Eleven Warriors

Moral high ground? Good one. They're just bitter that it took our worst season in 10 years, a freshman quarterback and interim coach for them to beat us at their own place. And if Braxton hadn't missed three wide open touchdowns (not dogging him, he played brilliantly) we would have won that game.

Also, we're not oversigned, from what I've read.

^^^Precisely^^^

Right now they're projected at 84 scholarships and with the NCAA sanctions they need to be down at 82.

- Ace

Is the current number 84 (including/excluding Berry)?

edit:  thanks J.Mo

I thought Meyer said in his press conference we were at 81, with Berry gone, dosen't that bring it down to 80?

It is a frankly dumb line by Ace, who should either know better or should be more careful with his words.

Brian agrees with Ace.  Another example:

Q: Brian, where is OHIO getting all these extra schlorships?

Brian @ MGoBlog: They are going to cut players. Period.

I guess we'll see...

I think it was expected before signing day, but just made public after, or during or what, but I know it was factored in to the 81 that Meyer stated

SonOfBuckeye:  I'd say the same thing to Brian.  I will say the same thing to Brian.  I think he was being edgy in a live chat.  But you are quite right to call it.  You'll get no argument from me.

Look, let's agree -- the essential point about Classical Oversigning is the "Exit Interview."  In which:

1. A player says that he was essentially "cut" to make room for some already-signed scholarship freshmen, or;
2. A player can't or won't say why he was leaving, or;
3. The coaches and the team cannot articulate a very good reason as to why the player is departing.

By all accounts, that is lacking for the OSU situation at present.  

And, let's be honest, here's what the turd Bielema really wants: he wants Ohio State to have been put into a bind, in which the university expects, say, 3-4 additional guys to transfer or be released for totally legit reasons but who might not have officially cleared "waivers" yet (so to speak), and thus the coaching staff cannot fill those positions on NLOID (given Bielema's whiny logic). So, Ohio State has to jettison a few late-declaring studs (like Dodson and Marcus) and either has to scramble for a few leftovers, or bank the schollies, going into the 2012 season with 79 on scholarship, instead of 82.

Yeah, Bielema has the B1G interests at heart, that's why he's bitching - sure.   

Moral high ground.......I almost spit out my beer when I read that gem.

I totally agree with the comment about M Man. Most of the time I can not stand the fans from up there. Respect and class goes both ways though and I have read some very disturbing posts by Buckeyes as well. M Man hats off to you.
