Jim Tressel H.c. Of The I.c.?

Mr. T

Jimmy is a good man and just got caught up in a catch 22. If anyone had actually read up on the whole mess they would know that he was told by the FBI to be quite because they the FBI was still involved in the investigation. And yes he did lie about it and when he went to suspend the players for their involvement for trading awards for tattoos thehypocritical NCAA told him that he couldn't because they didn't want to lose money on the BCS game.

IMO the NCAA and the BCS committee are all corupt. And do a lot more to hurt college footballs integrity than JT ever did. I wish him well if he gets the job and hope we beat the hell out of his Colts whenever we play them.

And for all of you lowlife Michigan fans, we have Urban Meyer now so we will only improve. So get ready to receive another decade of getting your asses kicked again. I am suprised that any Michigan fan would cry you cheat when a Grand Jury found the Michigan boosters paying players and their families in that big Fab5 scandle. Lucky for you guys the bag man (key witness) ended up dead in a hotel room before he could actually take the stand.

MLD Woody

Wow, I say one thing you guys don't like and you just throw insults my way. Mighty big of you.

I'm not saying the NCAA rules are perfect, they are far from it, but rules are rules, some OSU players broke them, and Tressel purposely kept that hidden so he could keep them on the field.

and on Meyer, you say OSU will dominate Michigan for the next decade. Has Urban Meyer ever stayed anywhere for a decade?

Great college coach, NFL is a whole nother game ... he looks like the appliance guy at Sears ... don't know if NFL players will buy into that ...

Sears? I liked this one better.

How can you root for BOTH the Steelers and the Colts? Two favorite teams?

Zombo

Actually, I root for the Steelers, Browns, Patriots, Bengals, Packers, and soon to be Indy(if Tressell gets the job) for assorted reasons but that is way over the ablitlty of your elevator. Stick what you do best, believe in two football fantasies, the game is won in the trenches and defense wins championships so losing continues, while I can decide whom I root for or against. There is only one team I dislike and thats the Cowboys so you should root for them

Why not the Ravens too? You may as well complete the division..

MLD Woody

King Ghoolie, you're a horrible person, but a perfect OSU fan.

BrownsKidd

I'm not sure that Tressel is going to be a good fit. He was to conservative at Ohio State. Hope the Colts have a great kicker. Great coach and leader, but his conservative game plan will be hard to swallow for Colt's fans.

MLD Woody

He was very conservative. There were some games against Michigan when RRod was there that could have been a lot worse on the scoreboard for us

MLD Woody

He wiped his ass with Michigan. That's what the record shows. There are no asteriks for : almost, only if". Tressell owned Michigan.
Discussion over.

Jesus christ man, what is your problem? I just said Tressel could have beaten us by MORE a few times if we wasn't so conservative.

and there is a asterisk, you vacated the wins from the 2010 season...

but it's ok, I won;t say anything bad about OSU. I think if I said there was crime occasionally on campus you would flip out, insult me, and try to prove there is no crime....

This thread cracked me up. Woody your probably better off just letting this one die. You could solve world hunger and still get ragged on just for having that Michigan avatar on here. Rich I am curious as to how you can root for the Browns and the Steelers. I understand respecting the Steelers for what they've accomplished and how they run their organization (same for the Pats) but to actually be a fan kinda baffles me. I get the Bengals (Ohio team) and the Packers (successful, small town team, only community-owned team, ect.) and I can completely understand the hatred of the Cowboys (falsely, self-proclaimed America's team/ typical Texas ego). Now in all fairness, I'm an Oklahoma State fan but usually root for OU since their from Oklahoma and I prefer the Bedlam game at the end of the year to have as much riding on it as possible, but besides that I can't really think of a parallel within my own fandom to rooting for the Browns and Steelers. I can only assume you've either resided in both Cleveland and Pittsburgh or due to the proximity of the two cities, you see a lot of the Steelers and due to extended amounts of exposure have been sucked into rooting for them. Again I ask purely out of curiosity. I'm trying to figure out the thought process that lead to this conclusion. Thanks in advance.

he's a dickweed! 1st priority is to protect oh state and he was paid lots to do so. Rat on his players........no, higher learning and teaching them the right way. I'd cut off his ball(s)

so joe paterno must be dancing with the devil in your eyes.

bigbambo

Hell, I don't care where Joe is dancing, he's dead! But, JT is alive, here on earth, in a leadership position. Let's hold him to the highest standard and show everyone that the risk of being a cheat is not worth it.

miktoxic

he's a cheat? tried not ruining a bunch of young kid's college careers by not reporting that they sold some of their own property to get tattoos. oooh, what a cheat!

This. What happened at Ohio state is so over-blown. They can take away the national championship but they can't make them not have won it. He didn't cheat he made a poor decision. I expect you've made a few yourself.

bigbambo

If you don't report a violation and cover it up, IMO it is cheating. UNacceptable for a person making 3.5 mill a year! For that kinda of mula you should know and abide by the rules.

miktoxic

what a hater your are. why are you even on this board?

MLD Woody

^so everyone on this board needs to have the exact same opinion as you on every subject?

This thread cracked me up. Woody your probably better off just letting this one die. You could solve world hunger and still get ragged on just for having that Michigan avatar on here.

I think you're right Taco... what a sad world

Awh is that a sad michigan fan?

Why am I sad? People cheat, people lie, shit happens. That fact that I sated the truth about a situation does not mean I am sad that Michigan lost to OSU a lot.

On another note though, 422 days since OSU last beat Michigan

....ugh.... if you didn't understand why it was an advantage the first time I don't think you'll get it the second

You give OSU fans a bad name, which I'm fine with. You give Browns fans a bad name too though, and that's not cool.

Hey Walmart Wolverine, Michigan fans are a disgrace anywhere you go.

You may be a Browns fan but I will believe you are traitor to the state of Ohio.

MLD Woody

^ I am a traitor to Ohio because I chose to go to a college better than any in the state of Ohio? Why should I have to limit myself academically just to prove I am a real Browns fan/Ohioan?

Also, I don't believe you understand what Walmart Wolverine is. I know you guys love to insult me every chance you get because of the M in my avatar, but at least insult me correctly...
