I had no clue as a fan when Earle was there. But I always thought he was classy and a great Buckeye when I heard him speak. He had great enthusiasmfor Ohio State. RIP Earle
Not a huge shock, and not really a blow to the team, but RB Antonio Williams is transferring to UNC.
Good get for Fedora and Co in Chapel Hill though. Should be able to produce when he becomes eligible.

Yup, have to agree there. And good on him. I hope he goes somewhere and lights it up. Unless it’s Nebraska lol.
Take stick, poke bear, get mauled...again
In news that should be a surprise to no one, one of OSU's self-proclaimed super-fans was even more of a POS than usual, showing up to Earle Bruce's memorial ceremony late, in full costume and autographed a poster that was for ex coaches and players to sign for the Bruce family.

Interesting article on ranking the Big 10 qbs. I am surprised how low they project the Buckeyes qbs. Hopefully it should be a better year overall for quarterbacks in the Big 10 this year. Tanner Lee from Nebraska was the only Big 10 quarterback drafted this year and that wasn't until the 6th round. J T Barrett couldn't even get an undrafted free agent offer, only a try out offer.

JT Barrett signed a 3 year deal with the Saints. It wasn’t a tryout offer.

My bad. The last I heard was a tryout with the Colts. Good for him and I wish him luck.

Originally that was the plan, then before it ever happened, the Saints signed him.
Maybe they think he could be turned into a something other than a QB because a QB he is not.

Such as? I don't see his skill set translating to any other position

I’m assuming this is the Joe Burrow tweet? It’s just showing as a little box for me lol
To no one’s real surprise, Joe is leaving OSU.

lol, yes it is
That’s a bummer but can’t blame him. He would never see the field in his collegiate career (outside of cleanup).
I wonder if that is because they told him Haskins is the starter or because he graduated and a decision hadn't been made?
I wish him well wherever he goes as long as it's not Michigan.

strictly my opinion, but I say he'll end up at either Ohio U or Nebraska

Be sweet if he ended up at OU, but he has pro potential, so he should definitely look at a bigger program than OU.

I think that all 3 of them are an embarrassment to Ohio State and wish that they would never show up at another Ohio State game or event.
Just go away.......
There is no doubt, IMO, that Urban had already told Burrow that he wasn’t going to be the starter.
I bet he ends up at Florida. Seeing a lot of rumors saying it’s UF.
