Some believed DePriest's zero hour visit to Columbus may have meant a last second change of heart, but DePreist stayed true to much of the recruiting buzz in deciding to take his talents head out of state and go south to play for Nick Saban & the Crimson Tide. Florida, LSU, and West Virginia were said to also be in the mix.
DePriest Rolls With Tide
As expected, coveted 5-star linebacker Trey DePriest of Springfield made his decision Friday evening to verbally commit to the University of Alabama. Ohio State was widely viewed in the process as his second choice.
Comments
Oh well, no surprise.
Sigh..although it's a hit, it's still a fantastic class. This did not make or break it.
who cares...film wasn't all that impressive
Would've like to have had him but not a huge miss. There are other talented LB's where there is mutual interest. Best of luck to him.
Its Friday. Im going to go get a beer.
Good luck at Bama!
Good luck, Trey! I hope Buckeye Nation joins me in wishing you the best. Would have been great to have you play for us, but you gotta do what you gotta do. As for the Bucks...we'll be okay.
Goodbye to another traitor...have fun in hickville!
Apparently he want's to spend some time with an agent. Oh wait, that doesn't happend at Alabama...
Best of luck to Trey. Hope we get to beat him and the Tide in the near future. Go Bucks!
You don't mean...the pimps???? *horror face*
The Rivals link you provided for Depriest says he's a 4-star, not a 5 star...though Scout has him at 5.
Anyway, it is a loss when you lose the state's best linebacker. Though considering Laurinaitis and Hawk were 3-stars, Ohio State obviously has no deficiency if you're looking to make Linebacker your college major.
I realized the error of my way, but I'll bet a Tressel nickel he's bumped up when everything's said and done.
Good luck to you Trey, and although you didn't select the Buckeyes, I think you handled the recruitment process with class. If Bama stays at the top, I think you'll be facing off against a former highschool teammate in the not too distant future.

We are still in the running for Price and Grant. Grant is a 5* and Price is a 3* but his stock is rising fast! I hope we get Grant!
Ugh. The "take his talents" meme can't disappear fast enough.
I hope this isn't the sign of problems ahead, because we're not used to seeing Tressel lose in-state guys he really wants.
Oh God. Total Freudian slip on my part. h8u LeBro
What film did you watch? His baptism? This guy is legit.
Sucks to lose him but wish him well with his life...
some people are wringing their hands because of depriest and hicks, but a) have we ever really had reason to be concerned about our LBs during the Tressel regime?, b) both of these kids had extenuating circumstances surrounding their recruitment, and c) the answer to a is no
DERP
I was just about to sound the falling sky klaxon, too
Not surprised in the least. The kid liked TTUN as a kid. Ohio State wasn't in his heart. So what. Adios.
Just as there are kids from Ohio on other teams around the country, I think he's going to regret turning down an OSU offer.
Ben Martin Part Deux
Well of course! Now that he's an SEC signee, he's automatically the best LB to ever play.
Tebow Tracker on ESPN.com? Why am I not surprised?
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/...
Roll Tide Roll! Welcome aboard young man. Scout 5 star and will probably be a rivals 5 star when they finalize their rankings.
Are you guys seriously in it for Grant? I heard he is a Gator lean...hope you guys get him rather than see him in gainesville....unless we land him of course...because we are in those sweepstakes as well.
Apparently you have never been to T-Town and seen the young ladies there?
Yeah those grapes are sour anyway!
I've been to T-Town some crackhead approached me and asked for money when I was pumping gas.
well, at least there wasn't a show about his decision. even though he hasn't made as big a name for himself as lequit around the country.
People are idiots, these kids have yet to play 1 down of their senior year. He may end up being great, he may not end up ever seeing the field, it happens you know. Price will be a fine alternative. You don't know how these kids will turn out until they actually get to college and play anyway.
I think some people, for some crazy reason, just don't like Jim Tressel and will criticize every decision he makes and every recruit they don't land.
