2 years 20 weeks ago	If the question is "Which ten?"...	...then: Gibson, Heyward, Chekwa, Boren, Homan, Rolle, Hines, Saine, Sanzenbacher and Browning.
2 years 20 weeks ago	Exactly ONE...	...Junior will leave, and that's Thaddeus Gibson. Cam Heyward will stay in order to chase a MNC (and because he loves being a college kid, and because as the late "Ironhead"'s son he's probably not under any sort of familial financial pressure), and Chimdi Chekwa will stay because he's not that good yet. 1329 is correct that it has always been Tressel's practice to "encourage" any Junior/Redshirt Soph that wants to, to go ahead and file the paperwork that lets them know where they might expect to be drafted. It's not the case, however, that Tress "encourages" "any that have a good shot" to go pro - that's more of a player-by-player thing. If that WERE the case, then he would have encouraged Malcolm Jenkins to go, which he didn't, and Brian Hartline to stay, which he didn't (as far as we know). Again: Gibson will be the only early entry. You heard it here first.
2 years 37 weeks ago	My Hope	That y'all come out and DESTROY Western Sat. Honestly.
2 years 37 weeks ago	Yeah...	...Oregon sucks, generally. Wait -
2 years 37 weeks ago	Kudos...	...on the Better Off Dead username. More kudos for having the balls to crack on someone else's shitty movie references whilst still calling yourself "Franch Dressing".
2 years 47 weeks ago	"Dramatic wife"	Yeesh. At least you didn't wonder what time of the month it was, Brian. Look, I'm not trying to be a dick here, and it's true that a heretic is always scorned more vehemently than a simple non-believer, but it's for damn sure West Virginia knows Rodriguez better than Michigan does at this point. It really is possible that Rodriguez is the mercenary asshole that these people say he is. This is not to say that he's not the asshole y'all needed at the time, but it IS to say that, in time, you will likely come to view his tenure with extremely mixed feelings - as a necessary break with the incestuous, hidebound past, but also as a dick who just didn't "get it" when it came to the "character" (and I acknowledge that that word is doing a lot of work here) of your program. Which is to say, he may very well end up being your very own John Cooper. Of course, he may not - but as a longtime obsessive partisan of my own chosen team, and a longtime interested observer of yours, I can tell you that there are plenty of parallels.
3 years 5 weeks ago	Besides...	...I thought I made it clear that I thought adding Paulus to the team was a GOOD idea, just w/ a pretty hefty downside.
3 years 5 weeks ago	Wow....	...just, wow. How do you know - besieged as you are in Columbus - what RR "appears to have said" to Paulus (and Forcier, for that matter)? Is it on his Twitter? Isn't the whole point here that since there's a scholarship available, Paulus wouldn't be "try(ing) to walk on", but be given a scholarship for this one year because Michigan's QB situation is far from ideal? Can any non-insane parallel be drawn between Michigan's and Ohio State's situation @ QB (other than the # of "scholarship QBs in Spring practice")? Sorry to go off for a second there, but you're missing the point - it's not just that Michigan's coming off the 3-9, or that people just get off on questioning RR - what makes this Paulus thing newsworthy and interesting is that it MAKES IT LOOK LIKE RR IS DESPERATE TO FIND A QB, ANY QB AT ALL, EVEN ONE THAT HASN'T PLAYED FOOTBALL FOR FOUR YEARS BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW AND HE'S EFFED W/OUT ONE. If you read my diary, you'll see that I don't necessarily agree that that's the case, but that doesn't matter - whatever the truth of this is, which is something neither I, nor you, nor almost anybody else (certainly nobody here) knows, the fact remains that the optics of all this are TERRIBLE. There's no getting around that. I know it's probably unfair, but oh well. Wish for good sports media in one hand and shit in the other and see which gets filled up first.
3 years 5 weeks ago	Well...	...there's tens of thousands of us being unleashed on the world every year. We can't all be as smart as me :) Not to be a dick about it, but there's plenty of stupidity on your side as well. I just try my best not to hold it against the rest of you. It helps that I grew up mostly in the Toledo-area battleground around lots of decent people whose only flaw was that they chose the Dark Side ;)
3 years 5 weeks ago	"May" is right...	...Senor 66. The point is that that's a complete unknown at this point. It's just as likely that he'll be Justin Feagin.
