tOSU haters...going the extra mile...to suck at life

2008-02-08T16:07:00.000-08:00

The UM fan seen above knocking off bank in FLA, strikes again!

tOSU haters send fake letters to recruits...classy

What sort of classless asshole would send letters to high school kids telling them their scholarship was taken away and that their would-be head coach wished them "good luck". What kind of total trash would do this? UM fans surely would say, the same trashy fans who piss in beer bottles and throw them at UM fans in Cbus...can't disagree with that I suppose but this is really going the extra, albeit felonious, mile. Seriously...what is wrong with people? I would like to know who hates tOSU THIS BADLY...it's college sports people, if you want to commit a crime(mail fraud, simple fraud?) please try to make money out of it...I'm sure a judge and/or jury would probably be more lenient on a clown who went criminal for cash rather than to defraud a high schooler...again, classy.

Some UM blogger pushed me to this...

2008-02-07T19:25:00.000-08:00

To be fair, can we assume that football pre-1950 was not exactly relevant? Sure, I can understand why you would not want to consider this, seeing as the majority of the UM program's success came pre-1950 but honestly, do those numbers really have anything to do with your current program? More specifically, does that have anything to do with anything but the 10 year old sweatshirts you wear with your "NC years" on it? Regarding split championships...that is what they are...split, noted as so.
I give you statistics...
Post 1950
tOSU (2) consensus National Championships ('68, '02 BCS); (4) split National Championships ('54, '57, '61, '70)
UM (1) split National Championship ('97)
So Ohio State has 6 claimed Championships since 1950 and two of them are %100 inarguable.
Michig@n has 1 claimed championship since 1950, which is also claimed by Nebraska
One of the best parts about this is that Michigan State...yes Michigan State, has one consensus Championship and two split! That’s three claimed NC's...ouch UM, ouch.

What have you done for me lately?
Yes, tOSU has lost two straight NCG's...and that made their BCS record...
tOSU
4-2 (wins: '99 Sugar, '02 NCG Fiesta, '03 Fiesta, '05 Fiesta; losses: '06 NCG, '07 NCG)
UM
1-2 (wins: '00 Orange; losses: '03, '04 Rose)

(years are listed as season, not bowl date)

BCS STATS

I respect UM but I can't understand the arrogance. The "we are the greatest" shit should probably get some actual meaningful wins behind it sometime this decade, just maybe.

Bring your hate to Columbus, 11/22/08, good luck.

TP wants tOSU, pops wants PSU

2008-02-07T18:57:00.000-08:00

Apparently...I stress the distrust...Terrelle Pryor was going to sign (on NSD) with tOSU until his dad pushed him to wait and look into Penn St. further. My first thought is...why would a dad push his son to look at a program that literally has nothing better than his son's actual choice? What does PSU have to offer that tOSU does not? Pryor has already said "I can't see myself in a place like [Happy Valley]."

tOSU loses out on Brandon Harris

2008-02-06T10:03:00.000-08:00

Harris picks Miami, FLA

He went ahead with the theory of "anything worth doing, is worth over-doing" by throwing on the helmet instead of a hat. At least the kid put on a suit to be on TV, I'll give him that. Not to say I didn't see this coming but I was holding out some hope for him. I thought maybe the DB factory at tOSU would bring him in but Miami isn't exactly not putting DBs in the league, a solid choice if you like warm weather, terrible facilities and a stadium that is...not your own. Again, since I have been a cold weather person my whole life, I can't under estimate the "warm weather" factor.

Shameless Pryor Content!!

I won't bore anyone with my speculation about TP. I will serve up some columns that have popped up in the past hour or two.

Terrelle Pryor vs. Ronald Curry (Fox Sports)

Detroit Free Press echoes Pitt-Post Gazette "Terrelle Pyror's acquaintances say he will chose Ohio State over Michigan"

The Free Press article is just ammo for the "Shocking Recruiting Coup!" story they are poised to run Thursday morning. Setting up RR for the "upset recruiting victory" stance is not quite as bad as the "Terrelle Pryor is a Corvette taking, tOSU bribe taking, dirty cheater" BS that was being spewed on UM blogs in weeks leading up to this craziness. So if UM gets Pryor, what about the Corvette? I began by promising that I would not bore you with speculation; however, I am blowing that out of the water. I say TP is a UM lean in all honesty. The "Corvette" incident was a way to prepare an explaination for the UM program savior losing such a "perfect fit" superstar. If they do get TP, he and RR should get working on their gameplan for 11/22/08.

