Mr Ellis to be revealed?
August 11th, 2011 at 7:30 PM ^
what?
August 11th, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
He was SI's anonymous source for their article.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
Well didn't he talk with them before but didn't say anything since they couldn't guarantee that he would remain anonymous.
August 11th, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^

August 11th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
I really, really, really, really, hope this is true.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
Torg isn't the greatest source. He also said some Michigan players were selling autographs to a NW Ohio dealer yesterday.
That being said, it could potentially lead to some trouble for a few more OSU players if it turns out they lied to the NCAA. I'm not sure it will affect OSU the "institution" since the summary judgement seemed to indicate OSU did all it could to educate them about the rules.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
Eh, I believe he reported that a source of his was saying the UM stuff. In this case (at least according to the Bucknuts thread), this Torg guy is actually texting with Ellis. So maybe more credible? I hope so at least.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
time for more squirming in Columbus
August 11th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
I'm Ellis.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
No I am Ellis. I also moonlight at night as Batman and spiderman.
August 11th, 2011 at 7:56 PM ^
No I'm Sparticus! I mean Ellis...
August 11th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
I just wiki'd Bruce Vilanch, and, as part of his almost unbelievably lame resume, he got his BFA at OSU. Coincidence?
August 11th, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
Hello this is Ellis. You called?
August 11th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
We'll always have Tempe...
August 11th, 2011 at 9:25 PM ^
I wish we could posbang again.
August 12th, 2011 at 9:40 AM ^

I'm burned out on this whole ordeal. I don't care if their program is crooked. We knew it before this incident happened. The character of the players, coaches, school officials and fan base is the problem. That is what enabled this whole situation to fester. Tress was fired over it, but he was just a cog in a defective machine. The culture down there is screwed up. A coach leaving the program won't change that.
Somehow they have to recognize their ways are wrong and that just ain't going to happen.
Michigan needs to man-up and beat them down the old fashioned way. Michigan football is going to have to play better. I could give a shit about the rest of it.
Go Blue!!!
August 11th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
Yea but wouldnt you feel all warm and fuzzy inside if the NCAA drops the hammer on OSU?
August 11th, 2011 at 10:51 PM ^
when you live in an adjacent state. For those of us still trapped in Dis, we want sanctions and we want them yesterday.
August 11th, 2011 at 9:27 PM ^
When you think of all the death threats THE Ohio State University has used to intimidate and tamper with potential witnesses, it would be great if someone actually showed up and testified against them at a hearing.
Then, the NCAA would have no excuses left and would have to finally give them what they so richly deserve.
August 11th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
And when it does i will camp out in the front yard with a big ol jethro size bowl of popcorn. and watch all my Buckeye neighbors break down and fill the streets with their tears.
August 11th, 2011 at 9:43 PM ^
Is he doing full frontal or just some ball cleavage in his revealing?
August 11th, 2011 at 10:12 PM ^
About Ellis I think about Morgan Freeman's character in Shawshank.
Also a guy who could get things..... coincidence? I think not!
August 12th, 2011 at 7:37 AM ^
so take it for what it's worth, Mr. Ellis didn't testify the first time because he feared Mr. Rife. IF that's true, I think Rife would only go after Ellis if he was revealing more ILLEGAL activity such as selling drugs. There have been rumors about some of these players trading their stuff for drugs or maybe even working for Rife.
I think I have tosu sanction fatigue too. Does anybody know if today's hearing will finalize anything or is there still more to this process with the current NCAA notice. I know they can appeal but that usually doesn't go anywhere.

Very interesting Mr. Ellis to meet with NCAA next week! Torg said he had to delete a picture because he wanted no part of it! Just listen it's worth it I'll post link below. I can't believe these guys are ohio fans! GO Blue!

I think they are from Minnesota and Wisconsin. They are fairly coherent and sometimes funny for Columbus broadcasters. I think they are tosu fans in name only.
