Actually for many Ohio State fans the vest leaving will be a good thing.

yep.. I am sure the "scrutiny" is what made him resign... had nothing to do with that whole CHEATING thing

meh I would hardly consider that cheating(but was a violation) but the haters are gonna hate. Ohio state reminds of the Steelers and Pats... People love to hate them comes with the territory...I do not have a horse in the race but love watching the debates

Surprised he has now resigned after weathering the "scrutiny" this long.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ THAT is what I am saying

I am surprised as well brother.. Probably will take a year or 2 off and be a hot commodity when he ever decides to throw his hat back in the ring.

Took him long enough..Can't wait for OSU to get the hammer dropped on them!

[wheeler281]

as much as I like to see some OSU fans I know squirm especially ones that hate the Steelers I do not hink it will happen

I freely acknowledge that it is against the rules, but still find it hard to believe that selling your own trophies is that huge of a deal. I truly believe that it is crap that you cannot do what you want with your own items.

Anyway, I agree with Wheeler, when you attain a level of sucess other fans are jelous of, the haters come out. I liken it to the Yankees. You either love the Yanks, or hate the Yanks, not much middle ground there.

Ohio State does not = YANKEES


more like Tamp Bay Devil Rays

two weeks ago my cousin fed me a crazy rumor. he told me one of his best friends is a former captain at Ohio State University. His friend told him that Jon Gruden is putting together a staff and that JT would be resigning soon. I have a feeling its gonna happen. Jon Gruden does a LOT for Ohio State and Jim Tressell and knows all the players very well including our hot shot freshman QB Braxton Miller.

[ac-n-mike]

Gruden would be a HUGE pick up and I think he would be an awesome college coach

[FrankMcdee]

Their level of sucess in the Big 10 the past decade certainly rivals any run the Yanks have put together. Historically, they are a storied football program. Seven national championships, many Heisman winners, Chic Harley was voted the greatest college football player of the first 1/2 of the 1900's, the most academic all americans, the most first round draft picks..... I think your analogy is way off.. maybe we arent the Yankees, but certainly not the Rays. Possibly more like the Red Sox or Dodgers. The Rays are not one of a handful of the most storied franchises in baseball. I think when you look historically: Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, Oklahoma

holy crap Frankie....!!!!!!!!!!

did you actually mention Ohio State and Michigan in the same sentence? you did! you did!

I think when you look historically: Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, Oklahoma

....and John Gruden to Ohio State? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would almost force me to cheer for them....NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
