I like this thinking.

I believe he will light the offense's fire once and for all, and he WILL have a qb that will

get the job done. Which, may not be on the roster. They made a mistake not getting him before,

now they FIXED that mistake.

2. Who starts for Ohio State next fall: Braxton Miller, JT Barrett, Cardale Jones?

This is tough, I actually think it may be Cardale.

3. Airballs? Much Ado About Nothing......or a big deal? (yes, I am talking about Brady and his deflated balls)

It's a big deal, because of spygate. You can't condone this going outside of the rules another time. They will

get a fine, maybe draft pick... to show that the rules matter. But it's pretty much not a HUGE big deal.

4. What was the most interesting/unique/coolest/weirdest/suckiest whatever class you took in school?

The most interesting class was Freshman English, believe it or not - it was about the Monomyth, Joseph Campbell's

brilliant work "Hero of a Thousand Faces", an expert analysis on the universal trends of elements of adventure in

ancient mythology, all the way up to current day novels. I was fascinated, and did my term paper, all 38 pages,

or was it 42..... "Parsifal's Quest for the Holy Grail and How it Relates to the Basic Monomythical Patterns

In Literature". Oh yeah, I was INTO that term paper. And I got the first A++ he had ever given a student.

And the damn thing was stolen, with all the other A and B papers out of his office, and I never had a copy.

Well, we didn't have computers etc back then. Dammit.

The other amazing class, was on the history of the Middle East. That was great.

The "suckiest" class was Art Appreciation. The weirdo prof flashed pictures of paintings on the wall, and said who

painted it, and the date. That's all. Every stupidass class. The midterm ? It was the same pics of paintings on the wall,

but ...we....had to name the STYLE of each one. Which, he never talked about, or referred to, in class.

"realism"..."cubism" ..."impressionism".... what a sick freak prof he was.

5. What is the most interesting work of art that you have ever laid eyes on? (seen in person)

The truth? God's creations - the mountains, streams, rivers, trees, oceans... "Mother Earth" I love

the real outdoors. And my wonderful cute Wifie loves tent camping and fishing.

And, of course, God's other creation, referring to the two naked babes on the beach......

Try the old Gothic Catholic Church there as well. Quite a site inside and out.

5. What is the most interesting work of art that you have ever laid eyes on? (seen in person)

"interesting?" la sagrada familia in barcelona is stunning and very unusual.

I agree that was great, especially the "tree" columns that hold it all up inside with a natural light opening for the sun on the main alter at noon. I loved Barcelona. I have always told my wife that when one of us dies, I'm moving to the Caribbean. However, Barcelona would be a very close second. They have some damn beautiful brunet women there I would take a heart attach for any day of the week.

As they say in the draft-best available.

2. Who starts for Ohio State next fall: Braxton Miller, JT Barrett, Cardale Jones?

Barrett or Jones-betting Miller transfers.

3. Airballs? Much Ado About Nothing......or a big deal? (yes, I am talking about Brady and his deflated balls)

Balls sitting out in cold weather that were already at the minimum would do just that. I suspect they will conduct a test to prove it.

4. What was the most interesting/unique/coolest/weirdest/suckiest whatever class you took in school?

Accounting was the most boring drudgery ever invented and perpetrated on human beings. Had to be on suicide watch for two semesters worth.

5. What is the most interesting work of art that you have ever laid eyes on? (seen in person)

Michealangelo's David in Florence, Italy hands down. I bet most here do not know he is actually in motion of taking his first step towards Goliath and that he is left handed. The sling goes from that hand over his back to the rock he has in his right hand. Two prior artists had given up on that stone he carved it from whereas he saw "David" inside and felt all he was doing was freeing him from the stone. If you do nothing else in life, go see it.

And the Mona Lisa in Paris is far outshined by several portraits of women by Renior there.
