Random thought of the day


Think Ohio State will be facing Mark Sanchez again next year? And I'm not talking about a potential rematch in the Rose Bowl yet this season.

My initial thoughts were that regardless of the level of success and/or the success of the Trojans that Sanchez would return. I base that almost entirely on the example set by Matt Leinart. Leinart could have come out early and could have been the top pick in the draft. I guess 'BMOC' status in Los Angeles is enough to pass up $50 mill.

Consider also that Matt Leinart, a high first round draft pick, can't even get off the bench for the Cardinals. So when Mark Sanchez calls up Leinart for advice, what do you think he would say?

"Well Mark, you can stay in school for another year and slam ass all over Orange County, or you can go pro and ride the pine."


Underclassmen considering whether or not to go pro have something else to take into account now. There is a push towards a rookie salary scale in the NFL. If you are a potential Top Ten pick, a salary scale could mean a massive pay cut.

Frankly I would rather not face that douchebag again. Go get paid Mark.
