Veni. Vidi. Vici.
Look, I think of Hooley like many others do, but I am surprised at the dislike of him when there is someone out there like Herbie, who actually negatively affects OSU by voting them down in the polls and having a track record of calling them out in the national media. Hooley is the least of OSU's worries.

Well, I heard someone say that the definition of a college football fan is someone who is in a constant search for disrespect. We get a chip on our shoulders about our Buckeyes as do other fans about their teams.
As for Herbie, has he ever explained his vote at the end of the year? I haven't heard anything. I did see how hard he seemed to be pulling for the Bucks this year. He predicted they would be 5-0 going into Nebraska (so much for that). I suspect that he felt that the Bucks win over Arkie was tainted because ineligible players had been used to get them to the Sugar Bowl, and that game was won with players who he thought should not have played. I think he thought that Tressel should have sat them whether the NCAA said it was ok to play them or not. He appears to have been disgusted by how that made the OSU program look. If so, he's entitled to that view. It's within the bounds of reason.
I'm not defending Bruce. Like I said, I've thrown things at the TV and been disgusted by things he's said.
But I do believe in proportion. He's a critic of a coach and a football program. I met Jim Tressel once for 10 seconds, and I've met a few dozen players over the years. I am not friends with any of them. In other words, I really love what these guys do, what they represent, and who they represent. They are my team, but I don't really know any of them.
Many years ago the Buckeyes would lose a game and I would be depressed for a week. My wife asked me, "Why do you let the outcome of a ball game, played by people you don't even know, affect your emotions?" Right there I determined to have some semblance of a perspective.
Bruce has not been disparaging my mother or my wife or my daughter or my son. I am not going to treat him like he has.
I agree he's been over the line and it's ok to call him on it. But resorting to murder accusations to describe what appears to be an accident is like bringing a MA Deuce to a fist fight. Let's not be what Bruce thinks we are.

I checked this one out personally. Got a friend who has "access". No record of a DUI or anything like that. So the natural reply to that is to conjure up conspiracy theories - which is always my cue to say goodbye and "Go Bucks".

cool story bro.....No really
I got access too - Hooley slipped the County Mountie a $20 so there would be no breathalyzer.

Sports radio is usually pretty bad. About the only person I can listen to in Western NY State without rolling my eyes is Scott Van Pelt on ESPN. He's pretty sharp.

Remember when dipshit said that Tressel's brother should be fired because he must have known about the horrible trinkets for tatoos scandal? I am fairly sure he is now saying the same thing about the entire PSU coaching staff? Did any of you Clevelanders hear him comment?

Wouldn't know. On radio, the only sports channel I listen to now is 92.3 The Fan. It has quickly become the unchallenged best radio for sports in NE Ohio. If anyone still listens to that shithole AM 850 WKNR, stop and listen to 92.3.
So I haven't heard him interviewed on 92.3 and if he were to actually have something written and in the Plain Dealer, well I wouldn't read it.
In summary, in my world the individual you are asking about does not exist.

This. 850 is filled with buckeye haters, and idiots. I don't understand why anyone would wanna listen to them. Turn on the fan, the animal house is great.

One of our own, Dustin Fox, is on there which is a good enough reason to listen.
