    The players will report today for the upcoming season. Ohio State Fair ends today. Fans are voting on which QB will start in a poll. J.T. Barnett leads Cardayle Jones 83%- 17%.

    Freshmen will report at 8:45 in the morning and upper classmen later in the afternoon.

    Full fall practice schedule is listed below for those whom might be interested.

    Ohio State just published the football team's full calendar for fall camp with the players checking in this Sunday afternoon and the first practice – for freshmen, at least – kicking off early Monday morning.

    Here's a look at what you'll be obsessing over for the next few weeks:

    That's the ONE, and only redeeming value of August - the kids arrive, and practice gets going for the upcoming season.

    The Aggies report today as well with a similar sched to the Bucks.

    I'm ready for some freakin' football!
    :p

    Scott,

    It seems like light years since last season. Best of luck to the Aggies this year.

    Bucks are certainly positioned very well this year. Alabama of the Midwest!! :)

    The consensus is that you guys are loaded. But there have to be some weakness some place. What's the word on that?

    Terry, Head Coach! :wink: Seriously depth in the defensive line is a bit thin and we need to find a replacement for Devin Smith, who caught almost anything Cardale Jones threw deep. A number of gifted receivers and speed available, it will just take some time to sort things out, at least in Coach Meyer's mind,

    Braxton Miller will be wearing #1 on his jersey this season. Urban also indicated he will be under center frequently this fall. This could be a very interesting season. :twisted:

    Under Center? Urban's offense in general has always been a shotgun offense. I wonder what he has planned. Certainly Braxton has never been a "dropback" passer. I could see using him in a wildcat formation though.
