I haven’t had much to write about …. not of interest lately. The Buckeyes, most likely rightly so, got snubbed by the NCAA, Big Ten basketball  was getting about as boring and predictable as Carr’s offense (RIP), and there wasn’t anything going on with college football. Until now, baby!

 Spring football is kicking off!! Pretty sure I’m going to head down to Columbus and take my little girl (not littlest) to the Spring Game. Maybe wife too … if she’s good. I digress.

Apaprently the Rich Rod era at Michigan has kicked off in high gear and the new energy has come as a surprise to some of the players. Word out the Free Press and MGoBlog is these guys are woofin’ at the end of practice learning the new no huddle schemes and that they’re nowhere near in the type of shape they’ll need to be to compete with this type of offense. Summer workouts ought to be interesting in Ann Arbor.

Do you think the Ann Arbor News series on possible academic issues within the athletic department is hurting things in Ann Arbor. Word is one professor in the independent studies department may have made things easier for football players. I haven’t read the article in it’s entirety but perhaps this was the Ann Arbor News’ ploy to help in the recruitment of Terrelle Pryor? Besides, we know all Michigan fans think Ohio State is the shadiest of all shadies … so if Terrelle is leaning towards Ohio State and U of M can fancy up their post Bill Martin shady maybe that can help even the score? I don’t know though, didn’t work on Mateen Cleaves and he even had the joy of Bill Martin escapades on a recruiting trip.

Terrelle is supposedly going to announce this week and all wisdom points to his signing with Ohio State. I think I am more excited about this for the fact that Richy Rod doesn’t get him than I am the Buckeyes snagging him.  If you want my general thoughts on why I think he goes with Ohio State here it is:

1) He never took another official visit. 2) It has come out that Ohio State is where he was going to sign on February 6th. 3) He did show up on Ohio State’s campus for a basketball game on February 24th and spent time with fellow Buckeye 2008 recruits and Jim Tressel. 4) He’s spent more time with the guys that have already signed to play there. 5) He could help lead them to a championship right now, not 2 or 3 years from now.

Again, just my thoughts from following the story closely. I could be wrong …. but I’d most certainly be surprised.
