Rumor: SI set to release latest Buckeye findings on 5/31
Columbus radio reports that SI will launch their newest round of missiles at OSU a week from today. In true Buckeye fashion, the radio personality said that SI was 'saluvating' over the article. I guess the guy covering the story is a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist.
It will probably be some of the stuff that we covered on here last week. But apparently there is new dirt on Tressel going back to his YSU days. It's about both Tressel and players, and there is a pretty thorough history of this 'thing', whatever it is. Popcorn sales in Michigan are peaking right about now...
The sound of mouth breathing?
The last ones the best.
Also we should have a T-Shirt that says " I got recruited by Ohio State and all I got was this crummy T-Shirt".
I think that would be better as a bumper sticker. "I got recruited by Ohio State and all I got was this crummy car."
... with a beat up old car, and even funnier if it's a lexus.
I actually own a Lexus and have never in my life had any bumper sticker on any car I've ever had. But I do have vanity plates related to UM (Virginia plates) and a UM rim around the plates. I WOULD TOTALLY BUY THAT STICKER if Brian sold it. What a great way to rub it into OSU fans.
Seriously sell that. You will make bank.
That is great. I almost spit water all over my computer but it was totally worth it! That is an awesome idea.
if mgostore sold that, I'd buy it.
1. work out a cut with Brian
2. sell it
3. make the world a better place as a result
4. profit
....5 of 'em. 4 for my family. 1 for my OSU-alum brother-in-law.
If this shizzle goes down as rumored, I'm making an immediate trip to the closest second-hand clothing store to buy myself a celebratory vest.
That is not enough popcorn!
It's not like SI drops a bomb on Columbus. Nooo, way better -- there are these leaks, tSIO fans are going to have sleepless nights knowing what is coming for a week. Whereas we UM fans wake up each morning to see who the latest 4* commit is to UM, those wearing the scarlet & gray wake up every day fearing what news is coming out to doom their team.
Whatever pain we endured for the last four years... well, payback's a beeeyatch, ain't it?
those wearing the scarlet & gray wake up every day fearing what news is coming out to doom their team.
This. It's like Ohio State lost a slap-bet.
SI investigation = Death Penalty
Freep investigation = Practice Gate
Huh.
Tim better start getting the hello posts and goodbye tressel posts ready.
giddie up!
It always affects my allergies.
Please make it so where that program just burns to the ground. I will love to host a BBQ on OSU's campus as it burns to the ground and i see all the recruits from ohio wear Michigan apparell. Who's with me?!
I'm hanging in one of the libraries wearing one of my favorite Maize n Blue shirts. I've seen a few other brave souls donning their Michigan gear in the last few days. Talk about a ray of hope in an endless, terrible black sky.
On another note, when I got to the bus stop today (with shirt on), I was greeted by a frat brah wearing a shirt that said "Where Amazing Happens" and an arrow pointing down. Gosh, these people sure value education.
wait what library, at osu? help me understand this
we didn't really wanna know how bad these fucks are gonna get it. I can't wait to talk sooooo much shit to all these shitty ass suckeye fans. All these years they've been beating us, no wonder. Scum!
Which this was coming out Friday, just in time for the visits of Mr Stanford and Man-Beast Washington.
They should just bring Dunn with them so we can complete the massive implosion in Ohio.
This reporter supposedly dug up enough hard evidence in two trips to Columbus that an entire new investigation would be spawned. Information that not only had OSU not reported but that the NCAA nor OSU knew of. "Going far back" as in information that the NCAA had not found in 4 previous investigations into Tressel run programs... I guess I'll believe it when I see it. Not saying is impossible just...hard to believe. Again, not that there are infractions, that isn't hard to believe, but that he could find significant ones unknown and/or unreported by OSU in that timeframe. If OSU didn't know about them, then his information search would be that much more difficult, dealing with private business, landlords etc. Again, it's not impossible, I just don't know what he could have come up with. The two mouthbreathers on 97.1 and their tease of this information aside, I wonder what it could be.
The way everything seems to be going down, Tressel is gonna be the scapegoat for this whole ordeal. I wouldn't be surprised if OSU keeps him around for the season to get out all the dirt, and let him fall on his sword for the entire mess. I'm hoping there will be some pretty severe penalties to let Michigan clean up recruiting wise over the next 2 years, but I'm starting to get the feeling that OSU itself may get off light on this thing.
i predicted this months ago. they must wait for all the sewage to surface. then tress takes the fall for all of it.
now if they can just figure away to make him the fall guy for basketball too...
A woman from Ohio I work with has a sister who works for OSU academically and also knows a couple people in the athletic dept. She told me she'd get the "straight story" during a visit in March. Came back saying Tress was the fall guy for higher-ups, which in the context of tatgate sounded like a load of "poor Tress" crap to me and I dismissed it. Recent events make me wonder if they're onto something. This kind of mess reeks of boosters gone wild and trustees turning a blind eye, if even half-true. Wow.
Farnn,
I believe that, along with the mess of the Jim O'Brien situation is the only reason Tressel is still employed. The longer he's there, the more OSU can blame on him, and in a desparate attempt to keep his job, Tressel will accept responsibility and distract the investigation from what really goes on in the athletic department at tOSU.
Wasn't George Dohrmann the same writer who wrote about college players being paid? I think Santonio Holmes was mentioned in that article.
I think that was written by the actual Agent paying players, I could be wrong though.
Love as always, Gordon and Gene
You forgot the "P.S. Please don't fire us LOL!" at the end.
Raise your hand if you would like to see Tressel perform seppuku at midfield of the Big House this November while the Blue Angels fly above and U-M and the NCAA laughs heartily while wringing their hands. Also fireworks.
As long as none of his blood taints our soil, I'm fine with that.
Oh no, there'll be a tarp to collect it all. Then that tarp can be burned and the ashes can be sucked up by a vacuum cleaner which will then be thrown in a dumpster.
All during halftime. With more fireworks.
OSU blood = Big House fertilizer
And no, it does not matter that we have field turf.
Only red yarn
The best part about that scenario is that it would be seen by everyone in the Big House in glorious Hi-Definition on UM's new Godzillatron scoreboards.
Bucknuts is in complete meltdown mode. All rationality is gone. It's actually quite amusing.
Wait, I have to pay money to read Bucknuts? I have to give someone my Visa card number to read someone's misspelled, inane speculation? How could this business model NOT work?
Bucknuts is the only blog a lot of osu fans know about, and it's been in the public consciousness since the 1990s.
But, but, but...
I'm really curious what's being said.
However the thread about stroebel being a silent "SCUM" commit is open for your pleasure. Source is rcmb though.
Where else can you so much entertainment for so little cash.
