Urban Myer: I did not know; I did not lie; I merely mismanaged ZS
Am I the only one hearing about this? Myer tweeted a statement clarifying why he was suspended.
Dude, you won! Just STFU!

He's a megalomanic.
August 31st, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
The continued need to lie and justify speaks to something more here. I feel like him continuing to talk might actually wind up doing him more harm than good...
August 31st, 2018 at 1:24 PM ^
Dude is only making it worse for himself.
August 31st, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
I think he's still upset about being suspended and this is him arguing about it like a petulant child over his "punishment".
August 31st, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
The guy is just twisting in the wind and hopelessly grasping for a safe landing. Defending his own lies and missteps by saying it didn’t happen despite the documented facts. Pathetic look.
Who is advising him? Surely someone with some PR sense can keep him off Twitter.
August 31st, 2018 at 1:42 PM ^
Urbs recently spotted picking up some more memory loss enhancers...
August 31st, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
At some point this evening, there will be a further statement or tweet rolling most of this back and once again trying to avoid blame for things he has already roundly admitted to doing / not doing, depending on the specific point.

Why hasn’t anyone found out the cell carrier for OSU and go get the old texts! Every text is still there and will always be on that phone number. Now a ingenious reported or tech guy can go find this out pretty easily. Also if the authorities really “want to know” they can suppena everything from the time that phone # was activated. (But I’m guessing they really don’t want to know) there is so much more to this story.
August 31st, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Is that sincere commitment kinda like the same one he gave his wife on his wedding day?
August 31st, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
You sir have won the internet
August 31st, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
Next thing he will publish a book called "If I Did It"
August 31st, 2018 at 2:26 PM ^
So that's "we're getting slaughtered in recruiting over this and I've got to say something."
Again, I think people made way too much of vocal HS recruit parents in the immediate aftermath of the decision not to fire Meyer. It seems the silent majority of HS parents are deeply troubled and it's having enough of an effect that Urban is doing more damage control.
August 31st, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
So, instead of letting it die, he makes another statement where he says he’s not a liar but instead, incompetent at part of his job?
August 31st, 2018 at 2:47 PM ^
Thoughts and prayers, Urban.
August 31st, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
Urban claims to have kept Zach Smith employed because of loyalty to Earl Bruce. The only person he is capable of being loyal to is himself. My question in all of this is what does Zach Smith have on Urban Meyer?
August 31st, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
That's the million dollar question everyone not an OSU fan would like to know .. we can only hope that it will come out eventually to prove what a sleaze ball Meyer is & always has been.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:32 PM ^
He's already proven it.
The rest is just denial.
August 31st, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
Something something two day story something something
August 31st, 2018 at 3:28 PM ^
It makes sense, if you're a LIAR, you're going to LIE and say you didn't LIE!! Piece of crap.
August 31st, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
Thee Ohio State Blackeyes
August 31st, 2018 at 3:35 PM ^
My liar has a last name.....
its m e y e r....
August 31st, 2018 at 3:47 PM ^
I hope he tweets something else in a couple of days...and a couple of days after that...and a few days after that. You know, something reaffirming that he didn't lie, that he was just mistaken about the entire situation again.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
The lady doth protest too much.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:22 PM ^
It's funny because it's not true.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
He's lying
about his lying
about his coverup
which was covered up
by OSU.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
He'll skate free, but I at least like the idea that he feels like he has to keep defending himself.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:38 PM ^
Deleted texts coming for you bra
August 31st, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
The GIF game is strong on that Twitter thread.
August 31st, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
The best part is that most of them are not from Michigan fans. The entire country sees through his blatant deceit.

USA Today: Urban Meyer Makes himself look worse.
“On Aug. 1, Brett McMurphy reported that there were text messages between Courtney Smith and Meyer’s wife, Shelley, in 2015, discussing the latest episode of abuse. That same morning, Meyer just happened to ask Brian Voltolini, director of football operations, if there was any way the media could get ahold of his phone and if settings could be changed so text messages older than a year would be deleted.
Now why in the world would he ask all that? On that, of all days? Had he suddenly become consumed with Fortnite and wanted to free up space on his phone?”
August 31st, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
No... no... no... I been reading the twitters and I've learned from the responses:
"Messages are deleted after 1 year by default."
"Meyer wanted to preserve the messages to prove he didn't know."
Remember Drake and Wadsworth are the real villains here.
August 31st, 2018 at 5:14 PM ^
To be fair, He has already forgot that he lied about lying and he is not sure if he recalls any untruths that may have occurred.
August 31st, 2018 at 6:05 PM ^
You could tell Urban not to struggle in quicksand.....
August 31st, 2018 at 6:07 PM ^
Its an Ohio Thing. If this was Michigan, everyone would be gone. MSU equals the same obstruction. I get that families keep sending their kids there. No values.
August 31st, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
A self-absorbed piece of shit who knows he can say whatever the fuck he wants because he has the whole state of Ohio, even the goddamn governor, eating out of the palm of his hand.
As long as he wins, OSU will defend him to the death. They’ll throw themselves in front of a bus for him as long as he keeps beating Michigan. Winning football games is all that matters to the OSU faithful.
August 31st, 2018 at 6:47 PM ^
Wait, so was he lying at Media Days, or was he lying when he wrote a statement that said that he lied at Media Days? And, since he can't very well have been telling the truth both times, isn't he lying now?
August 31st, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Why is it so difficult for him to admit he screwed up? Lying over and over just makes him look worse each time.
Actually we know the answer: it’s because he’s an obsessive freak and it just kills him that he’s getting publicly criticized. He wants so badly to control the media narrative. But it’s not going to happen at this point, Urb.
August 31st, 2018 at 8:52 PM ^
Why is he apologizing to Courtney Smith if she is just a crazy alcoholic vindictive bitch as portrayed by Zac and his family? If this is all her fault then he has nothing to apologize for. Puhlease Urban, shut your mouth before your foot becomes permanently wedged in it.
