OSU QB Joe Burrow to LSU
Per ESPN Joe Burrow, former OSU quarterback will be transferring to LSU. I would think he's got a good shot at walking away with the job there. There's not much proven experience there, but then again that was true at OSU too, so who knows..

Crap, meant this for the board. Should have just gone to bed...
Better than Nebraska!
I'm guessing Urban didn't sign off on transferring to a conference opponent?
in their power spread offense.
He does look to have a pretty good arm (of which LSU surely won't avail themselves).
George Washington had to resort to executing soldiers to prevent it.
Danny Etling was nothing more than the beneficiary of LSU's utter inability to recruit quarterbacks. He'll be an NFL clipboard carrier and future head coach of a MAC team. Which isn't a bad life by any means!
LSU gets Bama and UGA in Baton Rouge this fall. It'd be great if Burrow could help pull an upset in one of those games. The SEC is better when there's more than two or three competitive teams - LSU being good is a huge part of that. Glad he chose LSU.
wanted more than Florida State would give. I think TAMU and those boosters are going to give him anything he wants (beyond his enormous contract). For a school that isn't considered like Texas (it's a very good school, but not public Ivy like), they have an alumni financial base that rivals almost any school in the country.
I think he's going to do well there. He's a very good football coach and an excellent recruiter. Give him a year to get his guys in there and I think they could be Bama's main challenger for the next few years. Although I have more faith in Coach O to get LSU back to 10 wins seasons than most.
Hey, I've got two of those three!
Almost there . . .
Yeah I don't think Fisher has a team that can compete in the West right now. I do think UGA's schedule has gone from 80% probability of 12-0 down to about 50% probability of 12-0 with UF hiring Mullen and LSU getting Burrow now. Bama and UGA both have easy rows to hoe, but UGA's has gotten a little more difficult.
Hope he goes on to beat up the Buckeyes in the Outback Bowl!
Can you imagine that fan base after being so pathetic in the last part of the last century and now with the somewhat success they've had a taste of again like in the Woody days? Nowhere near the Woody days but man are they going to implode right on Urban if he's still around. Or whoever the coaching staff is. You think that guy is lunatic nutjob now? You might be looking at Brian Kelley 2.0. Urbz for some reason doesn't have the blood rushing to his face though.
I have a plan when these days come. I'm going to pay four or five big dudes(black and white) to come to the shoe and we are going to do and say whatever we want while the asskicking commences on the field. The black guys will be thugs I see at the YMCA lifting weights all the time with arms as big as my torso and the white guys will be brick shitshouse construction snoose chewing skinhead bikers who take no shit from anyone. We won't be the idiots screaming on live television but I assure all you of you flower loving candycanes we will be letting everyone know in 200 foot radius in that stadium just exactly what is occurring all fucking afternoon long. How glorius it will be. I guarantee I at least leave that town with a black eye.
I love that this fantasy implies OSU is going like 9-3 this year. Oh daddy.
Hmm... did I need to put the /s at the end?
is 49-4 in the Big Ten since his return. 2 of those were by a FG although he's won some close ones as well.
He COULD go 2-3 in those games. But his career is defined by simply winning. Hurt QB? Next man up. 3rd string QB? Win national title. He gets great players, coaches them up, and then relies on those guys to make plays when he gets outcoached (which happens to everyone).
Very true, he just wins.
I think Urban gets outcoached (meaning out-schemed) moreso than any of the other top coaches, it's just that the level of talent on OSU and his ability to motivate players makes up for it. Which, is just as valid as any other method when it comes to winning.
