LOL what are you talking about?

Ohio State does produce some good players, but remember 99.9 % don't even start in the pro's...

Reggie Bush started his first year coming from USC...

So did AJ Hawk, so did Troy Smith, so did Ted Ginn Jr, so did Santonio Holmes... should I go on?

There is no going on...those are the ONLY 4 players that got front row seats because they were watching the game from the bench....I guess you can call them the bench warmers

All of those guys were starters in their rookie year

Troy Smith watched from the bench until their QB fell apart...and Ted Ginn smiled the whole game and took it like he won the game all by himself even though he doesn't even play....

Troy Smith waited until he got an opportunity to start, then he played well, and you can bet he'll be their starting QB game 1 of next season...

want some more? Anthony Gonzalez, Nick Mangold, Ashton Youboty, Mike Nugent... all guys that start at the NFL in their young careers

What year was that? Was it before football had standards?

what year was?? those are all guys from Ohio State playing in their first, second, maybe 3rd season and starting for their teams

I think we ran off all the others with all this sports talk!


So when are you going to go hiking?

ok here is the rundown according to espn archives...since 1967, number of players from ohio state who have had significant playing time as a starter...
quarter backs...11....third place
running backs...28...sixth place
wide receivers..25...fifth place
tight ends......9....eighth place

ohio state has not produced any more starters from any notable position than any team....ever

Thanks Cdaddy....I'm going to have to buy you that drink hehe

Why go back to the 60's?

Since 2000 Ohio State has had more kids drafted than any other school (except tied with Miami). 59 to be exact.

That's 18 more than USC, 24 more than Nebraska, 26 more than Oklahoma, 9 more than Tennessee, 14 more than Florida, 14 more than Georgia, 23 more than LSU, 7 more than Florida State, etc.

And you didn't even include defense in your genius measurements, which is where they have historically shined... look at their current crops of defensive backs, linebackers, etc....

Terrible analysis

it took me a little while but i had to end it. who cares how many players your team has produced? how many started, how many played as a starter...thats what matters. why count centers and tackles and guards. nobody cares about those positions. when was the last time a nose tackle won the heisman trophy.

OK


Now I'm really bored

Who won the BCS Championship? Oppps...sorry it was to LSU wasn't it?

USC has 57 people that came out in the last 10 years, plus other sports...not all of them started, but they were all chosen for a reason...

Just face it...OHIO not much...hehe but its ok, I still luv you! Can't be a winner all the time...lol

i went back to the 60's because YOU said ohio state has put more players in the nfl than any other team in the nation.

See this would be much more fun, if we all were drinking and talking **** in the bar...LOL

Good Times :)

yeah, those guys like Orlando Pace sure don't matter a bit! that's why he was the first pick in the draft when he came out from Ohio State

I said who puts more guys in the NFL - that means currently, actively putting them in there, we aren't talking Notre Dame's four horseman here, and that is Ohio State. Since 2000, in this millenium, Ohio State puts more people in the NFL than anyone (tied with Miami). Bottom line.

There's really no use having a football discussion with someone who doesn't understand the importance of the defensive players or lineman though anyway

if they're current crop of linebackers and defensive backs are so good and they are so known for they're defense then they wouldn't be 0-9 against sec teams in bowl games. including they're most recent loss to lsu.

was that a terrible analysis or just the ugly truth.
