These issues have plauged Ohioans since back in the days when ND and scUM were winning NC's every year.

"Tell you the truth, he don't bring too much. He's just like another cornerback we're going against," Byrd said. "We're going to attack whoever is over there. If he's over there, we're going to attack him. They play defensive back, we're going to go after him."

Either way youn can tell he is one intelligent young man..."they play defensive back, we're going to go after him." is one heck of a thought out philisophy

Not sure what there is to learn...the situation changed. As late as Wednesday night, team members were under the impression DW was out.

Looks like the "Don" Washington will get his chance to shut him up... let's hope he has this quote in his locker.

Typing it out does no justice for this quote either. If you heard him say it on the radio, tv, etc... you know what I mean.

Another quote from Byrd... "Momma says that alligators are so awnry because they got all dos teef and no toofbrush."

i have to agree with osugrad that this whole DW situtation was fluid and changed almost by the day..i think a lot of people had it right until it changed

Regrettable situation

Though starting cornerback Donald Washington was cleared to play in the title game after there was a question he had violated a team rule, reserve freshman defensive back Eugene Clifford was suspended last week for the same reason. Tressel did not detail Clifford's offense but said it was regrettable.
"You always get disappointed when guys have to lose privileges," he said. "We constantly warn our guys ? so when you have 100-something teenagers, and even one of them has a problem ... it disappoints you."
