I believe that they signed on behalf of the entire board.

Here's a thoughtful analysis from a columnist in Louisville. Once you get past a couple of obligatory barbs, I find his opinion valid.

t's not that I'm humorless. Gee shoots from the lip all the time, and I'm in favor of a society that errs on the side of attempted humor.

I'd just like to see the highest-paid public university president in the nation show an appreciation for what public higher education is about, using his power to lift all boats rather than torpedo them.

Can't argue with either of these comments.

Excepting of course Butthead Fredo and Beavis Fredo. Their treachery and backstabbing in the Fredo Rebellion of 62-79 has earned them all the torpedoing possible for the rest of their wretched existence.

Out of curiosity, this was recorded at a closed door meeting? Does the employee who made the tape (and I'm assuming put it out there for the public) still have a [censored]ing job?

Oh man, that's a question for legal eagles.
Seems like this would be grounds for a large retaliation lawsuit...

Mark Packer went to Clemson because he didn't have the intellect to be admitted to his dad's (Billy Packer) alma mater, Wake Forest. He couldn't construct a proper sentence if his soul depended on it. He is basically a halfwit who has ridden daddy's coattails his entire career.

The, historically, most anti-Ohio State newspaper in the state just came out strongly in support of Gee! Says alot about what he is really doing between verbal gaffes.

He specifically commented about his ?respect and admiration? for the University of Wisconsin. In the recording, Gee made comments about former Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema, claiming that the Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez thought the coach was a ?thug.? Bielema is heading into his first season of coaching at the University of Arkansas, a Southeastern Conference school. Gee said in the email his comments about the coach were ?unfounded, inaccurate, and unfair.? ?Without question, Coach Bielema is a remarkably successful professional,? the statement said.

Coach Bielema is not remarkably successful - lost 3 rose bowls, lost to the person he said was engaged in criminal behavior, ...


With all the power granted me by tOSU, I hereby unapologize.

Notre Dame is an evil, arrogant and parasitic institution out to take everything and give nothing...........CHECK!

The SEC are--excepting Vanderbilt and Florida--a collection of overgrown junior colleges ..............CHECK!

Louisville is far from passing academic muster for a Big Ten invite.............CHECK!

Juggalo Junior College will get invited into the Big Ten over Ohio State's cold, dead body.............CHECK!

Brett Bienema is a treacherous, low-class, galactic douchebag who fucked over his Athletic Director and a fine university in UW............CHECK!

While I hate and regret (and blame Gee for) the p.r. shitstorm that this has caused, TRUTH HURTS MOTHER FUCKERS!

I really don't give a fuck what he said. At some point we have to realize that when you're building the Death Star, that what the people on Alderaan say just doesn't matter...



Yeah, I went Star Wars nerd on your asses. Had to look it up on wikiliminati but yeah...

retire on July 1, following the latest in a series of verbal gaffes that he said were meant as harmless jokes but ended up embarrassing the university.

The two-time Ohio State president will make his announcement this afternoon in an email to students, faculty and staff.
