linkSchools in glass houses…This media castigation runs in cycles and right now OSU is in a “down cycle” on coverage and the casting of aspersions. USC loses 3-4 top-tier players yet you hardly hear about it. Tennessee has 18-20 incidents in the past two seasons and – well…it is the SEC, so go figure. The Buckeyes have one brain-addled tailback seeking attention and a quarterback with a $500 advance on a job and the media vultures portray the Buckeyes as the second coming of the James Gang. And the future (i.e. “recruiting”)? How about all those Walker Ashley guys who didn’t qualify academically around the country – compared to OSU’s virtually pristine record this year of bringing in quality – and qualified – kids. Sure, OSU is not without sin, but before you cast that first stone, hey – look at Georgia. They had a class of 19 last year. And seven of those recruits didn’t qualify for the school!
Where’s the coverage, there? Where’s the smarmy innuendo and glib comments? We will leave that for ESPN to get on their program. Well, once they straighten out their overt hypocrisy with Lou Holtz, that is…
The whole article is pretty good, but I thought I'd pull this snid bit out just for A Mac.
