It's real hard to argue with Wildcat on the OSU stuff. I love Ohio State, they've been my 2-3 team since the day Tressel took over. I really like Jim Tressel a lot, and I think his staff is among the best in the country. I also think that it speaks volumes for a staff who changes that offense late in the season to take advantage of their speed. There's so many great players on that team that it's not even fair to list them because you'll forget people. But 2 names that haven't been mentioned yet are Fraser and Underwood.

But I do honestly believe that Paul Posluzny is right now the best college linebacker in the country going in 05, and anyone who has seen this guy play has got to give him credit. Penn State has absolutely added talent this offseason that has an enormous amount of potential. The defense is only going to get better. Once again I say this: if Bradley's job with that defense is any indicator of how it'll be when he takes over for Paterno, there is an enormous light at the end of the tunnel. It may have taken 5 years for him to get his act together, but if this defense keeps up it all worth it. The same goes for you Pitt fans. You have a new head coach who could make Pitt better than they ever were. Won't all the years of struggles be well worth it?

whoa, i did not say connor is better than hawk right now. i said he may become better than hawk and posluzny by the end of next year. connor is an absolute freak. if he puts on 15 leans lbs, he will be like the perfect middle linebacker. intensity, technique, awareness, speed, and most importantly instincts are all traits connor brings to the table. i assume strength will be another in a year or two.

don't take offense when i say posluzny is as good as hawk. i think the world of posluzny. he was a true leader as a sophomore last year. was posluzny an all-american like hawk last year? no. do i think poz played just as well as hawk last year? yes. being on a 4-7 team, poz or any psu defensive player that deserved post season accolades did not get as much credit as if they were on a 7-4 team.

i wish zemaitis could have played edwards...

i do not see anywhere that anyone said tOSU does not develop their players.

next year's osu/psu game at the beav. will be a true dog fight. mark that down!
