I was going to say that.   Football is about the team and if you went to a decent D1 school that has any potential to win it all, you want to coach at your school.  You can make a new school your home (Bo at Michigan and not going to Texas A&M), but leaving your alma mater or not taking the opportunity to coach there is a bad sign.

Bummed for the B1G that Purdue is losing him.

Actually it is their official name. Plus it is better than just Ohio. I think that program has earned the respect especially 14 out of the last 15 years. Not respecting your rivals is part of the problem that the team had Saturday. The first words out of Urban's mouth was that he has nothing , but respect for UM. So many say he lacks class based on hatred of tOSU and not what urban says. Listen.  Hatred yes, but also respect. tOSU owns UM. That deserves respect. Do something about it on the field. Neg all you want, but make sure you are right before you let your emotions get the better of you instead of your knowledge.

Yes. It seems the “The” was intended to help establish the university as the leading institution of higher learning in the state when it was founded and has more recently been reasserted to help distinguish it from other uses of the acronym “OSU.” The Ohio State University Library website provides the following explanation:

“Why are we called "THE" Ohio State University"?

In 1986, a new University logo was introduced in the hopes of moving away from the "OSU" symbol, which had been used since 1977. The change from simply "OSU" was said to "reflect the national stature of the institution." University officials wanted the institution to be known as "The Ohio State University," 

So it is the official name. In your classes, have you taken basic research. It would help. You embarrass yourself and UM.

I respect my rivals by calling them Ohio State University, or OSU. Not O$U of Fuckeyes or Suckeyes or Columbitches, or domestic abuse enablers, or scum of the earth, or racist shitbags, or shills for the Meyer family, or a seedy cult just slightly less horrible than Penn State. I don't call them any of those things, so if I don't call them any of those things, why would I call them tOSU?

Michigan should offer him millions to be our OC with guarantee for a head coaching position once Harbaugh steps down

Nor is Alabama. Ah yes, we see it so often. The hot, successful head coach who self-demotes to an OC position under a guy who is known for offense.

Is he talking about academics? Do people seriously think that's what's driving most coaches? To coach FOOTBALL at a school with good academics?

Lol. Your friend thought Brohm would go from a HC to OC and you’re coming at me because I didn’t use “hot” before commodity? Ok. Besides, you read some of the crap on here? I swear some write at a 3rd grade level.

Commodity by itself is still useful or valuable thing. However, would have been better if Hot was added, for the point I was making. Oh SanDiego, I hope you can forgive me for this huge mistake.

So the guy wins one high profile game at home to a team that had been severely mediocre and now we need him to replace our OC staff? Yeah, no. I'm ok with people touting their big wins but you'll have to include your losses too.

You're right. I don't see why it matters losing to Eastern fucking Michigan @ home or the anemic offense of MSU and getting smoked by... Minnesota!? 

I'm saying just because someone beats OSU 49-20 doesn't mean they deserve a hall pass when they lose to the gophers 41-10.

Have you seen who is projected as the #1 overall draft pick. There are 3  or so more DL picked to go ahead of Gary in the draft too. D. Jones from tOSU wasn't a 5 star recruit, but he made the all big ten first team as well (development?). I expected that Gary, from all the hype would be the #1 overall, but he won't be.. I didn't hear his name much on Saturday in the big game either.
