A "Buck-eye"..."Black-eye"

It was all that is was built up to be:

Finesse vs. Brute strength

Speed vs. Power

Blitzkrieg vs. Methodical

Old School vs. New School

Traditional vs. New Age

What a game this was.  What a win for Ohio State.   They came...they saw...they dominated.

Here's the Headlines today from Ohio:




And from Oregon:

"Yes.... We Can"!!!

For almost five weeks...the football players on the Ohio State Buckeye team heard the constant rants and commentary about how the Alabama Crimson Tide...would wipe the field with them as their own personal cleaning rags.

ESPN...the World Wide Leader...and their mass of "TalkingHeads"...gave the Buckeyes little chance of winning.

The big bad SEC....Number 1 ranked Alabama!

Even the boys in Vegas had Ohio State 7 point under-dogs.

Well someone forgot to tell coach Urban Meyer.

He used all that negative press...to pump his team.  He prepared them.  And he got this:

Well Educated....But Still...Stupid

What a moron...By now everyone has seen the videos of this idiots' latest rants.  He has insulted an institution ...Notre Dame.   A religion....Catholics.   And an entire section of America...the SEC.

Funny thing...he will still have his job.   As embarrassing as he has been to Ohio State,  there really is nothing that can be done to remove him...legally.

Wow,  this doesn't happen often....this is courtesy of ....Fox News:


Verbal gaffes by Ohio State University presidentGordonGeehave long been a source of amusement and headaches at the school, whether he was calling the state governor a dummy two decades ago or more recently likening the challenges of holding together university divisions to the Polish Army.

University encourages coach to resign as NCAA troubles mount; sources say there's an unrelated investigation into Pryor's benefits
 
His teams found glory on the field. His clean-cut image made him one of the biggest icons in college sports. His players had unprecedented academic success for an Ohio State football team.

But Jim Tressel's impressive resume, one of the best in OSU history, wasn't enough to save him.

Greed....is Good.....and Greed ...is Bad

What's wrong with this picture?

I'm a college athlete....a football player.  I have earned many trophies, rings, plaques....I have received many gifts.

These things...I thought ......were mine.   And being mine....I can do with...what I please.


So ...I sell some of my things.....for money and other services.


But the NCAA says, "That's a violation".   They suspend me for 5 games....the first 5 games of next season.....but wait....


They're  letting me play in a bowl game in 2 weeks.  They've got to get their money.  And these fans.....pay to see me play.


Greed......good for the NCAA.......bad for me.....the college athlete.
