The Best Damn Recruiting Board

I actually do think we see a Michigan resurgence over the next few years, and we get back to the Big 2 glory days of old, though with a solid mid tier - probably Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa. Ohio State comes out on top of that battle I believe. Furthermore, at the end of the day I think there only is going to be one team in the Big 10 that has the ability to beat Alabama 3-4 years from now, and that's OSU. Either USC ends the SEC's reign of terror this year or it will be up to OSU to eventually do it. I think Meyer wants revenge on AL and that's what's driving him. For me, we were partially responsible for the rise of the SEC mania and now we've got to go down and end it. At least that's the way it works in my mind.

Come on, man, let's try to be intellectually honest. You got Thomas, which was a very nice victory for Michigan. Besides that, you haven't landed anyone we've offered from Ohio. I also think you are unlikely to sign a recruit from Ohio that OSU wants in this class, but we'll see. If I'm wrong you can come back and rub it in my face.

Now, saying that you didn't get anyone that OSU was going to offer besides Thomas is not the same as saying you aren't getting some solid signees that are good football players who fit your system. You have a good shot with McCray for instance, who's tape looks really impressive. He'll be a great get if you sign him. Meyer likes Love more, though, and hasn't offered McCray. If Meyer had offered, McCray would be in the S&G. Because he now, sans OSU offer, has Michigan as a finalist, does not mean you can claim victory over OSU and legitimately imply you are dominating Ohio recruiting. You also can't hold out Butt, Taco and Dukes and say the same, b/c we didn't even offer them.

I mean if I pounded out a 400 on the track and then went over to my friend throwing discus and told him that I just crushed him in the 400 he'd look at me like I was crazy. That wouldn't mean I didn't run a decent time in the 400. It just means no-one else was on the track at the time and my friend was setting new records in the discuss.

Now, if you want to say you're getting great players outside of Ohio, I'll agree with you. Morris is a great base to build a class around, and your OL class is frankly extremely impressive. You're also looking good with some other top talent like Levenberry.

App. State. Nuff said.

Its all about quality not quantity. You've gotten one player in Ohio's top 10, Ohio State has 3 players in Ohio's top 10, and is about to have 4 when Shelton Gibson signs up.

Ohio State is getting the best players in Ohio, your getting the leftovers. If we had offered any of the kids you've mentioned, they would be Buckeyes, not scUM-bags.

Also, if you get a committment from anyone of these kids, and later in the recruiting year Urban wants them.....they will probably switch and become Buckeyes.

Why did you go back eight games? That spans three different UM coaches and two different OSU coaches, but doesn't even get in all the games in each of the coaches careers. Why stop there?

Oh, to make yourself feel better. I see.
