That could not be any farther from the truth. Your description of the Hooley article (if it is the one I read) grossly misrepresents both the tone and content of the story, and of the content in the article linked in that story.

IMO, of course.

I see it as sort of spot-on describing the attitudes of many followers of Coach Tressel. Nothing in it is anything different than was contained in the main thread on Coach Tressel's suspension, or in the "I stand with" thread.

If anything, Hooley makes Jack come off as your average fan, not knowing the facts in any great detail, but instead relying on his assessment of Coach Tressel as a great teacher of young men, and an honest man. Reporting that view is hardly negative, nor is calling The Golden Bear the "Greatest Golfer who ever lived", or saying that Jack does not get well deserved thanks for essentially creating Dublin (as a populated suburb via his decision to put Muirfield Village there). None of that is "ripping".

He (Hooley) may be a tool, but that article is so tepid as an attack vehicle that any non-Buckeye fan would see it as more of a defense, than an attack, of Tress. The only thing of concern would be Jack's belief that others at tOSU knew about tatgate, and that Tress was taking the hit for the team, as it were. Many wonder it that is not so here. Pointing out that - if true - that would make Tress not truthful (since Tress has signed on in the facts statement of the letter to the NCAA that nobody else but he knew) - is hardly "ripping".

I don't know that I'd go THAT far, but I too clicked over there ready to fire up my own Twitter account that I don't have just to pile on this toolshed for dissing Jack Nicklaus for no reason...what I found wasn't that. On his website itself he almost apologizes for mentioning him and heaps a bunch of praise on him...now, suggesting it might not be genuine (with Hooley the response might be "duh") is valid, but it wasn't "Attack the Jack". At least, not to me, and I was going to be pretty PO'd if it was, so I was really looking. It was more of an attempt to play Jack as well meaning but not knowing the "real truth" that BHOOLZ does about Jim the Antichrist, which is more or less what he's been doing for a month anyway.

So, you go off the deep end whining about an article but refuse to link to that article. Then why even fucking bring it up in the first place?

Well, I said "any non-Buckeye fan". :biggrin:

But yeah, I too went in looking for an attack on Jack..and I love Jack. (He was my dad's favorite golfer, and I have many happy memories watching golf with my dad and cheering "The Golden Bear" in his duels with Watson and Trevino).

As I read it, it felt like damage control - like he was trying to "walk back" and make up with Buckeye Nation for his prior attacks.

He needs to go ask Herbie how that's gonna work out.. :lol:

Look, I don't know who Hooley is. He could be Alan for his similar accomplishments, so far as I know.

However. when a baboon crawls up a tree, one is certain to see his ugly side. Of course, he doesn't attack Jack in his FoxSports Ohio article. Few things would be more stupid in Columbus. So, he casts lots of aspersions about how hard it is to imagine that Jack knows what he is talking about. As a serious donor to Ohio State, Jack may well know more than he lets on. Hooley has no idea.

So, what I find strange is that people read crap by an obvious hack and sensationalist, when the best he can write is that he has trouble imagining that Jack has an informed opinion.

Jack is wrong, in Hooley's eyes, because he supports Tressel based on supposedly unfounded opinions.

Yet, people are supposed to read Hooley's admittedly unfounded opinions about Jack and how well informed Jack is about Tressel, simply because Hooley is opposed to Tressel.

Journalism, Hooley! Do you speak it?
