Beano Cook: Tressel will be gone after next year
I did peruse back several pages of this forum and didn't see it, but thought I'd share that on Maisel's section on ESPN, the radio portion has Beano Cook predicting the end of Tressel next year and Urban Meyer taking over. Not that anyone cares much what Beano Cook says, but he obviously has more inside access than 99% of us, so it was interesting. He quoted Meyer as saying that aside from Florida the only places he would coach are UM, ND and OSU. Cook then said "ND is out because Kelly will win, and UM has a new coach who will get 5 years, so Meyer will end up at OSU next year."
Not sure how I feel about it, but honestly, given the last 10 years, any changeat tOSU is welcome.
Why not after this year?
Because the OSU A.D. admitted that he doesn't have the authority, or balls, to fire Tressel. So, Beano must be assuming that Tressel will let himself go after this season.
So after we beat tUOS this year, they will fire him? Heheh
Tressel fires Gee and the new pres fires the AD. Then the new pres hires a new AD with balls and they fire Jimbo?
He said that Kelly would stay because he was winning and Hoke would get five years (no mention on winning). What's up with that?
I think that ND's trajectory is on the way up but I think that Michigan's is too. I definitely expect to see a Big Ten title (or two) in the next five years. Let the games begin....
Actually, I think he's just taking a neutral stance on it. I don't think he knows either way. And to be fair, I think a majority isn't sure how Hoke is gonna do. We just have to wait and see. I'm stoked about it, though, I will say that much.
The ravings of a crazy old man!
I didn't realize Beano was still alive much less relevant.
I saw him on the WWL this last season and it looked like he died five years ago and somebody forgot to tell him.
Not only that, but everytime I see him or hear him, it sounds like he just guzzled half a bottle of scotch. So, take what he says with a HUGE grain of salt.
exactly. after all how many heisman's did ron powlus end up with ?
And that's based on...?
I think what he's saying is that there's no possible way that UM opens up in the next five years.
I'd tend to agree, barring some huge scandal.
Just sayin...
Could we call it the robocalypse?
No.
Edited to add the /s tag for those who think I'd be a dick to Captain, which I wouldn't.
I'm headed to A2 when the first sign of these shenanigans starts happening. I'm covering myself in Maize and Navy and seeking protection from the Michigan Robot.
I feel like this is a movie/comic book. But then the bad robots won't listen and we're fucked, barring an epic battle waged by the good ones.
If the robots look anything like the three robots pictured under my MGoBlog user name, well, sign me up for some serious robo-abuse!!!!
The walls are closing in!

give me a lucy liu-bot any day!!!!

Even if ESPN does rate him at only #2, yes.

or Bono
"lack of institutional control" which the may very well get the NCAA has to clear any hires made by the program. How sweet would it be if Tre$$ got canned and the NCAA wouldnt allow them to hire Myer. I knowits a dream but damn what a fun dream that would be!
Please leave the dollar signs off. We try to be better than that as a blog. I don't want to post Brians guidelines because they're long enough to derail a short thread like this, but try to keep that in mind.
I get slammed for using $ instead of a s because "we are better than that" then what do you say about Brian comments on the front page "Also if you would talk to God about lightening up on the safties now that would be good" about a former player that just died ?
A) Yea, saying "Tre$$" makes you look dumb. End of discussion. MGoBlog tries to be more than that. That's why our discussion boards are exponentially better than ESPN or RCMB or wherever else that kind of stuff is considered funny.
B) It's Brian's blog. If you don't like what he has to say, you can stop giving him your business by not clicking on the site, or not clicking on the ads. Otherwise, you can email him and hope he takes what you say to heart.
get off your high hor$e. By the way I remember a post here a few days ago with MANY posters saying how awesome a shirt was that has Tre$$el on it. You may not like it and thats fine,you dont speak for everyone and neither do I.
I have no interest in getting into a flame-war with you. This will be my last post about it, but I can tell you definitively that this is the way things are done here. Brian's take on it:
Stupid, juvenile nicknames
Most relevant to Michigan fans is the infamous "scUM," but this idiocy affects many fan bases. Any "State" school is liable to find a dollar sign replacing the S in their abbreviation. In a rush to damn the NCAA people will completely disregard the fact that "NCAA" doesn't have any S's in it and go ahead and make the same swap anyway. Penn State gets called "State Penn" whenever a player gets drunk and frisky. Morons spell out "University of Spoiled Children" over and over again to display their disdain for USC.
EXAMPLE
"scUM and the University of Spoiled Children are playing in the Ro$e Bowl because the NC$$ needs the money."
DIAGNOSIS
This person is a moron who is under the erroneous impression that he is being funny, like that one uncle who tells the same joke every Thanksgiving for 30 years. This affliction is always, always a sign that you can safely ignore anything the person says, as they are either twelve or have Down's Syndrome.
CURE
Insert bullet travelling at extremely high velocity into skull.
SUSCEPTIBLE FANBASES
Most common with universities best described as "technically not high school" or fanbases in areas where there is no pro alternative. Obviously, then, this is an absolute plague amongst OSU fans, and is rampant at MSU as well.
EXCEPTIONS
"tOSU" is permissible to use in a slightly disdainful fashion since OSU fans tend to use it themselves.
ANY poster on here lecturing on etiquette is nothing but a pretentious wind-douche-bag.
Lighten up. If Michigan fans had to stop calling people petty and infantile names, Michigan Blogosphere would cease to exist.
No, this is a categorically false statement. MLive, Rivals, Scout, DetNews, ESPN's Michigan page- those are in the Michigan blogosphere, and certainly exist, and allow the type of juvenile douchebaggery that is "O$U." You have other options. Use them. That kind of shit didn't go on here, and would get people fisked by Brian- the "M$U" shit, and I'm fairly certain has gotten people banned.
It's the influx of people who I surmise used to/still do also populate those boards, which has happened here in the past...6-12 months, that has changed the ethos of the comments section. Which Brian acknowledged in his post Tuesday. And will lead to reinstituting negging. Which will be a great, great day.
If you think this is pretentious, you're right: It is. That's one of the things this blog was/still tries to be: too "pretentious" for the kind of juvenile shit that is okay on other blogs.
a sports blog that tries to be pretentious? there is so much wrong with admitting that. sports are supposed to be emotional, one of the best things about sports is talking shit and being emotional about a team you don't like
not really sure why anything needs to be said about downs syndrome, my brother has downs syndrome. 12 year old or a moron/douchebag/dumbass would be more acceptable, its not like they have a choice while people who are morons do
but said the hell with it. I just did it cause I get sick of some stupid cry baby posters on here. I dont care what people post on here and I think its funny how uptight some are on here.
Please stop commenting. In the past 4 months (since you joined) I don't think you've stated anything close to an intelligent point. Nice rant on the thread that had to be taken down yesterday, too.
This board is "better because we dont use M$U and O$u" but we will say shit and fuck all day long.By the way 98% of all the comments on here dont add anything but peoples opinions.
