That cuts both ways.

If the Hogs win while everyone plays, it'll be "Hogs win against distracted Buckeyes".

If the Hogs win and the players sit, it'll be "Hogs win against shorthanded Buckeyes".

One of the sad things about the whole tattoo-gate situation is that it taints The Game for everyone involved.

that's true. Ohio State really jacked this game up...

While Ohio State fans will still tune in in droves, I think the interest and support would be much greater if they just sat the suspended players. It will be really awkward cheering on a group of guys who are about to leave the program a bit hamstrung or must sit out the next 5 games.

I'm now hearing how Ohio State fans are not going to be turning out in droves. This whole thing is jacked up. Sad mess.

This whole Tatto-gate mess stinks! It stinks up the Buckeye football team and the Sugar Bowl.
I know ya'll have competed in many BCS bowl games, but this is our first. Now we have to listen to the ESPin talking heads bloviating about Tatoo-gate.

Will the players be suspended for all or part of the game? Will the players involved have their heads in the game?

I truly believe that we have a good chance of beating a storied, great Big 10 team. If we win, ESPin will will view our win as tainted. It sucks for both teams, especially ours!

*Rant over*

About 10 minutes before halftime of the Hawaii Bowl, ESPN stated "additional fallout in Columbus" concerning the suspensions. I thought, "Fuck, NOW what?!" When they got into the the start of halftime show, they regurgitate the same ol' news...absolutely nothing "new". Fuck them...

Ah, Christmas morning and I was able to avoid being hit by the falling clouds. For the suspended five, thank you all for the great memories I enjoyed the past few years from your efforts on the playing field. If the Sugar Bowl happens to be your swan song, make it a great one and good luck at the next level.

Maybe they figure it's now an NFL tryout for a few guys. Sigh.

I sure hope that they perform well and help their draft stock, but selfishly I also hope that they return to the Shoe, learn a lesson in humility and maybe go for another Big Ten championship. Then again this whole mess is about money...

Knock on wood, we don't have any players that have committed NCAA violations. That's on your players, who by association makes it also on your team, and then the fans.

I honestly feel for you guys. This sucks. I feel for Tressel as well. He's been placed in a no-win situation.

I, as a Hog fan must agree with WildHog though.
This taints the game for ALL involved, to include your program.
