M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[*JD*]

Careful, JD. Tread lightly. Those "whites only" days are the era of Michigan's greatest triumphs.

The other teams had the same idiotic, self-imposed restrictions so Michigan's championships are just as valid as any other era.

[lineygoblue]

Yep

[hack]

Ahhhh, 2006.

This is the year (along with the defeat of Michigan in the 2007 Rose by Vince Young), I believe that Lloyd decided to retire.

Chad Hene, with one arm and not his passing arm, nearly beat the cheating bucks in C-bus in a one v. two match-up. If not for the OOB hit by Sean Crable in that game, M probably wins it and goes on to win the MNC (at least that's my story and I'm sticking with it).

So, osu beats #2 M and goes on to play the ufm coached Gators with GM as co-defensive coordinator and gets embarrassed 41 -14. Are we talking about the same game there DSL? osu was stuffed, ineffective and for the 10th time fell to and SEC foe embarrassing the B10 once again.

Not only that, but for reasons beyond comprehension the MNC should have pitted M and osu against each other in a rematch if the LSU match-up last season was the benchmark for the BCS. Well, never mind. Oh, the shame.

There is no benchmark for the BCS. There is what happens when an SEC team is involved, and then there is whatever else happens. Legitimacy issues to be papered over by the playoff system, for a few years until the SEC games the system again.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Yep.

Sound logic, Jeff, but the one armed Henne game was in A2 in 2007 and the 2007 Rose was a Booty call from Petey's Spoiled Children. Vince Young was 2005.

But yes, F*** OSU, anyways.

Jerry Bouldin?

Good guess, but...no.

It's Steve Everitt, All-American Center for U of M back in the early or mid 90's, I believe. He went on to be an NFL All-Pro, I think for the Browns, but I'll have to look it up. One of my all-time favorite Wolverines, so tough that having his broken jaw wired shut didn't keep him off the U of M playing field!

[Rob F]

Here's a link to a couple of stories about Everitt (both articles, sad to say, are tainted by anti-Michigan comments by their Cleveland-based writers. Imagine that---being from Cleveland, of all places, and criticizing the origins of someone who came to Cleveland and made it a better place!):

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=steve%20everitt&source=web&cd=9&ved=0CIsBEBYwCA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theclevelandfan.com%2Fcleveland-browns%2F1-browns-archive%2F5341-blast-from-the-past-steve-everitt-you-can-take-the-player-out-of-cleveland-but&ei=s8y6T-P-EeOi2wWRqcXGCQ&usg=AFQjCNGUBl0kmOU3yuWZlxHrGfS9KNnH5g&cad=rja

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=steve%20everitt&source=web&cd=12&ved=0CJEBEBYwCw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clevelandmagazine.com%2FME2%2Fdirmod.asp%3Fsid%3DE73ABD6180B44874871A91F6BA5C249C%26nm%3DArts%2B%2526%2BEntertainemnt%26type%3DPublishing%26mod%3DPublications%253A%253AArticle%26mid%3D1578600D80804596A222593669321019%26tier%3D4%26id%3DE665A4AC56B446A0AEFCF4CAF63DB633&ei=s8y6T-P-EeOi2wWRqcXGCQ&usg=AFQjCNFGVonEcryuNeFAIFMRBT-kR-iwKQ&cad=rja

I remembered, correctly, about Everitt playing at U of M with that broken jaw, but I had forgotten about his guts and sheer determination in not letting a broken hand prevent him from snapping the ball. He figured that as long as he still had another good hand, no need to take a seat on the bench!

Also, not only a great Michigan Man, but also a talented artist.

[whodean]

And an excellent opinion of the 50th best state of the union.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Even light-hearted joshing is verboten in the humorless land of Michigan.

[Optimus Prime]

DSL, you and your compadre have taken a hellacious beating over the last few days. At this point, it would be best to simply apologize to the good Michigan folks that post here and like your program, consider yourself on probation.

Ohio State has several pending NCAA violations that could be classified as major or secondary, athletic director Gene Smith told the school's student newspaper.

According to the report in The Lantern on Wednesday, Smith said the athletic department has 12 pending NCAA violations in addition to the 46 self-reported secondary violations since May 31, 2011. The 46 secondary violations were released last week.

Smith told the newspaper that the pending violations "may turn out to be secondary. It may not." He then issued a statement on Thursday saying "Ohio State Athletics is not facing any major NCAA violations."

"There are several secondary violations being processed by our compliance office. These are similar to those released last week," Smith said in his statement. "Again, these are secondary in nature and consistent with our culture of self-reporting even the most minor and inadvertent violations.

"Again, to be clear, the Ohio State football program, its coaches and staff are not facing any violations."

The football program received a postseason ban for 2012 and scholarship losses for major violations committed by several players and former coach Jim Tressel.

"Our whole thing is if we have 10 (violations), I'd have a problem," Smith told The Lantern. "I mean, I really would, because people are going to make mistakes. And that means if I only have 10 (violations) out of 350 employees (and) 1,000 athletes -- something's not right."

According to Ohio State spokesman Dan Wallenberg, the number of pending violations is actually fewer than 12. The secondary violations released last week took place in 21 of the school's 36 varsity sports, including football. Buckeyes football coach Urban Meyer and Smith both admitted to committing secondary violations involving recruiting.

Smith told The Lantern that Ohio State, with the nation's largest athletic department, typically averages about 40 secondary violations per year.
