He’s a tool. Much too late.

 

Thread jack: just read an Adam Biggers twitter meltdown. Hear me out here, Chernobyl? UMBIG11? Same erratic hate with a smidge of lost love. Thoughts?

I was involved in that Twitter meltdown. He basically said that Michigan fans were calling Nick Patterson severely underrated when he committed, and when he decommitted, people were being nasty to him.

I responded and said people were generally indifferent about his commitment in the first place, using a link to his commitment post here at MGoBlog as evidence (where literally nobody said he was underrated or anything of the sort). The readers at TTB were so excited that literally nobody commented on his commitment post.

Then he went off on a tangent insulting MGoBlog, saying nobody reads MGoBlog, everybody reads Isaiah Hole/Michael Spath, etc. I pointed out that @MGoBlog has more Twitter followers than Hole and Spath combined, and he just kept blasting MGoBlog.

So...I really don't know who Adam Biggers is, and I don't know why he hates MGoBlog so much, but he's wrong and obviously lets his emotions get in the way of facts, so I know I won't find him reliable going forward.

Smith was arrested May 9 after the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office was called when he became confrontational with staff who tried to prevent him from picking up his children at a Powell elementary school. Smith was found to be in violation of a protection order because his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, was also present. Courtney Smith had obtained a protection order against her ex-husband.

One thing I am curious about is what is a divorced father suppose to do if the mother in this situation refuses to let him see his children. IIRC, Zach Smith's defense when this first happened was that it was his custody time with the children, and Courtney gave instructions to the school to not let him pick them up. Probably a bullshit excuse by Zach Smith, but what would have been the level-headed/legal way for him to go about it?

My parents were never cordial to each other after the divorce, but they did their best to share time with my siblings and me equally.

He is not the type of person who should be alone with kids, whether they are his or not, anyway.

Also, this is not the first time he violated the protection order. When she first got it he stalked her all around Columbus and the police had to get involved many more times than any official reports will show. Now that he's not a OSU coach the police are actually doing their job and arresting him.

If you've ever seen some cheesy movie with an irrational abusive husband character who seems so over the you think it can't possibly be an accurate depiction of a real person…well, that's what Zach Smith is like in real life. This is second hand knowledge (not from some guy on Counterstrike), but the media reports certainly back it up.

Maybe....his sentence was 180 days and got knocked down to 20 though.  I’m sure they’d find a way to let him slide if he wasn’t such an idiot. it’s hard to look the other way when he is repeatedly being a dumbass.

Jail can be rough. My good friend told me his week in county, awaiting processing, was worse than anything over the 6 months he spent in prison.

Just his experience. But he said he felt more threatened in jail. He also said he wasn’t aware of any ass rape happening in prison. But he was aware of a lot of guys taking turns blowing each other.

Not in every state, but it actually works completely the opposite of the way you think.  Federal prisons are by far the nicest because of the funding.  New buildings, cleaner facilities, more guards, etc.  Even though, yes, the people in them are theoretically much more dangerous.  State prisons not nearly as nice, but still not terrible (facilities and resources, that is).  And county/local jails........oooohhh, boy.  Very, very rough facilities, very little funding, guards don't care, not a lot of oversight.  This is a generalization.....

Prisons are awful but most of them have stuff to do, activities and classes etc.  Jails don’t have that much to do and people get bored and that obviously leads to trouble.

Source-used to do some work in the county jail and also toured one of the local prisons to learn about their programming.  In the main housing of the county jail inmates were in their cells 20-22 hours a day.  The prison I visited had a lot more resources and vocational training and the like

Most jails, in my state, are over crowded and run privately.  They are awful.  Most folks that get a sentence that is long enough want to get to prison as soon as they can.  Way more liberties (I mean that in a very relative way) than local jail. Privatization of jails so the owners can cut corners and make money is not a good thing.  Not that it’s easy to get sympathy for people who are sent there, but folks really don’t get it.  So as much as I think that OSU guy is a dick, I take any jail time as a very serious thing, not necessarily to be celebrated.  Though it’s not oz, and prison isn’t usually oz, unless you are in the worst of the worst because you did the worst.

Still amazed that someone as ruthless and self-serving as Meyer tied himsef to this idiot and was taken down because of that. All because of loyalty to that monument of mediocrity Earl Bruce.

I don't think you have the correct read on this situation at all. Smith is clearly LOYAL LOYAL LOYAL to Urban. Smith could have saved himself and made a ton of cash if he flipped on Urban and he never did anything besides talk well of him. 

If you're a scumbag coach who operates outside the lines, what do you think you need more than anything? A guy who's 100% loyal and willing to do anything for you. That's Smith's function for Urban.
