Had no idea. Wonder why they don't get shut down.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:40 PM ^
Because they pay, pay pay the local authorities.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Since you asked, locations often do get shut down but are run by criminal organizations so closing the doors to one parlor just means they move the women to another location. It’s a lot of work for law enforcement to even get close to these groups let alone prove felonies in court without sending a trafficked woman to prison for prostitution. Plus, if the estimates are correct that it’s a $2.5 billion annual industry in America alone, there’s probably a number of bribes and things making it even harder to prosecute. Best approach thus far seems to be making laws that make it harder to open a small business but obviously that is a whole other set of problems for the economy.

As the great urban philosopher Young Jeezy once stated “If you get jammed up, don’t mention my name!”. Straight sucka move by Zach Smith.
November 11th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
Forget the coaching ban - the guy will never have a friend again. Selling out a guy on public twitter AND jacking up his wife as well just put Zach into permanent isolation for life.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
Given the quote and scenario you laid out, wouldn’t Tom Herrman be considered the snitch? I mean Zach Smith is not being forced to divulge any of these accusations and therefore wouldn’t say he’s “jammed”.
November 11th, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
It kinda already did get really ugly. OSU under rug swept.
November 11th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
Where’s the buckeye slappy who commented about Grant Perry’s “felony” yesterday? The view from my high horse is that Urban and all he enables is a cesspool. Cheers!
November 11th, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
That was quite the show lol
November 11th, 2018 at 9:01 PM ^
Scorched Earth lol.....
November 11th, 2018 at 9:03 PM ^
Zach Smith needs to call that fake doctor from the Addiction Network
November 11th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Lololol that commercial is VERY CREEPY!!! Call. Today. Zach.
November 12th, 2018 at 12:03 PM ^
his name is Dr. Barry McCockiner
November 11th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
Not 100% sure but I think Zach Smith doesn't like Tom Herman.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
So when his black out clears, will there be a "my account was hacked" tweet.
Oh yeah, the dude literally posted a screenshot of a text converstion he sent to Tom H.
This is epic.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Judging from his temperament on Twitter I don't think he leaves a shadow of a doubt that he engaged in spousal abuse.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
To be fair Zach and Tom were probably the homiest of homies when they worked together. They seem cut from the same cloth. Think it was two weeks in row here recently that the stadiums Herman was coaching in were lucky he didn't have an AR15 strapped to him because he was ready to go Vegas on people.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
I feel like Urban created this monster.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
Well he certainly enabled him. This kind of behavior starts in adolescence though.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:34 PM ^
What a show. He’s still going at it.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
With more to come apparently.
November 12th, 2018 at 4:57 AM ^
November 11th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
Zach Smith = Tommy DeVito
November 11th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Poor guy. There is nothing funny when a grown adult man with young kids acts like this. I hope he gets the treatment he needs. Most likely, other members of his family will need help as well after all is said and done. What a sad situation.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
How can somebody have so little self-awareness after being disgraced for over a month by every national sports media outlet? I mean after the dust settled (quickly glossed over by OSU and UMeyer) he had the perfect chance to fade away into douchey-loser oblivion. Doesn’t sound like Tom H is a great guy either but this vendetta doesn’t have to be this public.
November 11th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Time to start working on refining all of the media questions for Urban Meyer for the week of The Game.
"Coach Meyer... given that sex toys were being delivered to the OSU athletic offices did you also know your staff was getting happy endings on recruiting trips? Were any of these expenses reimbursed by OSU?"
"If I could follow up... could you remind us what the core values of your program are and whether they have changed in light of recent events?
"Coach Meyer, have you ever visited an Asian Massage Parlor on a recruiting trip?"
"Coach Meyer, could you describe the role of recruiting girls and are they involved in OSU recruiting?"
"Coach Meyer, does OSU offer IT classes in how to erase records from electronic devices? Do you think it would be useful to have this as mandatory training for your coaching staff?"
