| 16 hours 37 min ago | My recollection of his earlier prediction... |
Sam Webb didn't say he had any sources for that information prior to the spring game. He was asked a question of how many more recruits we'd have by the spring game, and he took a guess based on nothing more than his educated speculation. He clearly indicated that it was only speculation, and didn't even have very specific people in mind for that speculation. Knowing that, this sounds different. This is information that he is passing along, rather than a speculation that he was asked to make. |

Nice work again. |

I haven't had Kool-Aid in years, but the stuff you're drinking sure does look tasty from here... I hope you're right. |
| 6 days 16 hours ago | Their legal argument does not apply to the NCAA investigation |
OSU's battle with ESPN is a battle over whether the emails can be made public, but OSU has no argument with keeping those emails from the NCAA investigation. We have to assume the NCAA has already reviewed these emails, and factored in any facts from those emails into the punishment. While we may learn more about what really happened if ESPN wins its case, it shouldn't mean anything additional from the NCAA unless they just didn't do a thorough investigation. It's possible that the NCAA investigation was less than thorough, in which case the NCAA should hope OSU wins the court case. Otherwise, it will make both OSU and the NCAA look even worse than they already do. |

There are so many different elements that go into being successful in any sport, and so many different types of skill that are important, even across different positions within the same sport. To say that wrestlers are the most dedicated and the hardest workers is silly. Have you compared time spent studying film? Does that count toward "dedication and hard work?" Division 1 athletics is hard work. To say that one sport's athletes' efforts are "unmatched" is nonsense, and is likely to be rooted in bias toward a specific sport, or a specific type of effort. Wrestlers are likely, on average, in better shape than athletes in football, due to specialization, but that doesn't mean they are more dedicated or harder workers necessarily. |

"...it probably takes way more hard work and determination than football or basketball"? How do you figure? I think that the level of "hard work and determination" is more variable by individual than it is by sport. In every sport, there is a spectrum of both talent and effort. The extraordinary participants possess both, regardless of sport. I would find it hard to believe that wrestlers are inherently more dedicated to their sport, thereby possessing more determination, and putting in more effort, than do participants of other sports. I've heard many arguments for which sport is the best, but "we try harder than you" is a new one for me. |

including a win in week 1 over Alabama, it would not be an uphill slog to make the NC game. Edit: Man, am I slow. I blame it on my computer. |
| 1 week 3 days ago | Along those same lines... |
I played football for 4 years of high school. My only concussion was when I injured myself at work. I've heard of others receiving work-related injuries as well. Many people have even died in workplace injuries. There's no way I'm letting my kid get a job. |

Yeah, what is Malik McDowell waiting for?!? /s |
| 2 weeks 15 hours ago | I agree for the most part, however... |
The difference, in my opinion, is that I knew I wasn't interested in Petrino's Harley without clicking on it. With this one, I had to click and read a few sentences before I knew that "For all 'The Players'" was refering to golf. For anyone interested, it may be obvious, but for those of us not interested, not so much. |
