Urban Helped Cover Up Attempted Murder

[HammerDown]

I know you hate OSU fans (as I've read from one of your posts before)

Completely ambivalent to OSU fans so you're mistaken there. The only fans I hate are San Francisco Giants, Anaheim Angels, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and LSU.

So I assume from your terse response that you'll be bedding us adieu and moving on to more objective sports forums?

I won't be bedding any of you, and I'm staying right here.

I have never claimed he went to the police. I have said that Joe did the minimum he was required to do under the law but that was not enough becuase of who he was. It is possible he was involved in the cover up with those others at PSU but this case never went to the "police", it only was told to a man who ran the PSU police who was also involved.
The UF incident was not on campus and did not involve the FL police. It does sound fishy as the witness took back his identification of who he thought did this. But to say Meyer covered up a attempted murder or had the power to do that is crazy. I would say that same thing about any coach in the country.

Yeah, I just saw that I mistyped. It should have said that you said he was part of the cover up by NOT going directly to the police.

At some point it went to the police because Sandusky is in jail and the the folks who actually covered it up are facing charges.

I'm not saying Meyer covered anything up. But to claim that he didn't have the power to cover up attempted murder, but another coach had the power to cover up child r*pe is pretty disingenuous!!

Additionally, there are many ways for a coach to cover up or "influence" an investigation. In some cases it can be as simple as "vouching" for the kid whether directly to the police or indirectly through another powerful member of the community.

Bottom line, absolutely NO ONE thought that what happened at PSU was possible until it happened. Why would anyone think that anything is not possible after the PSU situation?

Just wishful thinking from Gator fans that wouldnt be hating on him if he'd stayed at UF

If you actually listened to Gator fans rather than assuming we're all envious of you for having CUM as a probl....I mean coach, you'd know that most all of us didn't want him back after he quit the first time. He'd lost the QB, OC, and DC that made him the success he was at UF, and as a result lost his fire and will to try to win on his own.

For having the nam CaptObvious, you don't catch on to the obvious so quickly......

Just says reporting not involved. Unless I am missing something.

Yeah, the language is ambiguous so I'm confused as well.

In 1979 my life changed forever when I saw Magic Johnson in the colors of royalty. Being raised by a lifelong Celtics fanatic father got to be quite confrontational at times. No shit, we never spoke a single month of May or June during the entire decade of the 80's.

What actually happened is that the OSU compliance office (which is among the best in the country BTW) follows all of the recruits we are interested in. Reading articles and news reports etc on all of them and found Rivals article that referenced a violation and turned it into the B1G/NCAA to be looked into like they are required to.

I think you are comparing two different things. Could a coach cover up something that happened on campus and did not go to the off campus police? yes. But that is not this case. This was off campus and was handled by off campus police. I am not saying Meyer could not cover up smaller thing by calling the police but attempted murder, no. I do not think I am being disingenuous at all because I see a difference in the two cases.

 

[Gatorlick]

Funny.

Some people have to pray and hope that tOSU gets in trouble because its the only way their teams can beat the Buckeyes.

Sorry for being awesome.

2006 National Championship Game comes to mind here.....and 2007 NCG for that matter.....

What trouble was OSU in those years??

Ah ha, there it is.

EDIT: Shit, nevermind. I don't embed tweets often so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

How come OSU didn't play in a bowl game again?

Urban Meyer denies turning in Florida for secondary violation - CBSSports.com

It wasn't Urban, it was the OSU Compliance Office, which is required to do so.

However, it makes for a juicier article for that dumbshit writer to say it was Urban.

Looks like somebody in the compliance department did it, not Meyer. So you are right Urban denies, what he didnt do.

Because they do not lie as good at the SEC teams.

Class trip.




Jk. Edit: (which is NOW SINCE GETTING OUR ASSES REAMED BY THE NCAA, among the best in the country BTW)

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Authorities in the Massachusetts murder case against former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez have reached out to the police in Gainesville, Fla., in hopes of determining if Hernandez had any role in a 2007 shooting that left two men wounded.

where is this FLA murder?

I don't think that the difference is as big as you'd like it to be.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say that Urban made a phone call to "vouch" for the kid. Doesn't matter whether he called the police directly or called a booster that he knew had "influence" and that phone call resulted in the police moving their investigation "in another direction". Isn't that still a "cover up"? In either case, whether it was making sure that an incident never involved the police or whether it was ensuring that the police stopped looking at someone's potential involvement, it is still covering something up to prevent the police from doing their job.
