LOL Meyer’s new statement
August 24th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
I wonder if a lawyer or the OSU PR department wrote that for him after virtually every national football writer ripped him for his petulant performance at the press conference. What a joke.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
Exactly what happened. No one outside of that oh so cool Buckeye Nation believes this bull shit. He is such a fucking asshole.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
I'm going to say both.
I doubt they even trust Meyer to read it out loud. If Meyer had the capacity to come up with that statement, he wouldn't be in a situation where he needed to make it.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
I'm not going to start another thread, but OSU lost a commit tonight. A 4* LB from TN who committed last month, Kane Patterson.
August 24th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^
He could later claim to have forgotten what he said now that he has been diagnosed with early onset of dementia!! Demented absolutely!!
August 24th, 2018 at 9:24 PM ^
I am actually starting to wonder about that. His behavior has been bizarre. From media days forward. He looked genuinely befuddles at the press conference. He had to have reporters repeat themselves many times and just looked as though he was not in full possession of the what/where/when/why. I am not proposing this to let him off the hook for anything, but in the here and now, one questions if his mind is slipping on him. Regardless of how you feel about Meyer, he has always been “sharp.” He is certainly not that now.
August 25th, 2018 at 8:15 AM ^
That's a good point. It's easy to bury him with his history, but maybe he truly is progressing through a disease state.
August 25th, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
Far more likely he's just an asshole
August 25th, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
Gotta play the lie. Perception is everything
August 24th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
I dunno. There are some grammar errors but it looks like he tried his best. Ohio State is a disgrace.
August 24th, 2018 at 7:19 PM ^
It is labeled "Media Relations" at the bottom. He didn't put it out personally like he did with his first message. A media relations person put it out and likely assisted with it and even initiated it. He gets no credit, because the message is still BS. He covered it up for years yet he is still pushing the no tolerance claim.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:48 PM ^
Holy shit. That's so crazy I had to go look at it again and you're right. It's like he screen shotted an email he got from "media relations", didn't even write it himself.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
ESPN is trolling him now as their headline reads "Meyer 'sincerely' apologizes to Courtney Smith." Love that . . .
August 24th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
He doesn't understand how to apologize...
You don't apologize for someone having to go through something. You apologize for your role in that thing.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
you do if you’re not sorry.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
So are OSU fans going to stop attacking Courtney’s character since Meyer has apologized to her and admitted she has had shit happen to her?
I imagine they’ll spin it that Meyer is sorry she has to deal with a philandering husband and say his statement had nothing to do with the abuse she suffered at the hands of Zach.
August 24th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
Meyer knows a little about wives who have to deal with a philandering husband.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
It took him 48 hours to come up with it.
And its still hogwash. “I was taught at a very young age that if I ever hit a woman I would be kicked out of the house & never welcomed back. I have the same rule at my house & in the football program at Ohio State.”
So Courtney Smith isn’t a woman?
August 24th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
After saying that, he should man up and fucking resign. No one believes this statement. If he did, he would resign. Clearly he didn’t abide by what he says he believes and was taught. That asshole just keeps digging a deeper hole. Fuck him and those inbred fans who support this piece of shit. This is a PERFECT example of putting winning ahead of morals, ethics, and integrity.
August 24th, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
Hopefully someone asks him to comment about something specific relating to his twitter feed but he won't get it right or remember what he wrote and then will have to release another statement about that dang forgetfulness again...
August 24th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
No, as that Biddle punk said on their 247 board that Ace called out, (possible slight paraphrasing)
"some bitches deserve to get hit."
August 24th, 2018 at 6:50 PM ^
I am dumbfounded by this statement.
Ok Urb. If this is your stance on domestic violence then explain Smith's employment for the last 10 years.
I seriously can't get over how clueless he is.
August 25th, 2018 at 12:34 AM ^
He's getting pretty close to dividing by zero.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
didnt carlos hyde punch a woman in the face...on tape? and then proceed to rush all over michigan like 2 months later
August 24th, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
Does he even have a son to have that rule , or does he tell his hot daughter that ?
August 24th, 2018 at 11:08 PM ^
Yes he has a son, he plays college baseball at Cincinnati.
August 24th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
She wasn't hit at his house or at the osu facility, so no.
August 24th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
This makes my blood boil. It's so obviously bullshit. If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't be in this mess because he would've "kicked Zach Smith out of the house". What a fucking liar.
He can't even apologize without lying.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
How can he say that he has the same rule at his house and football program? He clearly does not. That's just a plain lie.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
I'm so tired of this story.
I have nothing snarky or funny to add here.

August 24th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
Too little too late Urbs!!!!
August 24th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
August 24th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
this is the best response so far:
August 24th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Thanks for posting a picture. I made this thread from mobile and it seems adding pictures cannot be done. Perhaps I did it wrong, but hey, at least I got the link.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
Thoughts and prayers, Urban.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:28 PM ^
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
August 24th, 2018 at 9:23 PM ^
Awesome, and extremely relevant quote. Another one of my favorites, "Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing" ~Honest Abe Lincoln.
Urban errrr... tosu PR department is sure trying hard to build up Urban's shadow. Unfortunately, everybody already saw that his character wasn't a tree at all, it was in fact, a cooler with someone pooping in it. Urban's character is nothing but a crap in a cooler.
August 24th, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
Let's be fair to Meyer, he probably forgot what the presser was about halfway through.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
I mean this in the most serious way possible.
Take that insincere, flaccid apology and shove it up your ass Meyer.
What a pathetic and cowardly way to try and walk back that joke of a press conference.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
If Christibe brenneman doesn't question his manhood does he release this statement?
August 25th, 2018 at 10:15 AM ^
Are you assuming that issuing another statement was Meyer's idea?
I assume it was pushed on him by OSU's media relations people. I doubt he's reading all the negative press he's gotten. Not just because of these circumstances, but as a matter of routine. That's a constant distraction.
August 25th, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
no I'm including his handlers in that.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
Check your domestic violence at the door when you’re at Urban’s house!! Capiche?!
August 24th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
Urban Meyer is every head coach from those 90s movies like Blue chips etc wrapped into one. The dude is an awful human being who is worshipped by lemmings. He is so fake.
August 24th, 2018 at 6:55 PM ^
Bud Kilmer would’ve at least yelled at billy bob and made him cry if he ever hit a woman. Urban would probably give Billy Bob more voucher money to the strip club .
August 24th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
I LOVE Varsity Blues. All-time classic. That is my favorite football movie.
August 24th, 2018 at 8:17 PM ^
Just because of the whipped cream scene or other reasons too?
August 24th, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
I just assumed his memory issues prevented him from remembering the question when asked specifically about what he had to say about Courtney.
