Forde called him a narcissist, huh? That's like Stalin calling Hitler a dictator. Go figure.

It’s funny because Forde was a very good collegiate swimmer. His daughter is an elite swimmer at Stanford. But who writes about swimming? And if they do, who reads it? (Other than our obsession with Michael Phelps for one week every four years).
When he pops off I always have to ask myself if he’d do this if instead of a daughter swimming, he had a son playing college football?
Dude was an internet pioneer in journalistic narcissism with his old Forde Yard Dash column. I just cannot grasp his angle, and he’s even on the Big Ten Network payroll as a guest on the studio shows.

Meyer was asked if this will finally be "Michigan's year." His response really couldn't have been any more perfect: "Year for what?"
At the 1:41 mark where Quinn asks Bush if Harbaugh is the problem and Bush responds that Harbaugh is indeed the issue, look at Urban's shit-eatin' grin...

I just realized I have totally forgotten the name of the reporter who started the Zach Smith scandal. I remember calling him McMuffin but I have no idea what his real name is now. Dude hasn't written a single relevant piece since last year

I think he recently broke the news about something but can’t remember what. Tate losing the starting job, maybe? Master Teague injury? Something. Meh.

Man's as savage off the field as he was on it.
I love it.

He's a real savage, especially if you piss him off. I have no doubt that we would've scored again on scUM last year and went for two if not for the injury.

SKULL SESSION: URBAN MEYER NOT A FAN OF THE TRANSFER PORTAL, WHAT HISTORY SAYS ABOUT THE BUCKEYES THIS SEASON, AND LANE KIFFIN PRAISES JUSTIN FIELDS
ANTI-PORTAL. It looks like Urban Meyer picked a great time to get out of the coaching game because he is not a fan of the transfer portal.
Here's what he had to say about the transfer quarterback fad on his Fox Sports' football kickoff show:
“After Week 5 with Dwayne Haskins, I’m walking off the practice field. Ryan Day, Mark Pantoni, our director of recruiting comes up, says ‘We need to start watching other quarterbacks in case Dwayne (Haskins) leaves. It just didn’t feel right. It feels like free agency. We’re in there watching players from every team, every week. So I’m watching Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, Brandon Wimbush, other quarterbacks. That doesn’t feel right. It’s alarming.”
I don't know exactly how Meyer would have played the transfer portal if he were still the head coach, but I have a hard time pretending one of the most competitive guys on the planet – a guy who used the phrase "as long as they’re keeping score, we want to try to win" last week in retirement – is cool to just let everyone else have an advantage without using it himself.
I'm not calling him a liar – I totally believe him when he says he didn't like it and that it's "alarming." But the thing is, just because it "didn't feel right" doesn't mean he wouldn't have done it. Cause when push comes to shove, I'd bet it would feel a lot less right to let a generational talent with his wet dream of a skillset slip through his fingers to a rival, especially if Pantoni and Day are on board with the move.
As for Fields, as long as Ryan Day were still around – and there's a very good chance he would be, given that Gene Smith essentially confirmed he was already named Ohio State's head coach in waiting – he'd still be a Buckeye.
Maybe I'm totally wrong and the "Urban Meyer is still Ohio State's head coach" multiverse includes a Scarlet and Gray clad Tate Martell hoisting a Heisman Trophy in December, but I think QB1 would still be Fields if Meyer stayed another year.
