I don't think I'll ever be able to get over what espin did to Ohio State. The crap with Howard and Nick Simpson before the Texas game only served to reinforce the fact that someone at espin has a real hard on for Ohio State.
They went out of their way for MONTHS to drag our program and school through the mud at every opportunity.
I remind people again of the headline about the Ohio State women's basketball team allegedly getting improper benefits (dental treatments??) appearing on the college football page of espin.com.
For months they ran with a story that was not based in fact. They (Herbstreit included) spent the pre-game, the second quarter, and half-time of a nationally televised bowl game running Ohio State into the ground. They cost Ohio State at least one recruit. They allowed their on air analysts to publicly call for the jobs of Jim Tressel and Andy Geiger without a shred of actual proof of any wrongdoing. I understand that Troy Smith gave legs to their story, but where was the reporting of Ohio State being found guilty of exactly ONE infraction by ONE player?? Where was the story about the NCAA finding ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with regard to the Clarett accusations? I don't know how any Ohio State fan could ever forgive OR forget what espin has done to Ohio State.
EDIT [censored] ESPN!
