Sadly, the 5 culprits (athletes} that sold and traded {their stuff} will ruin JT's legacy, regardless if he stays or goes.  Yes JT made a poor judgement call to protect his family "(football team}, which any good parent would do.  The players arent saints, JT isnt a Saint , and the more how i see the NCAA operates they arent Saints, as well as the corrupt BCS.  I do agree with Penguinpower, ESPN is biased and have no creditabilty when it comes to college football.  They are the voice of the SEC.  The Auburn mess should prove it. Why no deluge of ESPN reporters on the Auburn campus when Cam Newton was exposed as the fraud that he is? But when the Clarett thing went down they looked every nook and crannie to paint a picture that OSU and JT are gangsters, thugs, and snake oil salesman.  They never tried to espose the coach at USC after the Bush scandal, gave Bowden a free pass as well.  Oregons trouble is hush, hush as well, with the recruiting service scandal.  Thats because whose one of the biggest advertisers Nike...Oregons biggest monetary booster connect the dots . The money trail is there. ESPN in my opinion is a joke.

IP...just like the way the dots look...But thanks for the kind response...i think we all know that you think your...doesnt stink....but maybe in time you will mellow out...but i doubt it...

As for JT..yes he is gone and really I dont care...but the guy put Youngstown State on the map and that will never change...I am glad we had him and  enjoyed some great football.

Pita,

Please understand that some of us just do not care about Ohio State, and the troubles that Tressel is enduring have no interest for us.  I certainly appreciate what the man did for us for fifteen years, but it should be obvious that Tressel will not survive this.  He was doomed from the moment that he notified the quarterback's "handler" about the allegations instead of his AD or president.

Really...i guess you have a problem with the new indoor complex that he gave what a couple a million...we will have him take it back...and you can pick up the slack!!!! oh you can't!!!  JT will always be a part of our football legacy and unfortnately some of the haters can't understand that!!!

Could care less if the MAC is weaker in basketball..Butler is the Horizon..we are along for the ride and up to now other than getting the little subsidy money from BUTLERS success our Men's program has done little to justify any excitement in Ohio's recruiting wars....as for what Kent Hired...they did what they always have done since Waters turned that program around...They hired from within...

Butler comes in flat and we got lucky and beat them...Butler players are embarrassed and get their ass chewed out and are lights out the rest of the season...instead of a program defining moment YSU goes 1-7 the reast of the way and loses in the first round of the league turny...and our 1 win wasnt even a league win..2-16 in the league..next to last place...Slocum is a hot  on the sports radio and tv circuit because of Butlers success...isnt America wonderful...and now we are waiting for our stimulus package that Butler earned the league...LOL

Agreed Pride...the defenders of.." what do u expect when we have no money" and we should just be happy we field a team ...BUT we are in the Horizon.." stuff is getting old...and then i will get blasted by a few of the long time posters for ...being too critical


Strollo is on record that he knows W's will be not the emphasis ...what coach would come here and believes he has a chance? We are IN  over our heads being in the Horizon....JUST BECAUSE BUTLER IS in the FINAL FOUR.. doesnt mean squat ...its embarrassing to see that a few are HAPPY to see that because of us recieving a BUTLER  handout of some of their hard earned cash...Seriously ..it is embarrassing...

Strollo isnt going anywhere...when the installed the local girl in as PREZ sealed that deal....so be ready for another 10-13 win season for SLOCUM...thats what is expected that is where STROLLO has set the bar...a bar of mediocrity..at least in mens BB

Nice win by Butler.  Horrible end of game shot selection by Florida.  Brad Stevens may not make as much as Eddie Munster (err Billy Donovan) but he was worth a whole lot more today.

That was funny about Donovan...Mack for Butler is a player...thought Howard looked tired today and at times he wasnt even looking to shoot.
