  The Big Lead has a post on how Urban Meyer has basically pissed on the unwritten, gentlemenly B1G rules on recruiting, saying the Meyer used “illegal” recruiting tactics.  Apparently what Bielema thinks is “illegal” is going after a recruit who is already informally committed to another university.  In this past signing period, Meyer got [...]

Is This A Sign?

I received an email for Ohio State this morning and one sentence in particular caught my eye.  More because it’s in the message than what the sentence actually says.
