He didn't use "stupid" either. That wasn't the point.



No. Inflammatory remarks. Hey, fat [censored], go [censored] your mother! [censored] like that. Stuff one would say if they were trying to provoke another.

slant against? maybe its true, maybe its the reality. maybe everyone has their panties in such a wad around here they cant see the reality. whens the last time ohio state beat a team that was equal in talent? 2002? certainly not in the past 3 or more years, no way, i wont even entertain that discussion. maybe its time to pull of the scarlet glasses and take a look at reality.

mnc? multinational corporation? or do you mean a national championship? if so with a laughable loss to purdue and the usc game and prior showings and... not gonna happen.

Oh, I agree that there are issues... or at a minimum things that don't add up. The promise of talent v. production, I'm sure leaves a lot of people scratching heads. I honestly can't say that I have ever tried to scout, recruit or develop talent like this so I have to leave it to the coaches and the rest of you who have... but without a doubt, I do have a feeling that, for reasons that I likely don't understand, things have not come together as I would have expected. That said... for most of these kids, it's their first or second year getting this kind of playing time. I'll continue to keep my mouth shut and let the coaches do their thing... but I would be lying if I said that I don't hope for more from them next season. So, panties not bunched and scarlet glasses are on my desk. :wink:

Regarding the MNC... I'm not suggesting this year that there could or even should be a run. Frankly, I'll be happy for the team to let some of the pressure off and _play_ football. But I still wonder how Herbie will react when this team puts it together the way we hope / know they can.

Guess we'll see. I have more confidence in tOSU football than I do in Herbie... that's for sure.

and they received a vacation if they used words like fat.

I think you're taking this "fat" thing a lil too far. If these players can't tolerate being called "fat" than they have no business playing for The Ohio State University. You think Bollman is screaming at them during 2-a-days using compliments?

I'm not saying any of this makes Herbie calling them fat right. But if that is the worst thing they have to hear right now than life must sure be good for them. Anyone can call me anything they want if I am getting a full football scholarship to play for the Buckeyes as a 19-22 year old. These kids are getting the opportunity to make millions in the NFL while getting a free, good education. I doubt any of them will cry over someone calling them fat.

But, like I said, it doesn't make Herbie calling them fat right. I just think some of you are getting your panties in an overreactive bunch here. There's a lot more wrong in this world than an analyst calling a handful of athletes fat and lazy.

It's unprofessional. No one's saying they're crying over it. No one is saying the OL even gives a fuck. What we are saying is it was a cheap shot by someone that has a bully pulpit.

If the analyst was talking about Charlie Weis's waist, the size of Hillary's ankles, or deficit, it's OK then? All seem like discussions that should take place at the water cooler or men's urinals rather than in front of a national audience - bully pullpit yes. No one's crying here but Herbie if he doesn't get acceptable ratings. Done more for grandstanding than anything else. I'll still watch him, but if he gets a job sitting next to Mark May - I know where the off switch is.

Jesus Christ guys, it was unprofessional, unclassy, and uncalled for. But it's done and over with now, no one is crying over it, no one is losing their cool over it, I don't think the University, nor the football program, nor the coaching staff even gives a [censored] about it.

It's over with, Herbstreit will still co-host College Gameday this Saturday, he'll still have his radio show in Columbus, and he'll still be allowed in his home in Upper Arlington, just like the football team is still going to dress for the game this Saturday, and the coaching staff is still going to prepare the team to play New Mexico State.

What's done is done, it's time to get over it and move on with life.

All his comments degrading tOSU get this kind of response from the loyalists. I'm fucking tired of the bullshit. Mark May gets fucking railed on here for less...not that I'm defending that fuck head. I think just because Herbie went to tOSU doesn't give him the right to be a douchebag.

So, I'll continue to call him on his bullshit, but thanks for your concern.

In the past, I've always been a Herbstreit fan (probably shouldn't admit that), but I think he's gone too far this time. When someone is in the public eye, with a public platform, then tact and discretion should be observed. Why is Griese suspended for his taco comment, and Herbstreit free to call others "fat"? One could argue that both comments were prejudicial. I plan to skip College Game Day this week.

Most of what was said is true. You don't like it...I get that. I agreed that the fat/lazy bit is hyperbole, but the rest is a mighty fair assessment.

I think the bit about Pryor's lack of progression is highly suspect. More of a product of unrealistic expectations than reality.

His whole little rant was hyperbole, wich makes it not fair at all.

If the offense had gone out and laid an egg against the gophers, we might not be having this conversation, though.
