Ohio States program will never be mediocre its not driven by the coaches. Ohio consistantly produces the best highschool football in the country which feed The Ohio State University.
YOU MUST be smoking dope!!! ohio football is NO better than pennsylvania and mississippi. NOT as good as florida, california, texas, alabama, louisiana.

i just read through the osu roster. about 33 of the 100 man is from OUT of state. at a quick glance that i could pick out about HALF of the starting defense is from out of state. even the starting rb is NOT home grown.

The only state that could possibly compete with Ohio would be Texas for sending out top college players. I cannot help that The Ohio State University is a top program fueled by top highschool programs. Thats just how it is folks.

Its hard to disagree that The Ohio State University is the preeminent football school in the country.

What they do on a regular basis is win, win and show up to all the big dances. Nobody in college football is more consistant at winning than The Ohio State University. This was a rebuilding year and by accident they end up in the National Championship. They dont rebuild, they reload, and like it or not they are the absolute nuts in college football. Theyll be back again next year, and with any kind of officiating they will win like they should have this year. When you outplay someone and lose by 14 its boarderline criminal.

Contrary to what you believe Danzig, what Bid says is pretty much the way it is.

i don't find it hard to disagree at all.

because bid says so doesn't mean much. i'm a fan of lsu, you don't see me on here trying to say it's THE preeminent school. being a fan doesn't automatically mean you become blind to reality. well, for most people at least.

This is as ridiculous as the Bid. Football is very big in Ohio...huge. To call Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama high school football as good as ohio it is you who is smoking dope. It is size of the state. Ohio is not as good as TExas, Cal and florida...that is it. Pennsylvania can complete but isn't as good. Every school get players from out out of state...it isn't rare. It is not a big deal they have starters from other states...all the schools do it. Ohio produces football players...period.

only reason for better high school football in the south is the warmth.

The warm weather is all I can think of, they are able to work outside on their game year round, we have snow in Michigan and Ohio. Pretty obvious that most of the best athletes are black, so the south must have more black people to get athletes from.

Speaking as a black man from the South, before you all think he was being racially insensitive or worse, stupid, realize that he's actually right. Sort of. For any number of reasons that can be debated and dissected all night long, the fact of the matter is that high majority of skill position players (except quarterbacks) are black. The same goes for basketball. I don't think he's wrong in saying that. I also agree that football is more of a year round game in the South because of the weather factor. I wouldn't agree that there are more black people in the South to get athletes from though. I would say that it's just more likely that you would find Southern athletes that play football than you will in the North.

Year in and year out Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi produce as many, if not more, top prep players than Ohio. Look it up.
