Whether on the recruiting trail or in the studio, you will see plenty of the Urb in the new few weeks.

No bowl game appearance? No problem. The Ohio State program will be plenty visible over the next few weeks ...

Good Friday to you and yours.
Looks like we will have to wait until the 4th or 5th of Jan for any new commits, but this next month we should really blow up with lots of national press /TV time coming our way, and it will all add to recruiting strength.

Love you Bax---Premature on the "It-School" theory I think. Miami, Southern Cal, Alabama won national championships before there was the kind of momentum that you are discussing.
At this point it does seem possible though and that is stunning. And recruiting after 2002 was never close to what it is now.

Bax..Another great read..However one caveat IMO..The loss of 15 bowl practices is a major blow for Meyer and the young Buckeyes..Especially for a team that is considered a national champion contender in 13'

Bax,
Great article. As a fellow engineer, I always enjoy reading your articles. Both my brother and I loved the story about Clowney feasting like a raptor. Good read and very humorous as always. I can't wait for spring ball to start up so we can see Washington, Schutt, and Spence after all of the lifting this winter. Plus, I want to see how good Apple, Lewis, and Barrett really are.

Bax- great article as always. Love the "it" factor analogy. However, Saban may have 3 titles in 4 years vs Urban's 2 in 6 and every Bama recruiting class is currently ranked higher than any class in our last 4 including this year's, so do you really think Urban has really passed Satan already?

Good read Bax. Only bone to pick with you is Barrett. Not so sure he is no. 1 dual threat QB. Not surprised he committed early, I am surprised we wanted him. He might be Stanley Jackson II. Not to excited about him. 4.60 in the forty. Great passer...we doubt that. This guy is no Michael Vick, heck he probably is not even Kordell Stewart. Jalin Marshall is on the team though and don't be surprised if he isn't the next QB. Either him or Cardale Jones. Barrett is the new Kenny Guiton. I guess this pick up will prove the Meyer is not perfect.

Why you would make a comment about a current commit and a current player in a negative context like that tommy nick I do not know. I have faith in our coaching staff to make good calls on players. Unfortunately they do not always fulfill their projections, but certainly we have had our share of players exceed projections.
