It's worth reminding ourselves that, since the summer of '06 when Alex Boone got his DUI, this is the first incident where a Buckeye has shown up on a Police Blotter. How many other D-I programs have a record that clean? This wouldn't even warrant an dis-Honorable Mention in the Fulmer Cup ratings. Sure, we all wish this had never happened. But take 100 college-age male studs, and somewhere, someone, sooner or later, will embarass themselves. He didn't pound anyone in a bar fight; he didn't steal; or take money from a booster. He will take his punishment and move on. We'll see if he learns to be a Man. I suspect his most important "learning moments" will occur, not in the judicial system, but in his one-on-ones with Tressell, and the razzing he will take in the locker room.
