    How can you say that for sure? Would he have been guaranteed to play at OSU this year? Maybe that was a determining factor for him?

    maybe it was, but I know this, if you tell him texas is 5-7 and doesn't reach a bowl in that first year he doesn't go there

    Maybe maybe not. If you told him how the season was going to play out and are going by records, you would have to assume he'd be at Auburn or Oregon. Bottom line is I'm sure he and the others wish their teams had been more successful this year but that doesn't mean they automatically are wishing they had been at OSU. They chose the schools they are at for a reason and its pointless for anyone to rip them for it.

    If a recruit that ND wanted ended up going to osu or somewhere else, adn ND went 10-1 and were in the BCS and OSU went 5-7 and didn't make a bowl, you can best believe that all you nd fans would be doing the same thing. I don't see how people get this upset over these things, it's comical

    You can best believe that wouldn't happen!

    Tough to knock any kid over a college he chooses.

    Hicks - Didn't he grow up down there and was a huge Longhorn fan.

    Floyd - A kid from the East Coast choosing Florida over tOSU? Hmmmm, when I was 18 with no favorite team I probably would of chose Florida over tOSU.

    Henderson - His dad lead him to this point. Can't blame the kid in my opinion.

    Until we win something that actually means something (I will give you the Big 10 championship), a bowl game is just another bowl game unless you are talking about the National Championship.

    Maybe for you it does't mean anything, but to those kids it does. Do you honestly think that they don't care about the fact that they aren't playing in a BCS bowl, or no bowl at all? Every one of the kids mentioned above and pretty much ever one at any school not in a BCS bowl game would kill to be playing in one of those games.

    Great thread Jhay...I'm just pissed i didn't think of it first! :)

    I particularly like the situation Seantrel is in...spending New Years Eve in El Paso TX (a Gulag would be more appealing) playing a team his team should beat by 3 TDs but won't because they don't have a coach. Wonder how much Seantrel's Dad sold him to the "U" for?

    First of all, I can't blame any of them for choosing the schools that they did. They are fine programs with winning traditions and good weather. That being said, I remember Urban Meyer making a plea last year (something to do with a dream he had) to get Floyd. Although, I can't blame Floyd for choosing Florida, it is disappointing that Meyer would make that plea and say he was coming back to coach, then turn around a year later and resign. I know that his health is bad, so it is understandable why he resigned, but I wonder what Floyd would have done if he knew that Meyer was going to end up resigning at the end of this year

    how fucking retarded can you be?

    Ok, what exactly is the significance of the Sugar Bowl in the grand scheme of things? Its not like it is for the national championship game or will have any bearings on the national championship game. Until the NCAA actually decides to switch to a playoff, all bowl games except for the NC game are technically meaningless exhibitions...

    You ain't gettin' a damn play-off anytime soon so quit with it already.

    The significance of it is pretty fucking simple, other than those playing in the NCG, or other BCS Bowl game, the rest would switch places with your squad and play in it rather than their "meaningless exhibition" game, roughly about 112 of them.

However I don't think they need bashed for their decisions, they are young kids and have a lot at stake and on their plates when they make their decisions.

    Relax, relax. Nobody's bashing anyone, especially 18 year old kids. Just poking a little fun at people who dare to pick a school other than Ohio State. Must've missed the smileys in the original post.

    I agree - I'll take players that truly want to be Buckeyes.
  • Writerbuckeye
    The view of this original poster does not represent that of all Buckeye fans.

    In fact, I would hope most Buckeye fans would never post such drivel.

    Those young men made their choices and I wish them well.

    If they play against OSU, I don't wish them success, but I do wish them well.

    Didn't know that I'd cause a ruckus with my point about the Sugar Bowl.

    Yeah, I get it, the Sugar Bowl will be a nice experience for the players, and yes they will play in a "BCS" bowl. But other than that what is it? It is an exhibition. Just like Miami and Florida's bowl game is going to be.

    My point was that even though we are playing in a BCS bowl, it really at the end of the day is no different than playing in the Gator Bowl (except for the whole your school and conference splits $20 mill thing. But the players don't see any of that, so that is neither here nor there). I just find it funny we are beating our chests about playing in the Sugar Bowl. Do they put Sugar Bowl Champions in the ring of honor around the 'Shoe?

    Where, oh where, did I ever say I wish them ill and bad fortune? Quite the opposite, I wished them "Merry" Christmas and "Happy" Holidays.

    BTW, it's not drivel, it's called "jest" and "humor". I don't wish anything but the best for them- they seem to be classy kids for the most part; none of them committed to OSU and then stabbed us (coaches, fans, etc.) in the back by pulling a LeBron-style decision. I just though it was ironic that, a year later, after myself and other Buckeye fans were fretting over the destination of three talented players, those three schools basically tanked (according to expectations) and Ohio State did just fine.

    Some of you are taking the jest a little too seriously.

    Yeah, the Sugar Bowl = all the other bowls as long as there's no playoff, but I'll take Ohio State's season over the other three anyday (Sun Bowl, Outback Bowl, No Bowl).

    After reading about the coronaries and heart attacks some on this site had after one OSU loss, I could only imagine what would happen after a 7-5 season.

    You don't think players notice a difference in attention and media coverage in a BCS game vs. a Gator Bowl? National television, prime time tv slot, more intense media coverage leading up to game, etc.

    Not to mention the effects it may have on potential recruits. Whether you personally recognize a difference or not, there definitely is one.

    Completely true.


    And to the OP....a "Lebron like Decision"....GTFO. Choosing where to play your college ball when you're going to be good enough to play on sundays is rather inconsequential relative to Lebron's, except to people like you who care too much. You have no idea the extenuating circumstances that led to their decision of their respective school over Ohio State, so I'll rephrase my original statement.

    A) I plainly stated they did not do anything selfish with deciding their college choice, like LeBron did. I was not equating the magnitude of their decision with his, although that's hard to comprehend for people like you who care too much about my seeming to care too much.

    B)You have no clue, nor does anyone else, if any of those three will be good enough to play on Sundays

    Of course I don't, and neither do you. My post was done to A) celebrate the fact that my team is doing well, and B) celebrate the fact that other teams aren't. That's called being a fan.
