Yeah...Miller was a stud last year...and that state title game was outstanding...even though they lost.
Watch out for Cardale Jones from Glenwood...Miller is the sure stud of camp...but I hear this kid Jones is a sleeper...
He's huge, and a lot of folks have been comparing the situation to Justin Zwick/Troy Smith (although Zwick was the BIG QB, and Smith the scamperer back them)...
Miller may be the stud...but Jones may sneak up on him...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
Of course...I think Jones is going to attend prep school this year...so he won't join Ohio State until 2012...
Miller will get snaps in the first five...with Bauserman...for sure...
There are reports that Jim Tressel knew about the gear sales in April, long before the season even started.
While they are just reports...and I'll be curious to find out who the source is...
if they turn out to be true...Tressel should be fucking fired...
...period...

If it IS true, it's a MAJOR violation, and there will be a shitload of problems in the coming years...including a loss of games for this past season, although I could see tOSU having a leg to stand on, since the NCAA themselves didn't even ban them from the fucking bowl game.
Either way, I'm sure they'll lose scholarships and be banned from bowl games...
That said...Urban Meyer's name should start swirling around before too long...
I don't think he'd say yes now...but give it a year or two...and he'd likely consider it...
Rich Rod is availablelol
I think Tressel could actually kill someone, and still have more morals than Rich Rodriguez...
This "punishment" is a joke and so is the NCAA. 2 games? That man who name I will not say make some phone calls, I do admit it was a buttload, and Indiana's basketball team was destroyed. Recruiting limits. No one took a dime. These guys get suspended? The Sweater should be fired, but alas, he wins so O$U keeps him.

The NCAA threw a fit about Michigan's practice habits and something like this gets a lousy 2 game suspension? Fuck the NCAA to.
The only reason Tressel kept his fucking job is because he DID tell the AD in April. In the press conference, he was asked if he turned the e-mails over to anyone else on the University staff, and he immediately starts nodding. Before he can say anything, the AD jumps in and says no.
I'll bet you money that Tressel DID do what he was supposed to, but is now jumping on the land mine, hoping that he can keep the sanctions to a minimum for the kids he coaches.
A coach covering up is bad...but a whole administration covering up is worse (which I believe happened).
Now...as per the self-imposed sanctions that is causing the ruckus in here...they aren't NCAA sanctions. I firmly expect that the NCAA will (and should) strip tOSU of their 2010 wins, suspend Tressel for the spring, and as long as the players are suspended, and dock scholarships...
either way...tOSU is going to start getting killed in recruiting now...because the living room sell is now that Tressel is a cheat, and so is his program...
He needed to be fired...period...
especially after Rich Rodriguez came out rallying FOR HIM!
Game-time.
need this one fellas! hope they didn't peak too soon last game, keep up the momentum.
EUAS
NO, NO, NO, Hell fucking NO.
Say what you want about his coaching, his championships, whatever....He doesn't run a respectable program IMO.
I don't want him in Columbus!
Bye, bye, Sweatervest.
Watched the spring game..Braxton Miller looked sharper than TP did his first 2 seasons, and he hasn't even been to class yet! Taylor Graham looked pretty damn tight. He can throw darts...with accuracy. They could go either way the first 5 games IMO and not miss a step without Pryor. If they do happen to lose one early, it's better to lose early. They can finish strong.
Rod Smith... as soon as the Eddie George/ Beanie Wells comparisons start flying his way, he rips off a 20-yard run......and puts the ball on the turf!
With Boom, Berry and Hall back there, he's going to have to impress the fuck out of the coaches if he wants on the field.
Defensively, it looked like they were picking on Bauserman intentionally...he was being smothered. I'm not sure why he still occupies a roster spot.

