If not OSU...

[RB07OSU]

1. ND (I admit to be a closet ND fan...there you have it. However, I am in no way a Charlie Weis fan)
2. MSU
3. Any Big Ten Team other tha scUM or PSU
4. PSU
5. Georgia (big fan of Coach Richt)
6. Oklahoma (like Stoops as well)
7. USC (fun to watch even if they get too much talent)
8. scUM

- As someone else said, I can't stand to see one of our targets pick maize and blue. I hope they get good players for the sake of the rivalry, but just not our guys. Interesting thread though.

All the rest are just annoying.

So if an Ohio kid with an OSU offer chose to go to, say, Indiana (I know, I know, I'm speaking hypothetically), that wouldn't seem like adding insult to injury, moreso than if he went to some sun 'n suds locale with a solid football program?

I always keep an eye on UNC and Stanford. Like to see kids go to strong academic schools where if things don't work out, at least they have a stellar education.....and I'm sure that beats going to tsun

No. The Ohio kid with an OSU offer caveat only applies to that school up north. If for some odd reason an Ohio kid chooses to go somewhere else for school thats annoying but I understand. They are just restless, not traitors.

I wasn't considering the traitor factor so much as the "why the hell would you do that" factor. If an Ohio kid with an OSU offer chooses to go to, say, LSU, yeah, it's disappointing but at least you can take solace in the rationalization that the kid wanted to get away from home, or enjoy a warm weather locale, while playing for a good program, to boot. If the kid chooses Indiana, there's nothing. OSU wanted him and he chose Indiana. Insult to injury.

Being a UC alumn, If it's not Ohio State, I'd like to see them excel in-state at UC.

Ahh I see what you were getting at (the flip flopper crack in the other thread makes sense now ). Yeah I guess that would be kind of insulting but it would be so rare I'd consider it a case more of what was wrong with him than anything wrong with OSU.

Now if you are scUM on the other hand, and you start to see losses of kids you actually wanted to schools like Tulsa and IU....its time to start worrying imo.

Northwestern all the way. Fitz can coach my kids any day.

Not like that would ever happen, though
