I'd say these penalties pretty well align with what we've been hearing in the endless rumor mill & what most feel they deserve (though I'd argue 3 year postseason ban is more appropriate given they tainted 3 seasons with their bullshit). We'll see what it ends up being.

The "lifetime ban" for Cheatin' Jim is kind of laughable because that feeb would never return to CFB anyway. He spent his last 3-4 years up there trying desperately to get back to the NFL. But, I guess they have to slap him with something. It would seal him as probably the dirtiest coach in CFB history. I'm unaware of any coaches receiving "lifetime bans." I can recall basketball slimeballs like Dave Bliss, Donnie Tyndall, Todd Bozeman, and Clem Haskins receiving LONG show cause penalties, but I don't think they were actually "lifetime" bans.

It's great for how history remembers this though. Their best coach since the fall of the Ottoman Empire will be banned from the sport.

We all have our favorites

Randy Gradishar day has always been important to me. But this year might give me a new favorite day in the countdown

If the recently reported 45 day time period holds to the letter, then whatever hammer there is falls on Hop Cassady Day. Fitting I suppose. But recall that Fullback Jamar Martin wore #39, and Tressel referred to him as “a HAMMER” (emphasis his). So if the passing of the sentence is delayed by one day, I might be ok with it

They're such dumb hitters. When the pitcher clearly lost his command in the 4th, fraley came to bat after he worked hard to strike out benson, then walk lux. He hasn't been throwing strikes Jake; use your head an have an eye. The pitcher was clearly exhausted, you got him on the ropes, make him pitch to you. This is where you can knock him out.

Of course, Jake does the dumb thing - swings at the first pitch , which was off the plate, and let's him off the hook. These guys do not have the requisite cognitive powers to do the right thing.

Fraley does this ALL the time

Bradford is a big dude.

That video his gf took of his childhood bedroom is pretty funny. It's like a shrine

Huh. Forgot about him.

Captain
William Roberts

While William (better known as Bill while at OSU) won no post season honors at Ohio State, the New York Giants selected him in the first round of the NFL draft and he vindicated that selection with a fine career. He is a great example of Buckeyes who deserve to be remembered even though the sports writers of the day didn't appreciate their contribution at the time.





2x All Big Ten
Captain
Team MVP
George Hasenohrl

Along with yesterday's DT from the 1972 goal line stands, George was a big part of that victory.
As for that 1972 game vs TTUN, here is a picture of George (screen cap from VHS) about to make the final tackle in his final game in Ohio Stadium.



George was another Buckeye who was taken from us far too soon. He died at the age of 51, just a couple of months before the 2002 team wrapped up their National Championship.
RIP

If The Game isn't going to have the same meaning as what it used to for the previous 100+ years, then I hope scUM is nuked so hard it would be as though they never existed at all.

That's about the only thing that will help make me not mourn the loss.

As always, Fuck em'