took a month, but yeah, he's resigning.
anyone else is wasting time.
Notice he picked a slow news day when most everyone is off work and bbqing to make the announcement.
Jim Tressel tenders resignation
ESPN
Embattled coach Jim Tressel, two months after apologizing for fallout that resulted in suspensions for him and several of his players, has resigned from Ohio State.
"After meeting with university officials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach," Tressel said in a statement Monday morning. "The appreciation that Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable."
Assistant coach Luke Fickell, who had been named to fill in for Tressel during the first five games of the 2011 season in which he was to be suspended, will take over as the interim head coach, Ohio State said in the news release.
Tressel was entering his 11th season as head coach for the Buckeyes. He finishes with a 106-22 record at Ohio State (66-14 in the Big Ten). He won a national championship in 2002, seven Big Ten championships, including the past six, and had a 9-1 record against Michigan.
School president E. Gordon Gee announced Tressel's departure in a letter sent to Ohio State trustees.
"As you all know, I appointed a special committee to analyze and provide advice to me regarding issues attendant to our football program," the letter said, according to The Columbus Dispatch, which first reported Tressel's decision. "In consultation with the senior leadership of the University and the senior leadership of the Board, I have been actively reviewing the matter and have accepted Coach Tressel's resignation.
"My public statement will include our common understanding that throughout all we do, we are one university with one set of standards and one overarching mission," Gee wrote in the letter, according to the Columbus newspaper. "The University's enduring public purposes and its tradition of excellence continue to guide our actions."
The news comes two weeks after Buckeyes athletic director Gene Smith affirmed his support for the coach amid an ongoing NCAA investigation for rules violations.
"We look forward to refocusing the football program on doing what we do best -- representing this extraordinary university and its values on the field, in the classroom, and in life," Smith said in the statement. "We look forward to supporting Luke Fickell in his role as our football coach. We have full confidence in his ability to lead our football program."
At the Big Ten spring meetings earlier this month, Smith -- while declining to discuss any details of an ongoing NCAA investigation of Tressel -- said his outlook toward the coach's position hadn't wavered.
"Oh, definitely, no question," Smith had said. "I haven't changed, I haven't changed. But I'm not talking about the case beyond that."
Smith noted last month in an interview with The Associated Press that Tressel should have apologized at a March 8 news conference, where Tressel first acknowledged he failed to notify Ohio State officials of emails he received about some of his players receiving improper benefits. In late March, during an almost hour-long news conference, Tressel apologized for letting people down and acknowledged that some may view him as a cheater.
Smith has also talked about the high legal costs Ohio State is dealing with, calling the ongoing NCAA situation "a nightmare."
Tressel also received support at the spring meetings from fellow coaches such as Michigan State's Mark Dantonio and Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald, as well as from Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne, a longtime friend.
"Coaches are great," Tressel said. "They understand all the challenges everyone has. It's good to be with them."

i bet tomorrow's Ashtabula Star Beacon has at least one story about what Meyers' family and friends in 'Bula think he's going to do.
anyone else is wasting time.
just think him taking over the program would be pretty amazing. What a story that would be. He possibly, wrecked in my mind the 2nd greatest season in TOSU history (98 was first), and to have him take over and make things right, and install an actual good offense at TOSU would be refreshing.
He has a heart problem, and a bigger problem with discipline on his teams than Tress. How would Meyer be an improvement?
I'd rather see tOSU be a mediocre team than turn into the next ThugU.
I'm still not sold on the idea that Tress "knew" what was happening, simply by getting an email.

I'd agree, for any school that considered hiring Meyer. It is fairly fascinating to realize that this guy somehow made the University of Miami look like a charm school next to the Gators. In the past 5 years, Meyer had over 30 students arrested on his watch, compared to 2 for UM.
That distinction belongs to the 1969 Michigan team..
To their credit though, the U were able to get it done on the field with several different coaches over the years. It was their on-field demeanor that rubbed me the wrong way...unsporting. It was only a matter of time that it followed them off the field, and being in that area of south Fla., with that many "distractions", it could have been worse.
UF got to that point very quickly under Meyer.
That's not the ONLY reason I don't want him in Columbus,.......he can't beat Mishitgan.
That matters more than any non-playoff NC. Trust me.
That said, Meyer doesn't deserve as much credit for the 2006 NC win as he's been given....an over-confident Buckeyes squad that had beaten 3 teams in the top 5 that season went into that game thinking they were bulletproof, and that UF was going to lay down for them. The Gators had a HUGE chip on their shoulders. It was evident during UF's first drive. tOSU committed more PF's than they had all season. Then Tress abandoned the running game...they got hammered.

