1. It's always disappointing to hear about a situation where a young student makes a mistake and it could potentially impact the rest of their life. I think we've all done some stupid stuff at OU, but for most of us, it didn't mean risking a potential scholarship, however...

2. I don't believe he had a scholarship. I thought he was a walk-on, so...

3. While a nice local player, I would think if he was the future Bobcat QB, he might have a scholarship locked up*, therefore...

4. I'm not particularly worried that the program will not rebound from a freshman walk-on QB getting suspended indefinitely.


*yes, I do understand there have been QBs that walked on and became star QBs (see Baker Mayfield)

So what did this knucklehead do?

The future? Time is a flat circle, my friend. Round and round it spins. What was yesterday is today and will be tomorrow.

So on a more positive spin for local players, who are your all time favorite/most successful Bobcats who hailed from Southeast Ohio?

I don't know if you consider Martins Ferry to be Southeast Ohio but Chad Brinker is my numero uno. Freddie Ray, too (who I believe is now coaching the Purple Riders?).

I can remembers on here being big on Adam Porter (again does Chillicothe count as SEO?)but I think that had more to do with his sister hehe.

Freddie is the 1st year HC of the Bulldogs of Bridgeport High School, which happens to name John Havlicek (OSU/Boston Celtics), Bobby Douglas (US Olympics/Iowa State Wrestling HC), Joe & Phil Niekro (NL/AL Baseball), Johnny Blatnik (Philadelphia Phillies), Stan Goletz (Chicago White Sox) and Bill Jobko (OSU/NFL - Rams, Vikings & Falcons) as alumni. BHS/Bridgeport is right next door to Martins Ferry. The two communities border each other along the Ohio River in Belmont County, Ohio. State Route 7 runs through both communities and each school is a member of the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC).
