I would think with his jorts and a tee, he'd be good to go. :)

Probably due to cultural contamination when some snow birds were in Florida, wintering. :)

The NCAA has everything that ESPN wants, why don't they demand the NCAA turn over the information and IF NOT then sue the NCAA???

That would not be as much fun or damaging.

I hope that's a rhetorical question, because there are several obvious reasons why.

You don't think the MSU, Wisconsin or PSU games couldn't potentially be of interest if deciding the Leaders (ugh, still hate that) Division title? It would also give them a chance to talk all day long about OSU's troubles, and we know ESPiN loves to do that.

I would love to see it, and I don't think the problem would be with ESPN...I'm just not sure the powers-that-be at THE OSU want the exposure (negative) that may accompany it--jmo

Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd ban Gameday from OSU for the foreseeable future.

That probably wouldn't work, though, since they'd just go on air and whine and blast OSU for being petty.

So, I don't see OSU stopping them from coming at any point they want to do so. The Big 10 still has a contract with ESPiN, so there will be no escaping coverage from them that will include idiot play by play and analysts saying idiot things about this whole issue. Hopefully, when that contract comes up again, Fox or someone else will win it so we can just dump ESPN altogether.

Mister full of himself ugly mouthed "Moder-tator" proves to be unknowledgeable again.

Ohio State calls the NCAA and tells them to come to Ohio State as soon as they find out that Tressel lies.
Ohio State self-reports, works hand and hand with the NCAA, gives the NCAA everything and anything the NCAA asks for and more,
The NCAA has all of and the same information Ohio State has.
Why doesn't ESPN demand this information from the NCAA and sue them when they refuse?

You're ignorant aren't you?

Because the NCAA isn't bound by the same freedom of information laws as OSU? Just taking a wild guess.

And it's not the NCAA's info to give out.

Technically, IF the NCAA fell under freedom of information laws, it wouldn't matter if they generated the information or not. If you're an entity that has information and is subject to those laws, you have to turn it over, whether you generated it or not.

Fact is: the NCAA is a private organization which does NOT fall under those laws, so suing them would be a waste of time and money. Reporters go for the path of least resistance, always. Most are lazy. If all it takes to get what you want is a simple written request, that's what you do, and let the pressure of the law work for you. In this case, Ohio's open records laws.

yea that should do the trick just dump espn , that should bring espn to verge of ruin. and maybe the next time the big ten signs a tv deal they can have contract language that prohibits any disparaging comments about osu so as not to upset there overly sensitive fan base

Nice to see you're back in stalker mode. I was beginning to think maybe you'd had a bout of mental health. Obviously, I was wrong.

I love when you ASS-ume so much from my postings. It further clarifies my opinion of your mental acuity (or lack thereof).

Ding Ding Ding...the word acuity has just been used on the OC (...and correctly at that!) all of our IQs just went up a point!
