    Probably nothing. Their idea of much more to come is Bob Holtzman giving a detailed account of what tonight's training table spread consists of.

    No I wasn't. I jump on anyone who posts garbage thinking it's credible.

    Again, get at me when more than 6 are proven guilty. Until then, I don't give two craps about Jermil Martin or anyone else not named as one of the original 6 who were proven guilty.

    Remember when Tress and TP chestbumped at the Sugar Bowl and Buckeyes fans were like "yea man, Tress is excited, we are fired up now." Watch closely, Tress didn't really want to do the chestbump, he knew deep down he would be promoting TP.

    I stated a couple months ago that Martin was heavily involved. Martin admitted to receiving cars and drugs. If the SI article failed to mention him then I would her given the article no credibility. But Martin was absolutely involved and he admitted it and shared details. That interview was shared with me by someone very credible.

    Why?

    What drugs? You mean dope? Not meth, no coke, no oxy. Weed is ok, except when you get caught speeding.
  • thedynasty1998
    I always assumed pot, but really don't know.

    After the thing with Pryor came out the guy I know said it was just the tip of the iceberg and if someone started to dig in they would discover more, such as drugs and cars. That is what I posted on here after having the conversation.

    Well if it's just weed, it's fine. Drive a temp tag car to tattoo parlor, get a free tat for some stolen cleats, smoke some weed, drive home. Plus I think weed is legal in Ohio, no biggie.

    I think all of the media learned that if they pretend like they have a huge story about OSU everyone is going to tune in to hear what it is.

    Yeah that bit about storm is hilarious. We were all in the lockeroom today and unless he has one on his asshole I'm fucking sure he has no tats at all.

    I used to hang out at a tattoo parlor and I don't have a tattoo.

    Can the guys you know on the team not read? This has been posted about 14 times already, but I'll post the paragraph pertaining to Klein again. Send it to the guys you know.
    Ellis, who spent time in and around the tattoo parlor for nearly 20 months, says that in addition to those six, he witnessed nine other active players swap memorabilia or give autographs for tattoos or money. Those players were defensive back C.J. Barnett, linebacker Dorian Bell, running back Jaamal Berry, running back Bo DeLande, defensive back Zach Domicone, linebacker Storm Klein, linebacker Etienne Sabino, defensive tackle John Simon and defensive end Nathan Williams. Ohio State declined to make any of its current players available to respond to SI.

    Well, then that obviously 100% means that there is only a chance that he possibly sold stuff for money now doesn't it :rolleyes:

    Yeah, but the way you and everyone else before you that pointed out that he doesn't have any tats are talking, its as if the story has zero chance at being correct solely because of Klein. And before you say your standard "Please show me where I said that," it is implied by the way each post has been worded. Otherwise, what is the point of sharing that message from your buddies that is already common knowledge and then ROFLing at it?

    They picked a hell of a year to divide the Big 10 into the Leaders and Legends divisions.

    Karen, I just got on here and went through quite a number of threads, pages and posts, and I have to ask--do you have a job?

    Nope it doesn't. Just like him not having a tat doesn't mean 100% he is innocent.

    Did you miss the part of

    So yep, show me where I said that, because I was obviously laughing at that part (you know, the funny part)

    At worst, he was a conduit for improper benefits, as Clarett alleged. The latter interpretation is suggested by a story that has long circulated among college coaches and was confirmed to SI by a former colleague of Tressel's from Earle Bruce's staff at Ohio State in the mid-1980s. One of Tressel's duties then was to organize and run the Buckeyes' summer camp. Most of the young players who attended it would never play college football, but a few were top prospects whom Ohio State was recruiting. At the end of camp, attendees bought tickets to a raffle with prizes such as cleats and a jersey. According to his fellow assistant, Tressel rigged the raffle so that the elite prospects won -- a potential violation of NCAA rules. Says the former colleague, who asked not to be identified because he still has ties to the Ohio State community, "In the morning he would read the Bible with another coach. Then, in the afternoon, he would go out and cheat kids who had probably saved up money from mowing lawns to buy those raffle tickets. That's Jim Tressel."
    IF this is true, that's part that I would be extremely disappointed in. Of course the 'colleague' wants to remain nameless, but I would think the reporter could have tracked that down a little better to see if the big time recruits were winning all the raffles.
