My son and I, and my friend from Chicago, are in a car about 3 hours north of Miami. We're driving 3,000 miles to support the Buckeyes and I just wanted to say that all this negativity is not productive. It's been a great road trip so far, and I'm going to able to say I was there when we...

No. It wasn't Tom. However, the person I talked to is no longer on the staff.

I just spoke with someone who who formerly coached football at Central Catholic HS in Toledo. Here's our brief conversation: Me: I suppose you know DeShone Kizer. Coach: Really well, actually. Me: Is he the real deal? Coach: Absolutely. Good kid, too. Smart. Very good family...

I logged on to BP just to make sure everyone saw the meltdown link that was posted above. Entertaining stuff. One of my favorites: THIS IS WHY THIS FUCKING GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED ON A GOD DAMN SATURDAY! ND WINS? I GET FUCKING WASTED! BAMA WINS? I GET FUCKING WASTED EVEN WORSE! BRADE HOKE...

Emotional exhaustion on ND board I laughed my arse off. I haven't posted in recent memory, but had to share this one. http://www.ndnation.com/boards/showpost.php?b=football;pid=341002;d=all

Forget conference expansion. If football is driving expansion/realignment, then shouldn't we drop Minnesota and Indiana since football is only a club sport at those two schools?

Why does anyone ever say, "Trust the coaches," on this board? This is a forum. We discuss our points of view. Debate is what makes a forum vital. If a poster trusts the coaches implicitly, then why post an opinion? You have no opinion. I've been bothered by this for years. If your...

Haven't been to BP in a while and just happened to click on this thread. I am privileged to have read Ramzy's story about Kris. Well written and truly moving. I am sure Kris' family appreciates the effort to keep his memory alive. I hope his story becomes well circulated. Does a true...

Listening to Eric Clapton's first solo album (1970). Solid record.

I've endured reading what is likely several hundred of your posts on this subject and this is your most reasonable analysis.

Does it mean anything that no one has posted in the "I stand with Jim Tressel" thread for over two weeks? Is the writing on the wall? A question I routinely ask my friends is, "What percent chance do you think JT will survive this mess?" I generally get a 50-50 response. But that seems...

Thanks, Matt, you have skills. I don't care which plays are considered the Top 10. I enjoyed watching the vid. Well done.

Pretty good read. I particularly loved this comment: As far as Saturdays are concerned, newly christened assistant head coach Luke Fickell will assume head coaching duties and implement the game plan formulated by Tressel. That said, I would love to see a Woody Hayes impersonator lead the...

This is the point I have been trying to make. There is some truth here to be sure; however, I think some on this board are naive if they think that all of the "haters were haters already." There are many college football fans who formerly admired Coach Tressel beyond most coaches. Criticism...

How do you make the leap that I haven't spoken to people about this? A bit presumptous, eh? I am a teacher and come in contact with several hundred people a day. I can tell you that public perception outside Buckeye fandom is negative. Deal with it. I've talked with numerous graduates of...

Jax is taking a lot of heat for assuming what appears to be a contrary position on this board. However, intelligent discourse and debate has been a hallmark of this forum and should never be discouraged. Frankly, it's what makes BP great. Jax maintains an unpopular view and is therefore...

Can we get back to discussing breast milk?

Thanks for posting. I was pretty sure tOSU still had a football team.

Herbstreit began his national broadcasting career by making a calculated effort to appear especially unbiased toward tOSU. I suppose he knew it was risky, but he thought he could gain respect as a journalist if he was especially hard on his alma mater. However, few can deny he has often pushed...

I regret using the Coach Hayes illustration. Didn't help my argument. I was trying to vividly illustrate how Coach Tressel made a calculated decision as opposed to an impulsive reaction. I am not trying to equate the two coaches. Here's my take: (1) Coach Tressel had ample time to properly...
