I was just about to post this as well. His mom has posted on her fb page as well. Anger issues run in the family ?

Holy shit, that post from Earl Bruce's daughter is fucking bananas. Terrible look for her. I live in Columbus, and can tell you this is the person everyone is basing their "two sides to every story" argument on.
August 30th, 2018 at 9:31 AM ^
You have Earl Bruce's daughter arguing with Courtney's Grandma.
Grandma - "I'm sure you didn't live with them and actually know if he abused her. That is the only way you could know for sure."
Bruce - "I know your granddaughter and what she did to me and in front of me and I know my son. I know all I need to know - and so do you."
Grandma - "Just knowing her doesn't mean these things didn't happen."
Bruce - "Oh stop. She doesn’t speak to you to this day because she is and has been mentally off for a longtime... but you want to write her narrative? Take her side? Noted. Just remember this Gram. You know better as do I. Just like you said when you brought the applesauce and goulash to my house."
From,
You know who wrote this."

Was trying to write that Lorenzo tweeted this and it's freaking hilarious.

Where's the manifesto/melt down Forde is referring to?
August 29th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
Wait, what did Forde’s tweet have to do with MSU? I’m so confused by that reaponse. Have the OSU and MSU fanbases joined together in a partnership of awfulness?
August 29th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
Forde's four-part preview column highlighted MSU (amongst others) as a team that needs to "temper expectations" for the upcoming season. Hence, all Sparty fans are mad at him now.
(To be fair, being mad at Forde isn't exactly unique to MSU or any one fanbase -- the guy is kind of a stooge.)
August 29th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
What does it say about Michigan that the two most psychotic fanbases in America both consider us their number one rival?
August 29th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
We really need to rethink our position in all of this. Might be time to pack up and make new enemies
August 29th, 2018 at 4:33 PM ^
I've been saying this for a while now.
I'd rather not have a tradition with rapists/molesters/wife beaters. But I don't load the money cannons so it makes it none of my business apparently.
August 29th, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
I'm glad you don't have a say in any of this. It's a stupid fucking idea to stop playing OSU or MSU. I can't stand this pompous attitude. I hate to keep saying this but hoke covered up a god damn rape and played Gibbons for years and then lied to everyone about it. That just doesn't seem to bother people though. All schools have players and peole that do bad teams. If everyone took this attitude, no teams would play each other. We'd be too busy pretending we're perfect and everyone else is a mess. Zach Smith is a piece of shit but he's been fired. Should Urban have been fired? I don't know but it's over. Let's get off our high horse and just beat them on the field. Seriously, of all the hot takes on this board, the pompous bullshit drives me crazy.
August 29th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
Hoke covered up a rape? He didn't tell the media he was kicked out of school for title ix when asked because he was not allowed, but to say he covered up a rape...kill yourself.
August 30th, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
Brady Hoke got fired. Not the same response to a bad situation.
August 30th, 2018 at 9:39 AM ^
Hoke didn't get fired for Gibbons. He got fired because he was utterly incompetent as a head coach and the Shane Morris thing was the real kicker.
August 30th, 2018 at 11:49 AM ^
The incident happened in 2009. Hoke wasn't hired until 2011.
August 29th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
Coudn't agree more. Lets join Texas and The Sooners and blow this pop stand. Delaney, Ped St., Moo, Ohio. Enough is enough. It's an ugly look for Michigan being associated with these cooler poopers.
August 29th, 2018 at 3:43 PM ^
Illinois and Minnesota also consider us their main rivals....
August 29th, 2018 at 4:00 PM ^
Don't forget Rutger and The Order of The Bulls Blood
August 29th, 2018 at 4:10 PM ^
At Irishenvy, Notre Dame's fanbase has a running thread from the Hoke years that allows them to vent their hate of Michigan.
The only Irish Envy I have ever seen is their envy of our academics and social scene. Most overrated school in the country...
August 29th, 2018 at 3:51 PM ^
Ya know, rebuilding that rivalry with the University of Chicago seems like a great idea at the moment.
August 29th, 2018 at 6:28 PM ^
I relate it to the Dark Knight. The part where Alfred says that the mob got hammered so hard for so long by Batman that they became crazy. They turned to and chose something they didn't understand for help. That being the Joker obviously but that's kind of what happened to those two football teams and it's Michigan's own fault. The Wolverines hammered their pathetic candy asses so hard and for so long that the programs and fans became corrupt and fucked in the head clowns. It's not apples to apples here but you see what I'm getting at.
August 29th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
This is perfect.
August 29th, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
OK alright already. Tomorrow when they are all assembled in the film room, ill drop down through the skylight, and proceed to beat the shit out of all of them.
It will look a little something like this.
August 29th, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
Damn Double Post. TWO FACE!!!!!!!
August 29th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
Looks like he used up all that hush money Ubz paid him on Hookers and blow...
Maybe the lid will blow off the whole shit mess today.
August 29th, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
Smith tweeted that he hopes Urban was basically forced to read the statement that he made at the press conference. Basically implying that Urban doesn't believe Zach did anything wrong and he's just being forced to read statements by PR people. Either way this isn't going to go well for Urban now. He's either going to have to say he believes Zach was wrong and his statement holds true or Zach was right. If he says Zach is wrong, which is the only thing anyone at OSU is going to let him say, then Smith might just go off on Urban. As it is, I think Smith believes Urban thinks he's a choir boy.
August 29th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
That lawyer, that sent 2 women to his house for 4 hours to sanitize his phone, probably has Urbz under a gag order. The only way this could get worse for OSU is for someone from OSU to acknowledge it. Mums the fucking word.
August 29th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
There are other people on twitter with the last name Smith doing the same thing. I assume they are family members of his.
August 29th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
Smithes be crazy
August 29th, 2018 at 3:09 PM ^
Smithes be trippin’
August 29th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
Smiths asking why can’t they get what they want.......
August 29th, 2018 at 3:15 PM ^
Smiths would go out tonight, but they haven't got a stitch to wear.
Zach Smith is the son and heir of nothing in particular.
August 29th, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
Dear El Jeffe,
Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke. Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke. Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke. Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke. Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke. Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke. Don't make a "Girlfriend in a Coma" joke.
Love,
El Jeffe