Ironically, it was that on-field demeanor that led to the program being cleaned up in the last 5 years.
It will be interesting to see what Al Golden does. This team goes back and forth every few years, based upon whatever the athletic director's coin flip decides: A competitive team with zero discipline (the thugs), or a low scoring, non-achieving roster with zero arrests. There is no in between.
hey, when was the last time you beat the bucks? 03 was it?

Who leads the all time series? Remember the Cooper years? Michigan owned the Suckeyes so bad they hired a shady coach and are in line for some pretty nasty sanctions. If you call that winning so be it, we still have the overall lead
And really, check the history of the rivalry, the Suckeyes don't even hold the longest win streak in the series.
Michigan then hired a just as shady coach and still couldn't do a thing against the BucksWho leads the all time series? Remember the Cooper years?

Really? Practice gate is the same as this? At least you are backing your statements up with factsMichigan then hired a just as shady coach and still couldn't do a thing against the Bucks
Enjoy the sanctions.
Double post, the forum hates me

No, practice gate is worse. That's something YOUR coach did KNOWING it was an NCAA violation.
Just because reporters start throwing words like "cheating", "recieiving money" and "ineligible" into a story about a few knuckleheads trading jerseys and jewlery that belonged to them for some ink, doesn't mean tOSU was "cheating". MiSHITgan was cheating. Ohio State had a few players that broke NCAA rules on their own, and Tressel is taking the bullet. That's it.
If I send an email to RichRod saying that Shoestrings robbed a bank, does that mean RichRod "knows"? Fuck no, it doesn't..not until some hard evidence is presented to back it up. Tressel didn't have any evidence until the memorabilia was confiscated from the tattoo shop owners' home.
He gets an email in April, probably asked the students in question about it, and they say, "no, coach, not me". Then they find the jerseys and shit months later, and because it WAS true, he "knew". WTF??
It's bullshit. He's a fucking football coach, not Sherlock fucking Holmes!
Whenever the press decides to do a story on this, they leave out important details like the ones I just laid out, because they WANT someone to burn at the stake. And for that, I have to thank Terelle Pryor and the rest of the assholes that couldn't live another day without a tattoo, for making this possible.
Enjoy your decade-long view of the Big 10 from the bottom of the pile.
The Wolverqueens haven't won 7 in-a-row against tOSU since 1909. The Buckeyes are currently on 7 and counting. Live in the now. Games that were played before your Great-Grandfather was born are the only thing you freaks have to hang your hat on now?Who leads the all time series? Remember the Cooper years? Michigan owned the Suckeyes so bad they hired a shady coach and are in line for some pretty nasty sanctions. If you call that winning so be it, we still have the overall lead
Who made that illiterate fuck a moderator?
Cooper wasn't 1907 and we owned the Suckeyes then, the sweater vest has had cover ups and shady dealings at every coaching stop, just look it up before rambling on some more. All you are hanging your hat on is seasons that could be wiped out by NCAA sanctions. I'll ignore the illiterate fuck remark, if you want to have a conversation that is based in reality and facts I'll be more then happy to join you. If you want to call names comb your local high school and find a taker there.
Mishitgan NRVER won 7 in a row after 1909. Period. Cooper or not.
Okay then...you want to talk about reality and facts?? Show us some! You haven't got any! All you've done is put the dick all over this thread with the typical Mishitgan bitterness. You haven't added a goddamed thing to this thread, which by the way, is about tOSU, not about how much YOU hate them! If the only purpose of you posting in it is to stir shit up, you've succeeded. Good for you. Don't tell me I have to provide you with facts when I already have.
YOU on the other hand, have not. And as a fucking mod, you should know better.
And I could give a fuck less about what "remark" you chosse to "ignore".You're a fuckin' troll-bag with down syndrome. How many times are you going to misspell "to" as in "I want some to"
Dumbass..
Now share some of those "facts".. I'm waiting...
