Eleven Warriors

"They were unmotivated guys," Meyer said. "Obviously, they weren't disciplined.

Thanks Walrus.

sorry, thought this was the mark may thread...

This is really something that should get us excited as fans. Look what this unit-one that isn't very deep and wasn't expected to be very good-has accomplished with the right training and support system. Imagine what the O line will look like when its the players Meyer wants working in the Mick\Wariner regime. We are primed to witness some real lean, aggressive, mean, nasty O Line play for years to come. If they can work this line into a serviceable, sometimes dominant unit, the sky is the limit for what OSU will be once Meyer gets all the pieces he deems fit.

It's telling when a guy like Carpenter says that nutrition and effort in the weight room during the Tressel tenure was something not valued as much as Meyer does.  Maybe those losses in the title games had more to do with our players being fat and out of shape than anything else. Can't wait to see how both lines look after a 2nd off season of Mariotti's workouts. 

People kind of rolled their eyes when it was mentioned that the new strength coach was making these guys work out harder than every before.  That's what they always say, was a common response.  It looks like it was the real deal.

What I don't get, though, is how  hard could it be for every team to have someone in place that can put a great nutrition program and lifting program in place.  It's not that hard.  Gyms all over the place are loaded with talented folks who could implement stuff like this.  I just don't get how someone can have access to a team and facilities like Ohio State and have players who are fat and out of shape.

Good read. You would think its common sense for a big time college athlete to eat clean wholesome healthy foods instead of fast food or whatever they tend to live off of..don't think you need someone to tell you that. Bagels, fruit and protein shakes, inventive!