Keith Wells to be a Buckeye

2008-02-04T16:06:00.000-08:00

The 6'5'', 235 lb, one-time Florida State commitment, has verbally commited to play for tOSU and JT. Scout lists Wells as a 4 star DE and has noted for his explosiveness to the ball. The commitment continues JT's hot streak and could be a piece in one of the highest rated recruiting classes ever at tOSU, quite a strong statement. In light of the current verbals and the possible addition of certain 5 stars, who will remain unnamed for jinxing purposes, could be far and away the top class of the last 5 years, for any school.

Giants shock Pats...reward zero former Bucks.

2008-02-04T09:26:00.000-08:00

Normally, if tOSU lays and egg in the College season, the Super Bowl can bring some condolence to tOSU nation by shelling out rings to former Bucks. Congrats to all the former tOSU players who will get a ring from that shocking upset...a total of zero. A tall task for the Giants, seeing as tOSU is the highest producing NFL program currently. (53 total players, 48 active)

In a close second
MIA FLA (51 total, 48 active)
UM (45)

FLA (38)

LSU (35)
USC (31)

Even more tOSU draft love, in the 2004 NFL Draft, 14 Buckeyes were drafted, a record number for any school in a single draft.

Vernon Ghoston (picture above, handing out free tickets to the gun show) will be the next tOSU first round selection.

Here are the former tOSU players currently on NFL rosters...
Will Allen, Tim Anderson, Rodney Bailey, LeCharles Bentley, David Boston, Bobby Carpenter, Drew Carter, Adrien Clarke, Nate Clements, Na'il Diggs, Mike Doss, Simon Fraser, Joey Galloway, Chris Gamble,Ted Ginn Jr, Terry Glenn, Marcus Green, Andy Groom, Anthony Gonzalez,Roy Hall, Ben Hartsock, A.J. Hawk, Santonio Holmes, Kevin Houser, Josh Huston, Michael Jenkins, Mike Kudla, Nick Mangold, Donnie Nickey, Mike Nugent, Shane Olivea, Orlando Pace, Kenny Peterson, Ryan Pickett, Quinn Pitcock, Antonio Pittman, Robert Reynolds, Nate Salley, Darnell Sanders, Anthony Schlegel, Darrion Scott, Rob Sims, Will Smith, Troy Smith, Shawn Springs, Alex Stepanovich, Mike Vrabel, Tyson Walter, Donte Whitner, Matt Wilhelm, Dan Wilkinson, Antoine Winfield, and Ashton Youboty.

Players like Bam Childress are on the practice squads across the league but are nearly impossible to track.

Please, feel free to waste your time looking up who is active/who is not, only to try and disprove the above listings. Players such as Kevin Everette (TE, BUF, MIA FLA) are still on the roster so take that for what you will. Bottom line, tOSU is a NFL factory, not to say other programs are not but clearly there is a leader.

Saturday night recruiting in Jeannette, PA

2008-02-03T15:26:00.000-08:00

The much anticipated basketball game in Jeannette, PA on Saturday night went as expected. Pryor scored 26 points, had 12 rebounds and 6 blocks. New UM coach RichRod was on hand with an entourage of assistant coaches as was Tressel (including QB coach, Joe Daniels). Who knows what to think about the flurry of comments made in the wake of this recruiting battle culmination. Once thought to be an tOSU lean, Pryor has since given the media (undeservingly including myself) a world of material in regards to the his uncertainty and the everpresent recruiting rumor mill.
Newspaper account of the game...

Anybodys guess on what was said between JT and RR.
JT sans sweatervest.

TP smells fear in the defender...

tOSU pulls offer to DeVoe Torrence

2008-02-03T15:24:00.000-08:00

tOSU has confirmed that they have officially recinded their scholarship offer to Massilon RB, DeVoe Torrence. Company line is that the renig was due to "off-the-field issues". Rumors are swirling about what those issues are, including a criminal case supposedly involving an underage girl. No word on charges being filed but clearly JT is trying to avoid recruiting another MoC.

Dead story but a good picture...

That is one classy lady. Got to love Trey Wingo in the back slowly realizing how the train is coming off the tracks. I don't normally get into "calling for people's jobs" but if I am spared seeing her enormous chicklets on ESPN again, I will shed no tears.

In a terrible twist of fate, the network that has cameras on every player of every game they air, we can't even get a grainy, cell phone video of this...seriously. The youtube generation fails miserably on this one.

Welcome!

This is the first post on tOSU Planet. It is Superbowl Sunday and only a few days from NSD. Posts on Terrelle Pryor's status, DeVoe Torrence and his yanked offer and general tOSU news on the way! Thank you for visiting and GO BUCKS.
