  I haven't seen anything in his defense either, which is odd and could be very telling.

  It's relevant because he trolls every thread of some ohio team in a passive aggressive matter. Not surprised that doesn't make sense to you, since you practically do the same thing. Your shit was already thrown in your face a few weeks ago regarding your idiotic posts on cavs/basketball related threads.

  Childish games? I am just putting forth a disclaimer for everyone as to why you have a 100% rating of being the idiot devils advocate in every Ohio related thread. Great response though, I probably would have completely avoided the post too if I was called out in a blatant lie with evidence. Have fun trolling though.
  
  
  I am sure idiot Lotz is going to come to your defense too, since you two are the passive aggressive twins.

  The only people that are going to agree with you are CoA and Raw Dawg. Nothing was thrown in my face about cavs/basketball. Go to the basement or say something relative to the thread topic.

  Its amazing that for 4 days all of the Tressel discussion has been actually good discussion between fans of pretty much all fan bases. It comes as no shock that like_like finally chimes in and doesn't say anything about Tressel, but quotes and calls out dynasty for discussing the topic at hand.

  Looks like everyone but me made you out to be an idiot in this thread. Should be interesting to see how you handle evidence. My guess is you will handle it the same way as your idiot boyfriend dynasty.

  lol at calling this a "discussion." It was idiot dynasty being called out for being an idiot for about 6 pages. Great job. Do you hug his nuts tighter than you hug lebron's? (let me guess you are going to mention something about CoA and I!?!?!? or maybe rawdawg!?!??!?!? OH NOO!!!!)

  Do you have any idea when the original story was released by Yahoo! or when the first discussion of this situation started on OC? There are 10 other threads discussing Tressel.

  MANY times. The times they pile on are when a school doesn't self report, doesn't cooperate, hides stuff, are disingenuous, don't self punish .

  Yea but in middle school there were consequences, on the internet you can say whatever you want without fear of consequence.
  
  Unless you consider going to "The Basement" a consequence.

  Ohio State coach Jim Tressel apologizes at first appearance since getting two-game suspension
  ASSOCIATED PRESS
  CANTON, Ohio — Ohio State coach Jim Tressel apologized to a room full of fans during his first public speaking engagement since being suspended two games and fined for violating NCAA rules.
  
  Speaking to a packed dining room full of 400 fans — many of them clad in the Buckeyes' scarlet and gray colors — at a luncheon sponsored by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Tressel began his remarks by saying he couldn't say much about the recent troubles at Ohio State.
  
  He then said, "I sincerely apologize for what we've been through."
  
  Dressed in a charcoal suit and dark red tie, Tressel also apologized for the penalties he and the school are facing and for being a distraction to Ohio State's top-ranked basketball team, which enters this week's NCAA tournament as the No. 1 overall seed.
  
  Tressel received a polite standing ovation the moment he entered the room at Tozzi's on 12th restaurant. He was joined at the luncheon by several former players, including Dustin Fox and Tim Anderson, who played on Ohio State's 2002 national championship team under Tressel.
  
  Last week, Tressel was suspended for the first two games next season and fined $250,000 for failing to notify the school about information he received last April involving two players and questionable activities involving the sale of memorabilia.
  
  The NCAA could levy additional penalties on Tressel, who has been at Ohio State since 2001. Tressel has attended the luncheon since he coached at Youngstown State.

  Interestingly enough Woody Hayes made his first apology after the Clemson incident at a Canton Boosters event.

  Has the NCAA responded to the suspensions yet or given a timeline? Anything?
• vball10set

  no....I was curious to see if they were going to implement anything regarding spring practice, and if they are, I'd expect something to come down pretty quickly

  Anyone know if the NCAA is conducting their own investigation, or are just reviewing what OSU sent them?
• Manhattan Buckeye

  Tressel and OSU should swallow the medicine and deal with it....even IF (and that's an if) the NCAA imposes more sanctions.
  
  For the time being , Tressel and Smith should look towards the future and look to the next HC, it was going to happen anyway (Tressel isn't getting younger), it is just accelerated now.
