OSU Releases Urban/Smith Texts and Emails
Pages 1413-1416 of this are funny: https://osu.app.box.com/s/0dw2h1eymlyorp2v68zjbee8aom0e31e
Zach Smith spends almost 3 weeks blowing off a meeting with a professor who is the faculty athletics representative, who is trying to meet with him about poor academic performance from his players. Eventually the professor cc's Gene Smith with the whole thread contained.
Zach grovels in response at p. 1791.
Also p. 1613 at that link, Zach Smith is comping tickets for a Sammie Ziegler, perhaps this person. I'm not making scandalous suggestions, you're making scandalous suggestions!
At p. 1631 and p. 1637, for this person. And at p. 1699, for his "friend" Hillary Villa, whose only easily discoverable social media presence is a pinterest page. (Again, I'm not suggesting anything by pointing out the existence of a different female friend of Zach Smith's almost every time he comps tickets for a list of people. That's all you.)
At p. 1645, Kerry Coombs seems to be stealing food from the university.
p. 1658, Zach Smith's ESPN fantasy football league is called "Romo Sexual Tendencies" and his team is called "Cammy Cam Juice" (presumably in reference to this).
Fun fact from p. 1661: another team in the league is called "The Fighting Sambos" and belongs to ole Sammie Ziegler. The person who named their team "Bill Cosby's Sleepers" is, of course, a Zach Smith family member.
Not ZS-related, but Katie Plageman doesn't seem to like that damn Tori at p. 1822.
There are only two semi-interesting ZS things in these documents not already noted above.
1. There's a lot of confusion about where he stayed for two nights on a recruiting trip to Detroit, which he eventually clears up by claiming he drove home on those nights. (This doesn't stop him from claiming the maximum per diem including breakfast for every day of the trip.)
2. There's an extended thing about ZS trying to get an iPhone 6S. At one point they are still waiting on him to pay for his previous devices before they give him another one. It's unclear whether he ever did, or if he just got his next phone elsewhere. They had already previously provided him with a replacement for a non-OSU phone, which they only seem to have discovered after they replaced it, so maybe that's how he had an unpaid-for device to begin with.

What a slime ball

Looks like Smith did interview at Bama but wasn’t offered a job. The fact that Saban didn’t want anything to do with Smith says a lot.
I don’t believe that for one second. Saban is lying. He’s clearly embarrassed he offered numerous OSU coaches who turned him down. Is it surprising he started going after their staff after they beat him with a 3rd string QB?