I said the same thing the other day, you don't go to Michigan because they are horrible and will be for a few more years, the next best way to piss off Ohio State is to play for an SEC school. You'd like to get a guy with his potential, but you may get one in Price anyway, just because he hasn't been hyped before his senior year doesn't mean he won't be great.
Besides, there are plenty of kids on the Buckeye Roster from other states with great high school football, you lose a linebacker from Ohio, you get one from Pennsylvania or Florida, no big deal.
I want guys who want to be Buckeyes. That is all.
He must like like short khaki shorts, tucked in polo, penny loafers with hair parted to the side. If you have ever been to 'bama you know what I'm talking about. It's like going back to the 50s
It's a college campus douche, there are nice looking ladies on every college campus...they just have more teeth up north.
don't even try to compare the girls in the south to those nose gaurd look alikes running around the midwest. Corn fed....
How many gallons does your 1987 Buick hold anyway?
Its called recruiting poential...the Saban machine just keeps rolling along....
this is actually every SEC football game ever, i don't know how people stand it. give me a bunch of poorly shaven bed headed dudes dressed in whatever they passed out in the previous night over that pseudo-fascist crap
i wish depriest all the best, and despite him not picking my favorite school, i definitely give him props for foregoing "that stupid hat stuff" as he put it
Yes, Ohio is known for its sophisticated people. Maybe he just doesn't want to live in a dreary place for 365 days a year. Does the sun ever shine there?
Do you even know what a fascist is? Please try to stay awake in your poli sci class.
im no expert, but Ive heard NOTHING about him being a gator lean
Yeah that is why he picked Bama...Had nothing to do with the NC or maybe the fact that the best linebacker in college football just came out of there or the fact that they are loaded for the future as welll...it was just to piss off the buckeye nation...you people are so myopic....I'll give you second to look that word up.
I live in carolina... the girls are no better or worse looking than girls in ohio. People have sex and make babies. Some are good looking. Some are ugly. This doesn't chqange because of where you live in the country. To claim otherwise is dumb. Google imaqge search alabama wal mart and see what comes up and then talk about ohio girls.
http://recruiting.blogs.gators...
I don't even see you guys mentioned.
Trust me, Ohio is not known for their ladies...You guys are Pennsylvania West.
So you're bashing the South on fashion now? Jeez, the kid wanted to go to Bama, no big deal; no reason to get all catty about it, girlfriend.
"give me a bunch of poorly shaven bed headed dudes"
Uh, ok ... I think I see why he didn't want to be a buckeye ...
Unless of course you are referring to another Grant? The DB Grant? He is all Buckeye from what I have read.
We are talking about doran grant... and trust me "ya'll" ain't really known for anything except robert trent jones golf courses and being about 50 years behind the rest of the country... oh and boiled peanuts. Just sayin.
I agree....I hate that crap...kids picking the hats up...putting them down....He showed a lot of class at the press conference.
Ohio is not exactly the cultural center of the universe either my man...Trust me...I spent plenty of time in Pennsylvania and considering you guys are Pennsylvania West I know what it is like....Wouldn't live there if you paid me to....Cleveland is a beautiful city and well so is Cinncinati...and Akron is lovely as well....I just love the perpetual gray skies...
Oh and I hope they were paying you at least minimum wage at your job at the filling station....I couldn't sleep well if I knew someone was being exploited for unfair wages.
woah, good one...
well, i felt like my comment was pretty obviously tongue in cheek, but i guess i learned my lesson to never to joke about SEC fan fashion.
seriously though, every fanbase has a "uniform," OSU fans do the same thing with player jerseys. if i'm being COMPLETELY honest i think the way a lot of football fans in the south get dressed to the nines for football games is incredibly silly but c'est la vie
no it does not
uh, yeah. we are talking about the ohio kid. doran grant.
That's too bad ): Must be why you people are so cranky. Don't worry winter will be there soon enough.
at least, thats who i thought he meant. if we are talking curtis, yeah, big time long shot
My bad....I thought you guys were talking linebackers....Honest mistake....Doran Grant is pretty much in the bag for you guys....unless Lame Kiffy gets him out to La La Land for a weekend....then all bets are off.
oh, i'm cranky for a whole host of reasons
I'm just messing around...this blog is pretty cool. Gotta love a rabid fan base. It is why I love college football.
