Maurice Clarett confirms what we all already knew about Ohio State

I take it you are too young to remember Andy Katzenmoyer?

The insane Clarett saga just keeps getting better.   And after grinding through a UM undergrad engineering curriculum, I'm both saddened and jealous that someone's college experience can be comprised of a smattering of physical education courses.  

Yeah what a moron.  He could have also taken bowling.

 You have to read between the lines. The most shocking thing is that he took golf, fishing and softball as classes but was still flunking out of school!

Here he is going fishing.  The sad thing is the NCAA will go all Honey Badger on this and not give a shit.

Because it's The Ohio State University...and the NCAA is a joke.

Statute of limitations? I can't imagine Clarett would have spoken out like this if OSU could get in trouble for it. As far as I know, he doesn't have any axe to grind with them, does he?

Actual photo of NCAA reaction when a university obstructs and obscures an investigation rather than cooperates.

Plus, one man's word against another isn't enough for investigators to find wrongdoing. But yeah, I'm surprised that nothing came out of it when he tried to cooperate with the NCAA back in 2004.

The internal investigation clearly revealed that nothing wrong ever happened.  In fact, it is an insult for you to ask the question!

 He was interviewed when the NCAA did their investigation in columbus. At that time he said nothing was going on. The guy has changed his story almost on a weekly basis and this just screams I need money buy my book.

Not be bothered with small stuff like that

as we speak they are not getting ready to play ND for the Mythical National Title, so I think they find of are.

I think Clarett said that he acted on his own accord. At least that's what he claimed when he was in prison.

I still wouldn't.

Not if the outcome meant you had to spend time in the Ohio prison system...

to Facebook, and within 5 minutes I got replies from 4 Buckeye fans who said the only reasn I posted it was because I was mad they beat Michigan this year, or that it doesn't matter because it was so long ago, or some other reply intimating that I was simply jealous or whatever.

I thought about asking them if they really wanted their kids to idolize such a place and what that would ultimately teach their children about their parents and life in general, then I decided I didnt want this to take over my day, and I just took it down.

Like my sig line used to say, "Never argue with a fool. People may not know the difference"

They wanted Clarett to talk, and for a while it appeared as though he may. Ultimately though, he was re-accepted into the fold at OSU (I think he even tried to take some more classes there), and he never gave the NCAA anything.

And since it was 10 years ago, I doubt it would matter anyway. Come to think of it, since this is the NCAA we are talking about, it could have been 10 minutes ago and it wouldn't matter.

when they played in the Sugar Bowl and one of the announcers said OSU's style reminded him of SEC schools. I thought that was an ironic comment.

Sadly, wrong. I'm sure some do but even after the violations and sanctions almost all osu fans on the major sites/blogs believe MoC was lying THEN and believe his claim of such when he learned he could get back into the osu family if he said as much. So much denial of obvious cheating that it angers me more that the school, alums, students and fans don't see it or acknowledge it than the cheating itself. Those osu fans (about 80%) are just amazingly capable of denial, pick and choosing storied to believe and especially willing ignorance. THAT, more than anything, makes me hate anything associated with that school.

All biases aside, I think Tressell was a better coach than Meyer.

Ahhhh, but what a one year bowl ban it turned out to be.  

Undefeated but watching the NC on TV, just like my grandma.
