You stay classy, Marcus Hall (and Columbus)
So, apparently Marcus Hall is selling signed and framed pictures of his "double bird" exit from The Game last season. I'm not sure what makes me facepalm more, the fact that this is even a thing or the egregious spelling error

He's Marcus Hall.
He's from ohio.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
You make zero sense.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:21 PM ^
Do you walk to school or do you carry your lunch?
February 17th, 2014 at 11:11 AM ^
DIDN'T GO THERE TO PLAY SCHOOL
February 17th, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
him accounteable for this blatant mockery of his punishment. But then again, it's debatable if this even matters.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
is that he sounded contrite after the fact, and even a couple weeks later was apologetic about it in newspaper articles. Then he does this? What a colossal jerk.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
He did what they made him do. Now that the focus has shifted elsewhere, he is free to be his true self.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
This shouldn't be a surprise. This was Marcus Hall's most notable career moment.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:49 AM ^
Go Blue!

Everything about this amazing and hilarious. Love that Hall is profiting on the greatest moment of his career and love the spelling error.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:21 AM ^
Too bad the ebay listed has ended. It would have been nice if someone asked him if he had a copy without a spelling error.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:21 AM ^
Apart from damages to the stellar reputation most around the country hold for OSU, does this hurt them at all in the eyes of the NCAA? He's still a student there, right? Any sort of sanctions or anything in order? I thought selling autographs was against the rules, but I don't really have any idea.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:26 AM ^
they'll get in more trouble over the NFL logo compared to the selling of things. He's a student, yes, but not playing for the team anymore. But not in the pros yet either. Given the NCAA's track record on things like this, I don't think they'll lift a finger over it. Even though I think technically he could/should get in trouble over it, he won't. Just my guess.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:26 AM ^
at the link I provided above, he is no longer on the team.
I assume he was a casualty of the OSU oversigning.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:00 PM ^
He is no longer on the team because he was a fifth-year senior this year.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
cut us some slack. Judging by his behavior, it was difficult to tell that he was a fifth-year senior at the time.
February 17th, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
February 17th, 2014 at 11:27 AM ^
No it doesnt hurt them in the least. When the NCAA spun the big wheel of infraction penalties regarding OSU the "look the other way" slot came up.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:12 PM ^
That's the only slot on the whole wheel. They don't even bother spinning it anymore. Saves time.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:35 AM ^
With his eligibility up, there's nothing the NCAA can do anymore, even if they wanted to, which they probably don't. Now he's just a student, which is outside their jurisdiction.
February 17th, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
If he's still a student is he paying to attend OSU or is he still on scholarship this semester?
I always thought that the team had to be down to 85 players but the time the new recruits arrive in the fall.
February 17th, 2014 at 1:52 PM ^
in some fan's trailer, and Hall will be $35 richer. Let them have their fun.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
Step one: Spell "Notable" wrong
Step two: Unautorized use of UM and NFL logos
Step three: ???????
Step four: Profit.
February 17th, 2014 at 12:44 PM ^
...spell "unauthorized" wrong.
February 17th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
Well good thing I only did that in a post on a blog, and not on something I'm trying to sell to the public, otherwise that would be embarrassing.

I'm glad the EMU is currently not putting names on their jerseys. I would not be able to photograph that with making some sort of snarky comment. But if the not putting names is an English thing and Creighton starts putting names on jerseys, would he have King or Lion King?
And on the topic really at hand...why am I reminded of the final scene in Slap Shot when I see the picture of the Buckeye dude flipping the fans off?
February 17th, 2014 at 12:58 PM ^
Do you even college bro?
February 17th, 2014 at 1:01 PM ^
February 17th, 2014 at 1:50 PM ^
I'm guessing this was bullshit:
"I would like to apologize to The Ohio State University, The University of Michigan, my teammates, my family, the fans and the TV viewing audience for my behavior during yesterday's game. Wearing the scarlet and grey uniform is a privlege and an honor. I let my emotions get the best of me and didn't conduct myself properly in the heat of the moment. My actions do not reflect who I am as a person and teammate. I love The Ohio State University and appreciate everything it has done for me. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry and hope everyone can accept my sincere apology."
February 17th, 2014 at 2:14 PM ^
The spelling thing is cringeworthy, but I'd be happy for the kid if he makes some coin off this.
Some writer put it so well when he said Hall fulfilled the lifetime fantasy of every OSU fan when he gave the entire Big House the double bird. It's funny to me.
If he's found a way to part some OSU fans with their money, good on him. It's such a bonus if they all proudly hang them up without knowing the thing is spelled wrong.

Living in Ohio and dealing with the idiots that I do I added this to my Facebook page.
Entitled it. "Reason number E why my kids won't be going to Ohio State."
So I get an ex neighbor now living in Texas who suggests I want my kids to have a mediocre football team.
I reply I'd like them to get a notable education.
Then I get the biggest OSU asshat I can think of that I went to high school with.
-I guess that means you have never given anyone the finger in a moment of rage?
- Oh and by the way E is not a number!
Me - Does this prove my point?
- which point? that you don't know the difference between a letter and a number? Or that since you have never used the middle finger, you should be nominated for sainthood?
Me - Your responses are very notable.
- Thank you!
Only in Ohio ladies and gentlemen.

Hey you....how you been?
February 18th, 2014 at 12:03 AM ^
February 17th, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
I'd bet a pair of those stupid gold pants there would be no market for this had we won. Beat the buckeys, Please!
February 17th, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
I'll ask the unthinkable - do you ever wish we had a different rival? They're easy to hate and they are lower life forms, but do we really want to put up with this? Hypothetical.
