[Sirhouseman]

Per ESPN. Wow. What do they do this late in the Spring? Interim?

Look for Urban Meyer and Mark Dantonio to be the leading candidates to get the job.

Interim is what Robert Smith just said.

 

[Sirhouseman]

Yup. Named Luke Fickle (sp?), co-defensive coordinator as interim.

 

[cibula11]

When asked about who he (Robert Smith) would like as coach, he mentioned Urban Meyer.

Coincidence that tomorrow is when Sports Illustrated is supposed to drop the hammer on OSU with an article from a Pulitzer Prize winner that has been snooping around Columbus?

Tressel is a dirtbag.

This is huge for you guys. Huge.

Head on over to the Scout OSU board. I cant believe how many people still defend Tressel and talk like he is the most honorable man in college football.

I was just over there too. It was pretty sad.

It will be interesting to see what goes down with the 5 suspended players?? Not too many options left.

They will never change their minds.

Maybe Iowa can get some 4 and 5 stars out of Ohio the next 3 or 4 years?

 

[Section136]

Patiently waiting for Fufred.

Also patiently waiting for that article to be released by SI tomorrow. I have a feeling that is going to be huge.

Ditto. I couldn't get past this without laughing out loud. Talk about clueless.

"In a way, College Football is not good enough for a quality man like Jim Tressel."

Or there are some blaming the players for "taking him down." Ummm, last time I checked he is the one that chose to play last year (and probably previous years) with ineligible players and then put his signature on a blatant lie to the NCAA.

"In a way, College Football is not good enough for a quality man like Jim Tressel."

That was also my favorite.

Anyone care to bet that Pryor and company put their names in the supplemental draft? It would not surprise me the least with Tressel resigning.

Judging by the message board reaction (and we all know that is the best way to gauge things ), they may get run outta town like Herbstreit did before their 5 games are up.

Wow. They are delusional as all get out. Media witch hunt? Give me a break.

 

[fufred]

This doesn't surprise me that much. I mentioned the SI article a week ago, we knew that would be bad. I'll miss JT but OSU will go on, they are bigger than any 1 coach. Urban in 2012....
