I can help. Here's what my Uncle is trying to say:

This is crazy. Oulette out of the woodwork last year as a walk-on true fresh RB starter. This year coach is putting him at Linebacker because he's hungry to play. Frank's had 12 recruiting classes in Athens I'd think he'd have it figured out by now. 10 classes since the first bowl appearance. 5 recruiting classes since the first bowl win. And this is where we are today.

So, basically you're saying that the program has come far enough that it's attracting walkons missed by other programs who have great attitude, and who are versatile enough to play multiple positions? I would agree with that. The walkons in the early years were simply not very good football players, but now they are, but they are also players with tremendous attitude. Another example would be Bo Hardy, who was a star at Capital, but who can't get on the field at Ohio at running back, so he is using his tremendous speed to help the team by playing special teams.

You're determined to miss other points of view and to not grasp a reasonably representative view of the entire course and standing of the program, L.C.

I'm not going to waste time responding when you won't consider that your point of view is not perfectly correct.

Simply repeating what he said was not a useful reply when what he said was unclear in the first place. I would agree that if you aren't going to give useful replies, there is no reason to reply at all. In the meantime I will wait for Wes to clarify what he was trying to say.

Monroe. I challenge you to put up a poll asking BAers to fall in behind the Monroe or L.C points of view.

Hmm . . . does this fit anyone else on this board? Is there a problem with your bathroom mirror?

Oh come on OCF, cut him a break. What inquiring minds want to know is who are you voting for city council and how are you voting on issue 3?

One day you are complaining that Irons isn't receiving enough touches. Now you are complaining that we are moving someone who is in front of him to another position because there's the possibility that said player might be better at that position.

What do you drink?

I don't think we want either of those debates on this forum, Alan. We get in enough trouble just arguing about football, which of course we know more about than any of the coaches, who look here often for guidance. Can't say the same for our current hippie-dippy mayor.

I agree, Crazy. This change is one that I would have thought Monroe would not only have supported, it's one he would have been excited about. An obvious consequence of this change is to move Irons up the depth chart. This is what I would expected from Monroe:
"At last! They realized that they have the next NFL star, and that he's better than AJ, so they have found another place for AJ! Buffalo better be ready for a heavy load of Irons, and we'll see what he can do."

In fact, I don't know what factors led them to try a position change. I just how it makes a stronger team.

Bcat, I don't care whether people agree with me. I do care whether they understand me. I try to present my views in an objective clear way, and I expect that people will consider my views. They may or may not end up believing the same things as I do, but that's fine. I don't expect them to.

Better yet, I've been waiting for a poll where BAers have to choose between two extremes: Monroe v. Bcat2. I'd put LC somewhere in between these two polar opposites.

Monroe, your freaking attitude has become the big waste of time on this board.

I love Monroe's passion, but I'm in the LC camp.

And geez peple, when in the world did us Ohio alumni turn into overly obsessed football fanatics demanding absolute perfection?? When did football at Ohio University become something more than something to watch between 1 and 4 on Saturdays at Peden before hitting Court Street? I have to be honest- I love Ohio football to death but I'm sure not losing any sleep due to OU's record against the MAC elite. I've got too much else more important in my life to worry about and you do too. We're Ohio University, not our little stepbretheren up Rt. 33 who literally obsess over everything Ohio State football. We're better than that. Or we at least used to be. Maybe not anymore........
