The only thing that surprises me is that it took this long. The search starts and stops with Urban. Only after he turns it down does a search really begin. I don't think he'll turn it down.Originally posted by BoylenOver View PostA man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali -
This sucks to some degree, because now I think the NCAA might be lenient. I hope not. I hope they hammer Ohio State."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

I agree. I am shocked it took this long. He should have resigned a couple of months ago.Originally posted by CJF View PostComment

I can't wait to listen to the Dayton Sports Scene with Mark Neal. The meltdown will be epic. It sucks for Dayton's own Braxton Miller, their most recent blue chip recruit. I wonder if he'll transfer. Buckeye fans have built up a lot of bad karma over the past few decade with gratuitous gloating over their dominance over Michigan the turnabout won't be pretty.
I really do hope the NCAA will be lenient, as I wish they would have been with USC. College football is more fun when the non-SEC powerhouses are in contention.Comment

Sounds like the DC Luke Fickell will be the interim for 2011. Then tOSU will have to settle for their 2nd or 3rd options after Coach Whit turns them down, just like he turned down Tennessee and USC."I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

The word is that because OSU is cooperating with the investigation they won't get USC-level sanctions. It also seems they won't be hiring a new HC until November at the earliest. There are already rumblings of a certain 5-star recruit that was already wavering on his OSU commit, along with a couple others that were deciding between UM and OSU going blue in the next few days.
The SI article coming out later today is supposed to shed light on the timing of Tressel's resignation as well as introducing a bunch more dirt. Because it's been going on since Tressel got there, it's not impossible that the 4-year statute of limitations would be lifted, but that also seems unlikely at this point.Comment

So, basically, cheat a lot, cooperate and get a slap on the wrist.Originally posted by woot View Post
Another fantastic precedent set by the NCAA if it turns out that way.Comment

Ya'll are a bunch of hacks.. Starting a new thread for this.. DDD is right. Lame...
EDIT: And ESPN gets Brent Asswipe Musberger to report on this. tOSU hates him with a passion.. They could have at least gotten turncoat Herbie to diss on tOSU and Tresell...Last edited by dabrockster; 05-30-2011, 11:07 AM.Comment

I wonder if tOSU has any interest in Chris Peterson.
Boise's future is pretty bleak right now. The MWC is a sinking ship. I realize for Boise, it was a lifeboat from the WAC,but the MWM lifeboat sprung three major leaks.
With the future of college football, it sure seems like it's likely that Boise is really going to struggle to compete at the highest level. They have an academically inferior school, a small fan base, very few TV sets and no money to speak of. They now have lost what was, possibly, their biggest asset: ESPN, and traded it for the mtn.
Peterson should have taken the Stanford job, but I wonder if he isn't going to finally take the jump some time here in the future.Comment
