SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE HAS AN IMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, JOE BURROW STILL ON GOOD TERMS WITH BUCKEYES AND URBAN MEYER, AND THE TOP 150 COLLEGE GAMES OF ALL TIME
“ON GOOD TERMS.” I'm at the point where Joe Burrow could legit win the Heisman at LSU and I'd still be fully convinced that Ohio State's quarterbacks room was better served in the long run for letting him walk.
But that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been awesome at Ohio State, it doesn't mean the quarterback battle wasn't every bit as close as Meyer publicly said it was, and it doesn't mean that Burrow doesn't still believe and wish he could have been Ohio State's starter.
But it also doesn't mean there's any resentment.
From Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated:
... “He felt like he won that job,” (Joe Burrow's brother) Dan says. “That really messed with him mentally.”
Despite all of it, Joe is on good terms with his former coaches, one more than all the rest. Urban Meyer still texts Joe before and after nearly every single game. Does he believe Meyer will stay retired? “He’s trying his best to do it. I think he wants to be able to do it. Knowing Coach Meyer… I think it’ll probably last three years,” Joe says. Meanwhile, those in Ohio are rooting for a Buckeyes-Tigers meeting in the College Football Playoff, says Jimmy. Entering this week, Ohio State and LSU have arguably looked the best among any other college football teams. They are winning by a clip of 27 and 40 points, respectively. “It’s hard to not think about it,” Jimmy admits. “It is brought up around here. The people in Ohio, that’s their dream matchup. I’m sure (Joe) would want that too.” The two schools feel like they’re on a collision course...
The whole "on good terms" thing isn't just a nice thing to say to the media, either. There's by all accounts nothing but love between Joey B and his former teammates and coaches. Shit, he even walked freely around Ohio State's facilities during his bye week last year.
I've said this before, but I will root for Joe Burrow until the very second he runs out on the field against the Buckeyes, in which case he becomes prey and I will be rooting for The Predator to fold him across his shoulder like a sack of flour. But with love!

Re: Joe Burrow could legit win the Heisman at LSU and I'd still be fully convinced that Ohio State's quarterbacks room was better served in the long run for letting him walk.
I agree with that. Haskins was better than Burrow was last year and 2 years (or more) of Fields is better than one year of Burrow at Ohio State this year.

The legend of Joe Burrow: From overlooked at Ohio State to Heisman frontrunner at LSU
Pete Thamel
Yahoo Sports Nov 6, 2019, 6:48 PM
He joined a quarterback room at Ohio State in the summer of 2015 that doubled as a fishbowl, deemed the country’s most compelling position group a few minutes after Ohio State won the 2014 national title. J.T. Barrett stuck around to battle Cardale Jones for the starting job throughout the season, while Braxton Miller exited to chase glory in the wide receiver room. The whole world watched, fixated on every twist.
Then there was Burrow, ignored publicly and tested privately by his teammates and coaches. Urban Meyer, who is notoriously hard on young quarterbacks, spent parts of Burrow’s freshman season declaring he belonged in Division III. The veterans showed the rookie plenty of tough love, too, renaming him “John Burrow” because J.T. Barrett’s first name is Joe.
“It wasn’t my favorite thing,” Joe Burrow said with a chuckle in a phone interview on Monday. “I thought I’d get a cooler nickname.”
His whole freshman year followed that same unpleasant path, as Joe Burrow swallowed the realization of how much better he needed to get while experiencing daily the wrong end of rites of passage. Jones said it wasn’t uncommon for Burrow to answer something in a meeting and for him to cut him off: “Hey John, shut the f - - - up.”
Burrow later confessed to Beck a pithy summary of his freshman year: “I hated all you guys.”
Cont'd ...

Jesus..if that happened to Joe when he was at OSU, then that is truly embarrassing. Not surprised that Beck was the miserable failure that he was. Glad Joe is doing so well. And I think he has handled the transition as well as humanly possible. Go beat the shit out of Bama this weekend.