Is it just me or does that album cover look just like Urban eating his loss pizza?
August 29th, 2018 at 5:03 PM ^
"I wonder if the Borens are hiring."
August 29th, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
Good eye!
August 29th, 2018 at 10:50 PM ^
But they do make a good cough drop
August 29th, 2018 at 3:30 PM ^
Like they say, Smiths gonna Smith.
August 29th, 2018 at 5:51 PM ^
Smiths gonna smith
August 29th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
Let us all remember that Zach Smith can be a complete monster AND OSU/Meyer (and to a lesser extent UF) can be guilty of not properly handling him for years. I worry people will look at him being a certifiable asshole and absolve OSU because of it, and that shouldn't happen.
August 29th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
Wrong. The crazier he looks, the more obvious it becomes that this guy was protected. Impossible to work with a guy for 10 years and not come in contact with this level of crazy. Plus, Urbz no longer even contests this point. Remember, he was aware, but not fully aware.
The only question remaining is why this level of crazy and incompetence was being protected for over a decade. I am thinking it goes beyond loyalty to grandpa. Urbz’ survival instincts are way more finely honed than that.
August 29th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
It's possible to hide a legacy hire in any organization and keep him marginalized as long as he doesn't create problems. But the "crazy" eventually found a way to circumvent Columbus-area police and local media.
August 29th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
He was aware but forgot that he was aware.
August 29th, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
I don't get that.
A major NCAA violation is lack of institutional control. How can they claim institutional control when the coach can't remember basic things??
August 29th, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
I think you’re missing the joke...
August 29th, 2018 at 3:27 PM ^
I'd like to believe that is the case, but a couple weeks ago that Arizona LB was talking about Jimbo breaking a huge number of NCAA rules wrt recruiting, and after it came out he was a racist and kicked out of Arizona, basically nothing has or will come of it.
Smith was always a time-bomb that I figured Meyer assumed would blow up later than he did.
