Tressel Out (per Columbus Dispatch)

[HanSenSE]

If Ohio State is smart they'll just go through this season with an interim coach and then make a run at Meyer, who will get a Saban-like deal if he accepts, after the season.

Saban is a former OSU assistant.

OSU should offer him 10 bucks more than Bama -- he'd be in the bag.

Former Kent State guy as well...he has strong ties to teh area and would be a perfect fit.

But ... but ... Alabama's got a Saban statue! And there's a community to heal from the tornado devastation!

Would Gee consider Chris Petersen, or is he not deserving?

Tressel hates Memorial Day

 

[Mizzougrad96]

So who gets bumped out of the ESPN rotation to make room for Sweatervest?

I'm not arguing, just asking... Is the only difference between what happened to Tressel and what happened to Pete Carroll that Carroll bailed out at the right time?

 

[Mark2010]

Pretty much. Carroll knew the posse was coming and got out of town. Tressel apparently had no where else to go.

What a cesspool big-time college sports have become. I can partially excuse the 19-year-old kid who has no idea what he's getting into, but the adults who condone it? Perhaps schools need to get a bit tougher, like providing all athletes a complete list of NCAA rules and saying "You break the rules, you're off the team and out of school". Of course, the fact it takes years for some of this stuff to come to light doesn't help matters.

Don't think Carroll spent as much time polishing his halo. And watching this happen to the Big Tweleven is just an added dollop of joy.

Pryor about to be done at OSU also:

The supplemental NFL draft suddenly gets more interesting. Letting those guys play in the Sugar Bowl now looks like an even bigger sham.

Funny you mention that. We went to Tuscaloosa today. First thing Ms. Slappy, the huge Alabama fan, said is how disproportionate the statue is to a person. From the waist down, he's built like Herman Munster instead of Pee-Wee Herman.

OSU went to Youngstown State for its last football coach. Maybe they should turn to Mount Union this time around.

Can't believe Tressel isn't getting any points for not sentencing his student videographers to death by wind storm.

Sheesh.

"See, there are schools outside of the SEC that cheat too..."

Although, I'll bet if you listed the 10 dirtiest programs in college football, six or seven would be from the SEC.

Whether Tressel is gay or not is none of our business.

Oh, out of a job. Never mind.

Given that Larry Kehres is also the AD at Mount one would ask if he should replace Gene Smith.

Huh?

Did you really just cite Bleacher Report to make a point?

I can't believe Patch got scooped on this story.

 

[dooley_womack1]

I won't believe it until the guy who says, "hello, is this thing on?" confirms it.
