The whole clarett [censored] was blowing up again and M&M WENT TO BAT FOR OSU BIGTIME AND WHY , I think its cause of Tressel and Herbie, to class act buckeyes.

I agree...I wasn't specifically replying to you, but more the posts from the last page... 
EDIT: Now that I look back, I guess I was pointing to you from one of your posts from the last page...

disappointing news
on Devon Still... that update sounded pretty bad for OSU
1. how can he not have met his position coach for OSU yet? He was on an official visit in September.
2. 3 hours to PSU yet 9 to OSU? Hmmmm, that sounds off a bit. It's more like 8.5 to OSU and 4 to PSU.
I'd say this looks 70/30 in favor of PSU

From my door (I am probably 10 min from where he lives) to the OSU campus it is more like 7.5-8 hrs PSU from here is about 3.25-3.5 hrs depending on the route and traffic.
From that update and what I was told this evening by someone at Howard VoTech, PSU is looking pretty good for Devon. I know our experts have said this one was going to OSU, but I think something changed in the last 48 hours.
In that article he mentions BranDon Snow (another local kid from Wilmington). I'm sure Snow didn't tell Devon about being in JoePa's "dog house" for almost 2 years while a kid with half his talent started at FB. Or that they picked up several good DT/DE's last year |

I know there are a million factors in making a college choice, AND has not signed with PSU just yet, but...I have the hardest time comprehending why a student would choose to go to a school that's been sliding (minus their miracle season last year) for a decade now and is practically guaranteed to lose 3-5 a year. I have this same question every single year which tells me, I just don't get it and probably never will...either that or I just don't want to get it because I want these recruits. Me personally, I want to go somewhere where my odds of playing for an NC are highest...some kids want PT and a home environment. Without this stuff though, of course recruiting wouldn't be recruiting and it would only be about a 1/3rd as interesting. After that rant, I'd really like to get Still in this class...we'll see.

A lot of 17 and 18 year old kids don't understand yet that graduating from college is a function of hard work and has very little to do with where you go. All these programs have the athletic/academic support in place to get a degree. But even with JT as coach it would seem that PSU is still playing the "grad rate" card with recruits when they go head to head with OSU. You were able to hear it last season with the MD/DC players we were after and now Still seems to have bought into. | |