Blazers, we are after Curtis Grant but I think he winds up in Gainesville. Doran Grant is on our list but everyone here expects him to sign with Ohio State and we are not even really seriously in it...although we would love to have his 4.3 speed...
Only grey in spring and winter. Given, winter lasts about 5 months. Anyway, we're not hurting at LB. The kid probably didn't wan't to sit a year or two. Shit happens. We're still going to be really good. We manufacture LB's from the aether that is tOSU badassery. Not worried a'tall. The dude was a Meatchicken fan growing up *vomit*, color me not surprised he strayed...Best of luck Trey. At least he had the sense not go to the D-Rod regime o' fail.
Uh...he "really wanted" DePriest...but no worries...all other targets are nailed down and Bucks finish with a top 5 class and maybe top 3. Nobody is going to catch Texas this year but Bucks may even finish with a top 2 class. Still have some big targets left in state. How many 5 stars are left in Ohio?
Let me correct you about the Bama linebackers currently....You may want to go back and check out our last 3 recruiting classes before making insane comments that he will have an easier time seeing the field at Alabama. I will match our stable with yours any day.
7 playboy playmates from Alabama. 26 from Ohio. Hmmmm
and rolling....and rolling.... It's called oversigning.
Woooo look at Alabama man gettin' all uppity. Usin' big words and cornfusin' us simple Midwest folk.

Hilarious, I was pumping gas in my own car so I could get the F out of the hell hole as fast as I could
quick call the wahhhhhhhmbulance!
because you are an idiot and don't know how to operate your PC.
the fact that you researched that tells me all I need to know.....
This article tells us all about the hotties in the south.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
you're a brave man....I make it a point to gas up before I hit the Ohio border and don't stop till I'm out!
the fact that you source the Huffington Post tells me all I need to know about you...liberal weenie!
Tressel has no problem with recruiting potential, when this class is all said and done it'll be 3 top 5 classes in 4 years. Last year was an off year, but every school has one now and then, plus we knew it would be a small class and those recruiting sites give higher rankings to schools with bigger classes. So while last year's class was small in number and not highly ranked, it's till going to be a potent class.
I think she got it right!
http://bit.ly/9dyquE
uh, who said he didn't really want him? Obviously he was wanted. It's just not the end of the world because he chose to go to Bama.
Does anyone have the picture of our favorite SEC fan????? I've never seen one of those at an Ohio State game that's all I can say.
I said you would have a great class this year...Look at Bamas last 3 classes and what this year is shaping up to look like....Why don't you big ten fans stop whining about "over signing" We follow the NCAA rules not the Big Ten rules.
Read the post I was replying to numb nuts...
oops my bad, misread the post...I humbly stand corrected.
Yes just because a guy lands on the scene at a school with a high recruiting rating he'll end up being awesome it always works that way. Bottom line is, he had no chance of seeing the field at Ohio State right away. He would've been a redshirt, and may not have played the year after that redshirt. That's if he pans out, doesn't blow a knee, get busted with by the cops, and all the other things that can happen between now and the time he actually will hit campus.
We usually comb our hair and brush our teeth before heading out.
We don't bring up politics here, but I was just giving you facts about what states have the largest people. You can conclude what you want from that.
Dude, stop trying to act like you're some kind of guru....ok Captain Obvious....He is going to have to wait and play at Bama as well...Good lord...We just won the National Championship and have won 24 straight regular season games in a row...we have a few decent players...not Buckeye caliber of course..
I'll take her word instead....I'm sure that the Huffington Post has no liberal bias for the stats they compiled either..considering AL is a "red state"....
I'm not whining at all, it's a fact the recruiting sites give credit for size of class. Look at the class ratings sometime. The schools that have the highest star average of the class isn't always the school with the top recruiting class.
