While I know that there are media members out there who just don't like Ohio State and I know one major outleat has a vendetta against Ohio State (the whole conference really because of the btn). What we are seeing today is 100% condemnation of JT and Ohio State over the handling of this. Not everyone wakes up with an axe to grind against ohio state.

This is not directed directly at you BL; To dismiss every negative article as the work of a hater is starting to border on baghdad bob territory.

Almost everybody....

Oh shit.

No, it's no where near Baghdad Bob territory. Baghdad Bob would be saying there were no violations and that the NCAA was dying at the gates of the Horseshoe

Perhaps I've not been clear, I'm not really dismissing the content of the articles. I AM dismissing the people WRITING them

im sure this was already discussed earlier, but we be having some pretty bad thunderstorms down here so I've had to keep my computer off, but I heard what Bob Knight said on Mike&Mike and I have so much more respect (i already liked him) for him, defending Tressel when almost every other hack has been just bashing him

Combine the image with the notes at the bottom. All thats missing from the picture is a caption that says "Well...time to fix the last idiot's mess.....Will Campbell on the offensive line?!"

I understand...and it isn't the criticism of Tressel or even the program that bothers me personally...much like (and I don't mean to at all make this political, I am just trying to illustrate an example) when I listened to Keith Olbermann, it wasn't the criticism of Republicans or Bush that bothered me...it was the dripping with self sanctimony. Same with sports media...they try and act like they are some sort of moral, ethical, or intellectual authority...when in point of fact most of them couldn't score well enough on the fucking Wonderlic test to get drafted, and most of them likely have more skeletons in the closet than Hannibal Lecter.

Oh, and uh...Ohio State could beat the New England Patriots only playing 8 bench players, having FGs count for only 2 points, and without any coaching :p

More and more people are starting to see what I've thought about Coach Knight all along...

The coaches know which ones are really "good guys" and which ones are habitual NCAA rule breakers. I don't believe that the "good guy coaching fraternity" really likes to see any of their memebrs get fired and/or have negative actions against them. I have no reason to believe that Brady hoke is anythiong except an "above board quality coach" (except for the fact hat he was hired by scUM ). I'm sure he was sincere when he said: "He's a good man, and I have a lot of respect for him, and they'll fight through that situation, and it will have no effects on the rivalry."

 

[Onebuckfan]

I hate to Quote an Ass but as of now JT is still the coach..to all the haters, spinners sanctomonious fans from other schools, bloggers with all kinds of agendas "Deal with it".

Oh boy I can see the Bollman haters coming out in full force this year, it could get ugly

My guess is there won't be any haters for those two games. They will be huge Buckeye victories. Not worried at all. They're going to have to pull the starters at halftime, because the Buckeyes will be playing with vengeance this year.

Not defending anything anybody did, but a little bit of "us against the world" and "Bad Boy" image could go a long way.

So, yeah, Gordon Gee could coach those first two games, or the first four, it doesn't matter. Big Buckeye victories.

Go Bucks.

Not lookin good for the Senator...

A Husker fan here with respect and appreciate all the love I've gotten here over the years I've been on here. On the outside looking in, this don't look good now...

I posted on another thread supporting the guy, thinking that He's not going to get busted that bad after the suspension and fine...then I read this (from TSN):

Ohio State's official letter to the NCAA regarding violations within the football program sheds more light on Tuesday's confusing press conference, and likely leaves the school in serious trouble with the NCAA.
The letter clearly explains the process by which coach Jim Tressel failed three times to tell his superiors about evidence of NCAA violations. ​

The three specific times:

-- Tressel signed a document on Sept. 13, 2010 that said he was not aware of NCAA violations. ​

-- He failed to tell school officials on or around Dec. 9, 2010 about emails he received in April explaining players' involvement in selling memorabilia. ​

-- He failed to tell school officials about the emails - or his knowledge of players selling memorabilia -- when specifically asked on Dec. 16, 2010. He also misled school officials that day when stating he "did not recall from whom he received the tip," and that he "did not know that any items had been seized." ​

The letter states, "The institution is very surprised and disappointed in Coach Tressel's lack of action in this matter," but goes on to say that the violation is 'out of character' for Tressel and that he has a "proven history of promoting an atmosphere of NCAA compliance within the football program." ​

Another significant - and potentially more damning -- issue: In a Feb. 8, 2011 interview, Tressel admitted it was 'inevitable' that players named in the email had committed NCAA violations and would be ruled ineligible. In other words, Tressel knew the players were ineligible and played them anyway. ​

His reason at Tuesday night's press conference for playing them: He didn't want to interfere with a federal investigation. Either way, that admission jeopardizes any hope of Ohio State has of keeping its 12 victories from the 2010 season, and paves the way for more serious sanctions from the sport?s governing body. ​

That one statement - in conjunction with Tressel lying about the emails and misleading university investigators -- can be the foundation for lack of institutional control charges. ​

That charge is the most serious the NCAA can levy, and could result in probation, lost scholarships, and even vacating the entire 2010 season. ​

​

​

Wow. After all I had written, then I read this. tOSU and Coach T could be in huge trouble. When you sign a document that says "I didn't know," then you turn right around and say, "Yeah, I knew," then that's huge trouble.​

Think Raphael Palmeiro:
"I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period."

Busted.​

Go Big Red!​
