He's a legend. Has been walking up and down Main and Liberty for years. All he will say is "excuse me, two quarters or 50 cents?" as he shakes his cup. He was there back when I was a student, and I saw him this fall still going strong.

Crutch is my favorite. The dude that walks around on one crutch and asks for money, that has lovingly become known (over the last 20 years) as just...Crutch... 

EDIT: Apparently, we are talking about the same guy. I think after seeing him for so many years, my brain has shut down to what he actually says when I see gim...

I sell insurance currently and it is hard because everyone seems to think that we make a ton of money off of you when in reality we hardly make anything off of a standard homeowners and auto policy. Hopefully, if you have a good agent, they are taking the time to explain what you are purchasing, because before I got into insurance, I had no idea what I was and was not covered for.

And someone else always has to chime in with this ridiculously stupid point, that somehow someone's wealthy or stature at work insulates them from hurt.

 

By having a laptop and a computer, we're all pretty much guaranteed to be in the top 1% of the world, as I bet all of us make at least $35k a year.

 

So by this logic, none of us should bitch or expect any type of sympathy or support from anyone when something bad like this happens, because, hell, we have enough money.

 

And it's this logic that shrugs off the deaths of soldiers, cops, and at this rate, teachers because, "they knew going in that this could happen."

 

You suffered something bad in your life? <Shrug> You knew going in it was possible and you make enough money.

Actually, it's not.

 

To argue that you don't feel for someone simply because they make more money than you and/or they knew going in that it was a possibility ignores the fact that over 99% of the rest of the world could look at you the same way.

 

And given the way the regulars bitch and moan on here as of late, it's a far cry from ridiculous.

I would never expect someone who makes less than $35k a year to feel sorry for me. In fact, I would never expect anyone to feel sorry for me. It’s a pointless exercise. And I certainly don’t feel sorry for Tim Drevno, he made a million dollars last year! He could go on a month long trip around the world with his whole family and still have $900k.

Our OL needs a LOT of work. I don't want our next OL coach to be the OC too. 

Beyond that, not many OCs coach the OL. Most of the ones considered elite are QB coaches. Most of the mediocre ones are too.

Further, it was always clear that Warinner was hired to be Drevno's replacement on the OL. He didn't come here to be an analyst. The only question was when he would take over.

Anyone who saw OSU's Warriner's O-line beat Bama and manhandle Oregon in OSU's championship run should be hopeful that maybe, just maybe Michigan's can improve. 

I could be confusing seasons, but is seemed like OSU's O-line wasn't that great to start that season but they made a huge transformation at the end of the year.

Yeah, that was the year we all assumed their offensive line would take a big step back because they lost four 5th year seniors and were starting mostly underclassmen (IIRC, although I'm sure BuckeyeJonRoss will correct me on that). They ended up plowing Alabama and winning a title. So yeah. That's the guy we have as an offensive analyst right now.

I’m hopeful for this reason. If I recall, and I’m sure the board will let me know if I’m not, that OSU team that beat Bama had an O-line that could do it all. They could zone block as well as run power and gap with equal aplomb. It didn’t hurt, of course, to have Cardale open things up over the top, but they had a varied run game and offense that could counter whatever the defense was trying to take away. OSU still does to an extent, I suppose, which is why they put up 40 a game. Fingers crossed for Warriner here.

Yes, and umbig11 has just said that the new staff roles apparently caused Drevno to want to resign. If that's the case, then good riddance. There obviously needed to be changes after last season and if he's not on board, then he can leave.
