I like the fact Kyle McCord is already building his excuse for losing to Michigan. You never tell your next opponent what is bothering you injury-wise - unless you have a motive.

I read a thread at Rivals that opines conduct such as we have seen with the Tattoo Five goes back as far as MC and was brought to osu by tressel when he came from YSU.

The speculation is that tressel is a lot like the Mafia Don, John Gotti (minus the directed murders, of course) ..... a Christian man (Gotti was a devout Catholic) attractive and personable in public and an absolute criminal behind the scenes. There are suggestions of a large group of tressel mafioso who have been with jt for 20 or more years, arranging for players to be paid in various ways.

The recent disclosure of Mr. Rife and the Tattoo parlor funneling money to players for memorabilia and TPs multiple automobiles along with the disclosure a few years back of a break in to an apartment where osu football players lived, and they then claimed that $3K in cash and a Gucci watch were stolen, are the tip of a huge underworld arrangement to pay tressel's players that has been on going since his YSU days.

The Feds may actually be investigating this, Rife is a key target and jt's allegation that he did not want to disclose a federal investigation as a reason he said nothing in April about the Tattoo Parlor deal points to that ..... as well as jt running scared that Rife was going to finger him in exchange for offers from the DA.

Going back to MoCee, you'll recall after he openly spoke of receiving benefits for playing, he was portrayed as crazy, started carrying weapons allegedly because he feared for his life, got caught up in all kinds of criminal activity and ultimately went to prison. Some are saying he was both threated with his life and set up by the tressel mafia to shut him up. Later, when he was welcomed back to osu to prepare for his NFL comeback, the speculation is that he was bought.

While this all sounds wild and has the potential for a terrific fictional thriller novel, my God, it sure makes sense.

Ah, the heady days of measured silence and zero speculation.

And there's only like 100s more just like it.

Man, I almost forgot about OSU's rampant cheating during the Tressel years. Almost.

lol JFC

Don Tressel and his trophies-for-tattoos money laundering operation. Gambino family shit right there.

Mike-

Just noticed your DM. When you win a playoff game they DO drop confetti and Coach gets to give a little speech. It's special. Really special. Hope you get to see it some day (not really).

Yer pal,
Dr. Strangelove

[Mike]

DM?

The first, you know, 100 pages of this thread are hilarious in view of Buchanan's new admonitions to never, ever, ever speculate or infer or apply rational thought to a set of facts.

What does rational thought have to do with anything being said in here about Harbaugh and sign stealing?

Rationality left this discussion long ago.

[iam416]

That schedule, DSL, is actually extremely manageable. CRD could maybe eke out 9 wins against that thing.
