I’m disappointed in the production quality of the Corch videos, unless of course he built a set to look like his mom’s kitchen to cultivate an Everyman personna
Chef Goldblum do you accept requests for the secret podcast guests? I would like to hear a college football special podcast.
Glad to see the OSU 247 poster point out the decreasing quality of the food over the past few years at Bob Evans. People forget that.
They eat Bob Evans for dinner to stop them up after a Skyline lunch, then Skyline for lunch to loosen them up from a Bob Evans breakfast.
We would really be at a...crossroad! I-70 and I-75, crossroads of America?? Anyone? Spoiler Fuck you.
Now that they’re boycotting Bob Evans, OSU fans are going to have to become constipated the old-fashioned way: scamming ER nurses for morphine.
Those ADs are out of their minds. This is much worse than Penn State or Baylor, really bad comparisons.
Don’t use hyperbole to mask your pain. It’s ok to admit your coach is a scumbag; in fact, you might find it cathartic.
Spoiler: Spoiler On Thursday, Ohio State’s Board of Trustees formed a special, independent board working group related to the investigation involving Urban Meyer that was announced on Wednesday. The group includes current trustees Alex Fischer, Janet Porter and Alex Shumate. Also on the panel are former Ohio House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson, former acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Craig Morford and former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio Carter Stewart. The special working group will direct the work of the investigative team and be available to provide consultation and advice and assist with communication to the full board on the matter. This was the school’s latest update concerning Meyer’s future since my initial report Wednesday. Does an independent board help or hurt Meyer’s chances to remain Ohio State’s coach? I contacted about two dozen current FBS athletic directors, asking for their opinion on the situation at Ohio State. Here are some of the responses. All of the ADs were told they would not be identified. AD 1: “In today’s landscape, the (Ohio State) president is scared shitless. The presidents and ADs were fired at Penn State and Baylor. When the president decides this starts going downhill and lies can be proven, then everyone will run for the hills. They can’t let it get out of hand because then you don’t know where it goes. If Ohio State can fire Woody Hayes and Jim Tressel, it can fire Urban Meyer.” AD 2: “I’m sure they’d love to keep him, but they have to first protect the university.” AD 3: “It looks like a smart move in this case to provide a layer of objectivity and separation regardless of the outcome.” AD 4: “No, there’s no way you can keep him. Believe me, they’re trying to see how far and wide people knew – who knew what and when did they know. If they keep him, the onslaught will never end.” AD 5: “I think they will keep him if they can’t 100 percent fire with cause, because they don’t want to pay him.” AD 6: “I think they are trying to get a clear understanding of all the facts before determining the next steps.” AD 7: “There are many considerations/consequences and possible legal challenges to various aspects of the decision they could make. They will want to know all of that before conclusion. Ione would have to believe their goal is total integrity/credibility in final analysis, not popularity. They will want to stand strong behind whatever decision they reach.” AD 8: “I think they want to cover for whatever decision they come up with. The three board members and three outsiders gives good balance and is a defensible position on the outcome.” AD 9: “I believe they are trying to get to an objective truth and set of facts. It will take quite a bit of time and discovery (phone records, emails, documents from lots of people and sources etc.) to get to a point that he institution and board feels that they have a case for a solid and defensible decision (or grounds for defense from the counter suit if they fire him) either way.” AD 10: “Ohio State can’t afford to bring him back and then a year later something comes out. You did the first story, by now there’s 100 reporters trying to find anything new. When you have that many people looking they’re going to dig and dig and when you did that much, you’re going to find dirt. Nobody’s perfect.” AD 11: “I think they are handling exactly like they should with an independent group. Investigation has to be from outside athletics, trustees and board. Good job putting this group together.” AD 12: “This decision (on Meyer’s future) will be a true measure on the morality of college football in today’s landscape. That’s the reality. If he remains their coach, we’ve all lost our minds.” AD 13: “This is obviously big and three insiders and three respected outsiders will give the investigation credence. I think they are just looking to do it right.” AD 14: “You have to uncover everything based on how they’ve handled it so far, so the assistant’s (jobs) also could be at risk if they knew about it.” AD 15: “Separately, I imagine there is talk of settlement at some level – but I’d be surprised if Urban gives in anytime soon.” AD 16: “This sets up as ‘CYA’ if they want to keep him. But they are smart to have someone else adjudicate this given how Baylor and Penn State initially handled their cases (which resulted in the presidents and athletic directors getting fired).”
As fucked up as sexual abuse is, violence against women is much more ubiquitous in football right now.
Shelly and Urban heard about the abuse directly from the victim. At Penn State, Joe only heard innuendo and he passed it up the chain. Baylor was just a bad apple as head coach, every coach at OSU knew about it and did nothing.
