    I may have some Michigan bias, but I'm pretty level headed compared to how some treat OSU around here

    You sealed the deal in our "conversation" about colleges forever ago

    Yes, I did. I signed, sealed and delivered that conversation. I know a lot more about colleges and their worthiness than you ever will. Well, maybe not ever. Some day you may have kids and you will have to evaluate colleges like I had to. Though, maybe in your case your maize and glazed eyes will make you insist on them going to your school.

    I was not that venal.....and I also knew that the schools I attended were not a well rated academically as the schools I sent my kids to. Also, in my case, my kids had close to total control over where they went....subject to my approval.

    I sent my son to THE top academic college in the state. (and certainly better than the school you went to) (and it was his choice to stay in state and not go out of state). And now he is in the process of getting his Ph.D. from an Ivy League school (Cornell). I sent my daughter to perhaps the #2 academic school in the state of Texas (second only to Rice). And in its class, it is considered the #1 regional university in the entire southwest USA. Her choice, but again subject my approval (and it warranted approval).

    So don't even think for a moment that you know more about what constitutes a quality education than I do.

    Hahaha. No you don't man, no you don't.

    You had no idea what you were talking about then and still don't.

    Really, any other detail I go into here and I'll just come off as an asshole (I'm sure that's "more" of an asshole to some). I'm sorry, but Akron's Engineering is not "top notch" and Miami OH isn't "on par" with Michigan. I really don'y consider tiny little liberal arts schools "superior", but at that point we're comparing apples and oranges.

  • University of Michigan all the way.

  • If he turns out to be our QB for the next 15 years, it won't matter if we picked him 1 or 12. In hindsight people will say it's a good thing we picked him #1 overall because the Stoolers were going to come up to 2 and take him.

    I'm more worried about Pittsburgh trading up for OJ Howard. I'll bet they end up with Mahomes if they stay put.

    Well...lets put it this way...from anecdotal evidence, the people I know from the engineering department ARE better than the people I know from the

    Michigan engineering department. If that were to extrapolate to all graduates, then it certainly would be the case. Though, yes, it may not extrapolate.

    And...no shit Sherlock. A huge university is an apples and oranges comparison to a small liberal arts college.

    And certainly I am not saying that all liberal arts colleges are superior to all major universities.

    I am only saying that the ones I am associated with....in their fields, are better that the one you are associated with in the same fields.

    Nah, you know me. I just like giving people from Texas some good natured shit. (besides, fyi, my daughter lives in Texas....and I give her the same shit sometimes)

    And the same with Woody...and he is from Meeeshugan.

    And think of the shit I give people from Pittsburgh...and the Ohio River bifurcates that town.

    But, you know, people from Tennessee, like you and Flugel? Boy oh boy oh boy!! 😆

  • Browns will host Mitch Trubisky for a private workout in Berea Friday

    PHOENIX -- The Browns will conduct a private workout with Mitch Trubisky on Friday, but all they have to do is walk downstairs to their fieldhouse for the session, league sources tell cleveland.com.

    Trubisky, the Mentor, Ohio native and former Ohio Mr. Football, will participate in the Browns visit day Friday for local college prospects who attended high school or college in the area.

    Unlike the other 30 pre-draft the Browns are permitted, the local prospects are allowed to work out at the Browns' facility during the hometown day. That means the Browns don't have to spend one of their 30 visits on Trubisky, and they can conduct the visit and the workout all on the same day.

    Hometown Day exemption... interesting loophole.

  • Hue Jackson just said that this might not be the year we get our QB of the future. As much as that completely hurts to hear, it's something I've been thinking a lot about. We have a ton of picks, and quality picks at that. So what if we do the unthinkable and just MAKE the selections? What can we do with the first overall pick, the #12, the #33, and the Titans' 2nd rounder? That's a bunch of swings at the plate. Even though those four selections represent rookies, and you never know with them, I think our team is better than last year's. Part of that has to do with how AWFUL we were, but part of that also has to do with the talent we are acquiring. We nail those picks this year....and anything is possible. My goal is to build something like the Texans. Let's get that defense rocking, let's run the ball, let's win the close games. We could go from one win to 5-6, and while that doesn't sound "amazing", I think it would represent a solid season.

    It is simple what to do. If you are not going to prioritize a QB, then you just take the best player available. Anyone we get, if they turn out to be good, can help this team. We just don't need any more busts. We have already fulfilled our quota for the decade.

    It's the reality that I have come to grips with for a while now. Add as many good football players as possible to a team full of Swiss Cheese type holes, limp through a 3-5 win season, show improvement, get your QB once most of the holes are filled.

    If the organization doesn't love, and I do mean love one of the QBs that are available this year (draft, trade or FA) then just ride and die with those that are already on the roster...... Why add AJfookinMcCarron or Michelle13gamestookforevertobethestarterTrubisky to compete for the backup QB spot in a room already full of backup QBs??

    Because in Trubisky you have a guy with Aaron Rodgers like potential. So sayeth Todd McShay and many others. And, again, the only hangup most of them have about him was the limited experience.

    Everyone has their opinion, but I certainly don't share one that compares him to Aaron Rodgers in any way, shape or form.... Now, Brady Quinn like comparisons, that I'd agree with.

    Not one. Many.

  • I think the Browns should target whoever they think will be the best QB. That person does not have to start right away. So if they think they can get that QB in round 2 thats fine. But we cannot ignore the QB position and "hope" we are in position next year to get a QB. That is a doomed strategy.
