But that's my point. The piece wasn't published under the actual name of one of the Bucknuts staff. It was published under the pseudonym Mr. Bucknuts. That is an editorial device used to signify that it is in some way different than a traditional, objective piece of journalism. And there is a reason they didn't pick the name Mr. Rolltide or Mr. Sparty. Mr. Bucknuts is used to signify an editorial slant in favor of OSU and that's exactly what we find in the piece. It was never intended to be objective.

Would you expect anything less? If we are just operating under the premise that the players win football games, then "The Game" is trending towards an evenly matched series, if we are only going off of recruiting. Our two respective programs will field comparible talent for the forseeable future. That's a tough pill to swallow for a lot of buckeyes who spent their adult life under Tressel ball. A lot of them can't even remember Michigan as a viable threat year to year. It's why the new buckeye is so damn cocky. So they are clinging to Meyer bandwagon because being realistic would mean accepting that they're in a dog fight for the next ten years. No more grandpa Carr or Rod and the gang.

Exactly. All objective observers (OSU fans included) realize the balance has shifted in recruiting. OSU dominated the Midwest for the past decade, but that era is over and the new higher level of recruiting at UM is making many OSU fans nervous. The hype surrounding Urban is great, but unless it translates to the recruiting trail it is of little benefit to OSU. And despite Urban's rockstar status, Hoke & Co. are recruiting as well or better. That has to be a bit confusing and unnerving to our friends in Columbus.

I have to say that was one of the more comical things I've read regarding recruiting in a while.

You know the whole thing is going to be pure gold when it starts off with "Shane Morris versus JT Barrett: Their top overall recruit versus our top quarterback. Since we have Braxton for three more years and they don’t; since we are going to feature our back-to-the-future spread and they are reverting to the back-to-the-past drop-back QB (think John Navarre), we really have an advantage here, particularly with Jalin Marshall as a throw-in (although not likely to play the position). Advantage? Even (fair and balanced, man…) "

That guy can't honestly believe what he wrote, right?....right?

I dont mean this to be offensive to our dear writer..but that piece should be thrown in the trash because its pure garbage..Dude wrote the whole piece while in the spin cycle..All credibility is Oscar Mike for that "writer"..and i cant give reasons why because i dont have enough time

As I've said multiple times, people are completely free to express their opinions and they can say whatever they want about the content of an article. It just serves no purpose, and can only lead this site down the wrong road, when people attack the person writing it.

As much as it pains me to say this I agree with the buckeye...there were no posts swearing, threatening life, attacking families or any sort of personal attacks towards the author (unless posts were deleted before I read them)....the posts that arr shown are quite civil. I won't turn this into a political discussion on what is wrong with our country and culture, but I must say Todd that I whole heartidly disagree with your warning. The Bucknuts writer can write whatever he would like and as paying members we should be able to exprrss our view points as we feel necessary as long as it is family friendly and non threatening. #Go Blue

I'm not trying to stir the pot Todd, but the writer did not cite many facts, analyses, etc. so his article has absolutely no credibility in my eyes. I understand that it was an opinion piece, but he did not back up his opinions with any facts or analysis. His arguments are weak at best. To me, he warranted any personal attacks on himself by writing such an unsubstantiated article. I haven't offered any personal attacks against him, but I now feel dumber for having read that article. That is time I will never get back.

It seems you guys haven't been keeping up with camp performances. Color me surprised.
