OT: Herbstreit rips OSU, Tressel
Kirk Herbstreit is less than charitable to his alma mater. Even gets a genuinely nostalgic John Cooper reference in there.

What are the early odds on where Tressel coaches in 2012 if he's fired from OSU?

Hard to imagine him anywhere in 2012 if he gets fired for major violations, unless he wants to go a MAC or equivalent.
So as far as records go, if osu's 2010 season is "vacated" what does that mean? Do that mean that all of their games in 2010 are counted as losses to the teams that they played?

When Herbstreit sold his house, I had a feeling that he would eventually say something like this. He wouldn't be able to say this stuff if he still lived in Columbus. He is already persona non grata there for being overly critical of OSU on ESPN (in their eyes, at least).

The OSU fans I’ve encountered in my adventures tend to mostly be on the “eyes to the ground” and “mumble incoherently” side of things when discussing Tresselgate but, man, those with a less than firm grip on reality seem to have gone straight off the cliff. I recently had a pretty entertaining exchange with my father-in-law during which he told me that not only should Tressel not be punished but instead commended because of how he went above and beyond to “protect his players”. Also, apparently the whole thing was really just a farce after how RR “really got away with one”. After checking to make sure that there weren’t any hidden cameras and Kelso from the 70s show wasn’t around the corner I quietly excused myself, not wanting to further contribute to the mental deterioration of another human being.
