Eleven Warriors

Did anyone go farther in the time schedule to see if it will be played at a later time tonight, or some type of encore performance? I am not gonna be home until late because i gotta pick up my GF from her PA rotations and I do not get out of work until 6. I NEED TO SEE THIS!!!!

Edit: I saw that they are going to replay the episode at 10 p.m. tonight. PERFECT!!!!!!

YES, YES... DVR is set...

Pretty cool to see Adolphus and Noah in the background when Meyer was talking.  You could tell they both had visions of QB sacks, TFL's, blocked passes and owned O-Linemen dancing in their heads.  

@Derek: As DUBJAY mentioned above... it will re-air again tonight at 10pm on ESPNU. Also if you scroll 24/48/72 hrs ahead, etc; on your tv guide you will notice that they're showing repeats of the event all month long.

Good Luck.

I forgot to record it this morning before I went to work, and because I live in Central Time I am going to be at work... but I am able to record stuff on my DVR remotely thanks to this amazing AT&T Uverse ap for your phone.Thanks Uverse, U-lifesaver you!!! =D

Wow, PierogyJim, great plug for Uverse....... very subtle, haha

Doc, I'm assuming 4 different shows.  I think the camera crew was there for a few days.

Thanks Nappy, I hope so.  I've got the dvr set and reay to go.  Sept1 can't get here soon enough.

Here's the link:

No blue shirts!

^^ Heh." Get that man a white Ohio State shirt."

Was pretty cool, it's definitely night and day intensity wise comparing Meyer and Tressels coaching style. Love all the assistant coaches as well, they all are no non sense!

looks like it will re air tonight at 10 on espnu

It was good. Put together & shot very well. Got me hyped - I'll be watching all week for sure.

I'm so happy that someone confirmed that it will be on again tonight. Forgot to DVR it and I had to work. Sounds like it's intense. I'm stoked. 

well..and of course...the bearded wonder, Simon...

Can't wait to see these guys unleashed on the B1G

Guiton did look good, and was surprisingly featured as much or more than Braxton. I think it might be partially because he seems to have a bit more extroverted personality than Brax, which makes for better footage, but he has been getting high praise from the coaches as well. It's nice to know that we aren't totally done for if Braxton gets hurt.

Also Urban said he has packages where Braxton and Guiton will both be on the field at the same time. I am really interested in seeing that.

I also hope that they are limiting what they show with Braxton in all honesty.

Brown

Dude had hair i believe..? lol

edit: now as i actually think about it i think he had a helmet on

Easy way to tell: Red jerseys are offense, white are defense, black are quarterbacks, as far as I have seen.

I'm hoping this series makes some recruits want to jump in board. This is really good national exposure that you wont see on gamedays. Maybe this will get us our 2014 start.

Do you honestly think it was Shazier? Haha it was for sure Brown. Who wouldn't want to coach Shazier?

heres to hoping some generous Buckeye fan puts the episodes online

thank you shaun!!! i went to turn on espnU in my hotel last night and all that showed was half of a green screen and the other half black..now i can catch up on what i missed!

You da man Shaun!!!

Strange. A coach working with QBs on footwork and the nuances of the position? Is that allowed?

Shaun, you are a legend, really appreciate it.

i was losing it when Marotti was talking about the juice!  gotta have that juice! 

chris carter and Braxton...are jacked

LOL, do you know what "jacked" even means?

Vernon Gholston, Thad Gibson, John Simon. Those are guys that are jacked.

@Shaun OSU: Thanks so much for uploading these to You Tube...can't get ESPNU on our antique cable system.

Does anyone know who Urbz yelled at to look at him at the end of practice?  I replayed about 10 times, first I thought he said 'trainer', then I couldn't really make it out.

Herman seems like an interesting guy, he got the most airtime.  Really looking forward to a VraBRO episode. 

MAJOR PROPS TO SHAUN - TY TY TY

SHAUN!  YES!  Thanks alot man!

New episode each day for those asking.  Tuesday-Friday airing at 5pm and then replayed at 10pm each night.  The 5th episode is apparently next Wednesday at 10pm. 

I set my DVR to record the series, but for some reason I only have the 1st episode recorded.  I watched it already, and only one word can describe it - INTENSE!  I love the intensity that Meyer and (to an even larger extent) Mickey Marotti have brought to the program.  "Intensity" was everywhere in the 1st episode.  Meyer preached about how he has an infallible plan, and how it's imperative that the players commit to it.  He also spoke about +2 -- i.e., no matter that the coaches say, what drills they're doing, he wants his players to give him +2.  What that means is, if they're asked to run 10 yards, he wants them running 12, etc.  Marotti spoke about "juice".  I think he was referring to a little bit of "swag" and having the "juice" to finish thru the 4th Quarter.  I'm thrilled to have these guys.  I think it was CB Bradley Roby during the 1st episode that captured it the best, saying something like, 'I was estatic when I found out Meyer was going to be our coach.  The name that he brings, the rich tradition, the history of success & people he brings, etc."

