meant it in the Tropic Thunder sense (didn't notice the avatar of who he's responding to), it's still not entirely appropiate, but I'll allow it.
Your approval means a lot to all of us. I bet you sit when you pee and your farts smell of lavender. That isn't from a movie:) 8)))))D
...and have no idea what 8)))))D means, but if you must know, I have sat when I've pissed before a few times, mostly late at night after a drunken outing to avoid any awkward aiming issues, and I honestly don't fart too often, but when I do, it normally smells like ass.
for a guy wearing a yellow suit and top hat, you're a dick.
I'm really not, as my +2 karma, and 4 1/2 years here with no trips to bolivia imply. My preference is to try to stick to just posting gifs and color commentary on this site (as most threads on this board turn out like this where one post captures everyone's attention and spirals downward into unentertaining, nonsensical bantering). Maybe I was just caught on a bad day, and/or MGoMob mentality turned me into this thread's bad asshole.
Anyways, if I were you, I'd be a lot less trusting of men in yellow suits and tall hats. That's how Curious George ended up getting taken out of his natural habitat, you know...
Isn't the correct phrase "I couldn't care less (what you think.)" The implication in "I couldn't care less" is that your level of care or concern is so low, it is impossible to go lower (in level of care/concern.) If you COULD care less, that would mean that you have at least some level of care or concern for what others think, and haven't reached the lowest possible level of care/concern.
What in the hell...
to stick with movie quotes
If you had said "And I'm jender85, go fuck yourself, San Diego" that would have worked.
Everybody knows you never go full retard.
Being from Columbus and having worked at a club where gee was a member along with Ohio philanthropists the wasserstroms and schottensteins (rich Jewish families, I would bet his audience was not offended much if at at by his joke. Unfortunately Mr pits his foot in his mouth way too often, despite actually being a really nice, down to earth person.
Whether it was the right call or not I'll leave to individual opinion, and I'm not really interested in trying to convince anyone it was, but 112 replies were posted before comments were disabled. When enough of those comments are bad enough, the commenting feature goes away, which is how things are always done.
