Kyle, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but were you not profoundly disappointed?

I support Coach Tressel and I still would rather have no one else as coach, but I was truly disappointed. According to the facts presented to the public and his own words, he made a huge mistake. He often insists (and I agree) that integrity is the first priority, and he made a calculated error in judgment that violates what he stands for and what tOSU stands for.

When Coach Hayes made his "mistake," he got the death penalty; and, his mistake was an impulsive "crime of passion." Coach Tressel's mistake was premeditated and a major violation; and, the consequences (so far) for JT and the program are much less severe.

Don't get me wrong, I support Coach Tressel. He's human. We all make mistakes. But let's not rationalize what he did as no big deal.

While at the same time let's not act like the actions of 6 players and one football coach is going to tear down the entire University because it won't, at least not in this case.

And let's not also act like the people who continue to support JT as a coach despite the mistake and wish to forgive are Jim Jones wannabes.

Premeditated after the fact (as opposed to impulsive). Coach Tressel had plenty of time to seek counsel and report the violations. It was not an impulsive reaction.

I'm not defending the punching of an opposing player, just highlighting the difference between impulsive behavior (e.g., chair throwing) and premeditated behavior (e.g., lying to an investigator).

Certainly, that may be true. One would wonder why he'd take a two game suspension and a $250,000.00 hit for someone else. I mean, maybe you know people who would sit back and let themselves be vilified and penalized a quarter mil for something they did not do. I don't, but I guess it's possible.

More importantly, why does your baby momma hate breast feeding? Your freezer should have little bags of frozen breast milk in it like mine did. :lol:

I regret using the Coach Hayes illustration. Didn't help my argument. I was trying to vividly illustrate how Coach Tressel made a calculated decision as opposed to an impulsive reaction. I am not trying to equate the two coaches.

Here's my take: (1) Coach Tressel had ample time to properly report the violations and he should have done so. And, unless he's lying now, he agrees. (2) Yes, I am disappointed. JT is as well. And, if Coach is only disappointed because he got caught, then he's not the man I thought he was. (3) Coach Tressel experiences a level of pressure few of us can imagine. He made a forgivable mistake and has earned the right to continue to coach the Bucks; and, I hope he continues to do so.

Was Coach Hayes making calculated decisions between 1951 and 1955 when he provided extra benefits to his players as set out in the 1957 NCAA major infractions report
WHERES, the Council has found Ohio State University to have been in violation of Article III,
Section 4, of the Constitution in that the head football coach administered a private, emergency
aid fund which he utilized to loan or give miscellaneous sums of money to members of the
University's football squad during a five-year period (l95l-55), some of the transactions being
loans which were paid back and other being advances which were not returned

or was he acting on impulse? I don't understand why you are ignoring Woody's first mistake in your argument.
