I read that he got in trouble for that at Youngstown St but he might have done it at Ohio St too.

Is Bridgewater going to be contending for the starting QB role or are they going to redshirt him?

[ChadFL]

Know what's funny? SI seemingly tried to get a cover story photo making Tressel "look bad" but failed. I seriously think this is part of the reason he got away with the act for so long. He just looks like a sweet, wholesome "family man."

[ChadFL]

The one question I have about the Ohio St. debacle is where is the sex? You can't have a massive, earth shattering scandel of this magnitude without some bizarre sex aspect. Where are the strippers/hookers in this story? Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner need to send their own investigators into Columbus ASAP. Inquiring minds want to know.

lol probably given free tuition to cover up rape or something .


But yeah thats why Tressel is still getting off pretty easy because that was his shtick and the big10ers at espn for so long "oh Tressel is so amazing does the right thing all the time"

In that case Roethlisberger went to the wrong college in Ohio.

Maybe that was the point. Juxtapositioning his "wholesome" look with his corruption.

[supersix4]

OTL just had some people from OSUs paper on that said he was spotted driving a 370z with temp tags (oh and the dummy has a suspended license )

Sounds like he's going in the supplemental draft.

If there is a supplemental draft. The terms of the former CBA said that if either side opted out there would still be a draft but didn't mention a supplemental draft. Although the NFL says there will be a supplemental draft (if there are any applicants) it's possible Pryor could sue the NFL and say they have no right to hold a supplemental draft and he should be a free agent when the lockout ends, and he would have a very solid case.

[ChadFL]

Ya, I got the impression Pryor just doesn't care anymore about any college career he might have had left when he rolled up on campus the other day AFTER the SI story broke in a pimped out $20K+ sports car with new owner tags. Usually when guys are under major NCAA investigation FOR driving 8 different cars in 3 years they keep a low profile. Oh, and Pryor's allegedly doesn't even have a valid driver's license, yet he's spotted driving everyday.

You have to think NFL teams will question this guy's character/decision making skills with how badly he's handled these major rules violations.

I'm not quite sure at the moment, but what I do know is they need to have a good QB who they know can win games when they need to do so.

[ChadFL]

So Spurrier is letting Garcia have ANOTHER chance?!? What's it been 5 or 6 suspensions now?

lol all the bad press whats his face at Oregon got and Garcia really has flown under the radar.

Shocked USC just got stripped of the National Championship

OSU should lose that win against the Razorbacks last year.

Doesn't really matter about stripping because we all saw the teams win and you can't take away those feelings, its just some stat on paper or a banner taken down at a school.

I think it's near certainty that Ohio St. has to forefit that BCS win over Arkansas and probably some or all the rest of their victories in the 2010 season. Then again it's the NCAA's fault for allowing those ineligible players to play. There was plenty enough against Pryor to suspend him for that BCS bowl game even back in January. The NCAA should have never let those 5 guys play to begin with.

After Reggie Bush and USC got hammered by the NCAA pretty much every reference to Bush's career got scrubbed by USC. Wonder if the same deal happens with Tressel at Ohio St. It really should. What Tressel did was far worse than what Reggie Bush and USC did. I still cannot believe hundreds of OSU students actually marched over to Tressel's home to celebrate his career after he resigned. Do those fools have any clue how much damage Tressel has done to their program and school's reputation?

More like brought it to light

But again we saw what Bush did in college and that can't ever get taken away no matter how much they try to act like it never happened.

I could see every Ohio State win from last season being taken away except the Arkansas win. The NCAA already knew about the players trading memorabilia for tattoos prior to that game and chose to let them stay eligible, and nothing has definitively come out since then that changes any player's statuses. Obviously more could come out with Pryor or other players that should have been ineligible but so far nothing has been proven that shows anyone else committed any violations.

That is very true.

[ChadFL]

Some guy on the radio today said the undefeated 2004 Auburn team should be awarded USC's vacated national title from that year. It would be insurance against them eventually being stripped of the 2010 national title.
