The Jim Tressel Thread

Post by go birds »

He didn't know what to do. What was he supposed to do?!?

Big Ten said they won't be stepping in either. I don't want to hear any talking heads speaking about the leniency of Bruce Pearls punishment anymore.

The Cam Newton thing amounted to zilch. Why should there be a story here?

Ohio State is about as untouchable as it gets. Nothing sticks to them.

Charles Robinson, one of the investigative reporters for Yahoo! Sports, was just interviewed on the Waddle and Silvie show on ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago. He stated that there are two additional high-profile stories he is working on, on which will break within the next few weeks and another that looks like it will break in August. Mr. Robinson was prodded fairly hard by Tom Waddle, but would not divulge any individual or institutional names. He was asked to rate the Tressel story on a scale of 1-10 scale, and gave it an 8. Mr. Robinson rated the story to be broken this month as a 6-7, and gave the late-summer story a 10-rating, without hesitation.

This ends any speculation that this was the "big one," even though most of us thought that already. And the plot thickens.....

I don't really feel like I need to say anything, but in case anyone has forgotten my stance on all this, I'll repeat it.

Who cares?

Well this topic was borne out of spite and bitterness.

Mainly because I'm a Tennessee fan and I'm tired of them being in the spotlight for violations and whatnot.

So, OSU is getting off scott free from NCAA. Sadly, predictable.

I guess I shouldn't care. Why even bother watching if the rules don't matter?

I guess I should take up the who cares attitude.
