He's gone

Submitted by Blue Ballin' on

He's gone. With the other issues OSU's Athletic Department is having, to just sweep it under the rug would leave the school looking like they aren't serious about doing the right thing. It's also the type of thing that, if taken lightly by the school, would be brought up regularly by some opponents and their fan bases, as well as the Fourth Estate. I can just see the signs in the background on Game Day whenever OSU plays a big game on the road. If the school wants to look like they're not as dirty as Urban, they need to dump him...soon.

I doubt it. Columbus is an incestuous cesspool ruled by Buckeye football. They will go all out to protect their own interests

Oof. I'm on the fence...  I think status quo what's out there publicly, he stays and Gene gone.  HOWEVER.... what'll come out next, and I think the outcome will be quite different . I wouldn't be surprised if he never reported squat...he will say he did, they'll at he didn't . And then add the stuff from Florida that'll be regurgitated all the while the new stuff comes out.  I'll wager he is gone, and that Schiano is new coach, overcoming reports of his PSU knowledge.

I’m officially kind of over talking about Ohio State and Urban Meyer.  They are just not that interesting.  I’m back to Michigan roster over-analysis.

This particular thread entitled you.

But let’s remember Brian Cook’s indelible comment about 11W; “For a Michigan blog, you guys sure have a lot of OSU content...”

I had the indescribable pleasure of (a) buying Jason Priestas a beer and then (b) immediately running that line by him.

Jason is a genuinely great guy.  But let’s just say his reaction did not disappoint me.

Don't agree with BJR that often but he's not wrong on this point. MGoBlog 3.0 has not been great since the Urban fiasco.

That said, should not BJR and his ilk be on that other Michigan blog (11W) discussing conspiracy theories, talking about Meat Chicken, not using the letter M, shamelessly blaming victims and engaging in rampant apologism?

Okay, but were you officially over them before or after you clicked on this thread. Because admit it, you like the rest of us got officially very interested when you saw the title. 

Only to be severely let down once you, like the rest of us, read it’s yet another opinion piece and not a factual post....

:-p

Sorry. Tried to post a comment to the "If you had to guess right now"  thread and it was my first post in the new release. No idea how to delete, but would be happy if someone would please. Again, sorry.

I think it is fitting that one of the worst and  most content-free posts of the week would have the worst title of the week.

Just a bit of advice, and please do take it....

Do not title your opinion on why Meyer should be gone as "He's gone". It's just bad form - at worst, it's outright misleading.

I am glad that as the season approaches, the board threads complaining about the lack of new topics will slowly be replaced by these incredibly dumb board topics.

Again, it was certainly not my intent. Otherwise I wouldn't have felt sick to my stomach as soon as I saw what happened. I apologize to all who were/are rightfully pissed about it. Not who I am, and would never put something up like that with such an inflammatory title at such a point in time. I know...ignorance is no excuse, so whatever comes my way is deserved. I only wish I knew how to delete five seconds after pressing "Save."
