Let me guess - the "someone close to the team" is the poster known as helpinghand. All I know is that in the name of journalism, Bucknuts has done more to bring ridicule to my alma mater, my wife's alma mater, and my son's soon to be alma mater than Coach Tressel could ever dream of doing with extensive planning.
DuJuan - I really do wish the best for this young man. I really do wish he had the requisites for admission. The Office of Admissions would not reject him twice in a matter of a few weeks unless there was a good reason. Just as I learned that Miles Williams did not meet
OSU's basic admission requirements, so to I believe that DuJuan has not met
OSU's basic admission requirements. It doesn't matter to me if he is good to go elsewhere - he is not good to go at
OSU, and if he really wanted to attend
OSU, he would have made certain that he would have made the mental moves for admission. There was a time when a 0.00 was good enough to be at
OSU. Those days are over. There was a time when others made fun of
OSU because it was crystal clear that
OSU was in fact a football factory without regard to academic achievement - an attitude that if you want to go to class and maybe learn something, you can do that too. Now, people are screaming to fire the leaders of this great institution for having the gall to stand up and say this is an institution of learning first. I hope Dr. Holbrook continues to push her initiative of raising the academic stature of my alma mater to even greater hights. For those who are in it only for the football, there is always Alabama.
