High Expectations spot-on for Meyer & tOSU

  • The successful decade that was the Jim Tressel Era came to a crashing halt on Memorial Day 2011 and the Luke Fickell era was anything but easy on the eyes - or heart - of this enormous fan base. But with the November 28th, 2011 hire of new head coach Urban Meyer - all bets are officially off. Buckeyes fans want to win, and they now have the man that will see to it that Ohio State does just that.

  • The recruiting landscape within Ohio alone is enough to build a champion, yet Meyer has the ability to not only go out of state, but to go completely out of the region when need be and pull in highly ranked athletes to play in his system. These kids WANT to play for Meyer...

    "(4-Star OL) Taylor Decker recruited us," said Meyer. "He called me and said, 'I want to be a Buckeye.' Whoa, what are you talking about? ... Then his high school coach called us and said, He wants to come to Ohio State."

    Decker arrived in Columbus on January 14 for a visit - and committed the next day.

  • Will they win in year two of the Urban Meyer Era? College football is too unpredictable to tell. They're all young men making young-men decisions. The SEC is as dominant at the top, with six straight national titles, as any conference in distant memory. But one thing is for sure - Urban Meyer will bring hardware back to Columbus with him before all is said and done. Gold pants, B1G titles and crystal footballs. For everyone who has piled on over the last twelve months - from those in Ann Arbor, Madison, and SEC country to those posted up at the headquarters of ESPN, Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News - there's simply no way around it. Urban Meyer wins, and he wins big.

    The benefactor? THE Ohio State University.

  • Nice article 3yrds. It will come, sooner or later, it will come. Be patient my friends.

    I really don't know which part I am more excited about - this year and how to destroy every other teams dreams, or next year, and how we are preseason top 5 and on the way to the crystal ball.

  • "This entire team is pissed off and have no intentions of proving their value with out-of-conference blowouts. They want to rub Bret Bielema's smug look into the ground - collect gold pants like it's their life goal"

    LOVED this part!
