My mother taught me to stay away from losers, they will bring you down. She also told me that misery loves company. You can't think the way that you do, you will be possessive. You may question yourself, it will be bad when you try go from a inflatable to a human. Please believe that Ohio has something to offer and so do you. I mean it brother, every moment is pregnant with potential, you can become a man today, make the jump. Deflate gate can happen for you

Millions every year flock to hear Pastor's preach about how bad company corrupts good morals (not moral victories), they pay millions to here Steve Harvey talking about making the jump. I dare to say that there are many that protest the misuse of inflatables and you got all of this for free. So if it is stupid than I guess we are all lost. As if you could award anybody points, that YouTube post should be for yourself.

Dude is going to come to OHIO and this staff with it's non-history of 'building' quarterbacks (quarterback success)...instead of N. Carolina which has a good chance of having the top quarterback drafted (Trubisky) in this year's NFL draft?

Does that make sense?

I don't believe he is coming to be developed, he will be coming to play. Maybe the three people that have the info will post something. Zaire has the opportunity to play right away and make and impact and he fits our system perfectly.

Well, she obviously forgot to teach you the part about not telling lies. Or maybe she did but you just ignored that advice...

I see you are back from your snow removal deployment in Columbus. Did they let you watch a practice? I hope they did not pelt you with snow balls.

No, I instead went to their training table and let them read the private message you sent to me. You know, the one you can't be "man enough" to admit on here. You claim your dad taught you to be your own man??? HA HA!!! Boy did you let him down and fail in that attempt! That's downright comical and I hope for his sake he doesn't read this board and see that path you have taken. You're a child hiding behind a keyboard, and you've made it beyond clear. And P.S. - Zaire is TOO GOOD for Ohio! Let that eat at your delusional mind for the next month while I visit him in Arizona to help him search for his next destination. And the best part is there's no snow for me to shovel there in the part he's training in, you Jack Wagon.

Now you know both Zaire and Burrow and they are both too good for Ohio, you are a Stan gone wild, a star gazing impersonation of an Ohio fan. You will help Zaire search for his next destination, Lord help him if this was even possible, stop jocking college athletes and remember stars are up in the sky, OhioBobcat. My father told me that if I ever became a groupie, he would kick me out.

Super medi, I don't know. I was told that the tweet was about him. Someone said that we should know something definitive in a few weeks. Basham looked great in linebacker drills, he was fast and fluid and caught the ball with his hands. He proved the doubters and fake news people wrong. I can tell you this much, the people that provided the info have been dedicated to Phio football for a long time and they would never make something up.

Do we have to keep re-hashing this same argument? I would be very surprised if Zaire hasn't at least considered Ohio, but until he's willing to officially commit to a school, I'm not even sure he knows where he is going to end up. Why would he even consider Ohio? That's easy enough. I see two plausible reasons, and it only takes one. First, he might like Ohio's graduate school programs. Second, Ohio doesn't have a returning, entrenched starter.

What is Zaire looking for? Well, first and foremost, remember that he has one year left to play at the college level. If he wants to have any chance of playing at the second level, he will need to be the starter for that one year. Thus, in evaluating possible schools he needs to assess his chances of becoming the starter.

At this point, I believe....that he will eventually decide where he going to go, and I don't rule out the possibility that it might be Ohio. I'm just going to wait and see what happens.

Don't walk it back, allen.

It's not about considering the OHIO.

It's about playing on the field for the OHIO.



Seriously doubt that's going to happen though.

And while I'm totally making this up and it's not true at all and I have no OHIO sources at all, my inside info is that he'll play at Temple this coming season.

And yet, if he's wrong, and Zaire goes somewhere else, allen has no need to apologize for believing that Ohio is a good enough school that Zaire would have no reason not to come to Ohio. On the other hand, if allen is right, and Zaire enrolls, those in the "Ohio isn't good enough for Zaire" camp will have some explaining to do.

............the only logical explaination is that the majority of you who even believe this is a possibility consumed too much Athens county water. Gotta watch out for the boil alerts. Otherwise you get on a football forum and try to convince others a QB from ND wants to come here and play for the worst QB coach in the MAC

I am not walking it back, I was told the tweet was about him, he has not enrolled yet, so it is not a done deal. I am glad this was brought to the surface because we got a chance to see who our true fans are, the clowns saying he is too good for Ohio don't believe in Ohio, Big Ben went to Miami over Ohio State. Phillip Ely transferred to Toledo and Gunner Kiel almost transferred to the MAC. I hope Zaire is not influenced by the medi's or family members of certain football players that are scared he may take somone's position. Ohio is and has been a school that is a QB away from being great. A great QB could have given us two top 25 victories last year, both Tennessee and Western michigan were beatable.

Edit: "Phillip Ely transferred to Texas..." Pretty sure it was Toledo. Did not achieve All MAC status. Interesting that Toledo in 2015 beat two ranked teams yet lost to two unranked teams within the MAC.

Yes he got his platform and did not improve his accuracy, he still got a NFL tryout. I believe Zaire is a much better passer and runner. He has running back size and vision, so if he can come and win the position and play well. This isn't about me or proving me wrong, it is about the team. Please stop being narrow minded medi's, Zaire probably makes this team much better. I hope he focuses on what our coaches say and not what 10 of our woe is me fans say.
