The Urban Meyer announcement

[RegentDenali]

I. Just wondering if the line on sept 1st will fall. 37.5 is a lot to lay.

That football game will resemble a NFL SB team vs a special olympics team whose specialty is potato sack racing. With or without Urban on the sidelines.

So Urbs says he acted with his heart not his head in keeping/trying to help ZS, then a couple minutes later he says the most I know about ZS is work related. Lmaooooo

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I'm probably in the minority on this. But, I think he should have been fired or fully reinstated.

This looks more like a save face act...and it ends up looking worse.

Other than costing these two some money (they have plenty) and saving tOSU some money, what in the ever loving hell does this accomplish?

Unfortunately we live in an age where politics play more of a role in sports reporting and sports media. Than the actual sports news or procedures. It took longer to find a solution and write a statement to appease these outlets. Than it did to see procedure was followed.

Props to these dudes taking questions, but I've never seen people look more uncomfortable.

I understand that. But they’re up 7 scores in the 3rd quarter and in “we don’t give a shit anymore today” mode and Oregon State gets two cheap ones. That’s a tough one to take. I’m just wondering if the line will drop without their HC

His lawyer told him to say that to maximize plausible deniability.

I get a pass because I have a heart of gold. Like a hooker on tv.

This shit is a nothing burger. A coach schooled his drunk ass wife and you'd think the sky was falling.

Nope, what came out tonight entirely torpedoes ALL of your bullshit over the last two weeks.

This isn't about some rogue media member(s) looking for click bait making things up. Two very powerful men were indeed disciplined for the elements that came out of this story. This is now entirely undisputed FACT. What was reported in fact happened and was not followed up according to policy.

At the end of the day it wasn't a huge egregious error, but an error none the less.

This process had ZERO to do with appeasing the media. Nothing. It didn't take longer because of anything to do with ESPN and your obsession with blaming them despite the fact they weren't involved in this story at all, or at least any more than every other clearinghouse that carried reports of others outside their organization.

You were entirely wrong and that is clear as day now.

Admitted to misstatements, lmao, just can’t use the word.

They're shooting for a playoff spot and the playoff committee has admitted that they dont give a ratass about SOS. Its gonna be kobra kai time.

 

[Scapegoat]

This is a joke. If they can't find anything he shouldn't be suspended. This is Ohio St bending over for NCAA/PC. Grow a set and say we looked into it and didn't find anything more he could have done to stop his coach from being a woman beater and taking pictures of his dick at the White House. So he's going to be on the sideline every f-ing game. And if you don't like it we have another asst coach way more f'ed up than the last one.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

I'm sure Meyer fighting this suspension speech at the podium will resemble

It's Meyers, cot sammit!!!

 

[WizardHawk]

And there was the Shelly text question. His answer was he didn't know, and now the interwebz will blow up again lol.

 

[thedddd]

Pretty much sums up the whole situation.

 

[Red_Alert]

Waiting to see if any media member has the balls to ask him about his wife’s knowledge. I’m guessing no. They will still use it as a talking point

Urbs just said he was 'unaware of the text messages'.

cough, cough

 

[podsox]

Urbs just said he was 'unaware of the text messages'.

cough, cough

Happy it was asked. Can’t stand when the media gives weak questions

 

[thunderc]

Anyone that is married really believe that he didn’t know about the texts on his wife’s phone?

 

[ericd7633]

Holy shit that press conference was a huge failure. I mean that was a fucking embarrassment.

Bahahaha! That rocket totally kicked that tard in the ass

When you have a job that keeps you away from home 18+ hours a day much of the year? Sure.

I can tell you I don't know shit about what my wife texts with her friends, and really don't want to. So there's that.
