Midol?You come in here, all smug and pompous, with your "inside information," telling us to abandon our worry circle, when you have no idea if we want to be happy. You just assume. The gall! The nerve! The pure impudence! If you had a lick of sense about you, you'd understand by now that this isn't a place for contentment. We come here to share our worries! To stress. To anguish. To fuss and to fret. To brood and to grumble. To take comfort in the warm embrace of like-minded cynics!
We'll not hear of your sunshine and rainbows, kind sir!
Good day!
Understandable, but Egbuka had to play 4 years. I am sure Tate is looking to leave after next year. Tillman and Hyatt getting drafted where they were is a great pitch because they were not 5 star players to begin with.That makes sense on the surface, but OSU is a WR factory. For instance, Emeka Egbuka was never higher on the depth chart than WR2 but he just broke the OSU receiving record and is a projected first rounder. All while we haven’t had a first round WR in 12 years. Not trying to bash the Vols and would love to have Tate, but it’s just weird he would leave based on the track record of OSU WRs as of late. Sorry for playing devils advocate but him leaving Columbus would just be very confusing to me.
Bull. This is the Big 10 apologists' way of saying the SEC was cheating while they weren't.If Phil Knight is serious about winning Oregon a title, he'll offer Jeremiah Smith a huge NIL deal that OSU can't match to get him to transfer. He could probably lure Hartline to be WR coach at Oregon by doubling his salary, or more.
Listening to the radio yesterday, they said this new NIL era may benefit Big 10 schools more than SEC schools because they have more rich donors willing to get involved now that it's legal to basically pay players. These same donors didn't want to risk it when it was under the table and meant punishment if caught. No idea how true it is. Just stating what was said on the radio.
I wouldn't let any of you weirdos embrace me. I'm not falling for that reach-around ploy.You come in here, all smug and pompous, with your "inside information," telling us to abandon our worry circle, when you have no idea if we want to be happy. You just assume. The gall! The nerve! The pure impudence! If you had a lick of sense about you, you'd understand by now that this isn't a place for contentment. We come here to share our worries!

I think the QB thing may play a part too. He would be WR1 here and have a young, talented QB throwing to him. There's no guarantee he would be WR1 at Oregon and zero experience returning at QB for them. JMOIf he decides to enter, I fear it is Oregon. However, our pitch is WR1, and Nico Oregon can sell WR1 as well though.
They didn't say Big 10 schools had no donors willing to go the illicit route. They just said Big 10 schools have more millionaire alumni than SEC schools, and now that it's legal to do, more of those alumni are willing to get involved. The narrative seemed to be more rich people come from up north than the poor south. I have no idea. Just repeating what I heard on the radio. If someone else has the desire to actually research the validity of such a claim, feel free.Bull. This is the Big 10 apologists' way of saying the SEC was cheating while they weren't.
They were. 5* kids weren't leaving the South to go to Ohio State for free while turning down cash from SEC schools. It's an idiotic concept. Look how many highly rated recruits Ohio State and Michigan have landed from Florida, Georgia, Texas, etc. during the Harbaugh/Meyer Era.
I was told by a former recruiting analyst that Rashan Gary's mother basically put it out there his sophomore year of high school that he would sign with a program that offered him a bank load of cash. Michigan beat out Clemson and Ole Miss for him. But, yeah, I'm sure they offered nothing.