No one said that the SEC schools were breaking any rules, we just don't think the oversigning method is a good way to do business. At least not for the guys who lose their scholarship or get discarded along the way.
The best players are the ones with their heart in it. According to the stories, his 'best' friend is the Bucks' QB of the future. He lives 40 minutes away from the Shoe. Most of his HS team-mates; most of the football fans in his hometown; and, I bet, most of the football fans he has ever known -- are OSU fans. Alabama is the best place for him to make his mark? Harvard or Hawaii would be understandable choices: and even Michigan or USC would have shown some rivalry Chutzpa -- but Alabama? Wishing him the best, hope he dominates LSU and the Gators. And, I hope he gets run over by Roderick Smith in a bowl or two.
You jump in on a thread where a guy is whining about "over signing" and claim there is no whining...The rules are put into place by the NCAA and Saban follows them...lazy coaches don't like him because he makes them work...He locks down his in state talent and makes the other programs work their asses off to protect their turf...that's the name of the game....Seriously...I've been to Ohio State and competed against one of their sports programs....I've seen your facilities....That place recruits itself....I've been trolling on here but the reality is that I can see why someone would want to go there....Bama is a pretty cool place too and the south east is a great place to live....I have lived all over this country.
I'm just saying he won't be missed. Ask Sabino and Bell how much room there is for stud LB's at Ohio State. Guys who would've played early and often for other schools. They came in with more fanfare than Depriest has gotten. I'm not acting like a guru, all you do is talk about recruiting classes and how many stars a guy has.
Obviously you want to have great recruiting, but just because some dude at Rivals says a guy is going to be a stud and this guy isn't, doesn't mean shit to me. I want to see what they do on the field in colllege. Last year for instance we miss out on Sharrif Floyd but land Hankins. Hankins is a 3 star and Floyd is a 5. The only difference is Floyd is a little more polished, when in the end, they are probably going to be about the same kind of player.
I'll take a coach that can land a great recruiting class with Pryor and Posey, but also has the eye to spot the talents that were AJ Hawk and James Laurinitis. It's not all about landing 5 star after 5 star. It's landing some of those pieces and being able to spot those other guys.
more smear campaigning? this is a popular accusation amongst the haters along with the weather is a nightmare, ohio people can't drive, and other ridiculous statements. i have visited many states in this country (including alabama's gulf shores...which i enjoyed back in '96) and i can tell you that not a single one should boast about the women or the driving. as for the weather in columbus, it is seasonal (normal if you ask me)...and i don't want to hear how you know this to be different because you lived in pennsylvania and you only saw gray skies......which is probably absurd as i have been to pennsylvania in the summer time and it was gorgeous. if you want to stay biased by whatever it is that people tell you about the midwest or want to believe that ohio (or possibly just midwest in general) is this dark hell hole for cranky people then, well, you fit the profile for the rest of the ignoramuses that think the same way (in which case, damn, i don't know if that type of conditioning can be reversed).
You are still playing Captain Obvious...you mean like recognizing a 3 star like Marcel Dareus....a 3 star like Javier Arenas....We are talking about recruiting....Hightower was a 4 star but Saban said he thought he was the best lb recruit in the country...Saban doesn't pay attention to Rivals and I bet Tressel doesn't either...You act like kids waiting around is something unique to Ohio State...All top tier programs have talented kids waiting to get on the field....that is not exclusive to the bucks....I can reel off names of 4 and 5 star players that haven't seen the field at Bama as well.....Tyler Love was one of the "crown jewels of the 2008 class...5 star OT and has not played a snap yet and is battling this year and it doesn't look like he will make into the rotation...but next year he will be a 4th year junior and will probably play....btw I disagree about Floydd...word in Gainesville is that he is a factor down there right away...granted that is just little ole UF and not the mighty buckeyes.
sorry for being a complete loser and trolling
You missed the part about how Ohio people don't tip worth a shit in restaurants. Remember....20% if the service is good!
Obviously you didn't read what I said, I said that I wasn't whining, and again, if you looked at my post you would see where I said no one has said Saban was breaking any NCAA rules. My point was that the recruiting sites give credit for having larger classes. This is not news.
