Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes Back to Top L.C.

The buckeyes need to be down to 85 by the fall. So, they have to persuade three more players to please leave? Ohio usually has stayed under the 85, and has one every now and then to award to a deserving walkon. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top allen General User Member Since: 1/24/2006 Post Count: 4,635 Status: Offline     RE: Tyler Gerald    Posted: 3/14/2017 8:57:57 PM  Yes that means they will chase at least 3 players away. What an awful practice! They already had Collier, a wide receiver and Trout leave so that means they had 91 scholarships filled at one time. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

And those kids will have to sit for a year if they transfer. Awful. The NCAA sucks. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Ohio did oversign one year, and I wasn't impressed with the practice when Ohio did it, either. In that particular year it's not clear to me if it was intentional, or if it was a case of a couple kids qualifying who weren't expected to qualify. You don't get to 91 by accident, though, especially when you don't sign anyone that you aren't pretty sure will qualify. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top allen General User Member Since: 1/24/2006 Post Count: 4,635 Status: Offline     RE: Tyler Gerald    Posted: 3/15/2017 8:08:15 AM  L.C. wrote: BillyTheCat wrote: L.C. wrote: The disturbing part of that article, at least to me, was this comment: cleveland.com wrote: Ohio State currently sits at 88 scholarship players heading into spring practice.

They do it every year. Edit: Just found the answer -- back-counting. http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/five-years... / Last Edited: 3/15/2017 11:35:03 AM by Pataskala We will get by.
