So, apparently 3rd string OSU QB Cardale Jones is not fond of having to go to classes while he is in Columbus. He posted this to his Twitter Account:

some lulz for Friday afternoon. The MGoGrammar Police could have a field day with this one
HAHA.
Legendary.

hes going to class?

Hmmm
Didn't Adolfus Washington say the same thing last year?
I bet he doesn't start this week. Oh wait, he's 3rd string? Education isn't very important when you are 3rd string, because you are DESTINED for a life in the NFL where knowledge is useless.
I believe
Washington something along the lines of 'they won't let you fail, you'd have to try to fail to actually flunk out'. Was talking about academic support.

It's a little weird to have the jersey of our nickle corner in your closet, but he did have the game sealing INT against Ohio last year, so I can dig it.
thats okay
I was a David Underwood fan too
ALWAYS remember the golden rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules
I think he said that the academics pushed OSU over the edge
When he committed, that "even with minimal effort, it's impossible to fail."
Janeane Garofalo (Film Actors Guild): "As actors it is our responsibility to read the newspaper, and then say what we read on television like it's our opinion"
He is absolutely right. He
He is absolutely right. He didn't get into OSU because of his great grades. This kid was brought in to ride the bench his entire career. Classes surely would get in the way of that.
Well, I'm riding the pine here
in front of my desk, so that fact alone won't make me feel superior to the guy. Still, good PR this twit's twitter isn't.

Doesn't Cardale know his role as a 3rd stringer
He is only there to go to class. It's his job to get straight As so that the cumulative GPA of the OSU football program is above a 2.0.
I'm not sure if that's a good
I'm not sure if that's a good thing for Ohio because it shows he's going to class despite the fact that he doesn't want, or bad simply because of how idiotic it sounds.
Ultimately I think I'll just view this as another sad insight on society and the future of our country.
Not so much our society
there are many people who choose not to go to college because they don't like school.
I think it is more an insight on the hypocrisy of the system where people who have no interest in a higher education, are given scholarships, academic assistance, etc., just so that institution can succeed in a sport.
I am sure there are many ex-high school football players out there, who would really appreaciate the opportunity to continue playing football, and get a higher education. That is what is sad to me.
I'm glad he picked Ohio over

I'll have you know, he's going to get top dollar when he goes to sell his books back. That reminds me, my sister has a communications class next semester. Who do you think will be cheaper, amazon, or Cardale?

I certainly hope he is not a communications major. The only thing he has communicated well is that he is an idiot. Isn't it great that he is receiving a free education and not someone who actually wants to learn?

Urban Meyer's Pride
Nice. This tweet dovetails nicely with Urban Meyer's attempt to emphasize Ohio's academic superiority for football players in comparison with Michigan's (major comparison he highlighted before the season started).

Applying What He Learned, Perhaps...
I don't think that is what the professor teaching your class on existentialism meant when they told you to apply the concept of "Absurdism" to real life. Then again, the meaning of life to Jones is clearly football, which if this is the only facet he will consider, it makes classes extraneous. Camus might very well have bought that as a practical application. Well done, Cardale.
Granted, he would have had to go to that class to understand this....

I doubt Cardale will be on
I doubt Cardale will be on the team much longer.
On the other hand, he's right. Many "student" athletes don't care about school, but going to college is the only way to get into the NFL, which is what they really want.
Although I can see that line
Although I can see that line of thought for a guy who comes in as a starter and is one of the better players on the team, but that is not Cardale, and he should know that by now. Not only will he not go to the NFL, but he will likely never take a meaningful snap in college.
If Denard had that viewpoint, I'd be disappointed but I'd get it. If Kenny Wilkins did, it would be stupid. Cardale Jones has as good a shot at the NFL as Keny Wilkins, and they both should be looking to not-sports as a career after college.
HAHA.
This is MICHIGAN
