Very true.

Somehow I would be having more enjoyment over problems other schools are having with their players getting into trouble if Ohio State hadn't had similiar problems in years past. Unfortunately the Fulmer Cup could have been called the Rany Ayers Cup (during 1989?1997) or the John Cooper Cup (during 1988 - 2000).

That is a very balanced and objective viewpoint, ScriptOhio. I guess people here will be taking a bit of delight because the fans of these other schools took such delight in our problems then and often inflated them to make us look like Convict U.

At the same time, and I like methomps words here too, most of them took a "holier than thou" attitude and asserted that such things could never happen in their programs. Most of them still do.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida offensive lineman Ronnie Matthew Wilson was arrested Thursday, accused of firing a semiautomatic rifle in the air during a dispute with another man that started in a nightclub.
Wilson, 19, has been suspended from team activities, coach Urban Meyer said. Wilson was charged with aggravated assault, simple battery and the use or display of a concealed weapon during the commission of a felony, according to jail records.
"Obviously, this is a major concern," Meyer said.
The victim, whose name was not released, said Wilson spit on him and slapped him on the right side of his face inside the XS nightclub. Wilson told police he had spit on the victim but denied hitting him.
When Wilson left the club, the victim followed him in his car and called police to give them vehicle information. According to a police report, Wilson pulled into a parking lot, where he took the rifle out of his trunk and fired one shot in the air because he wanted the other man "to know how it felt to be scared."
Fearing he would be shot, the victim ducked down and put his car into reverse. As he was going backward, he heard a gunshot, the report said.
Police said the victim left the parking lot and was followed by Wilson, who broke off the chase when he saw police cars.
According to the report, Wilson then went to an apartment complex and hid the rifle and magazine in his cousin's apartment, where they were recovered by police.
Wilson was being held in the Alachua County Jail awaiting his first court appearance. It was not known if he had a lawyer.
The university's sports information office said it had no comment on the arrest.
Wilson, 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, enrolled as a redshirt freshman in the spring of 2005.

Penn State players questioned

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Police have interviewed members of the Penn State football team in connection with a confrontation at an off-campus apartment whose residents later received an anonymous letter asking them not to press charges, police and university officials said.

No charges have been filed in the early Sunday morning incident but an investigation is continuing, Police Chief Thomas King said Thursday.

According to police, about 10 men were reported to have pushed their way into the apartment and assaulted several men attending a party, following a "street confrontation" about an hour earlier. One person was treated at a hospital and released.

I can't get over how pathetic the people are who wrote that letter....whoever they are. If they are students of the school.....you're basically saying let the football players do whatever they want because we're tired of sucking.

(yes, if anybody at OSU ever did that, they would be pathetic too)

[HailToMichigan]

Am I the only one who thinks there are a lot of football players getting in trouble all of a sudden? Like, way more so than usual?