So basically Saban goes and signs recruits other people want so they can't have them, then he gets rid of the ones from the year before he has no use fo anymore, or he knows they may not qualify, but by the time all that has been sorted out his rivals have moved on and won't get the guy he didn't want them to have. That's basically how I understand oversigning. It's not breaking rules, I just wouldn't want my kid to be someones pawn like that.
No problem bamamatt, you are a breath of fresh air on this otherwise boring forum. Honestly, I get tired of the constant buckeye worship and finally get to hear some insight from someone who knows a little about football. Come back anytime and Roll Tide Roll!
Don't worry we won't be recruitiing your kid...there...you're dilemma is solved!
I've never assumed other people don't have good players, the whole argument that we started 3 days ago was that Ohio State doesn't need the kid. So maybe some of us think the world is going to end, but most everyone else isn't too bothered by it. Losing out on Braxton Miller would be a big deal. Missing Doran Grant would suck pretty bad. Those were must have guys, Depriest wasn't.
I also never said Floyd wasn't going to be a good player or great for that matter, I was saying that Hankins is going to be a really good player. Again, with depth at the D-Line it's not likely Floyd would've seen the field too often this year. It's not that Floyd isn't good because he went to FLorida, it's that Ohio State got a guy who probably will end up being not much different than Floyd. You can agree with that or not, I really don't care either way
thanks Brian, I knew you would come around. Shoot me your address and I will mail you a Bear Bryant photo!
That wasn't me, I suspect it may have been you since we are the only 2 posting lol. It's 1am, I'm bored and enjoy the banter.
The photo would be appreciated, I suspect by the time it gets here i'll be out of toilet paper
Amazing how none of these kids coulf see the field at the Big Bad Buckeyes and yet they can get in the rotation at Bama and UF...man you are ridiculous. Man, you guys are going to tear through everyone like tissue paper this year....hope we lose a couple so we don't have to run into that bunch!
Could you shoot one over of Woody so I can recipricate!LOL. I got to go to bed soon but this has been fun. I have been invited to go to a buckeye game this year so I am going to have to go incognito.
well i wouldn't tip very well either if the restaurant i was eating in didn't have a ban on smoking. that second hand smoke never goes well with my food.
Again that's not what I said, but look at the D-line for Ohio State. For Floyd to have seen the field this year for meaningful minutes would mean that he is an NFL ready D-lineman out of highschool. Because he would have to be better than NFL type talent that's already in place. The D-line is loaded here this year. The linebacking corps is loaded. I dont think I'm off base by saying a Freshman D-lineman or Linebacker would have to be a really special talent to see the field this year.
You should go they are fun. I live about 2 hours from Columbus in Kentucky, I try to make it up to at least a game every year. This year I'm going to go out to Iowa for the game too.
Yeah, definitely want to check out that scene. Place looks nuts on television...going to Tuscaloosa for the Penn State game so I can't go to the Miami game which I was invited...going to look at the schedule and see...my friends are from Ohio and are OSU alumni and go pretty often.
I realize that brian. The Bucks defense up front will be stout but don't underestimate what the gators have up front as well....I will be very interested to see how they play early this year...October 2 is a huge game for us and even though we beat them last year they have owned us recently other than that. Hoping that Bama can take the next step and by that I mean consistently in the top 5 and competing for a NC. That would make me happy. As you can see I'm a huge Tide fan and it was very frustrating to be in the wilderness for so long. Fun to be relevant again. I'll give you the last word but in all sincerity good luck to the bucks this year...I like the program despite my antics to stir things up. I like the site though and will check back from time to time.
You should go to the Penn State game lol. That'll probably be the best home game other than Miami, and Michigan, that's always a huge game no matter how bad or good either team is.
Again, I just don't see where Floyd would have seen any playing time this year. At Florida I don't know what their situation is, but I know at Ohio State, there's no way any of the D-Line sits for a Freshman this year. Maybe he sees some mop up time, but would never see impactful minutes.
