I remember it, because I saw it firsthand. Of course, I had some of AKAK's special alcoholic (and others?) mixture, so I could be mistaken. You were the purple midget, right?

I don't care if its CBRNE or NBC (didn't know that), if Tressel is thinking "explosive", then I'm thinking TSUN and the bowl are going to continue and even get better.

What could this team do if the offense really clicks and gets to strut its stuff?

Good for Bobby. I still think this was a pretty petty incident. He needs to be reminded that class is extremely important to tressel, and therefore he shoulda done the paperwork beforehand... but this is hardly a reason for him to be re-crucified by much of the buckeye nation.

Carpenter Defends Smith
By John Porentas

The flap over Troy Smith's non-NCAA infraction this summer has finally died down. With the Buckeyes in camp, the focus will now return to football, not the scandal sheet, but Smith is still facing team penalties imposed by OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel over the situation that arose over his participation in a charity summer camp. At least one Buckeye feels that Smith may have gotten a bit of a raw deal.

"I hope he doesn't punish him too bad because frankly, as a member of the team, I don't think he did anything wrong," said Buckeye linebacker Bobby Carpenter.

With the NCAA question resolved, the only question that remains for Smith in the whole situation is the issue of missing a class, something that is against team rules. But according to Carpenter, there is missing class, and there is missing class for a good reason, and the two should be handled differently.

"There's a lot of people who miss class in college, everyone knows that, anyone who has been through school.

"People miss class because they're hung over or doing whatever.

"He missed class because he went down to help somebody else, used his free time, went down there to help some kids and spread good-will, and he came back to a firestorm of media questions surrounded him, wondering if he should be suspended for another game," said Carpenter.

Carpenter was almost speechless in trying to describe his ire over the entire situation.

"I can't believe the NCAA actually has that rule. That might be the most bizarre rules I guess.

"It's really not conducive to the type of person they want to create. Everyone in the NCAA wants to talk about community service, doing things to give back to your community.

"There's only so-many hours in a day you can do that. Unless they can figure out a way to get a 25th hour in a day you're going to have to miss some things.

"If you're doing well in school I don't see what the problem is, and I know he did well with that class, so I don't see what the issue was with missing it."
