    Hi Ken, thanks for posting on my bulletin board. Sorry that I just saw this tonight. I'm not always following everything on BR these days.

    In any case, I've always enjoyed our trips to Michigan State. I have found the fans to be quite welcoming and friendly to Penn Staters, and the stadium atmosphere to be outstanding, albeit a bit tough to get up to that nosebleed section - 7 ramps! - where they put the away game fans these days. I also think that MSU's campus is one of the prettiest in the Big Ten.

    In any case I guess since now we are in different divisions we won't play one another quite as often. So when we do, it will be more special. I never hide my garb anywhere in the Big Ten, and have never really had a problem. But I understand why you go out of your way at Ohio State to hide the fact that you're from Michigan.

    Best wishes!

    Thanks for the message Ken. I think running those types of plays would be great. I think it's good too because it's not likely that there would be injuries to the QB. I think throwing in a play like that each quarter would be great as well. It would keep the defense honest and make passing and running plays easier for us. I think Having Denard throwing to Gardner, and Gardner throwing back to Denard on a screen would almost get a TD every time since Denard is so fast and elusive.

    Michigan looks great on paper. They have a ton of great players. I think they will do great under Coach Hoke and Mattison, however the schedule they play this year is brutal. If they can pull out wins on their road games, (@Nebraska, Alabama in Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Purdue) then I think they will have a shot at another BCS bowl game and perhaps a chance at going to the Big Ten Championship game. I sure hope you're right about this being Michigan's year.

    I thought you might want to check out "The Top 25 Title Odds" story. I think you'll get a kick out of my picks to make the finals.

    Ken... I fully and totally understand you not wanting me to have your email address. If you want to keep in touch through B/R that is fine with me. But, if you ever want to get in touch with me on a more personal level, you can always email me at lane.chris16@yahoo.com. It is a strange time in the world right now so I won't be upset in any way, shape, or form if you would rather keep in touch through B/R. Hell...it surely is easy enough and my email alerts me any time I get any kind of message from B/R. I may be wrong, but I consider you smart,and even though you are a fan of "little brother", I consider you a friend as well. I wish all of the people at B/R were like you and the handful of friends I have at B/R. I have a couple Michigan pals, a Wisconsin buddy, you, and about a dozen Buckeye friends although they aren't very bright for the most part and DO NOT have my email address. Hahahaha. Anyway...you are now my brother whether you like it or not (I call all men, "brother"... it is a Christian thing). And on a couple personal notes... I'm 38 years old. I was born in Dayton, Ohio, just like friggin Brady Hoke, and I have lived in the Orlando, Florida area for around 30 years. My birthday is on February, 25th so I turn 39 then, In keeping with "Things about Chris"... I am married with 2 daughters (12 and 9), but I have been separated for 7 years. I live with my girlfriend, Wendy, and her 2 children. Wendy's boy has Down's syndrome and is 28. Wendy's daughter is a senior in high school and is 18. We honestly have 26 cats (no joke). We took in a couple pregnant strays and then 8 months later we went from 12 cats to 38 cats. Since we would never let someone kill our pets, we take between 1 and 4 cats to the "no kill" animal shelter every 2 to 4 weeks. We also have 2 rabbits as we are animal lovers but the cats were an accident of sorts that our laziness made things bad. Wendy and I are both plumbers that specialize in total home re-piping. But since we are in a depression of sorts, Wendy has taken a job doing housekeeping at a nearby hotel and I am doing very little part-time plumbing just to barely get by. We used to make $1200 to $2500 each weekly for a four day week, but now we are living week to week. Times have been very tough to say the least.

    So, now you know about my family and me. I'm just a sports freak and not too much of a weirdo. You told me about your job so I went a bit overboard and told you nearly everything about me and us. Oh... one last thing... we are Christians but we aren't Bible banging freaks. You never have to worry about me getting upset about any words you speak. I'm just a normal dude that believes in Christ but I don't attend church or practice any funky rituals. I'm a weirdo, but I'm normal at the same time. Email me through B/R or through my regular email anytime you wish. Your emails and your sports views will always be taken in pleasure. Take care, brother, I hope to hear from you before the last game of the Big Ten basketball season. See ya.

    Ken...although I didn't at the time, I should have detected some sarcasm in your writing, especially over the Pittman situation. I'm a Buckeye fan, so of course I was thrilled about getting Se'Von Pittman BUT...what is wrong inside that kid's head? At Ohio State, even before the Washington and Spence deals, Pittman may not have seen the field much before 2013. Even though he brings different things to the table than both Washington and Spence, and Ohio State is weak at DE, he still may have been 2nd on the depth chart. There is a new coach and many other intangibles to deal with at OSU. If he stays at MSU, he is an instant starter and has a legitimate shot at the Big Ten Defensive Freshman of the year award. I'm not just saying that, I believe that 100% and would have put him in the top 3 for that award preseason. He would have been able to play for Mark Dantonio, who to me, is THE most underrated coach in the nation by a far way. I don't think he will redshirt simply because of his athletic ability, but who knows with this coaching staff? If he stayed at MSU, he may have been a first round draft pick in 2014 (after 3 college years). I don't know what he saw in Ohio State but that kid may have made the biggest mistake in his life. Sure, I love having him in Columbus but really... Do the Bucks really NEED him? At Michigan State he is a future all Big Ten player and maybe even better. I'm not throwing condolences at you or trying to patronize you in ANY way. I just think the kid may have made a mistake and obviously you do, too.

    You are a Spartan. You want him to have a great career, but if he was a Spartan, you would care more about what he did with his life after CFB as a part of the Spartan Family. You guys really (pardon my language) took it in the rear on that deal, For the sake of Pittman himself, lets hope it all works out for him. I know you don't want him doing outstanding things in scarlet and gray but damn... a 4 year starter. Maybe a 3 year starter and high first round draft pick... Unreal!

    You know that I'm a cool dude and will tell you things straight but I actually feel sorry for your fans and coach Dantonio (I love that guy). He spent at least 3 years as a coach at OSU.

    Oh well. Let's talk about this more if and when you get the time. Take care, brother.

    Hey bud,,, For some reason I thought that you were a Michigan State fan, I now think you are a Michigan fan but really don't know. I'm sorry to bring up something that you wrote over 50 days ago but I checked my bulletin board from 50 days ago and it upset me a bit. I know you as a guy that I don't argue with much because I think that you are a pretty smart guy. However, you wrote something on my bulletin board from 50 days ago that I don't really understand. I've never been a big Urban Meyer fan although I am happy to have him in Columbus. Your Woody Hayes comments were out of control to say the least and you then made yourself look a bit worse. I don't know what you read, or think that you read but I think that you read something written by someone else and thought it was me.

    I NEVER said anything about Ohio State going undefeated over the next 7 years because of Meyer, If you remember back, I was the only Buckeye fan that wanted to give Luke Fickell a 3 year deal.

    Honestly, I am looking for title runs out of Ohio State in 2013 and 2014, but No team is as good as you were acting like I thought the Bucks were. As always, I wish you and your school the best of luck but I swear that you must have read someone else's comment and then wrote back to me. If I'm correct, there is no need to apologize, I just liked having talks with you here at B/R as most people here are idiots. I think of you as one of the good guys.
