Trouble for OSU football?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:13 PM ^
Interesting. Any possible rumors out there as to what this could be about?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
What is it usually about? Gettin' high, man. The drugs.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
From random poster on osu247 site.
Heard this yesterday but didn't want to post anything. His parents were in town to have a lengthy meeting with Urban and Gene Smith. As far as what I was told, his Ohio State career is more than likely over.
Then a mod posted this:
Steve H. first heard something last night as did Duane about Spence but we have been working to verify things to see what is true and what is BS. Right now all we have is that there certainly seems to be something in terms of disciplinary/violation of team rules.
We want to report FACTS though and not BS so please bare with us as we try to get this one right and not first. I'm sure other sites are doing the same and the story should come one way or another.
I guess right now the thing to know is that there seems to be something and that it's not complete BS. Not sure it's a season-ending deal or maybe just a couple games or nothing at all but we shall see soon enough.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
I won't rule it out, but honestly...how many of us would be less than surprised that a violation of team rules ends with him missing a few games and is back playing? If its more serious, then yeah okay, possibly over. But I'm with everyone else to sit by and watch what happens.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:59 PM ^
but I'm happy our Mods have better writing skills than to use "BS" roughly once per paragraph.
September 12th, 2014 at 4:04 PM ^
Please bare with us

Amirite?

To be fair, of course, we do occasionally throw the odd black tie dinner around here as well, but the problem that we've found is that often people will show up in a black tie and nothing else....well, wingtips as well on occasion. All very tasteful, of course. It's just another thing that separates us from other blogs, right?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:14 PM ^
how credible is "BuckeyeEmpire"?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
September 12th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
September 12th, 2014 at 6:33 PM ^
Yes. In the law we call that an "admission against interest." It is likely true or one wouldn't admit it.
Assuming this guy knows what he's talking about of course...
September 12th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
but his website seems like the wet dream of a 14-year old Ohio St. fan and programmer from the 90s.

I am Buckeye empire!! I did not want it to come out like this.
And stop ragging on my website dude.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:54 PM ^
use of "bear with us", alum96/Buckeye empire. Jeesh!
September 12th, 2014 at 4:00 PM ^
i was expecting geocities. So, to assuage my disappointment, this is what I was hoping to see:

I little off topic but where is Terrelle Pryor playing these days? Actually it is not that off topic...seriously want to know though
September 12th, 2014 at 3:21 PM ^
Yep - by the Seahawks...
September 12th, 2014 at 3:23 PM ^
He's not. The Seahawks cut him.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:28 PM ^
Add him to the list of failed OSU QB's.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:18 PM ^
Scuttlebutt over there indiciates a possible failed drug test. All rumors of course, but they think he's done at OSU
September 12th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
Maybe done at OSU, but drug tests aren't a big deal at MSU. Besides, we're talking about a playmaker, right?
September 12th, 2014 at 4:13 PM ^

September 12th, 2014 at 4:28 PM ^
Didn't he get his NCAA penalty for a failed drug test reduced because "somebody must have slipped something in my drink" I don't do drugs? Weren't his parents right there backing him up on the claim? Are we starting to see OSU trend toward Urb's Florida teams when it comes to all the off the field stuff?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:19 PM ^
I'm sure their legendary compliance department has this thouroughly documented and is handling the situation.
September 12th, 2014 at 4:32 PM ^
Of course. What luck this kid has. Having ecstasy slipped into your drink not once, but twice?!?!

So, a tweet from god knows who, with no named reliable source, and that contains very little info as to the who (besides assumptions), the what, and the why. While this could end up getting interesting, until there's something more solid, lest we want to turn this into baseless rumors, this thread needs to...
Edit: LSA's elaborating comment just made it a little more interesting. By the power invested in me by absolutely no one...
September 12th, 2014 at 3:19 PM ^
I have little knowledge of Buckeye Empire, but from a brief poking about, it is unremarkable as fan blogs go. In any case, there is a lot of chatter on Twitter - so take it for what you will - that Noah Spence might have failed a subsequent drug test after serving a suspension, at least that is what it sounds like right now.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
I forgot about the last suspension. That was the one where the family was going to sue the B1G because he claimed someone put drugs in his drink, right?
September 12th, 2014 at 3:21 PM ^
If true it may get reported to the NCAA after the bowl season.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:39 PM ^
Popcorn anyone?
EDIT: Take a look on this thread on Eleven Warriors: http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/ohio-state-football/2014/09/40349/n…;
There seems to have been some kind of post on the Buckeyes Scout.com site that is leading to the speculation about Noah Spence.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:21 PM ^
Of course they have trouble coming: it's called the goddamn Michigan Wolverines coming to town on 11/29/2014! We. Will. Smoke. The. Buckeyes. I. Repeat. We. Will. Smoke. The. Buckeyes!
September 12th, 2014 at 3:56 PM ^
September 12th, 2014 at 3:50 PM ^
OSU is long long long long long overdue.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:34 PM ^
More like 3D popcorn
September 12th, 2014 at 3:29 PM ^
urban meyer to FOX football analyst position.
Cites wanting to spend more time with family.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:33 PM ^
so easy to cheat that it's a wonder anyone ever fails these things.
Let me guess, the subsequent tests when you come back from being suspended are much harder to cheat than the in season ones.
As is bowl testing, where he actually got caught.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
This gif is absolutely mesmerising and I don't know why.
September 12th, 2014 at 3:41 PM ^
its because the girl doesn't blink...I'm staring just waiting for her to do so...
September 12th, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
and the ears....
