According to what was Ohio State's schedule "much tougher" than 
UC's?  One RPI site I saw had UC #9 and OSU #17, Sagarin had it
UC #36 and OSU #27.  Sounds pretty close to me.

Yeah, OSU has killed them in the last two games haven't they?  That
is only a comment to say that UC's football team is not where I 
would like to see it, but they can play.

My point was that it is funny how these things work out when players 
go to one school over another, for whatever reason, and they do not
perform up to expectations.  Huggs has a proven track record of 
developing players into the best that they can be.  I do not know 
about other coaches, but I do follow former UC recruits to see how 
they do.  Mine was an observation more than a celebration over their 
misfortune.  You can take it however you want, but do not presume to 
know what I meant and then come down on me for it.  Mine was a shot 
at those that felt Huggs lost players that he should have gotten 
from the Cincy area, when maybe Huggs chose the "right" player for 
UC in the first place.
