This is worse than Clarett.

I certainly understand the anxiety expressed by some on this post, but we really shouldn't rush to judgement until all the facts are in. All we know right now is that Smith has been temporarily suspended - which is bad enough - however, before giving oneself a stroke over it, let's see how it all develops.
Relaxed or not does not excuse the fact that this indiscretion is inexcusable no matter how minor it is. With all of the recent garbage being thrown at the program, Troy's actions will be twisted into judgments over the program as a whole.

Guys, I know for a fact that this is not even close to what clarett is alleging. It is 10x "better" for the program. Nothing will come of it institutionally. This incident had nothing to do with the athletic dept. In fact, they could've easily swept it under the rug.
You are absolutely correct CleveBucks, this won't be close to The Clarett saga, some posters should just chill a little. I would rather know the facts instead of just comparisons to MoC. I will be watching and listening for some real facts. Keep me posted please

Is President Holbrook or the Trustees getting tired of all this?

With the latest episode to hit the fan, I am wondering if President Holbrook or the Trustees getting tired of the negative things that are happening to the two major sports programs at Ohio State. During the season all the negative press and denials concerning the football program. Last week, Andy Geiger's decision to not allow the Basketball Buckeyes a chance to go to the big dance, providing their year was good enough. Now , I know Coach Matta can't be held accountable for something that didn't happen on his watch. Now, the football team and Coach Tressel are always in the spot light.

I know some of you guys along with me played college sports... and know this shit happens in every program. Yes it's a black eye because OSU gets put in the spotlight because of recent allegations... but it is a pathetic norm. I have seen the high paying jobs for "summer work", test answers being provided before exams, fancy cars bought at "a reasonably low" price from a booster along with all sorts of other things. Jim Tressel and Andy Geiger can not babysit hundreads of student athletes, they are grown men and women and are expected to act accordingly. Bottom line, this sort of stuff happens everywhere.... this is a buisness to the schools, and the athletes are their investments.

starbucks....i too played..

however; these actions are unacceptable....most especially in the current climate of ohio state sports...

either tosu is going to painful extremes to "out" every small infraction that is made or geiger is out of a job.....simple as that...

CleveBucks,

I truely hope this is correct, but from others that ar 'in the know' about this, it seems as if the worst may still be to come...

Anyone willing to put *rumors* of what they hear on the rumor board?

Hey DA Buck, what do you know in this case that is fact? ..........Yeah, that is what I thought. Clarett has what we call a foot-in-mouth disease, don't be like him. Please just chill out and say something positive and support the rest of the team. Go Bucks!
