Bill better not be screwing with us
August 19th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Let justice be done...and if it isn't then our biggest rival will be tainted for years.
August 20th, 2018 at 4:59 AM ^
Threadjack in progress... Found this little gem:
August 20th, 2018 at 5:11 AM ^
And this one, but it's more of an opinion piece...
August 20th, 2018 at 8:08 AM ^
Fingers crossed... Gene Smith may "retire" soon if he isn't fired along with Urban
August 20th, 2018 at 7:55 AM ^
Something tells me that Par The Course "sources" is the thread referenced by the OP. Doesn't seem like a credible site.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:33 AM ^
I don't disagree, but it seems to me that if OSU sources are either believing or reporting this story that they are feeling confident that it's true. Unless they're total douchebags....which, yeah is totally plausible as well.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:57 AM ^
It could all be the same "source" but it's interesting that all the rumors are that he's been fired. No rumors that he's been retained.
August 20th, 2018 at 9:24 AM ^
No rumors, but lots of speculation
August 20th, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
I've never come across this site but don't you find it odd that all articles posted on that site are written by "PTC Staff" and not one article has an actual name credited to the story? It seems to me if a site wants to be legit, they'd at the very least include the reporting writer's name. At this point they don't seem very credible.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
lol. Their BoT hasn't even met yet. They're required by law to give 24 hours notice to all of their meetings.
Guy is FOS.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
No idea if this guy is legit but it’s conceivable that a decision could be made before the meeting and the BoT just goes on to rubber-stamp it at the meeting itself.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
It's Ohio state law that matters, of course, but that would be a violation of the Open Meetings Act in California. New Mexico has a similar law so I'd be surprised if it was legal in Ohio for a public board to make decisions out of public view before going to a pubic meeting.
That said, this seems like it will probably be discussed in executive session (behind closed doors) since it concerns a personnel matter. Any vote on taking action would be in public. Again, Ohio law specifies procedures but that's the way it generally works.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
Well of course they would still officially vote on the decision at the meeting. But I could believe that the actual debate on his future will take place (or may have already happened) behind closed doors - especially if the investigation turned up still more ugly details.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:42 PM ^
Yes, in executive session after the meeting has been called to order. On something this important to rabid fans I doubt they would violate an open meeting law and make a determination before the meeting. On the other hand, they are Buckeyes.
August 20th, 2018 at 7:50 AM ^
The BoT isn't going to be making any decision other than: do we approve the president's recommendation regarding Meyer, or do we start looking for a new president?
August 20th, 2018 at 12:08 PM ^
Wasn't Gordon Gee more concerned that Tressel would fire him than the other way around? Any reason to believe things in Columbus are any different now? My money says Drake is gone by Tuesday afternoon and not Urbz.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:42 PM ^
I'm not at all sure I would trust that guy, but 3 members of the committee are on the board of trustees. If their report is damning enough, they all know what the board will recommend before the rest of them have even seen it.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:42 AM ^
Also seems like since a large part of the investigation was likely for Ohio State to know if they could fire Meyer with cause and win any sort of incoming lawsuit, that knowledge would all be known prior to any sort of meeting. If the majority of the board knows they can defend themselves against a lawsuit, then the meeting and actual recommendation to fire becomes pretty straightforward.
I mean, its not like they're going to pass out the report at the meeting, give everyone an hour to read and process, and then hold a discussion about it before voting.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
And the law requires you to register as a sex offender, but that didn't work.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:54 PM ^
It's pretty clear from this post that it's all unofficial at the moment. I used to work for the government and had to work closely with three different boards, including the Washtenaw County board of commissioners. Decisions get made all the time prior to actual meetings. Just because they haven't had a formal meeting doesn't mean they haven't made a decision on Meyer. I'm not saying one way or the other whether Bill is right but your comment doesn't invalidate it in the least.
August 19th, 2018 at 9:54 PM ^
heywood, speaking of someone who's credibility just might be suspect, have you taken a look at your sophomoric, misogynistic name? i mean, if that doesn't scream, 'listen to me, i'm the voice of reason', then what does?
August 19th, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Lol.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
If he's from Ohio, there's a significant possibility that Heywood is a family name passed on for generations.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
While it's not the most tasteful name, it's certainly not misogynistic. He could easily be talking about dude on dude blowing.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Then it’s misandric? But then again, no one gives a shit about that.
August 20th, 2018 at 12:28 AM ^
Agree that the name isn't misogynist per se. I think we can also agree that it is sophomoric.
August 20th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
LOL, no one appreciates humor anymore. Panties are all bunched up if we're getting outraged over something as insignificant as this.
August 20th, 2018 at 10:14 AM ^
That's quite a definition of outrage.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
You're back? I thought you were busy with your part time job - washing Meyer's balls.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:19 PM ^
Blow jobs get a bad rap. They should be considered a thing of beauty and an act of kindness.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
Totally agree. I wouldn’t marry a woman who doesn’t enjoy giving blowjobs.
August 20th, 2018 at 12:40 AM ^
Those things change after you get married.
August 20th, 2018 at 12:51 AM ^
No, those things changed after you got married.
August 20th, 2018 at 1:48 AM ^
Really, well then I'm sure you have a cooler he can borrow.
August 20th, 2018 at 2:03 AM ^
So...Urbz to ND next?
August 20th, 2018 at 7:19 AM ^
If this is true, I would bet that Meyer will have a head coaching job next year or, at the very latest, the year after. My prediction is the University of Illinois.
August 20th, 2018 at 7:58 AM ^
No way ... UCLA or USC. C'mon, it's obvious he needs to be in LA /s
Go Blue!
August 20th, 2018 at 9:00 AM ^
I assume you are kidding. No way Meyer would take on a team that wasn't stacked and couldn't win right away. That's the only reason he even considered OSU.
August 20th, 2018 at 12:14 PM ^
Brilliant!
August 20th, 2018 at 8:05 AM ^
And because nothing bad ever happens to OSU, they will announce that the NCAA has approved them for TWO head coaches: Pete Carroll and Nick Saban.
August 20th, 2018 at 10:09 AM ^
Actually the number is 3 - you forgot Belichick.
August 20th, 2018 at 9:22 AM ^
Nah... LSU.
August 20th, 2018 at 9:37 AM ^
Is countersource better than CounterStrike?
August 19th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
Let me talk to my guy Ted
August 19th, 2018 at 9:24 PM ^
Excellent
August 19th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
Sounds like a real adventure
August 20th, 2018 at 6:20 AM ^
Strange things are afoot...
