Meyer - for some odd reason, even though he's a good coach, I don't see him having the same kind of 'relationship' with Pryor that he had with Tebow.

Those two had the perfect relationship. Aggressive, confident coach paired with a humble, do-anything to please attitude, physically gifted QB.

I can't think of many (if any) other "relationships" like that in college sports. So, I don't what that has to do with whether UM would be good for tOSU.

Why is Urban Meyer getting so much play as a replacement coach up there?

If I were you guys, I wouldn't want a guy who has burnout related health reasons for stepping down as my next coach. You don't know how long he'd be there. Not to mention - someone already tried the spread option Florida/WVU style offense in the Big 10.....and it failed, miserably.

They (scUM) averaged about 35 points a game last year.. they just couldn't stop anybody with a roster full of DB's and a 3-3-5 defense in the Big10.

And stay the heezy away from Bo! I'll post myself outside his door with knives, sharp sticks, whatever! :biggrin:

As has been mentioned, Urban is an Ohio guy, his wife is an Ohio gal. When Urban stepped down, the rumor machine started putting two and two together. It has been long rumored that this was Tressel's last contract and he was going to retire after this contract is up (2014). So the original thought process was Urban sits for a few years and recharges his batteries and is the next Ohio St coach. (Or at least the lead candidate)

But this mess has moved up that timeline. The question is... did it move it up too soon for it to actually happen. (from both sides)

I think they need to get UM out of the booth, that's for sure. He's good at a lot of things, but commentary while other games are being played isn't one of them. I could tell he was chomping at the bit.

If he comes there, though, Smith better have a quick plan B in his hip pocket - Meyer is known to overwork himself to the point of exhaustion.

For the record, the more I hear Spielman talk about College Football as an analyst, the more I like the guy.

I saw him on ESPN talking about the JT situation:

"I'm a good friend of Jim Tressels, and if my son is ever good enough to play for Ohio State, I want him to play for Jim Tressel. I do believe it was his intention to protect the players."

Then, he followed it up with this:

"But he still lost sight of the contract and what he is supposed to do. If he can send an email to Sarniak or place a phone call to Sarniak, he can grab the emails, walk 10 feet, take a left, and hand them to the compliance office."

Bam. Tough love right there. That's an analyst right there - he summed up exactly how I feel bout the situation.

Exactly right.

Yet no one is grabbing pitchforks to run this guy out of town for his criticism of the situation. Interesting.....

Well, the Dispatch has another article.

NOTE - None of this information is new to tOSU or to the NCAA

Question for the Dispatch - who sold a 2008 national championship ring?

Or did you mean a 2008 Big Ten Championship ring, and your rush for the 'scoop' prevented adequate fact-checking and proof-reading to occur?

Or is it really a 2008 NC ring, and Gatorubet should be worried that it might have been a then-freshman who still has eligibility left? :tongue2:

Dispatch

Ohio State football: More memorabilia exchanged than previously disclosed

parlor owner are far more extensive than previously made public by OSU officials.

A letter sent by the U.S. Department of Justice on Dec. 7, which was obtained by The Dispatch today, show that suspected drug dealer Ed Rife bought or traded for tattoos 36 different football-related items since 2008.

However, only some of the transactions were considered violations by the NCAA, which suspended five players for the five games of the 2011 season for improper benefits and preferential treatment.

"There may be items in this letter that do not constitute NCAA violations," OSU spokesman Jim Lynch said this morning in explaining why all the items were not previously disclosed. "The NCAA had this exact list as they prepared their notice of allegations."

In the letter, the Justice Department said, "There is no allegation that any of these players were involved in or had knowledge of Mr. Rife's drug-trafficking activities."

On Monday, Ohio State made public the NCAA charges against coach Jim Tressel, who knew since last spring about his players selling memorabilia and getting deals on tattoos but failed to report the violations to his bosses or the NCAA.

The NCAA considers the case against the players closed unless new information is discovered. The case against Tressel, however, is ongoing.

...

One player gave Rife four passes to the 2010 Rose Bowl and his watch in exchange for a 2003 Tahoe, in which Rife purchased for $3,500.

Other memorabilia listed in the letter that was not mentioned in the NCAA's notice of allegations include a 2008 national championship ring; several game jerseys that were autographed; and pants worn during a Fiesta Bowl.

The financial transactions between Rife and the players total more than $14,000. The largest cash deal involved a 2008 championship ring he bought for $1,500.

In exchange for game-worn gloves, he gave the players free tattoos.

It sounds like this is "player G" (former player) stuff- as such, it makes sense that it wouldn't be initially listed (since it wouldn't impact current student athletes).

A) the mob is tired from chasing Herbie all the way to Memphis and...

B) the price of pitchforks and torches have tripled since we ran Herbie off.

Being in an angry mob isn't as easy or cheap as people think.
