  1. LJ SR is nearing or at 70. I think Ohio State is his last stop. He is a fantastic DL coach.
  2. Mickey Marotti and Mark Pantoni. Pantoni is Director of Player Personnel at Ohio State. He's as fanatical about and works as hard at recruiting as Urban Meyer. Losing those two guys would hurt a lot although, no offense intended, switching to Texas from Ohio State at this point is at best a lateral move IMO. Kevin WIlson would hurt as well but Day is the quarterback whisperer so I think that loss could be absorbed pretty easily. Meyer's son-in-law would probably leave and I don't see that as a blow. I don't see anyone else on the staff as a possibility and with Meyer's ties to the program and the state of Ohio I'm not sure how hard he'd press for anyone other than those I mentioned. JMO.
  3. Penn State has traditionally locked down DelMarVa and they seem to be getting back to dominating those areas in recruiting along with New Jersey. There are a lot of very good recruits in those states. Well, except for the Delaware part.
  4. If Meyer goes to Texas it wouldn't surprise me if JT Barrett came onto the staff in some capacity. Obviously, down the food chain a ways.
  5. Does anyone actually think that Ohio State is a worse team than Notre Dame or Georgia?
  6. Hotel Secreto is amazing. We won’t stay anywhere else.
  7. If they don't buy-in Urban Meyer will either adjust their attitude or process them. It's his was or the highway. So we agree.
  8. What programs is Texas on par with? Michigan? YAY!!! Hell yes, we're on par with those programs. If you don't realize that then poor you.
  9. Yeah, there's a team named Ohio State as well that you have to compete with.
  10. Wrong. Great coaches develop payers. Then players become great players.
  11. Bullshit. You want your backups competing and pushing your starters. Everything is a competition. No ones job is safe. That’s how you get better. How do you expect backups to perform with your attitude? Next man up.
  12. That’s the problem. They aren’t. Not even close.
  13. He could also leave behind a guy like Ryan Day to run the program. Day has exceeded all expectations at Ohio State and recruiting hasn't missed a beat.
  14. The health thing is what makes me think no. Apparently the flareups and headaches are much worse under stress and when Urban Meyer coaches it creates a ton of stress. The man demands excellence from everyone around him. The only thing about his time at Ohio State I would criticize is some of his assistant coaching hires. He's loyal to a fault. Example. Zach Smith. Also Alex Grinch who has proven to be a DC of dubious abilities. Tim Beck as well and a couple others. Meyer would take recruiting to a level never seen before at Texas. He really knows how to sell a national brand. He'd also be likely to dominate the series with your biggest rival.
  15. Fair enough. It does seem that character came much more into play when Meyer recruited at Ohio State vs his days at Florida. Evey year there were reports of recruits that Ohio State backed off of because of character issues while Meyer (and now Day) were at Ohio State. Not surprisingly, many of those players ended up being problems at the university they ultimately chose. I personally believe this was dictated by the university after the black eye Tressel put on the program. Obviously, there was most likely increased scrutiny by the NCAA as well after Tressel.
  16. Jesus Christ enough. Show me the supposed cheating at Ohio State under Urban Meyer. Yes, he should have cut ties with Zach Smith but from a football standpoint it was a clean program. The Smith situation was not acceptable and he ended up leaving but stop with the cheating bullshit.
  17. Piedmonte region and Tuscany are my favorites. I'm starting to explore French wines a bit more. I'm pretty well versed in the Italian wines I prefer. I like California wines but cannot stand the big fruit bombs. I have a couple of cases at a friends house in Ohio from his trip to Italy last year. I need to get up there and pick them up. Next year was going to be an Italy year (we go every 3 years) but I don't see that trip happening. I generally purchase 10-15 cases there so that is a hole in my purchasing I need to fill. I can get Barone Ricasoli through a US distrbutor so I will probably pick up some Brolio and some of their Super Tuscans.
  18. I need to order wine. A lot of wine. I haven't purchased any this year and my stock is going down.
  19. So sorry to hear that SBB. We lost two within three months of each other in 2018. That was a tough end of the year for us. Still missing them.
  20. Really? Lol. Real defenses do.
