While I don’t read his comments regularly, I’ve read several and seen numerous television appearances, which, when taken together, lead me to the conclusion that Whitlock’s panis must be filled with extra brains, because he’s the most sensible mfer writing today. If only he hadn’t done something to piss of the folks at The Sports Reports, I could get my weekly fix, too. Instead, we have to listen to Mitch “the (other) male Oprah” Albom and Mike Lupica, moderated by John Sauders, who isn’t interested in a story if he can’t tie it to the underrepresentation of blacks in NCAA head coaching positions.

It amazes me that none of you even read the report or a summary. Here let me sum it up for you people:
One tutor was helping people cheat online. A student reported this to FSU and the investigated it. The Tutor is no longer part of the University. Two FSU football players were suspended at the start of the season and have not played this year. No men’s basketball, baseball or men’s track players were implemented.

To sum it up, No sanctions, no loss of scholarships, no forfits. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Kleph,

Of Montreal are from Athens, and they wrote the music for the Outback commercial.

re Hysteria:
How do you cheat on a clown test?

And then there’s this little gem from Dodd:

Did you know? That Bowden once had lunch with the mayor of Stuttgart, Germany. Manfred Rommel is the son of the infamous Erwin Rommel. According to FSU, Bobby always had a “special admiration” of the Nazi field marshal’s “renowned tactical brilliance.”

Maybe he admired Joseph Goebbels as well. Bobby seemed like a minister of propaganda defending his boy during the Jeff Bowden years.

USF is attempting a “green out” tonight. We’ll see what happens, but I guess it depends on how many people make it over from Polk County.

Just because there are no athletic scholarships avaialbe does not mean that Demetrius handed over much, if any cash to either school. University financial aid departments have some very creative people and I’m sure they were able to maximize the assistance that would be available to any student (theoretically).

hey now. of montreal has already talked about that damn outback commercial. they were the classic legally ignorant rock kids and didn’t realize the lyrics would be rewritten. also, they used the money to buy props, including giant lobster claws, for a kick as tour. seriously, of montreal, radiohead, and do make say think gave the best performances i’ve ever seen.

Troy Smith was smiling because he was not on his back for the first time all evening

I wonder if Demetrius Jones will be getting any tuition refunded from Northern Illinois. Seems a little late to me. And he’s having to pay for the fall term at Cincy.

From a scholarship at Notre Dame to paying out-of-pocket for two schools in one semester. Dayum, that kid’s either rolling in dough, got no sense, or was crazy desperate to get out of both North Bend and DeKalb.

Or some combination thereof.

#1 — Indeed! (Although my sofa at my apartment in the Village way back when was more of an *olive* green…)

However, everyone knows that BSU’s most famous alum is Joyce DeWitt (a.k.a. Janet on “Three’s Company”).

All programs have “shady” things going on, no doubt about it. And by no means am I here saying that Ohio State is as clean as a whistle, absolutely not.

Troy is a fine young man, he made a single mistake and took $500 bucks from a booster. He was suspended and worked his way back. I don’t know if anyone else was paying attention, but if I remember correctly Troy Smith was the first person to run over to Chris Leak and congratulate him. And he did so with a genuine smile on his face. In fact, I remember seeing a picture of the two hugging and I remember saying to myself that I couldn’t tell who won the game. Troy looked just as happy as Chris.

If that doesn’t speak volumes for the type of guy Troy has grown up to be, nothing else he can do will.

I’d like to think that Tressel had a hand in that somehow.
