This is just fantastic. ROBO, MJ. Boone and now JL.

These guys know that there's some unfinished business....

GO BUCKS!!

Man, I am so going to enjoy another year of this guy in scarlet and gray!

My, my, my...now, if I was a recruit considering Ohio State or TSUN, what would I be thinking about this?

Well done, JL!

[Steve19]

Damn. I have goosebumps.

YouTube - OSU Defense v. Purdue

its really hard to imagine how good our defence will be next year, i mean we though we would be a really good defence without these guys, but when you add them its sick, and then you add terrelle pryor(fingers crossed)i dont see us losing a game running a two QB offence!

Hmmm well lets say that I was a quaterback, hypothetically of course, considering both scUM and tOSU. Would I rather be getting my ass kicked by JL and his buddies or watching him kick some no-name scUm QB's ass on November 22, 2008?
Hard Decision folks.

Way to go James on the amazing choice. It will be a pleasure to watch you next year.

Oh, and JL you are the MAN, welcome back for another huge year at THE Ohio State University!

That is good, lol. But, this is huge for the Bucks, as was all of the other Buckeyes coming back, I can't wait to see this team next year.

Dear 08-09 season,

WELL,....FUUUAAUUUCK ME!,

10 Big Ten Teams

[jazzman]

Wow!!! Well I must say it has been a happy surprise to see almost all of those terrific juniors returning!

Can't wait to see......Wells running behind Boone.

As for that defence.......wow....USC watch out!! Their new starting QB, Sanchez/Mustaine are in for a treat......A TON OF SOD!!

My fiance lives in Columbus, and was at an appointment for some wedding stuff, and she said some 80 year old lady was listening to the radio and screamed. My fiance looked at her and the 80 year old woman said "Did you hear the good news??" JL's decision has touched the hearts of a whole variety of Buckeyes. It is really a great time to be a Buckeye, and I thank these juniors for helping me to realize that after a tough January.

And if our DB's learn to catch that ball I won't have to listen to that damn "almost intercepted!!" anymore. God, those 2 words have come to [censored] me off!

But seriously.. Next year's defense could be simply unreal. They will also have something that we sorely lacked this year; senior leadership. Can't be overrstated how important that is.

Way to go JL! What an unselfish (and, I guess selfish at the same time) thing to do! Bring those 121 tackles plus in next year and bring one home for the ages as one of the best Buckeye teams of all time!

We lost 12 starters last year and made it back to the BCS NC Game, and we're losing three this year with a stellar recruiting class coming in. It's a great time to be a Buckeye! Man, the rest of college football is going to hate us!

Just a heads up we are losing 4 starters. Barton, Johnson, Gholston, and Grant. But, either way we have good backups to fill up there spots.
