Comments on: And We Have a Quarterback http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2009/06/and-we-have-a-quarterback.html You're Stepping into Manhood Right Now Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:41:26 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: El Caballo de Sangre http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2009/06/and-we-have-a-quarterback.html#comment-94448 El Caballo de Sangre Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:53:33 +0000 http://www.elevenwarriors.com/?p=3898#comment-94448 I actually put a diary up at MGoBlog about the Shavodrick Beaver decommit that touches on the nature of these things. It was surprisingly well-received, but that's probably because when I'm there I treat them with respect.

Still, pretty impressive keyboarding/spelling skillz, no? Well, I didn’t start until about 2:30 or so. Still, pretty impressive keyboarding/spelling skillz, no?

Ohio State Football 2. Ohio State Basketball 3. All sports that aren't 1, 2, the NBA, the NHL, or the WNBA 4. NBA 5. NHL 6. WNBA ...and there's a ginormous dropoff between 2 and 3. I mean, I want Mullens to do well, especially given his life's circumstances so far, but it's hard for me to care a lot about one-and-dones as "Buckeyes". That goes for folks like Oden and Conley, too. It's not just y'all's polls, either; Vico has one up at OHD right now (I think) that asks which of four guys WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED A DOWN OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL will have the best CAREER at Ohio State. There really is only one answer to that question: how the eff should I know? But like I said, it's the shitty season, college-sports-wise, and everybody's scrambling for good content, I suppose. I'll tell you what I could get into: a series of polls folded into a bracket that selects the 11W community's "favorite" Buckeye - for example, Cris Carter was indeed fantastic and brought Ohio State a lot of glory and acclaim, but put him up against Chris Jent and ask me who's my favorite and I'll vote for Jent early and often.
