I must have missed that, too.
Based on what he said this morning, he "knew" Green was Blue in November.
I thought Dawson also just said that taking visits helped take his mind off of some of the personal pain he was going through. There are some "Michigan fans" that owe him an apology.

Saban will narc on them.
Saban will narc on them. Plus the other established powers of the SEC will likely be happy to see Ole Miss thrown under the bus.
That said if you're Ole Miss, it is likely worth it. You'll get 4 or 5 years in the sun and maybe even a national title before the NCAA catches to you. The NCAA will of course nuke you and you'll suck, but hey you sucked before so what did you really lose? Plus if you can build some excitement during your run, you'll get donations and the like to at least improve your facilities.

I cannot wait for the spectacular implosion
Just what is it about a coach who has been a great success at every head coaching job he's had that is telling you he's going to "implode" at an already very successful program with in-state access to a large pool of football talent? Especially given the fact that the university he now works for has made it abundantly clear that they have no compunction about cheating, and know the NCAA is a pathetically toothless organization?

If Brady Hoke had Urban Meyer's on-field resumé, everybody here at MGoBlog would be slobbering all over him and you'd be one of them.
Your very obvious dislike of Meyer might be well-founded on personal terms, but your dismissal of his proven coaching abilities througout his career is whistling past the graveyard. There is nothing in his record that indicates he won't be a success at OSU, with the single exception of the circumstances surrounding his departure from Florida.
What is it specifically about Meyer that leads you to think he's going to "implode?"

#238
If Brady Hoke had Urban's off-the-field resume,
Well, that wasn't my point, was it? That's why I specifically said you had well-founded reasons to dislike Meyer for personal reasons. And we both know that Meyer's going to have to get caught banging Gene Smith's wife in order to be fired for off-the-field reasons, because the entire OSU administration from Gee on down couldn't care less how much the head football coach cheats.
You still haven't given a reason why you think Meyer is going to implode. Will it be for personal reasons, or will it be for lack of success on the field? And if it's the latter, why do you think he won't be successful? Is it because his coaching competition in the conference is better now than what Tressel had to face?
February 6th, 2013 at 1:17 PM
#239
I think Urban will have a few
I think Urban will have a few years of success at OSU. I see it being a very short tenure ending badly. First, you have absurd expectations that are higher than anywhere else in the country, a coach who clearly has enormous problems handling stress, a coach whose former players testified that he ran the locker room so poorly there were players who refused to participate in conditioning, players faking injuries at the request of coaches, and at one point a star player physically assaulting another coach ( "The program...was out of control"). You cannot sustain success with that going on, which is probably why he's never been at one place for very long. I've just seen this story play out too many times. Big name, huge ego, tons of hype, tons of talk, but never meeting expectations.
I predict that OSU will lose two games this year mainly due to a weak front seven, and three the following year with what is shaping up to be a craptastic O-line. That's when shit will start to hit the fan.
February 6th, 2013 at 1:44 PM

That's when shit will start to hit the fan.

It is a bit odd that with their great class, tOSU has very little in the way of O-linemen. Two recruits, both three stars. Given that this was an area of present weakness, I'm surprised that Urban did go all in after this position. Or is he just obsessed with skill players?
