Those rigged raffles are a real blow to the program's integrity, don't you know.

From the way it sounds, insiders nailed this. It was "bad" but really nothing more then we already knew and nothing really ground breaking.

I hate the vindictive media that would ALWAYS rather bring someone down than write something positive. Screw SI, I will never visit their site or read their magazine again.

Hope others feel the same way

So am I still A liar for saying that it wasn't what people were making it out to be?   


It's just more of the same, and not lack of control type stuff.   Again...this is all tied to Tressel alone and are things that anyone will have a very hard time proving.  More he-said-she-said than anything.



Like I said, totally delusional. The main posts start on page 11.

Sounds exactly like lack of institutional control to me.

That's exactly what it is. You can't have so much going on for 8 or 9 years and then say everything was under control or that it's no big deal.

Just because these Bozos saw nothing new doesn't mean it's not lack of institutional control. When the NZAA gets done with OSU, these same Bozos will be screaming for mercy along with the OSU top goons.

What these delusional fans are missing is this is not about just 5 players. This is about over 20 players going back 8 or 9 years. In other words, a pattern of MAJR violations, which if you believe these fans, no one in the entire OSU athletic/compliance/administration areas knew about. Yeah right. The NCAA wll believe that.

It wasn't this article that did Tressel in guys, the board of trustee's played a big part, especially Wexner.

SI took WAY to much credit for Tressel departing.

Right. The OSU BOTs waited until a Friday evening to withdraw their support of Tressel. Magically that Friday coincided with SI sending them faxes of the article to be run. :eye roll:

More from buck fans:

I didn't think Izzary ever played for the Buckeyes? I know he was on campus and got kicked out for beating up a kid on the Oval and stealing his wallet but did he ever play?

 

How much do those raffle tickets cost?  My first mowing job I got paid me $5 a week when I was about 12.  A HS kid could make $20 a week without trying.  Did Tress cheat them out of hundreds of dollars or something?

Just finished the article. Good Lord. If that's all they've got, somebody please get Coach Tressel on the line and offer him his da#@ job back.

Sounds like Pryor has some explaining to do......has he really been driving 8 different cars in his three years at OSU? Also, where is he getting all of this gear from? Stealing it from OSU or collecting from other players? I'm sure someone would have noticed when Pryor started needing extra gear all the time.

Crazy, huh? The sad thing is, this could just as easily be Tide fans talking, if we were in the same boat.

This by an Auburn fan (WAREAGLE) on SBB forum:

I know how Ohio State fans. feel. When you are at the top like Coach Tressel or Coach Chizik, everybody is trying to bring them down.

When your players are selling / trading stuff ( that they shouldn't)? it is "failure to monitor."

When you coach is told of it, and sweeps it under the rug to keep his best players eligible?

That much is an "open and closed" case.

What all exactly is going on, and how severe the punishment will be, are the only things left.

Basically, we know it's passed man slaughter, and murder 2, and up to murder one. The question is, is it just murder one, to be punished with life in prison, or is it capital murder with "life without parole?"  Or, do they get the chair??

To bad it was Michigan who's stadium is named, "The Big House" would be pretty fitting for their arch rivals right about now."  

[pmull]

OSU fans really don't have anything to worry about. The NCAA will hit them with scholorship cuts and bowl sanctions. The interim coach will have a terrible year and OSU will go through 3 or 4 coaches over the next few years. Michigan, Penn State and Nebraska will own. Other than that it will not be bad.

Seems like I've read and heard some of this same talk before, during Bama's trying times and I probably had some of the same opinions about Bama's program that OSU has about theirs. You can't blame them for wanting to believe that none of this is true, but we all know better.

Watch thism "right cheer" happen...in this order....

Five Stages Of Grief

    1.Denial and Isolation.
    At first, we tend to deny the loss has taken place, and may withdraw from our usual social contacts. This stage may last a few moments, or longer.
    2.Anger.
    The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if she's dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He may be angry with himself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it.
    3.Bargaining.
    Now the grieving person may make bargains with God, asking, "If I do this, will you take away the loss?"
    4. Depression.
    The person feels numb, although anger and sadness may remain underneath.
  5.Acceptance.
    This is when the anger, sadness and mourning have tapered off. The person simply accepts the reality of the loss.
