You're Not Helping: Cooper Claims Compliance Was Aware of Violations
"The idiot-ash storm that buried Columbus after the volcano finally blew", but I can't keep up with it. Every day, it's another Buckeye who seems ot have no idea how PR works.
Quite simply:
Tressel should have announced Tat-5 stuff as soon as he became aware.
He did not, so:
Tressel should have announced Tat-5 stuff as soon as he was first asked about it.
He did not, so:
Tressel should have announced Tat-5 stuff before signing a paper saying he had no knowldege of anything.
(I maintain this is because compliance told him "don't say anything", but I digress)
He did not, so:
The AD should have appologized, inflicted the program with reasonable penalties, and thrown open th edoors to compliance during a full division reorg.
He did not, so:
Every other Buckeye with a program attachment should shut up and hope the "Keep your trap shut" defense works.
But they're not, so:
We laugh. And laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
"This is the EMU game, not the emo game."
John Cooper's great.
Think about it though: if he was losing while running a clean program and the guy they hired that got so much instant success the instant he left was cheating the whole time, which is all true, then he should be pretty upset.
any of this to be possible.
No freaking way.
It's already a major shit storm today, but it's really early and matters are only going to worsen once more witnesses are interviewed, and staff, players and coaches are implicated.
And Gordon Gee....a glorious return to OSU with nothing but controversy his rear view at Brown and Vandy, and now this? Holy crap. "Who woulda thunk it?".
Actually, they did, at least in part - Reggie Germany played that last season with a 0.0 GPA.
Just riffing on coach Carr's zinger from a couple weeks ago.
all the dude wanted was his rug back...
When Andy Katzenmoyer had to take ridiculous summer courses to regain eligibility. While I agree with what Coop said, he's hardly in a position to cast stones at Tressel. Maybe he's bitter that compliance did their job and continued to catch him trying to cheat, while with the Vest they just turned the other way. Or maybe that was another way in which the Vest was better than Cooper.
Using the term Wildcat to describe a direct snap to anyone other than a QB is like calling any rock band from the early 90s Grunge.
The Cooper stuff is good, but what's really damning is the old footage of Tressel and Smith confidently talking about how it's "limited" and whatnot is gold.



Your post made my day. No one ever understands me when I randomly bust out a bizarro quote. More Sealab for everyone.
