Ouch, I hate to read that headline

...The Daily News reports Ohio State's recruiting victories of late have been all the more sweet because they've come at the expense of rival Michigan. Ohio State coach Jim Tressel has gone head-to-head with new Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez for seven recruits and has landed six: linebacker Dorian Bell and running back Jordan Hall from Pennsylvania; defensive end Melvin Fellows, offensive lineman Corey Linsley and defensive lineman Adam Bellamy from Ohio; and receiver James Jackson from Michigan.

R-Rod is recruiting kids to fit a certain system.  Sometimes those kids are not the top ranked players in the country.  I'm not worried.

On a side note, gotta love the heading in the paper in our own backyard.  Geesh.  Where's the love....

Crushing??

According to Rivals, UM's class is averaging 3.75 stars while OSU's class is averaging 3.78.  That is hardly crushing.  The only difference is volume.  But with that, OSU is basically done with the exception of bout 3-4 more where as UM still has half their scholarships available.  The Free Press should probably try comparing the classes a little closer to signing day.

This is moronic.  RR has had, what, 6 months?  I'd say he's done a lot in a short time.  The Vest has had forever.  More importantly, these star rankings mean exactly squat right now.  But hey, just keep building up that super power OSU.  Makes it all the more sweet when they crash and burn.

You hit the nail on the head! I don't understand why the local media is so prone to bashing Michigan. Like Kobe said the other day, "people don't listen unless you've got somebody to throw sh!t against the window". Our average could very well rise above Ohio State's 3.78 stars. Darius Winston has 5, and so does Shaq Evans. If we get one and a few other decent prospects (which I am sure we will) then our class will be deeper than Ohio State's.

Glad to see the Freep living up to its reputation as a rag.

Serves us right for hiring Michigan graduates.

tOSU was THE leader in graduation rate and a role model for discipline during the Woody Hayes-Earle Bruce era. Cooper destroyed that legacy. RR is UM's version of Cooper. I will enjoy seeing UM fans kicked off your high horse when arrests pile up.

Of course the bucks hire UOFM grads because tosu grads cant read...i.e Andy Katzenmoyer.....I think the last book he tried to read was Green Eggs and Ham...He had trouble sounding out H...A...M.

What are those things, letters?  I can't make sense of any of it.  
 
C'mon, you can't be serious.  Did you fire that barb from your big glass house on the corner of Slocum and Manningham in the town of Kinesiology?  Btw, Katz isn't a grad (not even close), he's just a former student. (and I do use that term loosely)

Come back when the Community College of Columbus can actually compete academically with other state schools in Ohio.  UofOSU is definitely Michigan's 'little brother" when it comes to academics...57-41-6
 
My nephew recently finished his first year at O$U in the Honors program and is transferring out because he told me "It was too easy, I wasted my first year of college".

Nothing screams inferiority like pulling the academic card, or in ND's case, the God card on a football forum.  And nothing screams quality education like a 6 on the wonderlic.  Rivalries are fun.

I don't feel inferior to osu last I checked even after your teams recent dominance we still have a 17 game lead.......Oh how quickly buck fans forget their recent struggles. osu has never lost to MICHIGAN they have just got jobbed 57 freakin times. I HATE anything scarlet&gray
