The fucking hell???  Fox has some kind of chutzpah to let Urbane Meyer say that!!

Seriously, the pot just met the kettle.  Any 'journalist' that lets that go without a word of irony will lose my respect in the same manner that Fox just did.  Not that I have a lot of respect left for that profession (and channel), anyway...

Fuck off, Meyer, you don't get to speak to me about honesty.

“I was just texting with Chase the other day about transparency and honesty.”

”Can you read those texts to us?”

”I don’t have them anymore.”

I'm sure this will trigger some of you, but what has Meyer lied about?

I know what some of you think he lied about, but he actually didn't.

The incident that springs to mind is when a reporter asked him about a report of Zach Smith's arrest for domestic violence at Florida, and Meyer said he wasn't aware. That is actually true, since the report was wrong and Zach Smith was never arrested.

How about saying he and his wife never had a discussion about Zack kicking his wife's ass? They both knew, but they never talked about it with each other? How about saying he discussed with his AD? That's why he got fired bud, he lied and everyone knows it. Maybe I missed the sarcasm in your post. In the words of George Costanza, it's not a lie Jerry if you believe it. To refresh everyone's memory.

To clowns like Meyer, a word like "honesty" is like a birthday present to a spoiled child: 

They expect to get it. They don't expect to have to give it.

Four other knuckleheads sitting there on the dais nodding their heads reverently. I like the games, but college football is filled with crass stupidity. Urban can barely spit out that little speech himself.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven. So this all happened last year but they don't choose to disclose it until they are ready to play back to back games against weak opponents knowing full well that it's probably going to be a one or two game suspension. Honesty my ass.

You reasoning is flawed.  If we've been holding on to it to use at the right time then why not announce it right after the MSU game?

 

We had a bye and then Northwestern.  You know, the Northwestern that's ranked dead last in almost every offensive category.  Seems like a better time to me.

Transparency and honesty weren't important all off season, during spring football, during summer workouts, fall camp and during the first 8 games, why is it soooooo important now? Oh, that's right, because he got caught. Haha.... my bad.

“... get this wrapped up.”  That’s the MO. Get him back on the field ASAP.  NCAA rules are just something to get around.  They don’t take them that seriously.

How about I’m retiring from Florida due to health reasons. Also I’m retiring from osu due to health reasons. When he gets caught in another scandal at usc he will be retiring due to health reasons. What a fucking idiot.

The key to know if Urbans lying is that stress pimple on his nose. “Here’s a quarter, take the train downtown and have a rat naw that thing off your face”

Not necessarily impressed with his football analysis.  After ND he said that Michigan found some problems, and fixed them.  

Seriously.  That was his comment.  If people are going to fawn over him on the air at least have him say something less stupid.

As far as honesty, if Urban wants to be honest, I have so many questions for him.
