Academic issues have put the availability of two Ohio University football players in doubt for the team's game against Troy in the New Orleans Bowl on Saturday in the Louisiana Superdome.
Quarterback Boo Jackson and defensive tackle Ernie Hodge, both seniors and starters, did not travel with the team yesterday.
A team spokesman said it might not be known until Friday whether Jackson and Hodge would complete their work in the classroom and be eligible to play.
This is the second time this season that Jackson has had problems off the field. Two weeks before the 11th game of the season, he was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion outside a restaurant and bar in Athens. No charges were filed, although a source said Jackson considered suing for assault.

boo jackson physical is able to play after his bar fight a couple of weeks ago, however did he make the grades to play?

Thanks. That just reduced my bet even though Troy has a terrible run defense.

i figured most would care to offset/minimize their bet by putting some vcash on troy. jackson is the starting qb and hodge is the best dl, maybe defensive player on the bobcats.

Looks like at least another year before Ohio's First & Finest can notch bowl win number one. I'm heartbroken.

was wondering if we'd see you start dancing on their grave ...

this could end up as one of the worst blow-outs tonight.

(Which is hilarious as the studio "experts" had this pegged as closest game of the day - but, you know, then they started to play).

this game is such a boring ass kicking that Robert Smith and Mark Neely have begun talking about seafood

Is this when we start doing the "Winning team, losing team" cheer???

If I learned anything in grad school while in Athens it was... ummm... what was it?

Oh, yeah... don't expect that team to ever win a meaningful game.


Good lord... they looked bad tonight.
