RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

[BUCKYLE]

So the dude that had obvious serious issues isn't a perfect human being yet? WHY THE FUCK NOT! I demand perfection from all other humans.

It's not a violent crime. He thankfully didn't hurt anyone else and he's still alive to continue trying to get better.

He was an alcoholic. He was doing a lot better. He relapsed. It sucks. Hope he can eventually overcome his demons for good. His story is important. Everyone fucks up. Everyone. Some people fuck up so badly that they cost themselves a shot a really great life. Mo could have been one of the all time great RBs. The fact that he cost himself that opportunity and is at least still trying to be a positive influence is pretty fucking great.

Tell that to anyone who's lost a loved one to drunk driving.

Is every drunk driver responsible for every death caused by driving impaired?

Never said that was the case.

My generation's Art Schlichter?

naaaa.. regrettably, Schlicter was not a good person... to the core
Maurice is a good person... but still has Youngstown inter-city in him

 

[BUCKYLE]

Never said that was the case.

Yeah that's why I was asking for clarification.

The possibility of hurting someone is not the same as hurting someone.

My two cents? I hope he gets help and can stay sober... Alcohol caused me enough problems in my life to get to the point that I simply don't drink any more. It took a lot of research, but I realized I am an idiot when I drink... So after enough research I concluded that I should abstain completely. It seems to have done the trick.....

Heres to hoping Mo C gets through this. I hope he has also completed enough research to know he should probably stay sober...

TWEET OF THE WEEK

For all of the issues that Maurice Clarett had for a few years during and after he was at Ohio State, it really is amazing to see the turnaround in recent years. If you haven't read this piece from Ramzy, I highly recommend that you do.



Shoutout to Clarett for his charitable work. I'm sure it meant a lot to all those involved.

That play sent me through so many emotions in less than a minute.

Same. My dad was still pissed at the turnover, not realizing Mo ripped that shit back from Taylor. I started freaking out once Mo raised the ball on the sideline.

Need to go back and watch this game soon.

dammit Krenzel Hartsock was freaking open!

Yup. One of the most intense single plays I’ve ever witnessed. And it’s cool to think that for every Buckeye who went from crying tears of pain to crying tears of joy there was a Miami fan who ended that sequence crying tears of pain.

Oh, wait... Sorry. For every 100 Buckeyes who went from crying tears of pain to crying tears of joy there was a Miami fan who ended that sequence crying tears of pain.

You seriously think they have 10,000 fans?
