Good luck to Ben. I hope he does well in TN. I am sure he will.
I got bashed for not being the one to jump on the bandwagon "almost" declaring Ben to Ohio State. Merely, mentioning watch out for other schools like ND in their recruiting attempts to lure him. I got ripped for a simple statement like that. But it looks like I might of been right. If reports are correct looks like it was down to TN and ND.

It makes me even more sick to see Ben to TN now becuase he is exactly the type of DE that gave our OL nightmares last night.

The rest of us will never be privy to the conversational gems that pass between Ben Martin and his mirror at home. But rest assured, we're all missing out on some genuine pearls of wisdom and encouragement.

I consider myself a poster with quite a bit of class, but I get nauseated sometimes at how people go above and beyond to make sure we praise these kids who choose elsewhere and make sure everyone knows we all hope he has a great career wherever else they decide to go. Call me a jerk, but I hope he has an average career. Absolutely healthy and of course fun...but by all means average on the playing field.
Just saying what I think a lot of us are actually thinking.  |

Well I consider this a site with plenty of class....there are literally hundreds of other places a poster, even those with quite a bit of class, can go to bash kids or even air out their frustrations at the kids' choices. However, we go a different route around here...simply because a simple trickle seems to have a way of turning into a stream. We don't want that stream here...while you may think that is what most people here are thinking, I believe most people come here to avoid that very garbage.

Exactally there is no reason to be upset at a kid for making a life changing decision, because you wanted him to go somewhere he didnt feel as comfortable as another place...
I understand it can be frustrating, b/c we love the place so much and think that any kid in their right mind should feel the same way especially one from Ohio, but that is not always the case, so if they want to be a buckeye we welcome them with open arms, if not well then wish them luck besides when they play against us.

Why is there still a discussion still? He is gone and in my mind , forgotten.
