    Case in point Don was that amazing class Jimbo put together and which Saban accused him of "buying" players.

    Of course that's what everyone does now.

    Jimbo was fired 2 years later I believe.

    Yeah, that class was a microcosm of Jimbo. He was just grabbing guys based on their rating... not based on team needs. We ended up with a 3 deep of DL that were all world class... and then they transferred because they werent getting on the field, while several other positions didn't have any bodies to line up.

    Elko on the other hand seems to have a very real purpose in the way he recruits.
    I almost wish I still cared... I like big Mike.

    Woody Hayes Athletic Complex is looking to spend 125 million to update the facility within the next 18 months. Ironically naming rights to the The Ohio stadium may be in the works as well. For sure that will be met with resistance by fans, but it takes money and lot of it to keep athetice programs afloat now days. I can hardly wait to see how many trillion $'s will be required? Stayed tuned!o_O

    Kid there are a lot o great college QB's this year and Sayin is of course one of them. Irish C.J. Carr is one who is also expected to grow, and don't forget that 10M QB at Miami and Arch Manning at Texas. And the TCU kid who transferred to IU, Josh Hoover, will he be another winner that they pull out of the hat?

    I was looking at the list of College QB's who were at the Manning Passing Academy...wow what a list.
