I'm too technically inept to insert a link while using my cell phone, but for an account, Google "Plainfield Teachers College football hoax." It wasn't as long ago as I thought - just 1941 - and the star player was Johnny Chung.

I remember that issue. Great job by SI. It also brings to mind a case (that I can't find a citation for) from about 80-100 years ago when someone made up a college and its football team, and sent in the scores of its fake ever-more-dominating wins to one or more newspapers over the course of a season, even making up snippets about some of its best players, leading some in the media (and perhaps polls) to consider it one of the top teams in the country. I'll have to do some more research to see if I can find anything on it. You'd think the "experts" would have grown more savvy by now, but I guess not.

Didn't they get a new DC?

Yep, it fits the pattern, like all the "September Heismans" they've amassed.

Taylor - until Day actually lands this guy, this will be the most important question we'll expect you to answer. So out with it!

You mean it's not like the quarterback position in football where the most popular guy is the backup?

Give n that he's likely in line to start in 2020 or 2021 (whenever Munford departs), I certainly hope not.

What happened with him?

Shutting down the UM offense for the next couple years is the way for him to go out, coupled with a natty or 2 and a pair of Big Ten championships,

We really need to land a couple of these CBs.

I'd assume it's really his palate, but what do I know?

No one's on the Baldwin Bus?

Which small town?

You're not supposed to be giving answers to the new kid.

You'd better ban "loves" and "loathes" as well if you want to make it a challenge.

It's been a long time since I've been in Columbus. How wide is that street?

I'm not really rooting for his demise, even though I know that by him losing the number of games I hope he loses he's likely to be gone in another year, maybe two. Could Michigan then potentially hire Campbell or some other young hotshot? If course that us POSSIBLE, but somehow I have this guy feeling they'll be able to muff the next hire as badly as they did the previous three, and all will still be well with the world.

Think how disheartened Michigan fans will be when a Bryant U QB tosses a couple TDs against them.

I have a few guesses myself, but have always considered it inappropriate to make them publicly, especially when they're pure hunches. Of course, once they come to pass, you can count on me truthfully reporting that I had been right.

I doubt this would signal one way or the other. I'd be highly surprised if 2 more guys didn't leave by fall, giving room for both.

Some guys have both; other guys have just one of them

Hasn't his bigger problem been getting off blocks rather than actual speed? If that's the case, then another year with Coach Mick and a year with someone who does a better job teaching fundamentals could result in improvement.  I want him to improve, but then if someone still beats him out, we're in an even better place.  

Congrats, Kevin!

I had predicted the guy would have gotten a scholarship by this past season.  I was off a year.

No way was this happening without the staff having confidence someone is leaving, and no one is being pushed out the door to make room for a walk-on (no matter how good the walk-on).

I'm not sure that he dominates, but I have a hunch he'll be improved this coming year and help to bring the Buckeye defense back to a level where it should be. Maybe he's this year's (defensive) Terry McLaurin?

Baldwin waited his turn in HS, and he landed at Ohio State. I don't expect him to go anywhere, unless perhaps if Miller supplants him in his second spring.
