Plus we have Butch Reynolds and a track record of getting players NFL-Ready. Look at what we did with A.J Hawk,a former 3 star recruit and made him into a top 5 pick and future Pro Bowler

the fact that CK was smart enough to leave the state shows he was an outlier to the rest of the general population. |

Guys, part of the problem is perception is reality and every fricking media member turned the NC game, Sugar and Rose Bowls into a crucification of the best Midwest teams (Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan) and completely prostituted the good ole boy SEC as a result.
Furthermore, recruiting services tend to rate kids out of the South or West higher (at least the skilled positions) and therefore, the Midwest kids get inferiority complexes...which may explain RoJo and Dionte Allen's decisions to go to USC and Free Shoes U, respectively, and get away from the Midwestern bias/negative slow stereotypes.
Having said that, I would love to see Beanie break off an 80 yard run when we play SC in 2008 and then hear about how the Big 10 all of a sudden has "more athletes" and is "so much faster" than the PAC 10. What a JOKE!

Amazing.. We play one bad game and all the sudden its because we are slow. We were slower at 1 position than Florida, and that was Offensive Tackle. You couple a pretty suspect game plan, over confidence, 51 days off, plus a slow start and thats how you get a 24 point loss.
Let the schools' like USC, Miami, and whoever else have the "we have better speed" reputation.. because we have reputations like "we have put more players into the league" also "We have THE best facilities in the nation" and finally "We care about you as a person just not a player"
I'm just glad Tressel tells it like it is.. Doesn't sugar coat anything, doesn't promise a player anything, and surely doesn't dis any other schools.

That only happened in the SEC while Ron Zook was around (I don't know how else he can talk guys into playing for him)...then Urban Meyer had to kick most of those guys off our team for getting in fights with the Frats on campus... |

You may not be aware of this but Florida is not the sole member of the SEC...