November 11th, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
Urban Meyer Core Values...
DECISIONS
LIE?
TREAT WOMEN WITH ABUSE OR PAY THEM FOR SEX?
DRUGS?
STEALING?
WEAPONS?
WHICH SHOULD I PICK TO WIN THE MOST GAMES?
WHEN I'M CAUGHT SHOULD I PLAY THE VICTIM?
WHICH DATA DELETION METHOD IS MOST COMPREHENSIVE?
... I can't decide. It's making my head hurt.
November 11th, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
Oh, he still going.... getting into the Tom Herman snorting coke off strippers’ chests details now...
November 11th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
yessssssss
November 11th, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
I had to go eat dinner and I missed this...bring out ALL the dirt, Zach
November 11th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Is anyone else beginning to like this guy, just a little bit?
November 11th, 2018 at 11:40 PM ^
absolutely not
November 11th, 2018 at 10:39 PM ^
I don’t speak twitter but I think there is a guy claiming Zach Smith stole Urban Meyers son in laws text messages. Can someone interpret please?
November 11th, 2018 at 10:40 PM ^
Herman doesn't seem to worried about the shit ZS is spewing.
November 11th, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
Not until Tejas fires his ass.
Smith claims to have pics (and probably has some sort of proof) well, he’s straight drunk and crazy enough to air all the dirty laundry.
However, Smith does seem loyal to Meyer, even if he’s got dirt on him too.
November 11th, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
Smith just agreed to talk to Dan Dakich on Tuesday at 1pm. Let's see if that holds tomorrow.
November 11th, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
Dan Dakich is having him on his show this week!!!! YO!!! Should be interesting!!
November 11th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
That can’t be good for recruiting
November 12th, 2018 at 2:45 AM ^
Hookers and blow...? Works for some, definitely works for some.
November 12th, 2018 at 11:34 AM ^
Hell, even if I'm a really bad parent, I wouldn't want my kind wrapped up in whatever crap is going on in Columbus.
That place is chaos.
There are too many other good options.
November 11th, 2018 at 11:53 PM ^
Even cash passed under the table can purchase a case of natty light.
November 11th, 2018 at 11:56 PM ^
This has to be a big reason Urban looks the way he looks. Hard to sleep soundly when a guy like this knows where the bodies are buried.
November 12th, 2018 at 12:05 AM ^
Ok, ok, ok guys. Here’s the plan, we set up a GoFundMe site for booze for Zach Smith. Once totally hammered, we can finally get all the dirt on Meyers OSU’s regents swept under the rug.
November 12th, 2018 at 12:29 AM ^
No, we should be buying him some coffee and introducing him to a therapist.
Zach is what he is, but the fact that Urban Meyer clearly knew what this guy was like and provided cover (at Courtney Smith's expense) should be all the dirt that is really needed. It's like watching an arsonist play with gasoline and matches and closing the office door and saying nothing to see here.
November 12th, 2018 at 4:58 AM ^
Why is the arsonist in an office setting? Further yet, did he just walk in with gasoline all nonchalant? Also who would stand there and watch him play with those things together? There’s a lot of holes in your hypothetical analogy.
November 12th, 2018 at 8:45 AM ^
That’s his point, man. No one would just let an arsonist play with matches and gasoline. He’s making the point that a decent human being should stop a person who is clearly troubled and self-destructive, rather than ignoring them and saying “not my problem.” I don’t think it’s a perfect analogy but I get what he’s trying to say.
November 12th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
The subtle exchange of two adults pretending not to know what is happening...
November 12th, 2018 at 1:17 AM ^
I wonder how this dude is going to react when he realizes no one gives a crap that Tom Herman cheats on his wife and likes the happy ending. Unless he has some evidence of him cheating with subordinates, students, etc. nobody will care.
I would be concerned if I was Tom Herman about Zach Smith doing something really crazy once this Twitter tirade has no effect. Might be time to get a restraining order a keep Austin PD on the look out.
