And to the writers like Dodd and Shlabach, your type of writing is only good for one thing: Stupid fucking idiots who can't form an opinion of their own so they have to read your opinion as if it's fact. Self-righteous assholes.

Go Bucks

Are you kidding me?!? LOL - funny. I must have missed when the NCAA concidered that playing players that shouldn't be playing wasn't an offense.

WTF are you talking about? First of all, learn how to spell. Concidered? Second of all, where did I say it wasn't an offense? I'm saying that there is much worse going on in other places.

Reading comprehension: get some of it.

LOL - yes sir.

I agree with you. There are more serious offenses going on in other places.

BUT...

Pointing the finger at other people when you're possibly in trouble is, quite frankly, school yard.

Did I spell that correc-t-leeeee? LOL

Raffy Palmeiro =/= Jim Tressel.

I'll take "shit I never thought I'd see on a message board for 200, Alex"

 

[MaxBuck]

I'm not stating that Coach T is just like Raffy Palmeiro....I'm saying that the action he took is very similar.

Sorry, but I've heard no credible evidence that Tressel is on the juice. So I have to call bull[Mark May] on this one.

 

[alexhortdog95]

ROFLMAO!

You guys gotta stop, ROFLOL - I started LOL for real here in my office, and my new boss was like, "Is the party over here?"

LOL

I'm not saying that he's juicing....that would look funny as hell, though.

I was only saying that when someone is asked the following question:

"Did this happen?"

If you say, "No! It didn't happen," then you'd better be ready for some consequences if the truth ever comes to light.

What's with the Mark May quotes, LOL?

 

[SmoovP]

Pearl committed the original violation, then orchestrated a coverup with his coaches and even tried to influence what the parents of recruits would say to the NCAA.

JT was informed that he had players that had probably committed NCAA violations, and didn't tell anybody. He committed an NCAA violation by not reporting it, and deserves to be penalized, but he wasn't trying to cover up his own cheating and asking others to help him in doing so.

Both situations involve not being forthcoming to the NCAA, but they are significantly different to me.

I buy that and I don't mean to compare Tressel to Pearl.

Anyone with half a brain and one eye can see that Pearl was a sleezoid, is a sleezoid and will always be a sleezoid.

No one can say that about Jim Tressel. He's always been a stand-up guy and a class act. He simply made a mistake and then compounded it by not coming clean about it.

That may make a difference in what ultimately becomes of all this.

I'm putting most of the blame on who I think was one of the two involved in this during April.

When he committed to THE Ohio State University, a friend of mine, who's hometown is within miles of where the player grew up, told me "You bucks can have him, he's nothing but trouble."

I cannot decide if I am more disappointed in the said player or that this guy was right.


Anyway, Go bucks, and go Tress.

Yes you did

It is the truth though. I'm not saying "oh we shouldn't be in trouble" because we should.

But to tell the truth I don't even care that we're in trouble. I don't think what we did was all that bad, I lost a little (tiny bit) respect for Tressel but who am I to judge him, he's still a great man. I could only dream of becoming as good of a person as him. If, at the end of the day, lying about this was the biggest mistake I made, then I'd be thrilled with the life I live. Lastly, we will be fine. We are Ohio State. We have a great program, a great coach, and great fans. Our program is CLEAN (besides this). Any negative attention that our program gets is because of outside people and young, naive players. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

So honestly, I don't even care. Fuck it. Everyone will try to talk shit, but we're still the best. What they think doesn't even matter, and will matter even less when we bring home a National Championship in the near future.

Go Bucks.

You know something - I can admire that attitude for your team. Just be careful putting your coach on a pedestal - he is human, after all.

Hell, I'll take this over the dysfunctional Big 12 any day. We just got done getting our collective arses handed to us by Dan Beebe and his merry band of Zebras - you won't hear me complaining, LOL

GO BIG RED!

Radio report out of Cincy claiming the reason Tressel & company were so vague was per request of the FBI to not comment publically on the tattoo parlor owner's case with the current investigation going on. I so want to believe this is true but we'll have to wait & see.

This from Matt Baxendell's Twitter. Would explain a hell of a lot about the shitty press conference yesterday.

Boy, I hope so. That would explain a bunch. Of course, the FBI isn't going to get involved by saying, "We told them not to say anything regarding an ongoing Federal investigation."

 

[alexhortdog95]

Ugh....somebody PLEASE tell me he didn't say this:

"But Tressel said that as he addressed his players after their 6 a.m. workout yesterday to alert them, he wasn't seeking sympathy. He said
he left by paraphrasing a quote from former President George W. Bush:

'The most pathetic thing is a leader who is looking for self-pity,' Tressel said."

Of all the people, in a time like this, that you don't want to quote....LOL

He did say that, and we don't discuss politics in the football forums so I think it's best that our observations on the quote don't go any further than that.
