if Tressel says Pryor is in "training all day long" is there a problem

Submitted by Blue Blue Blue on

"The only reservation I have is I'm not so sure he doesn't train too much," Tressel said. "It seems like he's there all day. He's just a worker."

must all be voluntary.

 

And on an academic note, can we find out if Clarett earned any credits in prison that transfer in toward his OSU degree?

1. It's unnecessary to comb articles looking for new quotes about how hard players work so that we can complain more about the Freep investigation and practicing too much. If I recall correctly, both the coaches and players at Ohio State thought the report was ridiculous, so there's no reason to spit venom over this again and again and again. It's just tiresome at this point.

2. Student academic records are confidential. So no, we don't get to learn about Clarett's credits in prison, nor do we need to beat this subject to death as well. In my opinion, it's actually nice to see that he's actually turning his life around.

Seth 9 in a fun guy to hang out with. Often times we head to local childrens funerals. Sometimes we just walk by homeless people begging for food and preach to them about how thier years of substance abuse have directly influenced thier current position. Just last week me and my buddy Seth 9 went to the local comedy club and pointed out all of the inconsistencies in the lead-up stories.

My main point was that these topics have been beaten to death to the point that they have very little comedic value. And with regards to Clarett, it's not necessary to make fun of him when he does something positive since there's a wealth of other material available.

This is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. The guy made some bad choices, but he is now being given a second chance to make something of his life. I pray to God that you screw up at some point in your life, and a bunch of people make fun of you on a message board. Mistakes happen, you only fail if you never learn from them.

While I agree with you regarding his academic progress, damned if I won't make fun of a former osu 'star' that was sent to prison. What he did was beyond a mistake on so many levels and out of any acceptable social norm for him to earn a second chance. The kid had everything and threw it away. Jokes aside, it's shameful for osu to allow him back on campus. He is a violent ex-con, and so help them if he pulls any more stunts while on campus or against another student.

I would personally not make fun of the loaded AK-47, the two loaded hand guns or the katana sword, but that is because I would be afraid that the person carrying said items might just be crazy enough to use them.

But the lint roller - if you can't make fun of that then life is just not worth living.  I forgot that amongst his various other weapons of death and/or intoxication, he also had a lint roller.

Clarett brought it on himself, its a sad story, but it's absolutely his fault, he didn't get screwed by someone else, nobody was "out to get him", so forgive me if I'm a little unsympathetic to his plight.

The only thing more sad than the fact that Clarett managed to burn every bridge he could find is the fact that he couldn't burn the one leading onto OSU's campus.

I have a hard time stomaching your rebuke considering that your avatar says "Ohio Sucks Balls." I pray to God that you suck some balls at some point in your life, and you get to see just what it's like to be the state of Ohio. For shame...
