Neither of them are going to be banned.

They are sufficiently outnumbered, so we shouldn't be intimidated ...

We don't need numbers. We have the truth!

This must have been written for DSL:

How pathetic is this comment taken from the buckeye extra.


Well....Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. OSU is missing Coach Tressel, when in reality it should have been Gene Smith GONE!!!!!! The NCAA should be fired they are getting just a tad out of control. They have accomplished what they set out to do.....Shut Down OSU with the help of Smith!

[Jeff Buchanan]

Reminds one of the rich and famous aboard the Titanic who simply refused to believe that their ship was going to sink and they were all going to die a watery, cold death.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Dumb comment but it's harder and harder to justify Smith keeping his job at this point.

An oldie but a goodie, I guess:

Poor old Art

May be time for a stroll down memory lane and Michigan's rogues gallery...heh

[Rocky Bleier]

I don't get a lot of schadefreude from the Schlichter story. He obviously has a major problem. He was a #1 draf choice who through his life away bcause he couldn't stop gambling.

[Pasadena Blue]

well these new charges are apparently outside of the scope of what prompted the NOA and the upcoming COI meeting. It will be interesting to see if the meeting gets postponed. Although I think Ohio is now worthy of a Loss of Institutional Control designation, as DSL notes I may be viewing this through Maize colored glasses.

[Rocky Bleier]

The t*su story is a clear case of loss of institutional control. How many "isolated incidents" can you have before it's clear there is a long-term pattern? What will it take to get these players kicked off the team?

[Tom W]

I don't understand why they post here in the first place. If it was an Ohio board and any one of us acted like they do here, we would have been banned in a heartbeat.

Pigs that like to wrestle in the mud, yet are totally oblivious to the harsh realities of "bacon"?

osu fans will immediately dismss CBS's Dennis Dodd but he fairly sums up the shit sandwich osu finds itself in.

He makes a good point about Meyer walking into that mess.

He may not be as eager as people think, with things only getting worse instead of better.

This was the final issue that was being investigated. I didn't know what it was, but I knew that OSU was still looking into something else. Apparently, the NCAA decision will be postponed a bit -- but this isn't anything new to the NCAA.

Bah, OSU sucks this season. Stillers offensive line is totally crippled. I guess I need to endure a bad year sooner or later. I've been living the charmed life for 10 years.

As for Urban Meyer, this won't affect his decisions. There a couple of things from "insiders" which I, personally, think are true:

(1) Urban Meyer very much wants the Ohio State job;
(2) UM didn't quit Florida for health reasons;
(3) The reasons UM quit are still germaine (namely, I've heard from Florida and OSU people that he was on the fast track to divorce)
(4) Ohio State will pay top dollar for their coach and assistants, but I think there's a decent chance Fickell is still around -- anyway, most importantly, the shitpile offensive assistants are gone

In the meantime, I get to eat a 5-7 season, and my 7 year old daughter has to experience, for the first time, a world in which M actually beats OSU.

And have I mentioned the Stillers suck? Bah.

College hoops is almost here!
