Seriously? We are struggling to complete 50% of our passes. In 1962 that was considered a great percentage. In 1962, you also had more hair.

I get a real kick out of playing straight man to your weird jokes. Perhaps, you could put me on retainer. My rates are very reasonable.

Here are a couple of articles and rankings. He went from 11 to 17. https://www.google.com/amp/www.sportingnews.com/amp/ncaa-...

Have you ever seen him play? or is your opinion solely based on the fact he did not come to OHIO and has so far only been the backup at one of the top programs in the nation? Lots of angry hate coming at kids, his numbers will speak for themselves when he's done playing at where ever he chooses. I'm willing to be he accomplishes a whole lot more than you accomplished in the sport.

Where?

Which leads back to the other arguement, that is, why would he ever come to Ohio at all if he has superior talent. First off, I think he'd be crazy to leave Ohio State for Ohio. If he ever did chose to leave OSU, he'd have opportunities to play at a lot of better programs. Like the Buckeyes or not, he's part of one of the most storied programs in all of college football. They contend for national titles, they play on national tv, they play in front of 100,000 fans at home, they are almost every team's biggest home game when OSU is on the road, they travel in style, etc. So he'd come to Ohio to play for what, a MAC Championship??? Whoopty-f'in-do. To play on ESPN3, to play on Tuesday nights, to play in front of 15,000-20,000 at home and about 4,000-5,000 actual on the road at some places, to play crappy non-conference schedules, and to bus all over the Midwest for road games? I mean come on. He'll challenge for the #1 spot next year at OSU and if he's beat out he's one injury away from behind the starter. At OHIO STATE. So leave OSU for OU based on all of that? No GD way...

But second, I get tired of talking about players from other schools we want to see at Ohio (see the Malik Zaire saga from last year) over the ones who are actually AT Ohio. Rourke is a Bobcat, Burrow is a Buckeye, and I don't give a damn about OSU players. There's millions of other so-called Ohio State fans out there who can do it, so let's them discuss them. I'll talk about Bobcats.

I thought the Jaaron Simmons thread in the hoops section had reached the inane stage; this one’s getting close. Amazing how two people who aren’t students at Ohio elicit such emotion and debate involving Ohio sports. I’d respond with who cares about either of these athletes except that would probably result in a 10 page thread. ;)

It’s like what a prior poster said-I’d rather focus my attention on the athletes that DO play for Ohio.

Nobody said you have to take his poster down. But he will never be a Bobcat, so we don't give a crap.

I just received word today from an insider at OSU that he will be transferring. OSU will be getting a commitment from Matt Baldwin (former 3-star recruit from Colorado State) and awaiting Emory Jones (5-star recruit). Word on the streets is that Burrows will wait to see who becomes Nebraska's head coach with a possibility of going to Texas if Frost is not hired. Doesn't seem like OU is in the running. But you never know. I believe he has one year remaining if he goes D1, two years remaining if he goes D2. My insider was not happy and stated a bunch of others think he is starting material minus hand injury. Haskins has surpassed him and taken his reps. [/QUOTE]he'd have two years assuming he graduates from OSU this year.

but more importantly ....

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you guys please stop!!!! You are showing your severe ignorance of skill and ability. Absolutely nothing against Rourke, just like Haskins beating out Joe is nothing against Joe. But the physical skill set and intangibles are not even close here.
