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

Prediction:

OSU's self-imposed punishment will be Gene Smith writing "I will not cheat" on the chalkboard 25 times. The NCAA will up it to 50.

Not facing any violations? Did he mean sanctions? Or are they just they are turning their back and looking away? You can't face something if it's behind you...

[Pasadena Blue]

why aren't more Buckfans calling for Gene Smith's head? Not because of these violations, because they are probably trivial.... but because his general suckitude over the last several years.

How can you have a douche like this steering the biggest athletic budget and program in the country?

Amazing.

In all honesty, I have no idea how he has survived. I don't know a fan personally who thinks the guy is worth keeping

[SeanB]

Gene Smith is such an imbecile that when he speaks it's considered a secondary violation.

[entropy]

40 violations a year.... Wow...

That is a fascinating statement.

40 violations a year.... Wow...

That is a fascinating statement.

And those are the ones we know of.

LOL!

[iam416]

Well done, Sean. I love it.

PB:

On OSU forums, the overwhelming sentiment is to get Smith the F out of town. I'd say his approval/disapproval/no opinion rating amongst OSU fans is roughly 2/94/4.

No suprise, really. The rest of the B10 knows exactly what's coming.

Woody Hayes has not been forgotten:

Three in the Top 10; flagship indeed.

Oh, but it's because all opponents are "afraid" of them; not because two of them were tossed out on their asses in humiliation and shame.

You're up, urban; do us proud.

[Pasadena Blue]

Who was the last Bucks coach to walk away and not get tossed?

[Jeff Buchanan]

I think you have to go back to Wes Fesler, who coached osu from 1947-1950, but I'm not even sure he didn't get fired. It doesn't say much in a bio I found on him about his transition to the Gopher's HC in 1950 after his stint with the bucks.

...... but it's pretty amazing that every osu head football coach since him and maybe even him/before him was run out of c-bus by an angry mob or upset osu administrators it would seem. Tough crowd. Enviable record, wouldn't you say?

[lineygoblue]

Well, they did bring back Woody, and let him "dot the I" or whatever that thing is they do in their on-field spelling bee. And I'm sure that Saint Jim will be brought back for a similar event before too long.

meyer is burning the recruiting trail.
