You outright accused the police of being on the take if Carlos Hyde doesn't get a serious charge and arrested..Originally posted by Rob F View PostAnd (as long as [theoretically] your coach can talk the prosecutors office into downgrading an incident of hitting a girl from a charge of felonious assault to a charge of misdemeanor assault) sometimes it is much more serious for a 320 lb lineman to dent a car hood by rolling over it, than it is to hit a girl. Point system says so, and our ohio friends agree!
Do you need a definition for the word theoretically, DSL?

TBF, this is pretty murky water being waded into here.
Is a DUI "worse" on the crime scale than felony robbery? Hell, don't know.
I did find this site. Goes back to 2010 but its probably pretty accurate. The Fulmer Cup thing is supposed to be funny. I can't find anything objective in it at all. It's meant to be tongue in cheek.
There's a link on one of the comment posts that ranks the B10 teams by arrests. Iowa is far and away the worst football program for arrests. M and osu are essentially tied at 7 and 6 arrests respectively.
I believe the problem for osu is meyer and his connection to Hernandez at UF. Fair or not, that's what's allowing sports journalists and M fans to have a field day. The osu nation has to defend against the claims and stories no matter how utterly ridiculous they might be ..... and I think a good portion of them are.
Another problem stalking osu is that when they have an arrest in the news, it's always spectacular. I mean hyde allegedly hitting a woman in a bar is spectacular as far as alleged crimes are concerned. Then we have Clarett, a thug if there ever was one, and I doubt truthful osu fans would deny that. tressel a confirmed liar, beloved though he may be by the osu nation .... That's a perception bonanza for any osu hater. pryor? Meh as a criminal. He is just dumb as a box of rocks. Nonetheless, the faces of these ohio boys, spectacular as they all are, represent osu.
Does any CFB fan know who Darryl Stonum even is? I doubt it but he was a serious and dangerous drunk driver. The osu criminals and liars? Different story all together and it this reality that the osu nation has to deal with. Too bad. I love it.
The facts DO NOT matter here. It's perceptions. Deal with it.Last edited by Jeff Buchanan; July 28, 2013, 06:06 PM.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

I don't know about the rest of the forum, but methinks "hitting girls" and "running from the cops" are a bit more serious than any of the other categories for which either school accumulated points. Hitting girls is fine with you, huh, DSL?
Strange that you seem to be focused on just the Hyde incident of 2013, Strange.

You make some fair points, Jeff, in that our arrests have been of the much more "spectacular" variety. And we hired a "celebrity coach". One that's made his share of enemies and has a fair number of people outside the B1G hoping that he fails miserably. We are, and have always been, a bigger target than Michigan in the eyes of the media.
As long as we're acknowledging that OSU's problems are as much perception as fact, then I'm fine with everything you said.
You yourself admit that Iowa's had far more arrests than us...yet the national media ignores that. Iowa skates by without anyone calling it a renegade program or that Ferentz is an outlaw coach who recruits thugs. No one's interested in an Iowa scandal.
