      But even before today's developments, I'd agree we were a bit overrated, though for a different reason: A totally unproven offensive line, with only one returning starter. The new guys may grow into something great. But as of right now, the situation is something to prove.

      Also note that it was a potentially toxic combination: A QB prone to injury, coupled with an O-Line that would be expected to make its share of rookie mistakes. That concern now appears to be moot...

      No kidding. And yet, I can't say this is a total surprise. Miller was being withheld from all contact -- just being nursed along -- less than two weeks before the opening game. Something wasn't right. Now I certainly never imagined a season-ending injury on an unrushed, uncontested throw. But I was getting concerned that Miller would be less than 100% at the beginning of the season, and might even miss some starts. Again, though, the way it actually played out was much worse...

      Fear not, Ohio Stadium will be full for Virginia Tech. But the dynamics and expectations are admittedly altered.

        That's utterly false. We have bluer pants now.

          Those are the Shamrock Series jerseys you guys will wear against Purdue in Indy.

          Under Armour also came out with the "new" home and away yesterday that just swapped logos.

          I think the alternate jerseys are actually pretty good. Certainly better than what Adidas rolled out for Michigan.

            The helmets are supposedly different too, with some sort of inlay.

            These were the best, IMHO. And this for a third jersey.

                I thought they were overrated due to te fact they're replacing virtually their entire O-Line and Secondary. If you took the roster without the OSU name, there's no way they're #5.

                      For your monitor's, and keyboard's sake, make sure you're not taking a drink when you read what I've written below:









                      I just heard on KFAN, a prediction that the Gophers would be in the National Championship game.




                      Now that you've stopped laughing, point and laugh at Justin Conzemius, who is a reoccurring guest on the KFAN morning show.
                      Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                          That makes it less funny....so I think he was dead serious.

                            I've often thought it was amusing that the word "facetious" can almost be synonymous with "full of ****", when you consider how many people pronounce the first two syllables in "facetious".

                            BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

                            At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                              I believe facetious is also the shortest word that has a-e-i-o-u in order... can sometimes even tack on -ly if you want the full monty.

                                Ah. You weren't saying overrated because of Braxton; you were saying overrated even with Braxton. Appreciate the clarification and we basically agree.

                                If you took the roster without the OSU name, there's no way they're #5.
                                Well, yeah. But there's a more fundamental problem here. Nobody's played any games yet; nobody's earned their ranking -- not just OSU. In a better world there wouldn't be any ratings at all until 3 or more games were played. But preseason rankings sell lots of publications, to say nothing of the ads in them. So, we're stuck with them. Still, it's well to remember that the source of these inflated claims is the media, not the coaches and players.


                                EDIT: On the bright side, the new playoff system appears to address this problem pretty well. The real rankings, as crafted by the selection committee, don't even start until October 28th. That should greatly reduce the impact of the preseason stuff. In other words, the inevitable banter may still irritate, but it's been rendered relatively harmless.
