With the suspension looming
actually D.S. is one
Of the few buckeyes I like. I wouldn't mind it at all if my team drafted him.
It's tough being Blue in Columbus!!!
Blasphemy
I don't know how anyone could like any buckeye.
I'm kind of a big deal in Bolivia.
They're all coming back
They're all coming back (which is old news).
As far as Cardale, word is either greyshirt or prep school then OSU.
Sanzenbacher wasn't one of the five
Sanzenbacher wasn't one of the five suspended players. He was a senior with no eligibility remaining.
well duh there commin back
well duh there commin back going to the NFL would mean taking a pay cut.
If you see someone in an airport with Michigan logos on luggage and they are wearing a pilot uniform come say hello.

Wouldnt thay have had to already declare?
good question
I think you could be right but there is always the supplemental draft. This year they could call it "the" supplemental draft.
It's tough being Blue in Columbus!!!
This is correct; the deadline
This is correct; the deadline to declare for the draft was January 15th. Also I'm suprised to hear that OSU is offering Jones. I assumed he was not going to qualify.
He probably won't qualify.
He probably won't qualify. His offer doesn't change that. He's likely headed to JuCo or Toledo...I don't really understand the offer
Twitter // Recruiting Work// Email
Why not offer?
They know by now that he can't take them up on the scholly, but...
Tressel solidifies trust in his pipeline, Ginn gets his kid the offer he craved, Jones can tell everyone he had an OSU offer. Wins all 'round
You hit it right on the head...
This offer is just window-dressing for Ted "OSU Stooge" Ginn Sr. and his star QB Jones. Tressel didn't want him that much, but wants to keep the Glenville pipeline open as you said. Whatever. OSU must have had an extra scholarship too.

Graduating in Ohio
I thought that you get admitted to OSU if you graduate from an accredited high school in the state of Ohio?
Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through
Not any more
Not any more. That used to be true prior to E. Gordon Gee's first reign, but he moved OSU away from the traditional land grant model and limited open enrollment (if that's the term) to spring quarter, and later phased it out entirely.
It has been tough to get in since 2002
My freshman year at OSU was 2003 and that's when they started getting selective. I had plenty of friends that didnt get accepted. They pretty much don't even look at you without a 24-25 on the ACT. Don't let the football team give the school a bad rap anymore.

Something doesn't seem right with this post
An M fan (based on your avatar and UN) that went to OSU...how does that work?
I have a Fandom Endurance III merit badge
Haha
It was 2 hours away, and out of state fees for Michigan were just too expensive. Ohio State had my program (that I started in) and any resource you could think of. The whole family is Blue though, and my buddies loved me because I sold my student tickets at face value to them. Except for the 06 game, I had to go to that.

Whoa, a 24 ACT? That IS
Whoa, a 24 ACT? That IS selective!
It makes me wonder what it was like before...
Take it easy
That was 8 years ago, I don't know what their standards are now. I never said it was Ivy league, but it is a very good school, and I had to work my ass off for my degree. Please don't belittle it because you hate the football team.

Look, I never said you
Look, I never said you weren't a smart person, just that one doesn't need to be smart to get in.
I'm not the first Michigan grad/fan to rip OSU as a university, and I won't be the last. I'm sorry if you were offended by my comment, but you probably shouldn't be.

Oh i thought you were being sarcastic...but you use to be able to get in if you graduated? thats crazy
They sent over his vital
They sent over his vital signs from the hospital. He was subsequently accepted. Only at OSU.
Coming back??
Where are they going to go? Posey might be a 3-4 round type of player, the others would be doing themselves a disservice to leave.
(No subject)
You very well maybe right.
You very well maybe right. Posey may only be a 3-4 round player at best, but sitting on the bench for the first 5 games of next season is not going to do any of these players justice either. That was my only reasoning for my post. It maybe completely absurd I just didn't see them coming back, that was until you all informed me that the NFL draft deadline is well past.
Except
Half the blogs on the internet claim the suspensions have been reduced to 2 games. I havent found any proof it's true yet, but that's what everyone is saying.
Edit: Nevermind, the sources are fake
Offer Sheet
Looking at his profile his offer sheet is decent for someone who may not qualify. Interesting.
unlikely to qualify
unlikely to qualify
Current Smug rating: "lethal"
Insurance
Maybe Tressel is concerned that TP will be unable to keep himself out of trouble if he has nothing to do but lead the scout team until game 6.

holy cats
How can one NOT qualify for admission to OSU? Katzenmoyer was only semi-literate after graduating ....... imagine what he was like at admission, and now go a standard deviation lower than that? Holy cats!
No radio. Nothing of value.
Come on Moe, Katzenmoyer was
Come on Moe, Katzenmoyer was well versed in Aids Awareness, Golf and for the love of me I can't remember what the third class they offered him to keep him on the field.
SI had a great article back
SI had a great article back when he was in college, and they listed his three classes. One I remember was Golf, the other two were like "Awareness of walls in the 21st century" or something like that. I distinctly remember thinking, even then, that if you were good at sports people tended to make exceptions for you.
Basket Weaving?
Am I close?
close...
it was Underwater Basket-Weaving
That's not it....

It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine
Katz's third class
was music appreciation.

This is more about Glenville
than it is about Cardale Jones.
Stop it. Just stop it right
Stop it. Just stop it right now. The only thing more annoying than Buckeye fans abbreviating it tOSU is when Michigan fans abbreviate it tOSU. Please stop.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.

But will they come when you do call for them?
Last week I saw a woman flayed, and you will hardly believe how much it altered her person for the worse.
I guess the OSU coaches told
I guess the OSU coaches told Cardale this,
If you come this fall we'll have 5 quarterbacks, if you come next spring (after prep) we'll have 3.
He understands Braxton Miller is there and is willing to compete and all, so we'll have to see if he decides to go prep and greyshirt. Otherwise, I think he'd be a good fit at Toledo. They're a pretty solid up-and coming team with a fun offense.
Seems like Toledo is NOT the
Seems like Toledo is NOT the MAC team to schedule in a couple of years. They're loading up on some decent recruits and transfers.
For those ridiculing OSU's
For those ridiculing OSU's admissions standards for offering a scholarship to this kid: how does this differ from what we're doing with Thomas Rawls?
With the suspension looming over the heads of the 5 players, I truly don't believe any of them will be back next year. With the suspension possibly hurting their draft status, I just don't see them coming back. The only one who I might through a bone too, would be maybe Sanzenbacher.
