Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.
Of course it leads faster if you stuffed your pads in the 80's, but that's beside the point...

That's what I've been thinking...I mean shit they could have all gotten together and said "Ladies, gents, we're going to go ahead and make this the tallest, fullest, richest turdburger with extra spooge on it that we can" and I don't think they could have done this badly.

At this point, I'm not sure that's even required anymore.
Things are looking exceedingly grim.
1. Head Coach resigned
2. Star QB quits team
3. Multiple players serving multiple game suspensions
4. Interim Head Coach who has no Head Coach experience
5. New conference alignment
6. Remaining team in disarray/disharmony/distraction?
And the 900 lb gorilla in the room:
7. Ongoing and ever-expanding NCAA investigation that includes a lot of very serious allegations that are looking more and more like LOIC - an investigation that could go on for much longer and go much deeper that what anyone has been expecting up to this point.
If the allegations about Pryor signing memorabilia for cash are true - and at this point it certainly seems credible given all we know - this is getting into USC territory. Add to all that, that the NCAA is trying to flex it's muscle and clean up its reputation and it all adds up to OSU being in deep, deep doodoo.
I'm going to take some rep hits for this, but this is my perspective on the situation.
It appears that there is something very rotten at the core of the OSU football program - or I should say was something rotten at the core of the OSU football program...
The relationship between Jim Tressel and Terrelle Pryor looks to me as if it has been dysfunctional from the beginning. A coach who perhaps bent his principles a little too far and a little too often in deference of an athlete with a once-in-a-lifetime potential - an athlete who has perhaps proven himself to be a selfish and immature kid without regard for his school, his teammates or the coach who bent over backwards to accommodate his talent.
And the hell of it is, is that the Pryor/Tressel relationship issues have not only prematurely ended Tressel's career, but have put Pryor's career in deep jeopardy as well. He doesn't have a natural position in the NFL, and all of these 'character issues' will have a real impact on his NFL opportunities.
It's a fucked up mess is what it is.
Hate it for y'all.

Can't bash Buckeye players...but can we blame Quitness for being T.P's mentor?

Oh, [Mark May]! Gene Smith would have had to know about that!

I reached that point a long time ago. Nothing bothers me anymore, I'm that disgusted with the whole thing.bassbuckeye07;1936415; said:

Game Day!!!
I guess I just hope that this is the "other" thing that uf was talking about. I guess we can only hope this doesn't keep going deeper and deeper. I just don't know what to think, I guess.
