Apparently Terrelle Pryor sealed the deal by convincing Givens that the Buckeyes where going to get over the hump soon with the help of two great recruiting classes in a row, in 2008 and 2009.

It kills me when I read "get over the hump," because I'm thinking, Geesh, we just won the title in 2002 and have won three other bowls, two in the BCS, and played for two more national titles since. What hump do we need to get over?
Then I realize that all the kids in these classes we're targeting now were in, like, the 6th and 7th grade in 2002 and probably don't remember that season so well, if at all. Several of them probably weren't even interested in football yet, or at least hadn't played in any sort of organized game. The kids that are part of the incoming class for 08 were about 12 years old when we won the title.
Time flies.
I'm getting old.
