Ohiobucks Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Very well written piece by a former player... Jon Thoma: In defense of my coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 That's all you need to know right there. You didn't hear any USC players stepping up for Pete Carroll when he tucked tail and fled to the NFL before the NCAA dropped the hammer on that program. Tress is a good man, victimized by a corrupt system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 When a guy pays you your whole collegiate career and gets you whatever you want, you'd stick up for him too. Just sayin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 If that were true, John, then way didn't Ray Small defend him? Anyway, the kid who wrote that article was a punter...and probably one of the worst punters OSU has had in my lifetime. Kid would have been lucky to have a booster hand him $5.

So let me get this straight. SI and ESPN writers covering the biggest story in college football are all risking their jobs by writing biased and inaccurate stories. However, Ohio State players who were recruited by, sucked in, and paid by Tressel (and dont think for one second this guy didnt get any benefits) are giving us completely unbiased and accurate reports.

muggs Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) People go out of their way routinely to emphasize how great this guy's character is, how much he impacted their lives, how he was like a father figure. You ever hear that about Pete Carroll? These prayer sessions Tressel had for his players EVERYDAY...that was just to pull the wool over everyone's eye, right John? Come on. The 'sources' in SI were ex-con's who now own tatoo parlors. Wow, credible... This stuff goes on at every program. If SI wants to report what the ex-con's told them. Okay, not the best journalism I've ever seen, but they could at least save the personal attacks on a man's character. Thoma said it best. Tressel's care and concerns for his players is what ultimately brought him down. If he never sends Pryor's mentor that email...maybe he gets away with this. But he was trying to help the kid...a kid who was the biggest waste of life to ever step foot on the hallowed turf at The Shoe. That's what you get when you pull a kid out of PA...bunch of punks.

buckbuster11 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I told you Pryor would be a disaster. You were to busy putting up his posters on your bedroom wall to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
