Thaddeus Gibson Says OSU players knew selling items was against rule

I can't follow your logic.  Are you saying that because someone, somewhere has said or done worse things to a student athlete that anything that falls below that threshold is ok?   If so, that's beyond idiotic.

For the record, I didn't neg you

I guess calling anyone a shithead, especially someone who has never done anything to you personally, or to anyone else for that matter, is inappropriate.  Lets keep in mind that opposing players are still human beings, regardless of the fact that they play for that school down south.

Clarett wasn't a shithead.  I think Maurice had significant emotional and mental health issues off the field, as seen in his post-OSU spiral.  There was a lot of speculation around Columbus that Maurice was bipolar or schizophrenic when he got arrested, and I know the judge hearing the case was concerned enough to order a mental health evaluation.

Pryor, on the other hand, doesn't have any issues beyond a huge ego and a lack of ethics.  He's a shithead.  Clarett isn't.

the best thing I have ever read. Seriously, this deserves a +100 way more than snarky and witty comebacks, but oh well.

Really, this is true. Calling someone a shithead for dropping a pass is the wrong way to do it. That's a think-of-the-children-they're-people-too moment. But pawning off the ring that other people work all their life to get, that we would kill to have earned on our fingers, that makes one a shithead who deserves no place in Big Ten lore. Let it be remembered if there is ever a piece on TP as a B10 "great" or anything of the sort.

I completely agreed with you.  I never thought Pryor was a great leader, but I didn't think he was this stupid.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if, behind the scenes, Tressel makes it clear to these guys that they shouldn't come back next year, or at least that their lives will be a living hell if they return.  Tress really does emphasize tradition and he doesn't take the pants or rings lightly.   When he found out that the 1942 team never got rings because of the war, he bought all the surviving members rings identical to the 2002 team, but with 1942 and their names and jersey numbers on it.  He paid for it with his championship bonus.  I can't imagine his reaction when he heard about this crap.

Pryor extended the charade of his recruitment I said on this blog that he would later in his career demonstrate problems with decision making and judgment. That entry cost me a good many MGOBLOG points.

Well...I rest my case.

TP is all about TP.

LOL!!!  I'm sorry.  Tell the HR guy to look her up.  I'm sure he'll enjoy her too!

GO BLUE!!!

I thought the flat earth course was 344, an undergrad course. Round earth is too advanced for the undergrads.

Again my bad for miss reading the course catalog.
