Cardale Jones Twitter comments are now textbook?
The link says it all. Yet another reason we should be thankful for the class our Wolverines show year in and year out.

Ole Miss is different from Miss St, just like Michigan is different from Mich St. Visit Oxford and Starkville some time and it is not a mistake you will soon make again, the difference is equivalent to the difference betweeen Ann Arbor and East Lansing.

I find it interesting and appropriate that Jones' tweet decrying education is being used to educate others really. That, and its placement in the text is perfect, right below the sentence "Use good grammar when posting online". If only Cardale had tweeted, "I am at odds with the primary intent of my presence at Ohio State", things might have been different.

Had he said that I would have been inclined to agree with his general sentiment
October 23rd, 2013 at 11:13 AM ^
what if he posted what you said...
would you feel the same way about him?
grammar matters... but tone saves...

Must be one of those classes that they have just to keep athlete's grade up. Coach has to talk to the players about being responisble on social media, might as well give them credit hours for it.

I started my undergraduate at U of Dayton and transferred to BGSU where I just recently graduated. Both places had a very similar course designed almost as extended orientation. I reckon most universities have these.
Necessary? Absolutely not. It's just designed to take up space on your first semester schedule... but can't complain with an easy A.

I took one at Kettering before I transferred to GVSU, where they also offer a similar class. Heck, I've even seen them at community colleges.
October 23rd, 2013 at 7:29 PM ^
Does it factor in to your GPA? Does it count toward graduation? If so, I hope MIchigan doesn't have that class. If it's an extension of orientation...maybe you should do it then.

Graham Watson has ruined Doc Saturday. It's incredible how terrible it is now.
Her posts are the written equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

Seems more like Doc Saturday was only awesome because of Matt Hinton so when he left, you sort of knew it was only going to go downhill. He was still great at Sunday Morning QB - which he then stopped writing at again - and now it seems like his main home is at Football Study Hall. I can't keep track of where he is but he's one of my favorite bloggers on the interweb
October 23rd, 2013 at 11:08 AM ^
Yahoo pulled over Matt Hinton from SMQB and let him do his thing for a while, but then they saw the "success" (read: page hits) of sites like Deadspin and Bleacher Report and wanted in on the action, so they went more "news" and less critical analysis. Conscious decision by Yahoo and it's not surprising that Hinton stepped away.

I'm still glad Michigan was unsuccessful in recruiting that kid.

I'd call the recruitment of him a success for M.

Does Ole MIss's "Best Practices" not address screaming obscenities during fellow classmates' performances?
October 23rd, 2013 at 10:14 AM ^
That will be in the next edition of the book which will undoubtedly cost $150 and render the previous edition irrelevant despite changing maybe one page.

Why didn't they use something closer to home, like Treadwell flashing cash after his commitment?

But one of the top yahoo comments when I read the article yesterday was,
"you can't fix stupid;and i'm an Ohio State fan"
He may have deleted it after many people pointed out why his* comment was so hilarious.

The comments are the funniest part.
"You are a joke at a school in Mississippi. Let that sink in for a second.
" is my favorite of the bunch. I love dry humor.October 23rd, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^

I think Cardale Jones is merely a symptom. Ohio State University's chronic NCAA violations are the disease here.
October 23rd, 2013 at 3:53 PM ^
So another book that Ole Miss players won't read?

Yes the tweet was stupid and poorly written, but isn't the greater problem not that he expressed his view publically but the content of his message? It suggests a far deeper issue at OSU than just some player's lack of editing ability and maturity to keep such thoughts to himself; it suggests a mindset where the only important thing is football and the education side is just a joke to at least some players, an inconvenience that they're required to pretend to do, and even the pretense is too much of a pain for him (and likely other players too).

In true Buckeye fashion, he's stupid squared. First for being stupid enough to really think that, second for being so stupid as to admit it in public. Pure Buckeye.
