I have always been a Buckeye fan but truly became a diehard after attending football camp under Earl Bruce back in the early 80's. My first car was a gray 1980 Cutlass with scarlet interior called the Woodymobile (bench front seat, an entire generation of kids have no idea how great a bench front seat is!). I grew up in Cincinnati (which should actually be part of Kentucky) where there are plenty of Buckeye faithful that are typically overshadowed by hillbillies, catholic school devotees, and cute little bearcat fans with massive inferiority complexes. I now live outside of Hamilton county where you see the Buckeyes flags fly 365 days a year. My favorite Buckeyes moments: a 3-way tie between throwing with Art as a sophmore in high school, watching Cie Grant toss Dorsey to the ground like a rag doll, and yelling like a madman as Ted Ginn returned the opening kickoff as I watched from 20 rows up in the 2006 NC game. Worst Buckeye moments: about 30 minutes after the Ted Ginn moment and watching JT fall on the sword for Gee and Smith.

Don't understand the heavy use of Rossi and Royer split out in the slot running routes when we have a room full of high 4 and 5 stars in the wide receiver room. Why does Trayanum look like the only effective back against michigan but barely gets a sniff a month later, especially at the end when we could use a hammer to get 2-3 yards a pop to set up a better field goal opportunity?  Puzzling at best. I hate offseasons filled with missed opportunities.

.....and if we had a scholarship long snapper that wouldn't have happened? 

Just making an observation that a scholarship to a long snapper prior to being on campus is a little rare, especially considering our current numbers and the players we are still pursuing. Maybe use that scholarship on someone who can help us not need a fake punt to beat our rival.

Not sure I understand burning a schollie on a long snapper. Hasn't this always been a position where if we have a leftover scholarship the position is considered on a year by year basis? Unless something has changed we also currently have two kickers and a punter on scholarship. Guess Day is anticipating a few more departures.

Puzzling play calling and Stroud's refusal to run the ball has hamstrung this offense against top tier opponents. Three points in the second half. No idea what to say about the defense other than need better corner and tackle play.

It'll be interesting to see how the offense rebuilds with questionable depth at tackle and a new quarterback.
