While I disagree with your opinion here, I find your reasoning to support said opinion to be flawless!

I agree, as long as its a transfer to an out of conference program, I really don't have an issue with the one-time no penalty transfer.

Agreed.  The old NSD was the first day a player could officially commit.  It wasn't a deadline.  While the vast majority of recruits sent in their LOI on NSD, not all did.  TP, for example, finished out his senior year basketball season before officially committing to Ohio State.

So in essence I'm not sure so much has changed, other than most recruits sending their LOI's in two months earlier than they used to.

You don't think Tress was a great coach here???  The Vest is a legend!

I actually remember the teams of the 80's and 90's.  Tress elevated the entire program.   IMO the Tressel-Meyer era has been nothing but a Golden Age of OSU football.

And the random "nearly blew the Arkansas game" comment....  A classic demonstration of Tresselball in action.  Might not have been super pretty, but it won a ton of games.

If he coaches again, I wish him the best.   Thanks for seven great seasons, extending a GOLDEN AGE of OSU football that started 18yrs ago when Tress was hired.

Yes Ginn dusted his man but Brees under-threw him which led to the INT.   Yes, Ginn is still fast.....

Agreed, he came off as very punchable on QB1.

I got the Buckeyes in the Rose at -4.  Now up to -7.  Still a bargain though, the team's gonna show up and show out and send Urban off right.

If Cam Newton didn't get caught cheating at Florida, and thus being forced to transfer out to a JuCo, I see Urban Meyer's tenure at Florida lasting a few seasons longer than it did.

As it stands, I think he'll retire in a season or two from Ohio State.

I watched Ted Ginn OSU highlights during halftime.  Wish I'd have just played them on loop for the entire 3.5hrs of the game.

Nick Bosa is just a selfish jerk putting himself above his school's ability to make money off of him without giving him any of it. Theirs the door Bosa!

Throw it deep!

10 targets. 10 catches.  Dude is a stud.

Correct choice!

Power move!

Yep, recruiting has gone down the shitter, and JT's horrid play is responsible.

I hear Bert Bielema is available.

I believe Alvarez specifically was 3-1 vs The Vest.

He will be missed, but not as missed as Freak On A Leash.

This has to be right, otherwise there would be no point of having divisions. 

It makes no sense if the Big Ten East representative is not the Big Ten East team with the best Big Ten East record.  Assuming the team is also tied for the best overall conference record.

Yes, I believe you are correct.  Ohio state clinches the Big Ten East with a win over Illinois, regardless of what happens in other games..  The best possible BTE record TTUN can have includes two BTE losses.  If OSU takes care of business next Saturday, the most possible BTE losses it can have is one.  So the Bucks can clinch their trip to Indy Saturday.

Otherwise, there would be no point of having divisions in the first place.

They really botched the hell out of that one.
