If they've got violations coming, that would make me feel a little better about him dominating us. Would also explain why Lloyd always had the same face when he shook Carrol and Tressel's hand.

That look probably had something to do with the outcome of those games.

It wasn't like when he lost to other coaches. I remember reading somewhere about how he didn't like their shadyness and it bothered him.

That's an internet meme that won't die. Carr gave a normal handshake and just happened to be photographed as he was turning away.
Carr had some issues dealing with the press, but I don't think any opposing coach ever had a personal issue with him.

That's how you can tell
That's how you can tell
That's how you can tell it's bullshit. If he was leaving, Hazell and Fickell wouldn't have left before the coaching search. And Patterson wouldn't be one of the choices-it'd be Hazell, Fickell, Bob Stoops, maaaybe Urban Meyer, or someone with strong ties to OSU and coaching experience. Bo Pelini was a strong possibility before his meltdown, but Patterson? Not happening unless the search goes to hell. I can see Glenn Mason before Patterson.
December 25th, 2010 at 7:23 PM |
This is true

Recruits were told starting yesterday that Tressel will no longer be the coach and can start looking elsewhere. Looks like some major compliance issues are coming down soon.

I just don't know how any of these people are still employed. They have very simple job descriptions. Get information, confirm it, report it. When in doubt, say so. Unless there are extremely good and compelling journalistic reasons, you require your sources to go on the record. Only in extreme, rare circumstances would you not identify yhour sources.
In this case, it's a bit complicated because I am not sure that "Tab," the fatassed suburban Chicago jackoff who first "published" this rumor, actually has a job to begin with. Firing him would be like firing Kramer.

Actually, that makes perfect sense. OSU is pretty quick to cooperate with the NCAA when infractions occur (and given the size of the NCAA rulebook, infractions are inevitably going to happen everywhere). They don't stonewall.

Maybe the Browns fans I know are delusional

but they like Mangini... I guess that's what happens when you get used to losing, wouldn't mind seeing my Bengals hire him though. I like Tressel, mostly because of the way he reacted to the UM investigation.

So who, I say to myself, is behind "ChicagoNow" and why
So who, I say to myself, is behind "ChicagoNow" and why
should we believe anything he says?
So I click the "About Tab" link:
Tab is a former Clarendon Hills Little League All Star who played football, swam and ran track at Hinsdale Central High School before playing football at Taylor University (Upland, IN). The father of Matthew and husband of Kristin currently has Blackhawks season tickets and a passion for all things Chicago.
OK, his credentials make him an unimpeachable source. How could I have ever doubted him?
December 25th, 2010 at 9:36 PM |
Small world- I actually knew
Small world- I actually knew
Small world- I actually knew that guy pretty well. I played at Taylor with him.
He seemed like a pretty level headed guy. I'm not sure why he would make a claim like this unless he's right or become less logical than he was about 5 years ago.
I'm not saying he's right- just that it gives me more pause that (to me) it's not some random idiot making an outrageous claim...that it's a guy I knew personally who seemed like a very reasonable individual.
I'm going to try to get ahold of him and see if I can get anything out of him about his 'sources'...

If you need drugs to be a good writer, you're not a good writer.
-Rod Serling
The only reason I have found comfort in losing to tOSU is that my perception of Tressel is a coach that does things right and represents what's right with college football. My eyebrows were raised when the Pryor incident went down because of the number of athletes involved and the culpability of a coach for his teams' lack of charecter. (Many could argue this shows lots of charecter, all questionable). It seems to go against the grain of my perception of him, but I don't know him personally.
If there are more things coming down the pipeline, I am really disappointed by collegiate football being so corrupt. If its all this corrupt, just pay the guys and label it what you will.
Crap like this and Scam Newton tarnish the collegiate game IMHO, and it doesn't make my Christmas better, it just lumps us (Big10) into the same category as them (SEC). It seems like just a potential mess if true.
