Tosu wins.

[BobPSU92]

The Tosu meyer, win-at-all-costs-culture fiasco is out of the headlines. meyer and everyone else at Tosu looked like dogshit at last week's press conference, but the OUTRAGE. has subsided. meyer is a filthy, callous liar, but the media cared for just a few days. delany and emmert are nowhere to be found.

It's over. Tosu wins. Everyone knows Tosu is a steaming pile of crap, but Tosu will pursue football immortality unabated.

F*ck Tosu. F*ck everyone.

It isn’t over by any stretch. Did you expect all the sports channels to become UMTV, covering all things Urban Meyer 24/7? College Football Live continued to delve into the OSU fiasco. Listened to the Solid Verbal podcast and they were talking about it. People continue to question whether Urban violated any laws by deleting his text messages. The way OSU handled everything was almost as bad as the way the BOT handled when the Sandusky shit hit the fan. This onion still has some layers to it, and it’s gonna get stinky!

Exactly. It only subsided because there was much bigger news last week. As we saw at PSU, once the media decides they want to push a certain angle of a story, they are like a dog that won't let go of a bone. It won't go away and OSU is going to be answering for every negative story from his days at Ohio State in addition to UF, Utah and Bowling Green.

I don't see leyer getting major headlines anymore. It seems the main news outlets have moved on. That said, if the issue of deleted text messages gains steam, then look out.

F*ck Tosu. F*ck everyone.

I wrote this over a week ago. If OSU has a great season and makes it to the BIG10 title game or the CFP.....the lead story will be one of redemption for UM and all he overcame to reach the pinnacle! Forde,Brennan,Finebaum,McMurphy etc will be sucking his ass for a story.
Welcome to the world of 24 hour sports coverage. UM may be sleazy, but so are the termites that live off players and coaches etc.

Let's also keep in mind the following:

1. Joe had a much cleaner image than Urban did. It's much more fun for the general public/media to knock someone off their pedestal. The higher the pedestal, the more fun it is for them.
2. As abhorrent as the issues are with regard to Courtney Smith, the mere insinuation that young people (children) were at risk sends everyone into emotional overdrive.
3. It's been said on this board over and over again - the BoT used Joe Paterno as a sword and a shield.
4. Joe was in serious declining health - not a made up "heart issue" - serious declining health. Which meant that he had other things to focus on than getting in front of cameras.
5. Joe was not interested in appeasing the mass media or the internet mobs. His focus was his family and the squad, and the players that came before the 2011 team. To let them know it was not a football issue.
6. In both cases, the general public and media are incorrect in expecting the head college football coach to contact the "victim" directly.
7. In both cases, the general public and media are incorrect in expecting the head college football coach to have the level of authority and control that he does.
8. In both cases, the general public and media are incorrect in their placement of higher and higher hurdles that no one can possibly clear - just because they want to see that person fall.

Here is the latest from John Ziegler on the Ohio State issue. Seems like much of it was overblown. I remain convinced that Urban Meyer lied, but he only did so to cover up what should have been a non-issue, yet still one that would have had him roasted by the Twitter Mob. It appears the truth was that Urban knew Zach Smith's wife had alleged abuse, but also knew that police did not find the claims credible enough to bring charges. It also appears Courtney Smith was a complete psycho, something even acknowledged by her own mother.

The Jim Jordan allegations are clearly complete BS.

It's closer to over than everyone thinks it is...which some of us have said from the start. The reality is very few people actually care about this.

But, this, which is the most reasonable explanation of things, doesn't help us get Meyer fired so...

.

This part of the general public did not want him to have his fixers contact the victim directly. It is the worst thing he did. It enabled Zach Smith.

F*ck Tosu. F*ck everyone.

No offense, but why does the fact that the story is no longer front page news mean that Meyer and OSU are off the hook? We're still dealing with the Sandusky aftermath and it's been years since the story was front and center.

Might not mean they're off the hook but it means that far less people care about this than what happened here

The OUTRAGE. with Penn State grew and then was sustained until the media got blood. They got what they wanted. Joe was fired and Penn State was heavily sanctioned. It was all garbage, of course, but it happened.

Everyone saw Tosu to be FOOTBALL. -first and to not care one iota about domestic violence. Nevertheless, the OUTRAGE. died down quickly. The media doesn’t really care.

Possibly our stewards of the OGBoT invite these knuckle dragging columnist to take a weekly dump on our University. I’m not sure of the clown’s direction of this senseless, pointless article.

ESPN VP places Winston in same category as Sandusky case, others

Bucs’ signal caller placed in some very, very bad company.
By Gil Arcia@GilArciaBUCS Aug 27, 2018, 9:35pm EDTSHARE

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
There are some dumb takes. And there are some REALLY dumb takes.

This case is certainly the latter.

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has placed himself in some bad positions since his college days at Florida State. Most recent incident was over two years ago where he was accused of groping a female Uber driver.

Some have compared Winston to other athletes and NFL names with transgressions of past and present. While some are try to make a case for it, none have been more ridiculous than what came out of the mouth of an ESPN vice president when asked by The Athletic if college football has been damaged for viewers.

“I don’t think so,” said Lee Fitting, the vice president of college sports at ESPN and the point person for the company’s coverage of college football. “It has been brutal to watch, brutal to read about. It’s disgusting. It’s depressing. I just think at the end of the day people are still going to watch these games. I don’t want to say it is right or wrong. But — and I hate saying this and it is sad to say this — the sport has been through these rough patches whether it was Joe Paterno and Penn State, Baylor and Art Briles, the Jameis Winston stuff. It’s sad but the sport has been through this. For whatever reason, the sport continues to be very popular.”

Fitting decided to just randomly name major scandals in college football and so happened to mention Winston’s. How fitting.

There are major differences between the cases he mentioned that doesn’t necessarily pair Winston in the same league on many levels. From the initial claim to the final outcome and everything else in between, there are other scandals Fitting could have mentioned. And that horse has already been beaten beyond death so no, we aren’t going to re-visit the details of that case.

This just validates why the four letter network always had it out for Winston.
