1. What fans on this site are discrediting the accuser?

2. The statement was that there are more potential facts coming out about this on both sides and SBH's interpretation of that is it means abuse is OK?

I don't believe that is that is what the original post meant and it was an ignorant comment to jump to that conclusion.

Rumors swirling amongst the Columbus faithful that she is no saint either. Sounds like a dysfunctional relationship on both sides. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks and who else steps forward.

This is your statement of “potential facts”? Lol
But you aren’t an Ohio State or Urban Meyer fan huh? Riiight.

Yes objectivity is the main issue here, whether one likes/dislikes Urban Meyer etc. This issue could set the stage for years to come on what happens in these situations. Whereas I thought Coach Urban Meyer was gone at the end of last week, with the naming of this Special Panel, along with Urban Meyer's own statement, I am now beginning to think he might keep his job after all.

While we are at it, one more thing that bothers me. Living in Columbus I come across people all the time who are Uber Buckeye fans, have specialized license plates in every manner of form that say Buckeyes or Ohio State. Half the time these people are MAC grads and even Bobcat alums. They haven't been to a Bobcat game since they were students and if their life depended upon it couldn't name a single Bobcat head of any sport since they left campus.

On the other hand, we have individuals who occasionally make their presence known here by attacking people accusing them of being a secret Buckeye fan (as if they were secretly sending stolen data to Havana or Pyongyang,) just because they mention the school up north or reference a breaking news story. Why anyone would let Ohio State fans occupy that much space in their brains is beyond me. We had alumni dead and buried before they dug the foundation for the first campus building in Columbus. They will always get more media attention, ESPN coverage, high quality of recruits etc. We have made tremendous strides since I was in Athens in the 1980s and 1990s. We have discussed ad nauseam what it was like then to get on TV, or get Bobcat apparel once you left Athens. Let's focus on the positive and leave it at that. I will know get off my soap box!

If Urban Meyer doesn't get fired, it will be because of the "Working Group" (with former federal judicial officials on it) convened by Ohio State giving him and the university an out which will be a method that will be used by powerful employers from here on out to cover their bases.

Blaming news sources for news they don't like? I wonder where they learned that?

The article you linked to included reference to a sign that said ESPN = Fake News. Is there a way to discuss why that's happening that's apolotitical? It is literally the President's catch phrase these days.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for pointing out when Ohio State fans look stupid. So don't let me stop you.

C Money if Urban Meyer is back on the sidelines as you and I now feel will take place, the Ohio State "Working Group" I commented on a few posts above your post, will be the future model for all coaches, business leaders etc engulfed in a similar scandal. Bring in retired federal judicial officials to give your coach or business leader some cover and your university or business can wash their hands of it.

That being said, am I the only one shaking my head at ACC, SEC and Big 12 pundits and sportswriters lecturing Urban Meyer and preaching the Gospel of Accountability when many of the programs they cover have hardly been Apostles of Virtue! There are not only books you could write about some of these programs, but extended volumes. Miami and Oklahoma could be a Ken Burns PBS mini-series in and of itself!

Agreed. I think this is one of the bigger issues that triggered my response to this situation. There seems to be a feeling that the the Urban situation is being rolled into other athletic scandal situations and people have taken on a "mob mentality" to target OSU/Meyer without really stopping to think about this.

On a side note, OSU is really in a no-win position here -- fire Urban and you're likely in a high-profile lawsuit and/or big payout. Keep Urban and the national narrative is that OSU turns it head the other way on issues. Hey, if OU becomes the best college football team in Ohio, I'm all for that.

At Kelly's they're just victims of negligent manslaughter or get pressured into suicide by team members.

I will make fun of Buckeye fans whenever and wherever I can. If you want to cheer for the buckeyes go to their fan site you schmuck.

Old enough not to care about buckeye fans or their feelings. So stay off that soapbox if you don’t want rebuttals.

Frasier is my go-to rerun. Used to be Seinfeld, but even that got old eventually. Bulldog virtually disappeared in later seasons, correct?

Hey George, the ocean called. They want their shrimp back.
