...and that's where my ill will started. Their hatred for Rodriguez will only keep their hard-on for tOSU down for a little while. After that their inferiority complex will once again rear its ugly head.

As for Devon never got much playing time so he must not be very good. I give you one Roy Hall. Fifth round pick in the NFL draft, and only an injury kept him from playing this year for the defending Super Bowl champions. Yeah...Roy sucks too.

You got me all wrong i wasn't trying to disrespect devon. I went to the spring game and he looked great had some nice catches. I for one thought he was going to have a breakout season. I loved his size, we have no receiver thats as big as him. And i know he was hurt, but he played towards the end of the season at the end of some games. And it seems coach tressel gave up on him because he played sanzenbacher and washington ahead of him. Im sure he wasn't 100 perrcent but he still got some pt however it was after the frosh got in. And i guess im wrong on this but i thought most schools shy away from getting transfers that only have one year of eligibility left like devon. I don't know if i recall ohio state in recent memory taking a transfer that only had one year left. But i could be wrong. I think he could do some things at WV but people were saying he was going to be there number one guy in some post And i thought that was a little bash on WV. I think he has more talent than any receiver they have but he would need to learn the system and get healthy. There not wide receiver u but they have some talented guys. And i would love to see lyons go there and get alot of pt but lets not forget he hasn't gotten alot of pt for us. Not saying he a bad player he just has been injured and was burried on the depth chart before that. Nobody wants him to succeed more than me. Sry for any misunderstanding and the long post i wasn't trying to bash on any buckeyes. No disrespect intended. And goodluck devon any what ever you do. Any chance he stays and gets some Playing time next season?

Devon Lyons has been a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes and will have earned a degree here. That is something that nobody can take away from him. Surely, he hasn't experienced all that he hoped to at Ohio State but he has achieved the most important thing, the degree. He can also hold his head high about his abilities on the field. One wonders what might have been without his bad luck.

Devon, we all wish you good luck if you decide to play another year at WVa. You will always be a Buckeye.

Devon Lyons and Albert Dukes are attempting to graduate this spring and leave the Ohio State football program, but that wouldn't necessarily mark the end of their college careers.

The NCAA loophole that allows a graduate student to transfer and play immediately closes Aug. 1. If Lyons and Dukes can graduate this spring and enroll in grad school this summer, they presumably could play next season at another school.

Dukes, a Florida native, has been looking at Valdosta State, in Georgia. Lyons' case is more complicated. The Pennsylvania native's father is ill and he is looking into a hardship waiver that would allow him to play closer to home.

If neither graduates before the deadline, there is a chance they will use their final year of eligibility at Ohio State this fall.

A whisper within the WVU football family is that a transfer might be forthcoming. One that could bolster the receiving corps.

Devon Lyons, the older brother of sophomore Mountaineer Wes, apparently has a year of eligibility left after heretofore playing for Ohio State. The older Lyons could receive a hardship waiver and join WVU this season.

Devon Lyons is listed at 6-4, 214 pounds and played in all 12 Buckeye games as a freshman. He sat out 10 games in 2005 with an ankle injury.

WVU's staff is expecting to know whether Devon Lyons can transfer and play within a week to 10 days.

If he can, don't be surprised if he's a starter at the Z position.

Good luck to Devon at WVU......he looked fantastic during the spring game last year.

Hopefully he can finally get a full-healthy season.
