He trolls every Ohio State and Cleveland sports thread. He just tries to act like he has a legitimate argument and it isn't really trolling, the same way jordo does.

Being smarter than you doesn't result in trolling. Nice try.

and honestly, how many times is LJ going to have to refute what you say before you realize you are only posting generalizations based on what you think, not actual facts?

How did I get roped into this? He's right though, just having a different opinion than you does not = "trolling"

Just like you were right about Gene Smith stepping down? Or the players being indicted for drugs? Doesn't your info come from your brother's friend's cousin's aunt's boyfriend who is a janitor at the bail bonds place next to the courthouse? Some of that may very well be, but maybe you should say "I think this is what MAY happen" rather than passing all this junk off as fact. You've been wrong enough that I laugh at your posts anymore. Maybe you should stick to wondering if you should rape the passed out girl?

You talk all this shit on here about me being wrong, because you don't agree, you are a fucking moderator on a free chat site that was started so people could post their opinion, whether you like it or not.

Gene Smith will resign, soon.

The fact is , Tressel was corrupt and was fired for his phony good guy bullshit. Pryor is and has always been a thug and will waste away just like Clarett. You believe what you want, but this is just getting started.

One more thing, My Aunt doesn't have a boyfriend, she is a Lesbian, but she looks like a guy. I claimed before that my information came from my cousin's girlfriend, who delivers Italian food from the local Chinese restaurant during lunch time between 11 am and 2 pm, after lunch she can be found selling flowers under the overpass between 2 pm and 6 pm on Monday's and Thursday's but never on Friday's before 7 pm, she has Zumba classes until 6:30 pm, but sometimes she decides to skip the Zumba class and just stay home and watch Jeopardy with her cat.

I can't be sure, but I think this is meant to be ironic...although with your complete disregard for grammar, and specifically punctuation, in most of your posts, it makes me think you might have been raised by a family closely resembling the squidbillies and thus may be serious about your Jerry Springer-esque family....either way, this is the greatest paragraph I've ever read on this site.

That does. No mention of Wexner.

I got my information directly from players on the team from the team meeting Monday morning. Wexner pulled his support which allowed the board to reccomend resignation. When that was reccomended by the board, Gee asked his committee what their reccomendation was and they agreed with the board. That's how it went down, straight from Tress's mouth. He didn't mention Wexner by name, but it's pretty easy to figure out when he said "the chairman"

You were wrong, plan and simple. Has nothing to do with agreeing or not. BTW, what does me moderating a forum on here have to do with you being wrong in the past?

Dude I provided a link that proves what I was saying. No where has Wexners name been brought up. Now all of a sudden you are saying Tressel told the players he resigned because Wexner pulled his support? You have to be kidding me.

And who are your "sources"? You can't be highly critical of a reporter for sources you are are not credible and then say a player told you what Tressel said.

Come on....

The Committee agreed with the Board's request and told Gee that's what should be done. Essentially the board started it and the Committee and Smith finished it. I dunno why the Chairman of the Board's name has to be specifically mentioned in an article. It's just the reason the board finally moved.

My sources are 2 players on the team, who were 2 of the 15 at the players meeting on Monday morning. I wouldn't think they would lie about what Tressel told them.

If you want to call it a joint decision, fine, but realize that no matter what you think happened, what really happened, or what is being reported as happening, the Board has the final say on letting him out of his contract or not. I still stand by what I was told by players that The Chairman (Wexner) pulled his support, the board reccomended resignation, Smith, Gee and the Committee agreed with it, and that's what happened

So you have "anonymous sources"? Got you.

Well the sources I have have said Smith hired an advisory committee. That committee said it would be best if Tressel resigned. When Tressel returned from Florida Smith met with him and delivered that message. Smith gave the resignation to Gee who asked for the Board of Trustees approval, which they granted.

How you can dispute that sequence is beyond me when that's exactly what is being told to us. Yet you want us to believe you and your sources that it was all Wexner?

Again, why are you friends with some college kids?

#1, they are not "anonymous" I just don't feel like posting their names. They are both Walk ons if that helps. #2, Gee hired a committee, not Smith

Dammit, once again, I NEVER once said it was all Wexner. Just because you cannot comprehend what I am saying doesn't make it so. Wexner was the only one keeping the Board from asking Tressel to resign. It was the Board AS A WHOLE that wanted him out. Once there was a consensus, that was it. It was NOT Wexner's decision, but the Board's AS A WHOLE. How many times do I have to explain that to you? Think you will understand it this time?
Again, why are you friends with some college kids?
Again? Where did you ask before? The one and his dad shoot at our gun club, we started Coyote hunting together and he brings another one of the players along.

It's backpeddling for me to say "I stand by what I was told, but you can call it whatever you want"? Interesting logic.

2 walk-ons were 2 of the 15 players on the team to get the real story?

I've provided links that detail the sequence of events. You are clinging to what two walk-ons are telling you and no one else.

You said Wexner was solely keeping Tressel his job and once he pulled support he was asked to resign. I haven't seen that anywhere.

Because most players were out of town for the holiday. There were only 15 players that went to the team meeting Monday morning. They were notified of the meeting Sunday night around 10pm

Nowhere does it say that it wasn't the case.

And you provided 1 link that said anything about the Committee making the decision. The other said they agreed with the decision. So one goes along with what I said, the other with what you said. Hmmmmm.....

Whatever you want to believe, the biggest fact here is that it wasn't Gee or Smith's decision, some board, somewhere, told them to do it.

So you want an article that states Wexner wasn't involved? No that's not how it works. You are the one that mentioned his influence yet no one else has mentioned him. And you said yourself his name wasn't mentioned. Quit trying to pass along your assumptions as factual.

And you provide proof that he was involved. I don't have to provide a link to disprove that because he's never been mentioned.

Coach Tressel is not a perfect man, nor a perfect coach
but I know JT's heart, and it has always been for the greater good of his players.
These are the things I still believe until I see something that proves otherwise.
