Yahoo, Tattoos, and tOSU (1-year bowl ban, 82 scholly limit for 3 years)

[mercer_buckeye]

unless it was so damned generic that no one knew what to do with it.

Probably went something like this.

Tressel to Gene Smith:
Well gosh you know sometimes the young people they got alot of opportunities. And...some they have to work real hard for. And um hard work is a great thing, as you know, I'm sure you had to put your head down to get where you are. And well sometimes I think, you know maybe things come ah a little easier maybe. And that kinda stuff. So um that's really...

Rumor is we were searching for the needle and got poked. The Presser will not be what we are hoping for...I hope my source is wrong. No specifics except there is not alot of good news.

Another anonymous source, huh?

 

[Coqui]

And he won't explain why he deleted it...

He said he can't say why.

I'd be a lot more worried if Gee was having the press conference without Smith andor Tressel.

Exactly. If they were canning either Smith or Tress, chances are one or both would not be there with Gee to do it.

Or..........or............Tress planted the "source", the white hot spotlight of the "press" gets focused on tOSU, the e-mail and phone records requests reveal squat, tOSU is completely vindicated, and it leaves such a Mark May stain on the NCAA and the press that the 5 game suspensions are reduced to two....

Jim Tressel - you magnificent Bastard!!

Bad time to be updating the site today.

Wasn't like that long. I clicked on the link not more than 10 minutes after it was posted elsewhere and all was restored.

Probably all of us on the ledge checking it every 5 minutes.

This is what you get paid the big bucks for Gordo (well this and raising $2.5 billion), so whatever the decision is, get it RIGHT!

Much as I love Gee as OSU's President generally, I cringe every time he even thinks of saying anything regarding OSU athletics. I would be very happy if he just stood there looking like a statute while Smith and JT handled this.

Can't wait until this is over, one way or the other.

 

[jwinslow]

He's already deleted it.

That is at least twice in 24 hrs, the last when he wrongly reported that yahoo gave OSU a 30 min heads up when it was actually three hours.

I feel like the world is ending...

Urban needs a lot of space for his greatness.

 

[BrowardBuck]

I think "good news" is a relative concept right now.

Yes...should have said good news in relation to what everyone seems to be jumping off the ledge over.

 

[BB73]

A good take on the situation from Mark Rea.

I disagree with this line of thinking. I think that both Smith and Tressel are classy enough that they would resign if they felt it appropriate, and that they would want to do it with Gee there.

that's not the way it's done though. if they were going to resign or if Gee was going to terminate one or both, Gee would be making the announcement and then talking to the reporters without either one being there.
