Yeah, looked at some of his posts, he's just a troll. I mean he could be right in this case, but its not like he's Adam Schefter. Other poster seemed legit though.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
Makes sense that this is where the story would break.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
I mean, he's not wrong.
Bill is Bill Jones, Associate AD for External Relations.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
According to Google, Bill Jones, former Associate AD for External Relations, passed away in 2012. So unless Bill is providing information from beyond the grave I don't think it's him.
(and if this was a joke then I completely missed it)
August 20th, 2018 at 12:31 AM ^
Not too much of a stretch. My source for insider Michigan info is Fielding Yost. You'd be surprised how up-to-date he is on stuff for a guy that's been dead a long time.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
Is it weird that I read it as " guy not playing counter strike"... and I immediately discredited the source
August 19th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
I'll believe it when I see it happen. The investigative committee is completing their report and I thought the BoT was going to be meeting about it during the week with a 24 hour public notice.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
The way large organizations work, meetings like that are often just for show. Whatever his fate, I suspect the board will pretty much know by the time they meet. I don’t think they’re actually going to debate it out at the meeting.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:21 AM ^
jmblue - I agree mostly, but they'll at least have a summary discussion so it can be reflected in the board meeting minutes, even if the decision has been made behind the scenes or at the water cooler.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:55 PM ^
3 members of the investigative committee are on the board. Nothing will be official until after their meeting and Drake's decision, but they could already know which way it's going to go.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
I’ll believe it when I see it... #sources
August 19th, 2018 at 10:20 PM ^
Bull shit. There is no way that university has enough integrity to do that. They’re the Alabama of the north when it comes to caring about wins more than anything.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
If Urbz and OSU part ways there is already a plan in place to bring in Stoops, may be as early as the 3rd game. For some reason I think the BoT will keep Urbz.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
No way. Maybe they could hire him for 2019 but they are not bringing in an outsider at this late date.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:02 PM ^
I'd rather have to face Stoops year after year compared to Urban.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:19 PM ^
That's ridiculous. The theory is that Day is being given a chance to audition for the job if Meyer is let go. Maybe they'll go after Stoops, but I doubt there is any seriousness to that rumor that they've already decided on him as plan B.
And if it's true, that would be fine with me. That's like getting Lloyd Carr for the 2nd half of his head coaching career.
August 20th, 2018 at 12:16 AM ^
Good! Stoops is nowhere near urban level. That program will take a step back if he's the guy
August 20th, 2018 at 8:51 AM ^
Also, why would Stoops leave retirement to enter that pressure cooker?
August 20th, 2018 at 12:11 PM ^
Bob seems like a guy who wants to enjoy the rest of his life without a high pressure job like coaching OSU football. Good for him for getting out while he has plenty of years left. Some guys just don't know when to quit or want to coach until they're 80+. That's insane.
August 20th, 2018 at 5:49 AM ^
Lol.
August 20th, 2018 at 9:02 AM ^
I suspect Bill will not be the law in cbus.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
I’ve read thru a bunch of comments on this thread. All I can say is I hope it’s true. Gosh I hope it’s true. Can’t stand the guy.
August 20th, 2018 at 9:48 AM ^
You can't stand him because you can't beat him. Just like I can't stand Desmond and Charles.
August 20th, 2018 at 10:00 AM ^
Nah. It's because he pretends like he's some good family man guy, but he slept with co-eds and kept all kinds of low lifes around in Gainesville and now he covered up for Zach Smith for years. He's not a good guy. And even worse he's a not-good guy pretending to be a good guy. I'm wondering if he'll start having heart trouble again sometime soon...
August 19th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
Drake passed the buck to the Regents vote, which washes his hands of it, and now it'll be viewed as anonymous, if, say the vote was 5 vs 3... nobody will know the 3 yes votes... so I won't be surprised if this is true....
August 19th, 2018 at 11:38 PM ^
There are 20 Board members, so a 5-3 vote would be odd.
The point of my snark is that we keep viewing this situation from our own shoes. (The other misconception is that the Board has to answer to the voters. They don’t. The Governor appoints them.)
It’s quite possible that the Trustees actually take their roles seriously (unlike at say, MSU) and Meyer will be shown the door. I’m not holding my breath, but I’m not ruling it out either. Time will tell.
August 20th, 2018 at 7:26 AM ^
You’re going by that tweet, which is not consistent with the statement OSU put out.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
I’ll believe it when I see it. My belief is that they’re keeping him until something official comes out saying otherwise.
August 19th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
Was it Uncle Bill? What did Mr. French have to say about this?
August 19th, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
He said that he wasn't going to let Mrs. Beasley anywhere near Columbus, OH.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:36 AM ^
Man, that is reaching WAY back....well done.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:18 PM ^
Too good to be true.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:49 PM ^
Thanks. I needed a good laugh.
August 19th, 2018 at 11:57 PM ^
Countersource? What is it, and how do you know Bill isn't playing it?
August 19th, 2018 at 11:59 PM ^
I don't believe it. But if it gives Buckeye fans a sleepless night ahead, more power to the random guy who's source is a counter source of a source...or however that goes.
August 20th, 2018 at 5:52 AM ^
No sleepless night here. What ever happens happens.
August 20th, 2018 at 7:52 AM ^
You're just waking up before 6 a.m. to check a rivals board... Got it.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:51 AM ^
This. Lol
August 20th, 2018 at 10:00 AM ^
Have you seen Wyandot county? What else are you gonna do in that shithole?
August 20th, 2018 at 12:28 AM ^
August 20th, 2018 at 10:18 AM ^
Bet on it!
August 20th, 2018 at 8:02 AM ^
By "Let go", they mean he'll not be allowed to coach the first play of the first non-conference game.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:17 AM ^
I need more information on your source.
August 20th, 2018 at 8:41 AM ^
Counterstrike guy takes off mask, it’s umbig11, takes off mask again, it’s Sam Webb
August 20th, 2018 at 9:00 AM ^
And he would’ve gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you snooping kids and your dog!
August 20th, 2018 at 9:38 AM ^
Actually, he takes off his mask and we see Jeff Snook, who then takes off his mask and reveals himself as Snoke, who then reveals himself as Darth Plagueis, who then reveals himself as James Earl Jones. Boom!
