Those two listings you are taking such clever jabs at happen to have been mine. I stumbled across your asinine post recently while doing a search, so I thought I would register on this site and offer a rebuttle.
As it happens, I added the "THESE PANTS WERE ACQUIRED FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY AND WILL INCLUDE A COPY OF THE BILL OF SALE FROM OHIO STATE'S ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT." simply becasue I had gotten questions from a few people asking how I obtained the items. They did not question if they were legitimately obtained, but, I'm failrly certain you're not the only simpleton out there making assumptions to that end. Sure, it was conspicuously stated. Why do you think I used all caps moron? That was my intent. To try to make it obvious to speculative idiots like yourself.
Like most big time football programs (including Michigan), Ohio State sells off game used and autographed memorabilia via their online store as well as through auctions that they hold. That is how I obtained those pants as well as the item you mentioned on Craigslist. Not via some shady back-alley deal as you would like to imply. There is a HUGE difference between someone like myself who purchase items through legal, legitimate channels and the people who circumvent or just flat out break NCAA rules. Apparently, you aren't bright enough to make that distinction for yourself, so I have to waste time drawing you a picture.
It's sad really that people like you have to take what used to be the best rivalry in college football & turn it into what it has now become. During my days as a player, we were enemies on the field certainly, but we left it there and shook hands afterwards. As an undergraduate student/athlete, I dated a girl who was a student at Michigan. I was able to walk around with her wearing my OSU letter jacket and not have a sngle rude comment, gesture or the like cast in my direction. Everyone I met whenever I'd visit campus could not have been nicer to me.
I sincerely hope that you are not an accuarate representation of the Michigan fan base. It wasn't until I started reading fan blogs that I Fans like you and OSU fans as well (they are just as much to blame) take the rivalry way too far. You are all are an embarrassment to not only both schools, but to our conference and to the sport as well.
I'm sure that you like so many of your idiot peers think a win vactated on paper is a win that never happened. I was there, however and know different, Just like you do in places deep down that you don't like to talk about at parties. You can quote Officer Barbrady from South Park until you're BLUE in the face. The fact that you experienced a good old fashioned ass whipping will not change.
Even if your team does manage to beat us this year, wouldn't it be a rather hollow victory? With no Terrell Pryor, no Coach Tressel, with all the problems OSU has had in the offseason & so far during it? I think any true fan would agree that while it would be great to get the first victory over Ohio State since 2003, it would be much sweeter to be the victor's when the opposistion was at full strength and at it's best.
I'm sure we haven't hear the last of player's selling off their personal items...it's a slap in the face to those of us who wear with pride our championship rings & gold pants. But, in the end I still have my 2002 Big-Ten and BCS National Championship rings, my 2005 and 2006 Big-Ten Championship rings and 4 pairs of gold pants.