Depriest is a high profile Mike Marrow type of player that will need a few seasons to break into anyones line up.
Missing the frame and explosiveness to make an immediate impact at OSU, Alabama, or top tier BCS schools.
tough choice... nfl agents vs. buckeye family
hahah jk i wish the kid well... wish he was gonna be a buckeye but to each his own. i hope he made the right decision.
The kid never does "jump" off the film. Solid, always arond the ball,(from what was highlighted), but not someone who just jumps off the film.
Jordan Hicks, Part Duex!! (Red-shirt was imminent, & he knew it, especially if the rumors about either Sweat or Sabino being redshirted are true.)
See ya in the NC game, IF, your boys can navigate that schedule, & no recruiting violations come down.
NCAA is sniffing around, & if it looks like a Duck, quacks like a duck......., you know the rest, even in Alabama, right?
There is a reason 5 Star kids go to schools, even when they know they will sit the bench, & it ain't for the coachin'!!! Saban, Meyers, college footballs version of John Calipari. (It'll all come to the light, you & Bear Bryant will be sick!) That's why Nikki was tryin' to point the attention back at the NFL & agents. Just a matter of time once the NCAA starts digging. Not if, rather when. Enjoy, for now.
LMAO!!!!!!

That bamamatt must have a bit too much time on his hands on that busy,bustling city of ttown. Hmm
Nothing like the slightly better comeback 40 minutes later.
I don't care if we do not sign any lb's in 2011 class, just like rb situation. 2012 class is loaded at both positions 1 lb already verballed and 3 top rb's have osu as #1. Getting a verbal from Depriest would have been great as he would be a fine addition to any team. I wish him the best and hope he stays healthy and gets a quality education. We can not land all of the top in state talent because there is so much, coach saban knows this, why do you think he recruits ohio so hard.
These kids want two things:
1.) They want to go where they have a chance to play as soon as possible. Ohio State is loaded with LBs.
2.) They want to go where they know they have a chance at winning championships. I think DePriest's choice was more an issue of picking Saban, than it was Alabama.
One can see this phenomenon everywhere. Even in high school. A team wins a championship, and EVERYONE wants to play there.
And what is the reason for Bama fans coming onto an Ohio State website? Are you guys a bunch of pricks or what?
The fact that this kid was a Michigan fan growing up tells me a lot. If Virginia Tech had won the MNC last year and Saban was there, that's probably where DePriest would be, not Bama.
Im moving on. Tired of the "our weather, culture, politics, girls, etc," is better than Ohio,
I hope Penn State handles business. "Go BigTen"! LOL!. See what they've done to me? Turned me into a hater.
They are just "busting chops" as well as creating more than one screen name in order to support the other.
I guess he liked the wal-mart down there better. I don't think this one is over til signing day.
douche of the year? hands down. douche. of. the.year.
Well, they did have the BCS trophy on display there. THAT had to have swayed him just a bit.
We'll be fine.....The Dareus situation is not going to even result in a suspension because the kid did nothing wrong.....the text book issue came before Saban....and I got news for you kids at every university on an athetic scholarship do that for spending money....Saban runs a clean program and he self reports just like he is supposed to...As for the NC game...I guess we both have to navigate our schedule to get there...don't we?....it just dawned on me why you guys hate Saban....Didn't he wreck one your dream seasons....1997 or was it 1998?...lol...get over it...move on...let it go....serenity now...
Hello fellow southwest Floridian.
We showed him the bling...
Pam, you're really starting to grow on me....I know...I know...but you'll come around.
I love how you guys have this myopic view that a kid goes down to Bama where they have the best linebacking unit in the SEC without one single senior on it and the explanation is "he can't see the field here but there he will" Give me a break...Stop living in the past. He will wait his turn at Bama unless he is a freak...and only time will tell if that is the case. We also signed 5 star Brent Calloway at linebacker in this class as well.
Do you people even know how to read? Read up on the Dareus situation and you wil find it was typical overblown media coverage that disappears as soon as the story dries up....he did nothing wrong...the story is over.
