Semi-OT: OSU Commit Throws Down the "O" Gauntlet

Submitted by boliver46 on

Buckeye commit Tyler Green was in Ann Arbor yesterday with some teammates for the UM Football camp.

He decided it would be good to wear all OSU gear and throw up the "O" on the field.

Love the guts to do this, but also can't wait for Canteen to blow right by him for a TD!!

Some of the comments are funny too: 

 

Based on what is on Rivals I am surprised OSU made him an offer. 3 star rating, mid level Rival ranking and he isn't nationally ranked. For the position he actually is on the small side. His stats are nothing special. I didn't see anything spectacular in his film.

Good use of his head as the "nut" in the picture. Very fitting. Add this picture to the vault of douchebag pictures that include misspelled tattoos and the pic of the recruits with the child molester. OSU = fail

Is that what that is?  I always thought it was supposed to be a toilet seat in honor of the stadium.  You know, the kind in public bathrooms where the seat doesn't quite go all the way around the front.

I'm a fan of it. If this were a Michigan commit doing this at OSU we'd all be singing his praises. It doesn't seem like he was an asshole all day or whatever, after it was all done he decided to take a harmless picture repping the school he's going to play for.

Given that Michigan had zero interest in this kid, at least he got a chance to visit an institute of higher learning (no offense intended to Hawaii, Charlotte, Maryland and Indiana).

Rich Rodriguez would have been all over this kid as a box safety, and I bet there are a number of people on this board who would be excited about him. He played corner last year and is listed at 6'3", 195 lbs. He's not an otherworldly athlete, but he's big and strong with decent speed. I don't really see him fitting what Michigan wants to do (which is perhaps one reason why they haven't offered, but he has decent skills.

If Rich would've wanted him as a defender, wouldn't that mean one of three things:

1.  He would transfer upon arriving on campus,

2.  He would get booted from the team upon arriving on campus,

2.  He would be found academically ineligible, or

3.  He would remain on the team but be part of an epically bad defense

he could have faced the other way next to the H and the I in the end zone and actually started to spell something.

Still, a bold move.

OSU fans had their panties in a bunch over the Malzone tweet a week ago, now they think this is awesome. Meanwhile Michigan fans have no issue with either and think it adds to the rivalry.

Oh yes, I forgot. OSU only recruits and accepts commitments from five-star players. My bad.

I flew into Seattle yesterday (of course I was wearing my 'Michigan Football' T-Shirt..  I ran into a guy wearing an Ohio State T-Shirt and, in light of Seattle being the home of Macklemore, I asked the Ohio State fan about his shirt:

    "Pick that up at a thrift shop?"

Have to agree. Same reason why I didn't mind when Malzone said that it wouldn't be the last time he left Columbus happy a few weeks ago. I will start to worry when the fan bases and players stop doing these types of things to each other.

Looks more like a penis sign. Get some nuts on your neck, because that's the ohlio tradition.

This is what you're supposed to do in a rivalry.  

Think about how much it would suck if OSU decided their legitimate B1G football rival was Sparty and only did this kind of thing directed at them.  I'm happy to still be considered relevant.

I can't wait until November 29th...when Michigan wins at the Toilet seat.

I have a good feeling about this year and yes I realize I have nothing to do with what happens on the field.

Go Blue!!
