    What happened to the whole "keep big money out of politics and education" lecture you Liberals love so much?

    What an incredibly pathetic attempt to troll this thread. Not only have I never made any threads on that subject, but it us completely irrelevant to this thread.

    Please, don't embarrass yourself.

    It shows your selective outrage. You don't mind the cash when it flows to your doorstep and interest but god forbid Donald Trump donate money.

    I'm not biting. I'm done.

    Maybe someone will post something about the thread topic and CFB

    OK....the extra money won't help them beat Ohio St.

  • No shit.

    But it will impact OSUs next apparel deal. They'll probably leapfrog this.

  • I hope they don't nike up Michigans pretty classic uniform

    People were already pretty pissed at Adidas doing that. From the bumblebee uniforms to the highlighter yellow maize.

    Everyone wanted to go back to Nike. Fans, players, employees, etc. I had heard the Under Armor and Adidas offered even more than Nike too. Actually, UA would have been cool too because they make high quality shit.

    Rich Rod.....it didn't help....Rich Rod wanted Pryor didn't go to WVa....and when RR went to Mich. Pryor wanted none of that so he came to OSU...and still kept the ride RR gave him.

  • RRod kept giving him rides as an OSU student? Weird.

    Pryor would have been amazing in a RRod offense. And Denard as a "Percy Harvin" role, god damn. He'd still be coaching here. His inability to coach D or hire a good DC wouldn't be so bad if they scored 50 a game.

    But then we'd have to deal with Pryor the person. And Denard probably wouldn't have ever come here. So, really, idk if I would make that change. Probably not.

    Gave him a car.

    Pryor would have been amazing in a RRod offense.

    As what? A WR

    And Denard as a "Percy Harvin" role, god damn. He'd still be coaching here. His inability to coach D or hire a good DC wouldn't be so bad if they scored 50 a game.

    You overestimate Dennard's abilities.

    What has he done in the pros?

    But then we'd have to deal with Pryor the person. And Denard probably wouldn't have ever come here. So, really, idk if I would make that change. Probably not.

  • Well clearly RRod needed to give him more cars. OSU outbid us!

    No, as a spread QB. Pat White was amazing in it. Denard was amazing in it. Pryor would have been as well, plus, he'd actually have QB size but keep the speed.

    And yes, I still think Pryor could have been an amazing WR.

    I wasn't even talking about Denards abilities. I was talking about his personality, who he is as a person, how he represented the university, etc.

    In the pros? He spent one season recovering from a nerve injury and learning like 5 positions. Then the Jags realized that was a bad idea and let him focus on one. When Gerhart went down and he got his chance last year,he performed very well. He had a 4 week stretch with almost 400 yards and 4 TDs. On a terrible Jags team.

    It is a reasonable bet to say he'll be more productive in the NFL than Pryor...

    May still be

    Who cares about that...unless you are his mama or his employer?

    Maybe so.....Robinson will be asked to do different things. With his squatty body he may be an OK speedster out of the backfield. Essentially he is really just going to do what he did in college....run the ball abd skitter around.(but now he does not have to worry about passing).

    Pryor's transition I believe is far different and difficult to the WR spot.

  • He may still be, but time is not on his side.

    That is my university too. I care. An outsider would have a hard time understanding exactly what Denard did.

    I'm honestly confused, what do you mean by "squatty"?

    It is very similar to what he did in college. The Jags originally tried to teach him a handful of spots, then got smart and focused on HB. He'll add KR this season.

    You're probably right though that QB to WR is more difficult because of the catching. At HB, then running and following blocks is slightly different, but still similar to what a run first QB does.

  • We need to go back to Nike too. Adidas blows.

    Its not an issue of understanding....it is simply that there are 10,000 other college football players that are "good people" as well. Unless he is a friend or relative of mine....all he is to me is a paid performer (paid can include scholarship)

    I'm honestly confused, what do you mean by "squatty"?

    Short and muscular.

    Probably smart

    Precisely.
