3 years for Meyer at Ohio before violations/"health"/family force him out?

Rather than just throwing out insults, maybe we should elaborate a little more on the negative reaction to this thread.

The topic is a poor one for two reasons.  Firstly, it has been discussed ad nauseam on every single Urban Meyer thread starting back when his new job at Ohio was simply a rumor.  It's beating a dead horse at this point.  It's not something that should be rehashed without new information or insight to report.  Secondly, it's a fairly tasteless subject to begin with.  It would be like starting a topic on how many more seizures Jerry Kill will have.

At Mgoblog we try to raise the bar a little bit on conversation topics, try to keep them a few notches above the shitfest that is the internet.  The purpose of requiring a point total to start new topics is not because we don't like new people, but rather to give you time to settle in, and become familiar with what sorts of things make for good thread topics and which don't.

If I offended.  Clearly I wasn't involved in the earlier threads.  Regarding the Jerry Kill comparison, while I agree that would be very tasteless I am of the opinion that one Urban Meyer became ill because he knew his program was headed off the cliff (see this year's record).  With all respect I will happily wait to build up some points (and "become familiar with what sorts of things make for good thread topics) before starting another thread, but I submit to you that on a slow Friday it's ok to have a little fun at your rival's expense.

BTW, I don't think there is any better way to learn what to post and what not to post than to post something.

Also, no matter what you post, ever, it will get negative comments and feedback. You can post that the best recruit ever just committed to UofM and there will still be people whining about your formatting, thread title, and lack of a link.

I was also unaware until just recently that there is a much larger MGoBoard if you click on the link in the top-right corner. For a long time, I only saw what was in the right margin and was not aware that there were so many topics.

People might not realize just how many threads are open on the board if they do not know to look at the entire thing.

The NCAA is OSU's prison girlfriend.

Apologies to all those who have been molested in prison.  (And yes, there is still a difference between politically incorrect and hate speech, smartass).

If someone who actually works on this blog doesn't like it they'll deal with it. If YOU don't like it, ignore it or start your own blog and moderate it however you like.

Until then quit your whiny bitching !!!!!

 

I think 3 is the right number, but if I had to go over or under I'd add 1 to it. 4 years.
