OT: Delusional Buckeye thread
Enjoy! That's really all that needs to be said.

That after you hope a kid blows his acl (Kyle Kalis) for committing to Michigan, you hope he's the first recruit the new coach calls. Also, I'm 100% sure they can pull in Zach Banner, DJ Humphries, and Andrus Peat, all with the mere mention of Urban Meyer's name.
November 22nd, 2011 at 2:56 PM ^
Those fans over at bucknuts really are crazy aren't they? I am a little worried about Meyer's presence, however, his slate of assistant coaches doesn't appear to be very threatening.
November 22nd, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
DG-B!!
November 22nd, 2011 at 2:59 PM ^
Ok.
Beat Ohio.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:03 PM ^
Urban Meyer can probably get this "Beat Ohio" kid too.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
Don't have enough points to start my own post, but I got into a fun (if not frustrating) argument today). I really didn't have to argue much, because The Game speaks for itself, but a couple of my friends were trying to foolishly claim that no one outside The Rivalry cares. I mostly laughed in their faces, as one is a Mizzou alum and the other Illinois, so their points of view are essentially pointless, but I was just curious as to everyone's reactions to the sentiment no one outside The Rivalry cares.

It's probably a good thing you couldn't start that thread because it would have just devolved into well deserved "Cool Story Bro" posts
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:42 PM ^

Cool story bro.

It seems that with the way Hoke and Co are recruiting once we get a kid on board he is 99% sure that he wants to come to Michigan and play ball the only thing that can't do is sign the LOI. I have total confidence that even if Meyer is the coach Hoke won't have any problems holding this class together and continuing to recruit stong out of Ohio.
November 22nd, 2011 at 4:07 PM ^
Pharaoh Brown disagrees.

November 22nd, 2011 at 3:14 PM ^
Did that guy just copy/paste the ESPN 150?
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
As he not only got Dorial Green-Beckham's state wrong, but also spelled his last name wrong too.
This leaves the possibility that he got his list from a Bleacher Report slideshow.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:52 PM ^
was such that after reading this I had to get up and close my office door. thank you, now my minions know i'm fucking off.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
"show that you are gonig to dominatea recruiting"
^ best sentence fragment of my day ^
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
To be fair, it's hard to type when you only have one hand on the keyboard
November 22nd, 2011 at 4:12 PM ^
This seems relevant:
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:15 PM ^
"you go back after Kalis" Ok buckeyes whatever you say. I'm sure he wants to go back to a 6-5 team.
November 22nd, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
But that team's fans showed him such love and respect after he committed to Michigan.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
What can you offer them in terms of weed, tattoos and company cars?
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:26 PM ^
needs to let all potential schollars know about Ohio's Edumication Suport Prohgram where minimal effort is job 1.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:29 PM ^
It's cute how they don't realize that being assholes about Kalis means he wouldn't go there if Lombardi was cloned and hired head coach.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:31 PM ^
Ole Torgy just said he thinks they can pull Kalis back in. Apparently these people haven't seen the interview with Rivals where he talks about all the threats he's gotten from Ohio fans via mail, email, twitter, etc.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:32 PM ^
Did anyone mention Dunn?
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:35 PM ^
I love how they think as soon as Meyer comes in the entire world is theirs...it's as if there an literally zero other schools in the country. I think they have been playing too much NCAA 12 with recruiting on easy difficulty where they can just pick and chose who they want.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:40 PM ^
Just wait until he sucks it up and the magical aura around him disappears.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
Urban Meyer was only successful at recruiting because he had Greg Mattison as his recruiting coordinator as well as being at a school that wasn't about to get harsh sanctions from the NCAA, and coming off national championship seasons or contests. He would be in a completely different situation at Ohio and frankly outside that state, no one would be interested this late into the recruiting process for 2012.
November 22nd, 2011 at 3:53 PM ^
I'm sure if Meyer goes to OSU he'll do great in recruiting. Just like anyone else who would get the OSU position. OSU kind of recruits itself, kind of like Florida.
<br>But those that think he'll snatch up everyone, even those who are already committed, are badly mistaken. Recruiting is all about relationships, and you don't make up that much ground in December.

"Brady say good by to half your recruiting class!!"
I find his use of prepositions most disturbing.
However, I believe he did not mean that our recruits were leaving us, but rather his is stating that Brady should be pleased—or "say good"—"by to half of your recruiting class". He is merely admitting that we half of our recruits are high caliber players.
November 22nd, 2011 at 4:07 PM ^
You mean "good by."
I feel 10% dumber just for having clicked on that link, but what did I expect?
What a group of pathetic morons.
November 22nd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
Remember his coming from an OSU perspective so maybe he meant the recruits would be "Good buys"?
November 22nd, 2011 at 4:54 PM ^
no, what he meant to say was "Brady is good by all his recruits"
November 22nd, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
But wasn't Urban Meyer's best recruiter at Florida a certain Michigan defensive coordinator?
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
But called in sick....
<br>Zing!
November 22nd, 2011 at 5:35 PM ^
.....then let's see exactly how this works out for Meyer.
As I said in another thread, I think we'll do fine regardless. The OSU fanbase really does live on the fringes.
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:04 PM ^
Imagine Urban's first recruiting visit:
Urban Meyer: Hi, I am the new OSU Coach. At least until I decide I don't feel well and quit because I can't put up with the BS any more. But, I totally will not get busted for giving out free cars or nailing a 23 year old staffer. (Maybe.) If something goes wrong, OSU will have my back - until they throw me under the bus like Jimbob. Want to play football for me?
Recruit: Ummm. Hey, why are you walking all bent over. You OK?
Meyer: Oh that. It's just the crushing weight of the NCAA on my back. Don't worry. You will probably get to a bowl, some day. At least the class after you might - maybe. Anyway, I am Urban Meyer so sign here . . .
Recruit: [Slams door]
Meyer: Wait . . . I know Tim Tebow!
November 22nd, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
Can someone tell me why every Ohio fan think Meyer is god? Look at the last 3 years at Florida. Ever since tebow and matty left, they have been garbage! I give him 3 years and he will be out because of health. No Ohio u won't get every recruit you want. There are a lot of kids that hate the school, because u think u can get away with anything! Have fun Saturday Ohio!
