I think you're jumping to some conclusions CleveBucks. The "crap" I'm referring to the string of negative publicity that OSU seems to be going through. It seems as though we've had one incident after another for QUITE some time. And no I'm not in an outrage about open container OR public urination, thank you. But I'm am getting a bit tired of folks who can excuse everything that happens as simply "boys will be boys".
First of all, I highly doubt OSU is getting any publicity out of this outside of Ohio. Do we ever hear when somebody from Miami, or USC, or Oklahoma, is ticketed for underage consumption? Hell no we don't. It's not even a newsworthy event unless you care about OSU football.

Secondly, I haven't seen a single person that excuses everything as "boys will be boys." I have yet to see somebody minimize or defend the actions of LI or IG. I have, however, seen many people defend Trapasso, and I am one of them. I have a hard time criticizing somebody for something I did literally hundreds of times in the past 4-5 years.

True, he was dumb for getting caught (as was I when I got caught a few times). He'll learn how not to get caught after a couple more months of college though.
