OT - tOSU is really lookin good - Vrabel arrested (see link)
But that was a long time ago, I dont understand why everyone always attributes these types of things to the college, what are they supposed to do about it?
Sometimes college graduates commit crimes. Get over it.
Kevin Grady.
No program is exempt.
And worse
Most of his stuff took place while he was still at UofM. Sure you can't stop kids from making a mistake, but at that point you at least have some control. Once they graduate there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.
If you're going to use my likeness, it's customary to ask for permission first.
Oh... wait... nevermind.
I wouldn't accept any packages if I were you.
And avoid airplanes.
Too bad my +1 won't get you out of Bolivian.
Is that Tate?
bad apples everywhere
Someone didn't save his last two paychecks as the NFLPA advised.
yes, I was about to post the local area cincinnati article.

when it rains, it pours. this whole ohio state episode is like a infinitely glorious trainwreck you just can't stop watching but for some reason you don't feel as bad about the victims as you feel you should.
edit: I know this has nothing to do with current ohio state problems but still doesn't paint them in any better light.
Wasn't he supposedly going to go to med school when his playing days were over (like Robert Smith). Not so much, eh Mike?
they could go to med school and spend years studying and in residency, or they could make millions upon millions of dollars yearly playing a game they love, then coasting into an easy post-playing days life of "analysis" and commentating. Tough choice, I'm sure.
Double Post
My point was that various commentators would always point out that Vrabel planned to go to med school when his playing days were done, as if to say "this guy is a real brain, he has his priorities in order, ..." ad nauseam. I had my doubts that Mike Vrabel was ever seriously considering med school, and this incident confirms it. I guess I just always felt like it was just like some dickhead bartender who gets fucked up every night and is like 33 years old still telling people he is planning on going to law school (actual abrtender I knew in AA).
However, what I was not saying was that Vrabel was an idiot for not going to medical school.. What I was saying was that every NFL announcer who implied that Vrabel was a man of substance or some such shit because he at one point made the vain boast that he intended to go to med school when his playing days were over was a dipshit, and Vrabel appears to be just a run of the mill meathead. In fact, what Vrabel did was much worse that what Jalen or Grady did. A DUI has befallen many, many responsible adults who have made an error in judgment. How many respectable adults can you name who have been charged with a felony for ripping off a casino?
Not sure which is worse:
1. That you actually spent time having "doubts" about whether Vrabel would go to med school? And why would it be a concern to you what his career choices are and to have it so ingrained that you are ready to pounce on him and the announcers is kind of scary.
2. That you actually try and rationalize which mistakes (all likely fueld by alcohol) are much worse..Pan on OSU boneheaded mistakes all you want but understand that DUIs have killed just as many responsible, responsible adults (and kids)....
Why are we pointing this out. Jalen and Kevin Grady both got arrested recently.
Yeah I hear you. Seems a little hypocritical.
Hard to still hate Vrabel. He comes out of the era of buckeyes that were 2-10-1 against us. God I miss those days.
Seriously, he's spent more time with Bill Belichick than tOSU.
I only talk about guys who commit crimes for Ohio State.
Myopiaaaaaaaa
"It's the only way to be."
let it go.