Don't know who those other people are....give me a little credit...if I was using multiple screen names I could be much more creative with the conversations.
Just "busting chops" matt. Chill
Actually yes I was talking about Curtis Grant. I know we offered, and he is thinking of visiting. We will see.
Sorry Pam...lost it for a second...the dareus situation has me on pins and needles...Sorry if I have offended anyone...there is a lot of pressure being a fan of the returning champs and it makes me say things I wouldn't ordinarily say...You people are actually a lot of fun and very good natured....I'm actually attending a game up there is this year...but I will have to go incognito at this point..lol...how is the tailgate up there...my friends say it it great...i've been to Penn State and that is the only big ten stadium I have seen...they are very friendly there.
You know how slow we are down here..
Random name of a 3* kid who redshirted last year and was a more formidable running back than linebacker in high school.
I know Mike and his family ... great people but my personal opinion is that it was Vince Marrows relationship with Saban that landed Mike at 'Bama than anything else. Don't get me wrong, kid is talented and all but me thinks he doesn't see the field there.
Well see...I was right then...I know the gators have him in your sights...I hope you guys get him then...I don't want to see him go to UF. We are recruiting him as well...but he is a long shot at best.
If you guys have Tebow fatigue, you can imagine how I feel.
Penn State won't beat us...they don't have the talent.
Tooth, not teeth.
Why would we trust you? You lived in Pennsylvania, not Ohio. The rest of us were born in Ohio or spent significant portions of our lives there. You're in no place to lecture us on Ohio's culture. You insult it in one breath, then complement it in the next. You're a fucktard. Go away.
Yes ,Ohio is known as an upscale state.LOL. Funny when you midwestern folk try to act like your from Manhatten.LOL. There is a reason why Lebron left!
I prefer Stanley nickels :/
I'm so much dumber for having read all those comments. :[
Best of luck to the kid, hopefully we can do some winning against Bama in the future and he'll be like "maybe I did the wrong thing".
But hey, let's all wish ill-will on him and claim he just wants money.
ok tough guy...bet your one of those idiots that stares at the out of towner and says, "you aint from around here are ya?" PA and Ohio are basically the same....I went to school with enough of you hillrats from both places.....
Ohio State vs. Miami - Pass Interference? Replay + Analysis:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
(a.k.a. ABC's - inevitable - pre-game tease)
who gives a rats ass...you signed no one moron,,,,until Feb,
I have to say, I've NEVER Googled "alabama wal mart girls." I'm afraid to.
Personally, I think this is too much jibber-jabber over one player. If this kid had decided on Ohio State instead of Bama, the conversation would be reversed, EXCEPT, I don't think there would be any(I hope) Buckeye fans in on some Alabama website, talking trash.
It's called, "act like you've been there before." Not sure exactly who coined that phrase the first time. Lou Holtz? Help me out Buckeyes.
Moron? I would venture to say that I do significantly better on standardized testing than let's say...you...depriest is grauduating early and enrolling in January...I'd say that one is pretty much locked down...As for Calloway he is from Alabama and has been a tide fan all his life. I keep thinking I am done with you people and then another one comes along and sucks me back in!
I guess I should say "a verbal commit" instead of "signed" since you want to be technical.
You call Bamamatt's comments "insight?" Sounds like the same 'ol, same 'ol Buckeye bashing to me. Whether it comes from Florida fans, LSU fans or Bama fans.
Doesn't the Turd have it's own blogs? BTW, see my reply to you in the newest post, re: Tatum
"I get tired of the constant buckeye worship and finally get to hear some insight from someone who knows a little about football"------>>Brian
My God! What a suck ass. I bet you do that to your boss too, Brian.
" I get tired of the constant buckeye worship..."---> Brian
Isn't this a Buckeye website, dickhead? We freaking SUPPOSED to worship the Buckeyes!
Maybe you'd enjoy the Crimson Tide website, since you "Roll Tide Roll" so well?
