Seems like both sides of the rivalry don't have much ammo to throw at each other w/ the arrests of BWC and Stoney/Mewtwo... kids bein kids, it's stupid of all of them to put themselves in that position but not enough for me to say someone is a bad person.

Isn't that cute, you made a nice joke from my name...

But in all honestly, they get paid to recruit. They have to think they have a fighting chance with every recruit unless they completely shut the door like several of your recruits did (Dymonte Thomas, Kalis, even Shane Morris was called and didn't except). Smith never shut the door and that's why people thought we had a chance. I can't tell you whether or not the staff expected Smith to come to OSU or not, but it was clear that he favored Notre Dame. He wore Notre Dame stuff everywhere he went for the past year, including his basketball games, football games, camps, etc. And I said, everyone on "Bucknuts" knew he was going to Notre Dame. I won't lie and say we didn't want Smith to come to OSU, but your use of the word "expect" makes it seem like it was an OSU or die option.

Hindsight is always 20-20, oh brave one. Once the facts are out, it's easy to say you knew it all along.

When the brother of one of your current players, a guy you recruited hard, disses you for another program, it speaks volumes. Dinner table conversation around the Smith household couldn't have been very OSU-friendly. I wouldn't blame Meyer for this. It's a Luke Fickell snafu, the way that dummy handled Rod's Buckeye career.

Good thing Luke wasn't in charge of developing Beanie Wells, who fumbled a time or two when he first got playing time. Ruining a youngster's confidence by punishing him for early mistakes is ridiculous, amateurish coaching. It's player development in reverse -- taking a potential star and making him worse, not better. I just wish Fickell had got a long term deal coaching the Buckeyes. They'd lose 7 games every year.

Fickell will be somewhere in the MAC next year, if he's lucky. And LBs like Jaylon Smith, Alex Anzalone and Lewis Neal will all be playing elsewhere.

I don't get this. First, he's probably guilty. It's relatively minor, so cut a deal for community service and move on. You will be in the NFL in 12 months. Second, even if he's innocent, this will take several months and he will probably miss the first part of the 2012 season. Even if he wins at trial, it will be a "win the battle, lose the war" situation.
