1. Ohio State's football team had their picture taken
for the 2003 season WITHOUT CLARETT. Will their mythical title be, at the minimum, tarnished by scandal or out and out removed by NCAA fiat? Me thinks a hurricane is brewing in Columbus.

5. Speaking of scandal
Let's talk about those Miami teams of the mid-1980's...

6. Actually Miami's scandals were big time overblown
It wasn'ty until the nineties that Miami got busted and put on probation... That Fucking Dennis Erickson almost ruined Miami.

Now we're clean as a whistle thanks to Buth Davis... So..Time to go look at a team like the Buskeyes and ask why they have such a dimal graduation rate!

8. I can answer that
So..Time to go look at a team like the Buskeyes and ask why they have such a dimal graduation rate!

I can answer that in two words....

John Cooper

This guy nearly destroyed OSU football, and if he hadn't been such an amazing recruiter, he would have destroyed it.

When Robert Smith came out and said he'd been pressured NOT to go to a class because it interfered with a NON-mandatory practice, he should have FIRED the coach responsible. But he spun it to the media, made excuses, and Smith left for NFL fame.

And that was just a typical story with Cooper. Why they kept him on for so long will always baffle me.

As for Clarett, I'm stunned and confused....but I will say this. Jim Tressell is not screwing around on this one. He's put Clarett on the sidelines until he hears more about the details.

7. Hey now wait a second
You went away for a little while, so maybe there should be extra time tacked on. :-P

10. As the prime target
...and instigator...of the events that led to trumad's sig line (but Ohio Dem is the man who made the bet with trumad), I'd like to advocate against extra time being added on.

But we reserve the right to snicker and point at him whenever we see fit.