My brother was stationed in Huntsville, Alabama back in the 1980's at Redstone Arsenal as a US Marine. He said "I get so tired of hearing that song "Sweet Home Alabama," that I decided to become an Auburn fan. Horribly annoying.
Good one.
Our Brian didn't post that crap. Fake Brian did

Use of the word "myopic" in more than one post, 10 yard penalty repeat 3rd down.
For someone who brags about his possible performance on standardized testing, you sure struggled with spelling "grauduating" [sic] and capitalizing "depriest" [sic] and "tide" [sic].
Maybe your hero is e e cummings?
First 3-day troll?
ever hear of a typo in haste?
Man that was a real screwing..
look I have to be honest...Bama is superior right now...otherwise we are just kidding ourselves!
The IP address attached to this comment is bamamatt's.
This is also bamamatt, calling himself a breath of fresh air. That's kinda creepy.
That. Is. Pathetic.
It's "you're" not "your." Back to Spelling 101...do they offer that at 'Bama?
Uh Pam, it Myopic is the word...then use myopic.
I know the difference genius
Wow...a computer guy! man I bet you're the guy on here that does all the test taking!
No, he is the guy that knows what IP we use regardless of what name we use. Busted
I guess Bama fans are just as bad as the gator's. Western pa... Dude get real Alabama is worse than any bfe town in Ohio. Why are you even on this site?
Nah, even a computer illiterate could do what I did. You'd pass with flying colors.
Oh my. So this dude "bamanutt/Brian" is your typical website nutjob, Sam.
Who left the cage door open?
Thanks pam. Lou Holtz used that phrase though.
As far as "Brian/bamanutt," did anybody ever see the movie "Me, myself, and Irene" with Jim Carrey?
If they ever did a remake of that movie, Brian/bamanutt could play Charlie Bailygates/Hank.
Dareus situation as yet to be determined. 2nd, if your squad is so "good", & "clean", why always try to justify it? Control issues? If man is dog's best friend, your dog has a serious problem.
But let's talk football. 'Bama is just getting back to a National conversation recently, & you act like you've been ruling the NCAA forever. Navigating both our schedules, that's where we differ. We have TOTAL DOMINANCE over our conference, where you are not so certain, are ya? C'mon, you can teel me, I won't throw it up in your face later, I promise.
But that recruiting thing that bugs ya so much. Once it starts smoking', it generally bursts into flames a little later. Just the facts of investigations. I hope you don't get it, because it'll be the kids who come later who suffer, not the one's who did it. Ah-La Reggie Bush/USC.
there is no recruiting problems...you are manufacturing that....dareus is not a "recruit..he is already on the team...he has already produced all the documentation for the trip as far as who paid for it..he paid for himself....He went to a party and when he saw what was going on he left...You are correct that we can't claim dominance over our conference...because let's face it...the SEC is a better conference from top to bottom. BCS Bowl record...SEC is 14-5 and the Big Ten is 10-11. You are correct...we were not relevant as often during the last decade as we had been used to on the past...let's say the 70s,80s and 90s and long before....we have an eqivilant tradition to OSU...I never said you guys weren't any good...I just take exception to the clowns on here that say Depriest went to Bama because he knew "he wouldn't see the field" at Ohio State" or that he has a better chance to play...or whatever...considering Bama has the preseason number one ranking in the SEC at the LB position and the unit is very young with very talented players waiting behind them...that's all.
Hee hee...nice...anyway...nice blog...you guys write some interesting articles.
Now Chise...don't twist my words on this either...I never said that the Bucks and others couldn't hang in the SEC...they could...but they wouldn't be owning it either...I think their record against that conference pretty much supports my argument.
No, this guy "Brian" is a good guy who posts on here regularly. Don't disparage him. Someone posted something late at night with my screen name and I thought it was him so I posted using his name in response...He is one of yours...I thought what I was doing was obvious...but apparently not so much.
ooohhh goodness, i feel like it might be time for a good ol fashioned IP ban
Go ahead and do that.lol. If that is what you want to do...
Do horses know how IP addresses work -
Regarding bamamatt, this is "Southern Impudence." We've seen this before.
