At the risk of sounding like a dick about it...

...there's really nothing OSU can offer (other than downtime and an academically-light college experience) that a winning ND program doesn't provide a recruit more and better of. All they can really combat ND with is B1G tradition, which (1) ain't what it used to be (see: no NCs, few first-round NFL picks, Rutgers) and (2) doesn't mean anything to kids who grow up outside the center of the midwest. And in increasing numbers, the players we are pursuing do live outside of that area where people are by nature more likely to pee their pants over OSU and UM. So it must really suck that much more for Meyer when we slip into Ohio and take away a Jimmy Byrne. Couldn't happen to a nicer fella.
