Napier is WR, right? That's hard to think about, whether he did a good job or not.
Cooper was going to be good no matter what. Was great as soon as he hit the field as a Freshman. White was always decent, just got hurt. C. Jones regressed, and no one else got many shots.
Bobby "aaron "fucking " boone" Williams....

I don't foresee him being a big hit in the NFL. The running/spread QBs don't seem to translate well.
Agreed. I can't really say the WR's underperformed, but anyone not named Cooper seemed to have problems getting separation consistently... not necessarily a coaching issue.

ICE COLD DR PEPPER HERE
Ardarius Stewart looked real good when White was injured. Chris Black looked good when he got on the field.
Christion Jones is just a mystery. No clue what the fuck happened to that kid. He was awful, just awful at everything but blocking.

20. Auburn
23. Wisconsin (beat Auburn in Outback Bowl)

Is this some elaborate troll? Are you all in on it? Are you telling me Ohio State won the national championship?
No seriously, it was Alabama, right? LSU?
South Florida?

That's not as bad as the TCU fans that think Wisconsin intentionally got blown out to keep them out of the playoff.
Exactly.
Yeldon fumbling the ball? Why I've never heard of such a thing.
Bama should be fine because they recruit well, but obviously most of the defense will be filled with unknowns. You'd think that they'll be okay, but that Wisconsin game to start out the year looks pretty brutal right now given the unknowns.
I fail to understand why the Detroit Free Press continues to employ him. The only thing I can figure is that people read his stuff to read the new ridiculous shit he says.
Although, as an MSU fan, it's been amusing during these great years reading his mental gymnastics as he tries to explain why they're still one of the worst teams in the nature, the success is all smoke and mirrors, and if they actually played a good team they'd get their teeth kicked in. Except when they do and they win, it's a fluke.
I wasn't knocking Yeldon for that. His ball security was much improved this year. When he fumbled against LSU it happened when an LSU player grabbed and twisted his right leg, the same leg which was still injured against OSU. The LSU was just the first time I recalled him being injured this year.
Joel Stave will be a senior at Wisconsin next year. I'm not worried about that game unless they get a capable QB between now and then.
Right, I didn't hear as much about Yeldon's fumbles this year, but he has that reputation as being fumble and injury prone.
Yeah, Stave sucks and they've lost Gordon obviously. Looks like Corey Clement will be their #1 RB, and he almost hit 1000 yards this year while backing up Gordon.
Stave passed for 121 yards against Auburn. Auburn. I may eat my words, but if they don't have a QB who can throw for 225 yards and 2 tds, they're not beating us even if Hershel Walker is their RB.
Apparently tOSU tends to have pretty good backup QBs.

Every year its Wiscy is going to have a hard time replacing "X" running back and they somehow do it. It's just theyre thing, they always have an amazing RB.
True. I'm always wishing we could steal their offensive line though.
He's a troll whose job is to say and write things to upset people and garner more clicks for his articles. I think MSU and UM fans had gotten used to it and didn't care anymore, but what I don't get is why the guy has an AP vote. While Sharp has the right to rank teams however he pleases, he doesn't seem to take his ballot seriously and just uses it to further troll people. I don't think the guy believes that LSU and Auburn are better than Wisconsin - he just wants to stand out and create attention for himself. I guess I'm responsible for giving it to him.

I can honestly say I haven't read a Drew Sharp column since the 1990s.
I had to look up who Drew Sharp was. Am I the only one?

Today is the last day to declare for the draft, so we may be closer to an answer who OSU qb is next year
I'M ON PINS AND NEEDLES
You mean we'll be closer to seeing if Cardale Jones goes pro after the few games he played this year? If he does, he's dumber than everyone thinks he is after this school comment.

I'd say my "surliness" is at the same level it normally is.
I like to think of myself as a "loveable asshole," but yes!
Understandable you wouldn't know who he was if you didn't grow up in Michigan.
As was said, he's basically a professional troll who writes for the Detroit sports audience and every column basically boils down to explaining how [INSERT LOCAL MICHIGAN TEAM HERE] is terrible and will never improve, implies that you're an idiot for supporting them, or rationalizes how recent success means absolutely nothing and is a total fluke.
Hence, a recent column that says that Ohio State's National Championship simply means that OSU is special, the Big Ten is still easily the worst conference in college football, and MSU and UM have literally zero chance to ever catch up or even come close to the greatness of Urban Meyer, because he brings that SEC heritage.

He's been on ESPN sort of a lot; beyond that, there's no reason for you to know him, other than perhaps by way of his obtuse voting habits in the AP poll. You're not missing anything.
I think of myself the same way.
He sounds like some of the writers from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

OSU QB Cardale Jones will announce his decision at 2 pm from the Ginn Academy in Cleveland.
The fact hes announcing in Cleveland makes me think hes leaving for sure.

A tOSU hat on the left and an NFL hat on the right?
Yeah, if he leaves he leaves out on top.

No doubt. He's gone.
Best wishes, Cardale. Hope you don't get drafted by the Browns.
