RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

[Thump]

The Clarett story is now one of the Yahoo web page "Top Stories."

Someone once said, It's not what happens to us, it's what we do after that makes the difference!" Or something like that.

Well, it's probably a good thing that Mike Tirico isn't doing the Fiesta Bowl, lest that be all we hear throughout the entire broadcast and devote a 10-minute diatribe block, during actual gametime no less, like he did about Troy Smith during last season's Alamo Bowl.

For those who said earlier maybe the media will finally separate Clarett and OSU, no way...the media will now vilify the institution.

Well, I guess there will be no more defenders that say Clarett is just young and immature, but he's no criminal. Well, yes, if the report is true, He's a Fucking Criminal.

The ESPN screen ticker now says 'Former Ohio State RB Maurice Clarett'.

I hope they add.. "that we, ESPN, fully supported and broadcasted as an upstanding athlete/citizen and who helped our ratings improve significantly .. without regard to anyone elses harm"

Do you know what 'Jim Tressels' BP username is? I want to rep him. :)

This is sad. There is nothing I hate more than watching people shoot themselves in the foot, especially when things that would make them happy and successful are so easily within their reach. :(

immense irony...
could have been running for a national championship today
but instead running from a prison cell

had the world by the ass
and now the world wants his ass

I hope they spend lots of time discussing it. IIRC Tirico went on and on last year because the game was out of reach so early he had nothing else to talk about.

I just hope someone finally realizes this is the resource the NYTimes and ESPN laid their hopes on.

Hypothetically, do you think MoC was the perp in the Hawk robbery?

 

[Smooth Olaf]

Damn, what a fool. After we beat Miami, I immediately purchased Clarett's Fiesta Bowl jersey, and I wore it with pride for about six months.

I donated it to Goodwill a year and a half ago.

At a loss...I assume

Smith, good points. I merged this mess with the rest of the cesspool of MoC talk.

Anyone know anything about the owner of the Opium Club?

I certainly recall another bar owner who appeared to have an axe to grind with tOSU in the whole Lydell Ross silliness of a few years back.

It just boggles the mind to think that Clarett is THAT boneheaded.

Go back and read this entire saga...is it really THAT surprising? MoC and normal logic have never met...
