"Our guy has got to be an all-league player," Isphording said. "The MAC Champ has generally had an all-league quarterback. That’s what we need. He’s got to fill that role.” Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

The offensive line and running back injuries have made it tough on quarterbacks the last couple years. That isn't to say Ohio's quarterbacks aren't at fault, but they didn't get the help they needed either.

Please don't cast your marginalized persona on our program. Well to find these kind of kids you have to know your turf. I will say it again, we do not recruit our own territory effectively. Sure you can point to all the Ohio kids on our roster. How many of those kids were scholarship out of the gate and not a walkon or a transfer? That's where my problem lies. Out of our initial 25 man recruiting class, we do not do a great job of hammering Ohio. Instead we rely on walk-ons who we give scholarships to time and time again. Not saying this is an awful strategy, but of our initial 25 how good do we truly do of striking gold versus striking out? And sure, some of you can say the talent in this state wasn't good enough for Ohio State, they only signed 9 kids in-state. That said, look at how many of those kids left Ohio for schools outside of the state or Cincinnati. At our level, we don't do that great of a job cleaning up Ohio. Back to Top L.C.

Ohio was hurt this year, I believe, by the rules (since rescinded) banning off-campus football camps. Ohio's football camps around the state are their best in-state recruiting tool. In 2016 instate recruits included K. Harris, Odom, Tupa, Dorsa, I. Motley, Conrad, Popp, Notestine, X. Motley, Cree, Noel, plus I think Amir Miller was an Ohio player by way of Prep School, so that would be 12 of 18 Freshmen from Ohio “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top C Money General User Member Since: 8/28/2010 Post Count: 3,420 Status: Offline     RE: Isphording    Posted: 3/22/2017 10:27:21 AM  L.C. wrote: Back in 2008 there were posters here that made the same claim, more broadly applied to all positions, that Ohio had no players that were as good as any backup player at OSU.

My lasting memory of that game comes from the fact that I listened to the game while in an OSU chat. The fans in the chat were hoping that OSU could find a way to hurt T3 to get him out of the game. When that actually happened, there was jubilation. But, then when Boo started playing fairly well, too, they started rooting for OSU to take him out, too.

That was by far the most appalling demonstration of "sportsmanship" I have ever seen from any fanbase. Not surprised at that attitude in the chat room. There was also a key "no call" on OSU's go-ahead TD. There at least two clips on the play that weren't called. I was in the stadium, but we were in such a bad spot that they also had a TV monitor right in front of us. They replayed that play several times so you could see each of the clips. Home cooking.

And the best running back on the field that day was wearing green and white. And even with Boo, were it not for the muffed punt in the 4th qtr when Ohio still was leading and about to get possession, we'd be citing that as Ohio's biggest win ever. BTW, my grandnephew was playing for OSU at the time and I was watching with my older brother, his grandpa, and Grandpa was plenty nervous as the game moved along with Ohio playing well. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top Mark Lembright '85 General User Member Since: 8/22/2010 Location: Highland Heights, OH Post Count: 2,447 Status: Offline     RE: Isphording    Posted: 3/22/2017 12:18:22 PM  Buckeye to Bobcat wrote: The day that Ohio State loses to an in-state will be the last time that school ever gets a payday in Columbus.

This is why Clark Kellogg will always be one of my favorite athletes. In 2013, when Ohio was playing Ohio State in hoops at Ohio State, Clark Kellogg, one of the greatest basketball players to come through the OSU program, wore OHIO gear to support his son Nick.
