  • That rally today was a great look for OSU ..

  • Nothing will happen to him.  It's great to see the support he has at Ohio State.

    Well, he should actually have something happen to him:   he should be required to take the "Shut the Fuyuck Up when talking to the media if they ask questions about an ongoing legal investigation"  seminar.

    He should just have said:  "We are on to Cincinnati"  (or, in this case, Oregon State)

  • I only have 2 glaring questions that need to be asked.

    1) Why did Courtney Smith drop charges against Zach back in 2015? I mean she IS playing the victim now.

    2) Why did this wait until until the dawn of the college football season to surface? 

    Can anyone enlighten me?

  • So "he only lied to the media" is going to be the new "they were only selling trinkets".  Cool.

  • 4.5 game suspension is the over/under number...  If Mary Jo says "wait, we're not done yet" at the end of 14 days then you can pretty much figure your boy Urban is  phuckened..

    Hmmm, why do you suppose he got such a paltry raise after the 2015 season?

    I don't know if you are being obtuse, or just demonstrating your ignorance.  Either way it is not unexpected or surprising.

    But to enlighten you:   One:  the selling of the trinkets was/is a violation of NCAA rules....as is lying to the NCAA investigators.

    The other : lying to the media is violative of nothing, nowhere (10-12 lies per day coming out of you know where these days). 

    Certainly it should not have been....but all that it is or ever was is a PR gaffe.

    So...now you have been informed and can no longer plead ignorance.  Your level of obtuseness however, I don't know if I can cure that.

    For what reason?  Because he made a PR error?   If so then why would Nick Saban be keeping his job...or any other coach in this country. 

    Or, are you saying that he was obligated to take steps that the police and prosecutors refused to do?

    To paraphras Sherlock Holmes:  "He was not retained by the police to supply their deficiencies".

  • No, I'm saying that's the Vegas line. 4.5 games.. 😉

    OK.  Still.....4.5 games for what?   Making a PR gaffe?   Because that is what this comes down to.

    No, you don't follow what I was getting at. 

    That's ok though, it's partially the point I was making.

    Oh that was that stupid puny little minor bullsh*t crime of the century, the:

    "Tats for brats and trinkets for cash" almost as bad as Watergate or Iran contra. Yes guys were getting cheap tattoos for autographs and selling gold pants pins for a few hundred bucks (how ironic, bucks).

    It's always the storytelling and cover ups that get you! But the BUCKEYES made out alright with The Urban Renewal Project......so far.

    GO BUCKEYES, #1 baby!

    Fair enough.  It is not surprising that you do not make any sense.  But actually, I know perfectly well what you were getting at.  Its just that It was inane.

    Well..............who is it:  was it the North Carolina basketball team, or the football team where a bunch of them sold the Nike Jordan's they were all given.

    I guess that is the thing about the NCAA rules.   You are given something...it is yours to keep, but it is not yours to sell?

    EXCEPT.....and I heard this on the radio.....Scholarship athletes, as part of their scholarships  are give FREE textbooks for their classes....but you know what the are allowed to do?  They are, apparently, allowed to sell those textbooks back to the SCHOOL bookstore for cash that they can pocket at the end of the semester.

    And I think anyone here can tell you that the cost of all new textbooks is a lot more than even Jordan Nike's or a few trinkets.  But yet, they seem to be allowed to do that  (or else the school/NCAA the entire college world turns a blind eye to that)

    Almost flies in the face of all common sense, logic, normal behavior even on the edge of basic laws, definitions  and rules of gift giving itself. Sort of when is a gift not really a gift.

    gift

    n. the voluntary transfer of property (including money) to another person completely free of payment or strings while both the giver and the recipient are still alive. Large gifts are subject to the federal gift tax, and in somestates, to a state gift tax while both the giver and the recipient are still alive. Large gifts are subject to the federal gift tax, and in somestates, to a state gift tax. .

    But when you have the NCAA involved.....

  • Busy day

  • Urban Meyer to miss three games without pay. OK circus is over.....I hope.

  • Circus is not over. A half measure punishment was the worst thing they could have done.

    And people are already tearing apart the committees report.
