Win or lose last Saturday vs. MSU, weren't a lot of Buckeyes leaving for NFL anyway?
Following last second loss to MSU on Saturday, the mass media sure is playing up the future Buckeye departures to the NFL, questions about Meyer's leadership, loose lips sinking ships, and questions about team cohesion after the loss:

I did not expect this for an 10-1 team heading into big rivalry game, but there you have it.
I'm sure Ohio State will bring their best and try to end their season on a spectacular note in Ann Arbor.
I'm just surprised that Urban Meyer wouldn't re-assert control and put the kabosh on all the prima donnas players and their divisive comments.
As for future NFL depatures, I don't know that these talented players would have stayed anyway had they beaten MSU on Saturday. I think most were preparing to go anyway, because they can.
Should be a great game on Saturday for the seniors on both teams regardless.

LOL. I thought the same thing.
Anyway, it's the "circle of trust" that Meyer brought from UF. Certain players and do and say what they want without being (at least publicly) reprimanded for.

It's Lynn Henning obviously.

Except OSU is NOT out of it. Of course, both UM and OSU need to win on Saturday with an MSU loss to get in the title game. It's unlikely, but still possible.
November 23rd, 2015 at 1:14 PM ^
consult the scenarios threads? Or did you do that all on your own?
/s
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:57 PM ^
Yes, but I'd rather have them leave pissed off and talking shit about their coach and program on the way out. It's good for our recruiting.
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:48 PM ^
Lets hope Harbaugh and co. beat the living fuck out of them so they all leave.
64-0 Michigan. Harbaugh goes for two.
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:56 PM ^
the exact same thing next year.
November 23rd, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
Coach why did you go for two at the end? He will say because they woudn't let me go for three

I have a feeling OSU will either bring their A+ game to the table Saturday or fold the tent and bring a C- game. Let's hope it's the latter, but I am optimistic no matter what because, Harbaugh.

That said, the buckeyes are capable of mediocre to excellent play. I choose to believe its Michigan's time to pound them...at a minimum just win. I think we are the hornets nest, and we will play with 6 seconds of rage every snap.

All year long people having been waiting for that "excellent play" by the Bucks to show up. And they haven't really dominated aside from against crappy teams. This season they just don't seem to have jelled for whatever reason. While they could play great, I think we are more likely to see the same underperforming group we have seen all year. That doesn't mean we automatically win, they have great talent, but if they were going to be a great team this year, we would have seen it by now. Maybe if they had gone with Barrett all year, they would have been great; but I don't see it happening overnight.

Ezekiel Elliot issued an apology today for his comments. During the apology, he basically said "However, I don't regret anything I said." Hahahahaha
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:57 PM ^
So basically, "I'm sorry, but not really."
November 23rd, 2015 at 1:26 PM ^
November 23rd, 2015 at 1:30 PM ^
more like, "Everything I said was true but I should not have said that I was going to for sure go pro now because I was going to anyway and what I said was an afront to my coach and just made the entire team and fan base feel even worse than they did already after a really bad loss and right before our biggest rivalry game when we are theoretically still alive for both a conference title and the Playoff."
November 23rd, 2015 at 1:01 PM ^
Never ceases to amaze how many adults never get it.
November 23rd, 2015 at 1:50 PM ^
November 23rd, 2015 at 3:31 PM ^
Not just for sports, but the typical public apology.
1. I'm sorry if I offended any (oversensitive) people
November 23rd, 2015 at 2:18 PM ^
Re-read it, he actually didn't apologize at all. He was sorry that other people were upset, he didn't regret saying it. I love the honesty.
November 23rd, 2015 at 12:57 PM ^
three players as probably gone and then putting two of them in next year's projected starting lineup?
November 23rd, 2015 at 2:01 PM ^
Besides the obvious "losing the locker room" part the announcements by Jones, Elliott, Bosa(?) seems to me like a major slap in the face to the entire UM/OSU rivalry. This is supposed to be the biggest rivalry in college football let alone all sports. These announcements are actually announcing that you think you are bigger than your teammates, your university, and The Game. Alums on both sides of this rivalry have to be pissed by this. Bo (and possibly Harbaugh) would kick their asses off the team for doing something like this.
