Anyone with an IQ higher then a cheeseburger knows OSU is on the ropes with this story. There is dissent in the ranks, as apparently there are a couple of people associated with that shit stain program that are capable of thinking about more then just themselves. And they (OSU) will gladly throw anyone under the bus at this point to get this thing behind them.

Fucking with Herman is the outlier. Why? Why bring someone who has been gone for a couple of years into the conversation? Logic suggests that both parties have information that could at the very least could embarrass the other. Yet OSU thinks this is a solid strategy? I believe they made a mistake mentioning Herman. Ok, he had to answer to the strip club story, but that is over. Now what you got?

Not to mention that I also believe that other coaches in what most consider a fraternity of sorts. Will (if they have not already) side with Herman on this. Meyer is going to find himself on an island by trying to shit on other members of the same coaching community.

  • The great irony of this thread is that Smith turned a position at Texas down when offered to him by Herman who was well aware of his relationship issues. The same Herman who hired Casey Horny.

  • There is no way any of this will affect Tom Herman. However, he will still be fired this year for a losing record.

    If he's they guy who's been droppin' dimes to McMurphy, it's a scumbag move, not befitting the HC of an elite university like Texas.  But hardly illegal, or anything like that.  Not sure why you guys

The ESPN headline says “Herman:  Happy to talk strip club visit with NCAA”.  Sounds like it was a legendary night.

And there it is...that headline might as well be a line in the sand Herman drew with his middle finger towards meyer and tOSU.

Haha. That headline is everywhere. From AP to ESPN. Herman willing to talk to NCAA if asked. 

OSU is run by idiots.

Oh how beautiful it would be if Herman had a story about how Meyer sent him to Florida to take coaches to a strip club in violation of NCAA rules. 

This is like in Hunt for Red October where that guy say “you are an ass, you have killed us!”

I like cheeseburgers.

Nice two punch combo from Herman.  My wife knew where I was at and I'll gladly talk to the NCAA about it.

He should have added that when he got home to his wife, after that trip, he made sweet love to her, rather than giving her a roundhouse to the chops.

The only thing OSU is trying to do here is take the heat off themselves.  It is backfiring.  Sally Jenkins had a great article in the Washington Post about this whole mess.  She mentioned how in Meyer's last six year at Florida he had 30 players arrested.  What a great guy.

Urban Liar and OSU made a bad mistake in trying to shift some blame etc to Herman.

Shows again how they are missing the point around the coverup of Smith's activities.

A OSU trustee that was part of committee just quit as well and is going public with the farce of an investigation OSU conducted.

This is only going to get worse. I firmly believe and will ping CDC (not that I am a huge donor but I give a decent amount) that IMO we should cancel our series with OSU as they are complete fuckstains.

I think the deluded degenerates in Ohio really believe Herman snitched for recruiting purposes. Their response to “Urban protects wife beaters” was “Herman objectifies women.” I presume that’s an effort to get moms to think Tom hates women more than Urban in this imaginary recruiting war. Their paranoia and obsession with this fictional narrative may have led them right to the (otherwise impotent) NCAA’s doorstep. All they had to do was shut the fuck up and let it blow over. I really detest that whole institution. I hope their whole athletic department implodes over this.

If Ohio State loses 3-4 games this year, the fan base will turn on him bigly. I bet he retires citing health concerns within the next few seasons and Day takes over.

The thing about fake heart disease is that it can result in fake heart attacks anytime. Very hard illness to predict sometimes.

Anything beyond this season would be a surprise.  He can't deal with this kind of heat.  I had forgotten he wasn't allowed to be at the first 3 games, at this point, that is a fucking break for him, he doesn't have to deal with shit publicly. OSU needs to lift the suspension ASAP

I think a fake heart attack feels pretty predictable at some point this season. 

OSU was playing checkers, "We bring up Herman and Smith and the strip club night...they take to social media and stay stupid shit implicating themselves in all other kinda shady stuff.  We completely misdirect everybody.  They might talk to some reporters or TV or their own fan bases and obviously won't corroborate each other's stories, which then strengthens our story as the only one that's had a higher education evaluation and investigation.  Totally makes us look in the right since no reliable source has said otherwise.  So they talk to McMurphy or ESPN, so what---those are discredited journalists at this point.  Case Closed, Buckeye victory."

Herman was playing chess:  "Let's go over everybody's head, straight to the NCAA and talk about everything they want to talk about regarding Ohio State." 

OSU: "Shit, we did not see that coming."

ZS playing tic-tac-toe: "Where's the fucking clown emoji on this Cricket phone?!?!?!"

UM released this statement....

 

HUH?

Denying that he lied is going to turn out well for him. He should do that more.

I assume that's on Twitter? People who twitter should simply respond with:

"The Investigative Report also found that YOU WIPED YOUR PHONE to hide incriminating evidence, YOU LIED TO INVESTIGATORS, and YOU FALSELY ACCUSED Courtney Smith of recanting her allegation."

Jesus Christ. He’s still making statements keeping this in the media? Still denying he lied? 

Good grief they are their own worst enemy.

Anyone else reading this as though it's directed to anyone at osu having second thoughts about their decision, vs directed to the general public?

Does he not want this story to go away? Because that’s what it seems like

His PR person needs to be canned

From a pr perspective, doing this makes no sense. 

That's what makes me wonder if he's feeling like the backlash has been too much and he's gently reminding anyone at osu reconsidering firing him that their own investigation has wording that seems to clear him from the worst stuff (but it doesn't, really).

He’s feeling this on the recruiting trail. He’s hoping recruits and their families will read his words and not the report. What a lying slime ball. 

I love him highlighting in Second: about them saying he did not deliberately lie, rather made misstatements and misspoke.

 

This is a very poor attempt at damage control. Smells of panic.

Meyer should be letting this fade out but instead he is stoking the fire. Not a smart PR move. 

He's probably living in an echo chamber right now. Combine some obsequious minions with narcissistic personality disorder and you get potentially a complete failure to appreciate reality. 

Hey Urban, no one outside the Ohio State echo chamber, except the one regent that quit, believes a word from the internal investigation. So you quoting it to show that you have been absolved from this situation isn't going to end well for you.

Wish I werent doing keto, otherwise I'd be enjoying some popcorn while watching this trainwreck.  

Some of you guys are misreading the situation. The OSU story isn’t gaining momentum. A groundswell isn’t happening. All that’s happening are a few lingering comments and questions. This is over and done with. OSU and Meyer are totally in the clear. The only thing that re-ignites the issue is some additional, new, major fact that comes out that demonstrates another major error. We live in an ADHD news world. This story will burn out shortly.

Actually, he basically said "the board didn't think I lied. The board didn't think I did anything on purpose, etc."

Yes. He clearly intends his unstated conclusion, however, to be adopted by the mindless readers of his tweet. "I did not lie. I am an honest and good coach. You want me winning games at tpOSU. Trust in me."

rooster in the hen house or something to that effect.  he runs the show, pr be damned.

Purdue is a Big Ten rival

Orville Redenbacher is a Purdue alumnus

I am with you. I cannot fucking believe that he released that statement. It's mindblowing. Did he do this on his own or through a university channel? This is fucking awesome either way.

It’s so illogical you have to wonder if they really do have factions there that want him gone.
