"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

If the Bearcats win this year its not like Ohio state is ever going to schedule them again anyways. Well unless Tuberville gets a DUI, gets fired, the football team has basketball players playing filling in and a spot on ohio states schedule just happens to open up
0-2 in big games in that time.
The defense's fault, but simply saying 24-0 in the regular season doesn't paint the whole picture when you lose the Big 10 championship and then lose to Clemson in the BCS bowl.
Braxton is a huge loss, one I do not think OSU will be able to recover from this season, but it will be refreshing to watch a pocket passer this year.

UC fans have one hell of a little brother complex.

Hopefully it will be more refreshing that when we were watching Joe Bauerman and Todd Boeckman.
There is certainly enough talent for this team to still be very good. However the defense wasn't good last year and while improvement is expected, I don't think we are going to see the 84 Bears out there. The whole offensive line is being replaced and is now protecting a passer that isn't going to be able to run away from their mistakes. Our best offensive player from last year is gone (Hyde) and his replacement is also hurt and hasn't practiced in 2 weeks. There is a lot of unknown running back depth, but it is that unknows.
Braxton Miller was about the only thing on either side of the ball that was known and could be relied on. This could all come together great and the team could jell and JT could be the real deal and we will be right there competing for trophies. Or it could be a freaking disaster with losses to one of two of the nonconference teams and Penn St, Michigan State and Michigan. I don't think it will get to that point because Urban is one of the best coaches in college football, but I don't think its unrealistic either.
It is official now. The MRI results have come back and he is out for the season
Give you a break on what? I said Braxton is a huge loss.
I was simply saying 24-0 does not paint the whole picture. Also, nitpicking, but he was not the QB for all 24 of those games, Guiton started 2 games last year, and played most of the game against SDSU. In fact Kenny Guiton came in against Purdue last year to lead OSU to an overtime victory. Braxton was a fantastic player, this year is going to be really tough without him, but he was certainly not without faults.
