Hawk and Mangold Apartment Robbed!!

If you're dad gave you a credit card to use in college, and had the bill go to him, how much would you have spent?

Uh, if I had dared to spend $500 a month on food (I don't spend that much now, and I can afford it...which is why I assume training table is no longer served), I'm pretty positive my card would have been cut and my ass whooped, but I also can't imagine having my expenses taken care of b/c my dad simply couldn't afford it. Attempting to identify with someone who had a dad covering his bills isn't exactly something I'm capable of, since I paid for everything on my own. (BTW...I'm not knocking anyone who was lucky enough to have parents who were able to pick up expenses. You were quite lucky if that was the case.)

You do realize how many times these guys eat, right? Even if they get one meal at training table, they still have 4-5 other meals. They can't exactly build muscle by ingesting 2000 calories a day, more like 4k. That adds up pretty quickly.

Isn't it sad that a father has to go public to defend he and his son doing well.

I can't help but think that possible recruits see the scrutiny that we and the media put on these players. Certainly can't help in recruiting young kids.

I was listening to the "two angry guys" on 1360 (Cincinnati station) and right before they went to commercial Richard Skinner asks the other guy "did you ever have $3000 in college". He of course says no and then he asks him "did you ever have a $2000 computer in college" He answers no. Richard Skinner then says "interesting, we will discuss this after the break". I had to go in to work so I am not sure what else was said but I can only imagine. For the most part these two guys are idiots and overly critical of everything (except Bob Huggins and Kentucky basketball)

I graduated school in 98 and 3/4 of the people I knew had computers. I can only imagine now what that percentage is. These guys probably graduated college back in the early 80's before PC's were even readily available. What douchebags.

I know when my wife was 22 and in college she had a computer, a paid off car, a lot of jewelry, tons of nice clothes and never had less than a few grand in the bank. (Notice I said in the bank, which is, I think the only mistake any of these kids made.) She never had a job in school either. AJ and Nick's families are much better off than her parents were. It isn't illegel or against NCAA rules for their parents to buy them an XBOX or a PC or a Gucci watch or a million movies or send them $3000 or $100000. I wish people would give the "dig shit up about OSU" and "make something out of nothing" a rest.

It's nice that even the local sports talk idiots jumped on this and made it an issue. Anything for a story. Make sure you don't let the facts get in the way of the speculation.


Hooley mentioned on his show last night that he called the NCAA to inquiry if they were going to investigate where AJ got $3K.

To this day, I can't understand why 1460 hired his sorry butt.

But, everything else is fine. I'm a college freshmen, in our dorm we have a:
30" Television, Xbox & PS2 with around 15 games each, two 20" LCDs, two computers (both probably worth around $1000 - $1500 each) and the guy in the room next to us has around 200 DVDs. Oh, and I have a $85 Ohio State Fossil watch. :)

Nice. Now, where did you say you live? :biggrin:

Hooley mentioned on his show last night that he called the NCAA to inquiry if they were going to investigate where AJ got $3K.

This is not to be bitter - but man, isn't that just exactly why the reputation of Hooley is so low? It assumes this is something worthy of an NCAA investigation. It suggests Hooley is stirring the pot rather than simply seeking the truth. It seems like an example of Hooley creating, rather than writing, a story. It also indicates to me that Hooley has the welfare of Buckeye players far, far back in his mind when he reports efforts to effectively promote a self-serving fishing expedition.

My take on this, Hooley's gift for investigative journalism went AWOL once again.

All he had to do was call AJ, and then call AJ's dad - who I am sure would have been thrilled to set Hooley straight.

Apparently follow the money went out of style after Watergate.

Are you being serious or just speculating?
Because I would love to be present at that ass whipping...
think about it... how many rooms get broken into? especially those of athletes that can separate your limbs from your torso?
the 'perp' (got that from TV)... somehow knew there was significant cash there... knew exactly where it was...
that information doesn't come out of the blue... deductive reasoning says... there is a direct link somehow... and my guess is that the 'perp' has either been IN that apt.. or has a 'friend' that has.. and tipped him off