The two parts that I found most interesting were:

There was a short clip where Meyer pulled over #10.  I couldn't tell if it was Corey Brown or Ryan Shazier.  Basically, Meyer said something along the lines of... you've been showing up late (or not on time), and you're not really doing anything that makes me want to coach you.  Make me want to coach you. [Basically trying to get the kid to step up & be a leader.  I think Meyer was thinking he might have been dogging it a bit and really wanted to lean on this kid for a leader for the team].
Meyer saw some guy at their camp [might have been a media guy] and he was wearing a blue shirt.  Meyer [kinda] went off and was like "GET THIS GUY A WHITE BUCKEYE SHIRT! I [don't like / hate] that [color / blue]"  Something like that.  It was hilarious.

@crazy nut

You are right in that they don't replay it. You have to capture it live at either 5 or 10. They show what is on EspnU live, but don't offer replays.

If you have Winstream for your internet provider, ESPNU is free.

Episode 3 was great! Got to see a little more actual practicing especially the offense. Things that stick out:

Devin Smith makes the series, he's a funny dude and brings some entertainment to the show

Boren straight trucked a dude during that drill!

Evan Specer is te next Tiger Woods apparently

fickell is a beast of a LB coach, love his intensity!

Chris Carter is hard not to like, pulling for the kid to be a great Nose Tackle

Meyer is one determined coach! The sleep when he's dead type. 

Im disappointed with the lack of Simon footage

Hyde looks ready to run for a 1,000

Coach Herman is hilarious, I love all the movie references..can't believe non of them knew much about Ferris Bueller.

Oh hail yes!  Today's is the best episode yet. Love to see that raw competitive spirit. Some guys getting angry in a good way out there in practice. Really lovely.

Damn, Spence and A-Wash are worth the hype! Glad to see Simon a lot in the 3rd episode.

if you can watch it on TV, they are showing all 4 episodes back to back tonight between 10-12. 

I agree bhop, I am glad I kept all 4 shows. I was so amped after watching last night's practice. I kept thinking, how great it would have been to play for a staff that was so intense. Did any others on here have a staff similar to this when you played? Urban recruits very well, but he coaches even better.

Jugdish:  My coaches in HS had several play off runs under their belt by the time I was a senior.  I'd say our two a days (which were each 3 hrs long) that lasted two weeks were "something" like this but nothing as intense as each OSU coach seems to be.  My head coach and Asst. HC/Def. coordinator were the intense ones... Now my coaches in College don't even come close to Urban's staff...not even close to my HS coaches either.  I personally believe Urban's staff will create a great atmosphere in the locker room and on the field.  Their intensity as well as demand for perfection should make for some interesting seasons to come. 

this series was awesome way better than the alabama and oklahoma ones.  carlos hyde and rod smith looked like beasts and dunn had a nice run i saw as well. i loved simon showing spence little nuances of the game. isnt their also another hr lng episode airing the 21st i beleive?

there are 4 episodes right? i can only find the first 3 on youtube :/

I haven't been this excited watching the RB's in fall camp since watching this!

Buckeye06 you are exactly right! I hear it every year as well. 

im sure many of you saw this on sportcenter today, but for those who didnt, here is another short clip. its only 3 min but i LOVE the speech at the end.

For those who hasn't had a chance to watch the episode 4, here are the links I found on YouTube.  Enjoy it.  It's getting better.  Many thanks to mrstheaumont2979 for uploading these clips.

Thanks Shaun for the great clips of episodes 1-3 and PCCHIN for the links for episode 4.

Thoughts:

Noah Spence is going to be a beast. 

Urbz is a walking quote machine:

"Spence will snap you in half."

"No blue shirts, go get him a white shirt." 

"I wanna coach you today Noah!"

"I beat Tennesse with that play 23-20." 

"It takes a little something special to be a great player. We don't have enough great players.TO HELL WITH THAT! We don't want to coach average! I don't wanna be around ya,  why be around average? Did you push yourself to be GREAT today?"

I can't remember the exact words but when he was talking about something speacial happening when the first team offense takes the field on September 1st. 

Coach Mick might be one of the most important pieces of this staff. These guys all looked in 

very good shape. 

Fickel seems much more relaxed this year (obviously). 

Simon is a monster and I was happy to see him teaching Noah. 

Hyde is going to be fun to watch. 

This team seems more like a family, than the past few years.

Coach Koombs is awesome.

Devin Smith is definitely the comedian of the family.

I really liked seeing this. It seems to me that the defense is going to carry this team for the first few games. The offense is improved but has lots of work to do. Coach Herman said it himself "we were a 2 in the Spring and now we are a 4".

It's so hard to gauge the team when the offense is going up against what will probably be one of the best units in the country. 

Next Saturday can't come soon enough.

Go Bucks!
