Herbie apologized just now

Look, if someone called me out like that and is in that 10% of fans he claims ran him and fam out of town....I'm not apologizing. Be a man, stand by your words.

And the only reason why he apologized is because someone called him out for his comments on twitter just now.

This whole situation just sucks. It doesn't matter what happens now, the public image for tOSU and JT will solely be based on this. As a team, and as fans of the program, all we can do hope for the best and press on and continue winning. I will continue to support our program through all this.

As I will do too. This is where the real fans are separated from the fair weathers.

Mr SEC is, in my experience, a fair and even guy. He's not a bomb thrower or a reactionary. He generally gets things right in a fair an even-handed way.

Having said that, I have no idea if this is in any way an accurate assessment.

http://www.mrsec.com/2011/04/pearl-welcomes-tressel-into-same-boat/

....
Let?s compare the schools? situations as they prepare their defenses:

1. Tennessee?s violations were committed by a number of coaches in two different sports (with Pearl?s actions being the most serious). Ohio State?s violations were committed by one man in one sport ? Tressel.

Advantage: Ohio State

2. Tennessee had not gotten into trouble previously. Ohio State ? as the NCAA noted in its letter ? could be smacked as a repeat offender following violations in its football and basketball programs earlier this decade.

Advantage: Tennessee

3. Tennessee?s violations stemmed from recruiting efforts. Ohio State?s violations were tied to an attempt to keep ineligible players eligible.

Advantage: That depends on the NCAA?s point of view, though we see this as a push. Just because Tennessee didn?t land all of the players they were chasing doesn?t mean they should be forgiven for their attempts at cheating.

4. Pearl lied directly to NCAA investigators. Tressel lied via written document.

Advantage: Again, this is a matter of opinion. In our opinion, false information is false information. Push.

If Ohio State parts ways with Tressel and then makes it clear to the NCAA that he was the only person in the wrong, it?s likely that the Buckeyes will get off ? as a program ? a bit easier than the Volunteers.

More to the article, but that's the gist of it.

I cant imagine the crap that Herbie has to take from fans 24/7, I personally would have called a lot of people a lot worse. It is surprising though that he is actively arguing with people on twitter, thats not the brightest move...

As for JT :shake:
All he had to do was follow the damn rules...

tough beans. JT gets called all sorts of things, that doesn't give him the right to stoop to their level. That has never been a worthwhile creed to live by for kirk, at least not compared with Disney employment.

No, it really isn't. He has displayed a LONG history of antagonistic, dramatic behavior, always blaming everyone else for his shortcomings.

NOTE TO ALL - Let's deal with anything regarding Herbstreit over in his thread.

There's more than enough in this thread without cluttering it up with a bunch of junk about Herbstreit.

Thanks.
