Around the Big Ten

[hack]

I don't know Meyer's intent, but Hoke's approach is the right one.

I wonder how long Dirtonio sticks around. He's gotta know what's coming to him, and seems just classy enough to bail before the payback.

That's strike two for Narduzzi. He was the guy who bitched about OSU recruiting Pittman and the so-called "gentlemen's agreement.".

MSU us definitely on the shitlist. Unfortunately, OSU isn't good enough, yet, to dispense righteous retribution. Next time they play, though, watch out

[Dr. Strangelove]

Perhaps I'm missing something here...but it looks to me like they both have each other's hands in each others face masks...

I think our guy (Hankins) is just pushing the guy's facemask. Pretty clear the Sparty is sticking his fingers in between the bars

[Dr. Strangelove]

BTW, putting Gholston back in the game was shady as all hell. MSU said he just had the wind knocked out of him. Uhhhhh, bullshit. He was unconscious. For at least 30 seconds it seemed.

[iam416]

No doubt. But (a) it's more fun to run it up Gholston's ass to close the game and (b) if those dillholes want to risk injuring another dillhole well, Jimmy crack corn and I don't give a fuck.

Paging Mr. Buchanan...

What did you think of Will Gholston being put back into the game yesterday? Does getting knocked out cold for 30 seconds not mean that you should avoid physical contact for the rest of the day?

I'll comment on two aspects of this:

(1) From a medical perspective if a coach or trainer on the sideline saw that hit and the ensuing condition of Gholston, then examined the player, and then ignored the implications of that exam, he put the player (Gholston) at risk. I think someone saw it, understood the implications and had no stomach to stand up to Narduzi or Dantonio ..... who we all know have absolutely no concern for the safety of any player, their's or the opposing team's.

(2). I doubt there is a way the BigTen Office can hold Dantonio accountable for letting Gholston play. My view is that the press ought to be asking questions about why they can't. Given the current environment with regard to football head injuries (which Gholston clearly suffered in that game), it's grossly negligent of men in a position to do something about it, won't or can't.

Unconscious for 30 seconds? ``He's a pussy.''

[*JD*]

Yeah, he's out cold.

[The Oracle]

He's been shit all year, so no big loss if they sat him.

[Rocky Bleier]

No, no, no. According to that great NFL scout Brent Mussburger, Gholston has teams salivating over him.

Ha! That's a good one...a slimy coach at a slimy progam dispensing righteous anything.

I've been saying this since the mid-tressel period.

When it comes to osu football, talent keeps trying to re-write history to fit his blatantly inflated view of it.

Basically, osu is a dirty program run by dirty coaches and its been that way since tressel arrived in c-bus with his track record of shady dealings at Youngstown State. urban is nothing more that an extention of the culture tressel created.

[Hannibal]

I doubt that Urban is as dirty. I could be wrong, but I can't think of any of his players who have gotten in trouble for taking money. Tressel, on the other hand, had too many to count, going back at least to his star QB at Youngstown State. His first employer was hit with LOIC and his second employer was hit with FTM.

[iam416]

Actually, you can count them pretty easily. Well, my 5-year old son could, at least. Not sure about M fans.

The re-write history bit is hilariously ironic. Heh, but we've been down the path of the delusional M fan way too often.

As I'm sure you know by now, OSU is recognizing the 10th anniversary of the B10's only BCS title at the end of the 1st quarter of the M game. Coach Tressel will be there. It's been, what, 10 years since he was at an OSU loss to M? I suspect the tradition will continue in November.
