I've been dreaming of this day since I chose to come to Ohio. In the event that this article introduces new allegations and eventually leads to significant scholarship and post season penalties it couldn't come at a better time. Our football team is on the eve of what could be the most successful and certainly most nationally televised season in Ohio University history. For fans of which this will be their first college football season (ages 5 - 15?) they will have a choice in the state of Ohio for who to root for, especially if A&M faces in-state or national television bans.
Like the way you think. The user name... not so much...
If there are TV bans, Schaus, Solich and the staff need to do EVERYTHING (within NCAA bylaws) they can to take advantage of the situation (the opportunity, not the poster). Solich better make it clear to the players that they are Ohio's best hope of making serious ingrounds in this state when it comes to American football. Squeaking by Gardner-Webb isn't going to cut it. Losing to directionals won't cut it either. Punching horses and other off-field transgressions will be exponentially detrimental. Solich has to have these players playing for a higher cause. You flyover country types love that type of stuff...
<sigh>
If only we could have a real offense, and not a gimmicky one. The eyes of Ohio (the state and the university) could be upon thee - I just hope they see football close to what they are used to and can accept it as passable entertainment. The piss poor MAC TV production values aren't going to help either.
