This is the kind of shit that I'm sure Urban looked at on the list of responsibilities as was like "WTF". Also, the commercial for Rewind is so freaking annoying.

A Kansas-tOSU game reminds me of a quote by Donald Rumsfeld when Pakistan said they didn't want US soldiers looking for Bin Laden in their country: "We will bomb you back to the stone age."

They both have severe Aggy tendencies so I imagine they will be very annoying before the game, during the game, and into the end of time.

They already played Nebraska and Indiana so they can't do those two. The aggys are available though if BIG approves OOC.

Seems like their AD is trying to find another game to play in-conference.

If I see reactions on BuckeyeScoop, I will post... I remember them being worried about qualifying for the playoff if they can't play in the CCG.

This is huge... if KU is cancelled as well, huge for the conspiracy theory.

Here's your $9.95

What job is he going to take though? ND and USC are having great years. He sure as hell isn't going to take the Michigan job if he "values his legacy to OSU".

Yeah IIRC I think Burton said that their one "unimpeachable source" has not said no.

What have we heard about Alex Grinch?

I do find it interesting that RGL is doubling down again though. If he is right, will we enshrine him in the Surly HOF?

Squid, is that you...

You're speaking my language investor-bro

Damn that sounds like the nail in the coffin.

I just realized the "alpha" in your name refers to alpha as in unexplained returns. Tip of the hat.

I feel like the only way this timeline gets pulled forward for the conspiracy/tinfoil hat scenario is Michigan beating tOSU but pretty sure tOSU will beat them like they stole something.

I think he's trolling haha

Always respect a good puke and rally. Props old man.

Feel like DB has generally been right on stuff so this makes me sad.

Seems like a lot of back and forth to me. To be fair, has just been "no" for us. » The New York Times published a story Tuesday noting that Meyer had met with Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne one week ago in Miami, FL to discuss his school’s coaching position. Meyer, according to the story, declined the opportunity but “expressed his desire to return to coaching.” » Two days later, BuckeyeGrove.com writer Kyle Rowland tweeted the following: “Same plane that came from Gainesville to OSU airport was in Miami when Urban Meyer met with Univ. of Ariz. That meeting took place in Miami.” » CBS Sports’ NFL insider Mike Freeman then referenced a report he read on Scout.com Thursday, tweeting that “Urban Meyer has agreed to coach OSU for 7 years, $35 million. If true, whoa.” » After that began to circulate, Sports Illustrated’s Andy Staples attempted to set the record straight with a tweet of his own: “Spoke to someone who would know tonight and was told any report of a deal between Urban Meyer and Ohio State is untrue.” » However, Buckeyes blog Eleven Warriors quickly took to Twitter to divulge what they had uncovered: “We are 99.7% sure Urban Meyer has agreed to a deal to become the next coach of Ohio State. Solid sources. Plural.” » Shortly after, The Gainesville Sun’s Pat Dooley texted Meyer directly and asked him specifically about the rumor that he had accepted the OSU job. “No truth to it,” Meyer replied via text. » Meyer’s wife Shelley also made a statement after being contacted by WCJB TV20 and asked if her husband had agreed to coach Ohio State. “No, he did not,” she told the station. » SPORTSbyBROOKS then posted a full story about the Meyer situation Friday evening, reporting that a “deal between Meyer and Ohio State was consummated in principle earlier this week in Columbus but not signed.” Brooks goes on to cite specifics of the agreement including a “generous compensation package” and a promise from the school to provide him with the ability to hire the “highest-paid assistant coaching staff in college football history.” » Saturday morning, Associated Press writer Larry Lage asked Meyer about the deal. He declined comment. He also questioned ESPN analyst Chris Spielman (rumored by Brooks to be a future Meyer assistant) about the situation, and Spielman said there was no deal between Meyer and OSU. » While doing color commentary for the Michigan-Nebraska game at noon, Meyer addressed the rumors on the air (video😞 “I know it’s that time of year. I’ve not been offered any job, and I’ve certainly not accepted any job,” he said. » Minutes later, ESPN.com released its version of Brooks’s story, noting that “Ohio State has been in contact with Urban Meyer about becoming the school’s coach” but “no contract is in place and no announcement likely would be made until after the regular season.” » UPDATE: Dooley had an extensive conversation with Meyer over the weekend about the rumors that he might return to coaching. Meyer denied reports of interviews with both Arizona and Ohio State but did say he would consider an offer from the latter institution. “I’m in a good place right now mentally and physically. So if something happens with Ohio State, I’ll have a decision to make,” Meyer said. “If there is a decision to be made concerning Ohio State, there will be a lot that will go into it. But right now, there is no decision to be made.”

Lebron definitely doesn't think so.

Given how many head fakes there were in Urban's OSU hiring and how they waited until the season was over, it's hard to completely let this one go. Thanks for checking.
