At least we have excitement leading up to our bowl games:

2002-Clarret fiasco
2003-Roberson sexual assault
2004-Smith ?????

Does anyone think this has something to do with illegal benefits? I hope he just beat the hell out of someone at a bar last night. I figured espn would be all over this, but I haven't seen anything on their website yet.

Troy Smith

The rumor mill says "illegal" benefits.I have been nervous about this guy ever since he had a previous problem on campus,now this.I don't care about the bowl game,but I don't want more flames from ESPN and more to give credence to the allegations of MC.Timing is never good,but couldn't be worse for OSU.I'm not sure if Smith is a one hit wonder or the real deal yet.I think Todd B would be the real deal IF we had a running game.

This is exactly what we didnt need. Our starting quarterback suspended for what sounds like indefinitely due to a NCAA violation....this gives the ESPIN more credability and again the focus is on the program in a negative manner.

If he broke NCAA rules then he should be punished accordingly. This is his second issue since he got to OSU. He is not being a leader off the field and that is really a disapointment. I want him to be successful, but as a fan of OSU I am tired of these kids not representing the universtiy in the appropriate manner, this is just terrible for him and the program.

Zwick gets a second chance now and I for one will be anxious to see what he can do with the different personnel around him and I guess its just a matter of time before we find out all the details of why Smith is sitting.

This is sad.

I could care less about who our QB is. I'm sick of all of these off the field issues. It makes me sick. Smith has let Buckeye Nation down.

If the admin staff has to petition for a reinstatement, then he is officially off the team. Is my thinking inaccurate? How can they suspend him for a game when he's ineligible in the NCAA's eyes.

This is not good.

This really is bad, because if Zwick gets hurt, we have to choose between burning Boeckman's redshirt simply for a mid-tier bowl game or letting walk-ons QB the team.

One other option: Maybe use TGII as the emergency QB and run a bunch of QB draws, option type plays and roll out run-pass options. Hopefully the OL will keep JZ intact though.
