  1. WR Albert Dukes (official thread)

    He is charged with Lewd or lascivious battery, which is defined as: Florida Statutes 800.04 (4) LEWD OR LASCIVIOUS BATTERY.--A person who: (a) Engages in sexual activity with a person 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age. This is a Felony of the Second Degree...
  2. WR Albert Dukes (official thread)

    If this happened in Florida last spring, before the kid even came to Columbus, how does this make the program out of control? Did Tressel give him a schedule of workouts for the summer, and instructions to commit a sexually oriented offense against a minor? You guys are just feeding the...
  3. QB Troy Smith (2006 Heisman Trophy Winner)

    Thanks Fol, that's what I thought, too. The reason I asked was that if the NCAA doesn't already know about it, maybe it COULD have been hushed up. I get hammered for this opinion, but AG and JT continually do and say things that are stupid if they are culpable for some behavior violative...
  4. QB Troy Smith (2006 Heisman Trophy Winner)

    1. Ditto, Sloopy. 2. "Short of him moonlighting as a brain surgeon, please explain to me where a college kid of a modest background obtains the means for decoration like this. I would love to hear that." ....uhhhhh......That's tough...
  5. QB Troy Smith (2006 Heisman Trophy Winner)

    Question, Goofy: Did this come to light as the result of the NCAA investigation? And, notwithstanding the gag order, saying that it IS NOT related is a bad idea if it really IS related.
  6. Why does NONE of this surprise me!

    ...Or....We need to realize that while "this kind of thing goes on everywhere," in some places it is hidden, in others it is reported and discussed at press conferences. The latter method of dealing with these things is more painful, but it is the honest way.
  7. QB Troy Smith (2006 Heisman Trophy Winner)

    I believe that AG or JT said that this situation does not relate to the Mo thing. I would suspect that if they are trying to maintain the appearance of institutional control, they wouldn't lie at this juncture. They wouldn't lie because the truth is going to come out soon. Lying would harm...
  8. Interesting...BUT...Who Signs this Check

    Reminds me a little of Eddy Murphy in either Trading Places or Coming to America. "Merry New Year!!!!" Perhaps if the Buckeyes land more players from Liberia, the Ohio State-Michigan game would begin to be refered to as the "Grand Final Showdown Match".
  9. Academic All BIG 10: Great Job Buckeyes!!

    It looks like you gotta have a real major to qualify for this recognition. So much for the allegation that all Ohio State players all take basket weaving. 20% of the team carries a 3.0 GPA. That's impressive. Damn, I wish the world could know about this. I hope the NCAA mentions it...
  10. Athletic Director - Accountability

    That's what it takes to have the best athletic facilities in the nation. So, Ohio State is out in front, and the rest will follow. The debt is backed up with the ability to repay it. Ohio State has corporate sponsors, season ticket buyers, with the premiums they pay to gain the right to buy...
  11. Is three enough?

    So true, Sand. When you add the examples of Carroll and Saban, it is more understandable for ND to want a quick fix too. It's becoming downright commonplace. So, my next questions are these: With four (and maybe more) recent examples of coaches quickly turning around proud but troubled...
  12. Is three enough?

    Reflecting on Ty Willingham's firing. I'm just wondering if it is realistic to expect any coach to turn a program around in three years? I'm not sure, myself. I know Stoops and Tressel won NC's in their second years. But aren't they the extreme example? Secondarily, is it fair to look...
  13. Top Mid-majors in bowls

    Before there was a BCS, the "mid-majors" rarely, if ever, got to play in the major bowl games. The disparity between the haves and the have nots has always been there. I think you should have to play a major schedule to be treated like a major.
  14. If AG and JT are guilty...

    Now THERE'S a personal attack!!! :)
  15. If AG and JT are guilty...

    1. Fine. Absurd. You made your point. I'll try to flesh it out a little more for you. 2. It's "character", not "charecter". I suspect that in addition to not knowing how to spell it, you don't know how to judge it. 3. I think they have high character because they say and do things...
  16. If AG and JT are guilty...

    Right. Keeping your job as long as you can. Unless you 1) are planning on retiring anyway, or 2) can find work elsewhere in a heartbeat. If either of those things are true, keeping you "friggin" job as long as you can is not the top priority. It comes down to character. Both of them could...
  17. ESPNs Latest trio

    Right On, Steve, Right On!!!! Tack that one to the top, moderators. It's the truth.
  18. If AG and JT are guilty...

    Well, my original question, which I guess I didn't state clearly enough, was: why would AG and JT torture themselves over this? If they are guilty, denying it now will just make it worse later. AG could retire right now and then deny any involvement, and be just fine. So could JT. They can't...
  19. If AG and JT are guilty...

    ... of arranging money and grades for the star players, as ESPN wants so despirately to prove, why are they so stubbornly denying the allegations? AG is about ready to retire anyway. Why put himself through all of this if he's still going to be exposed and embarassed in the end? Why not just...
  20. A History of Searches at UM-what ESPN will not tell you

    Another difference, JC, is that the media doesn't make UM pay over and over for their embarassments.
