From the Rivals board
Lol you don't actually believe that, do you?

Considering the fact that trueblue QQ'd a while ago when he was made fun for being a bandwagoner and quit the board, I bet he does.

I just don't post that much anymore, don't know why that's a big deal.. and I don't know what QQ means. I guess I could be considered a bandwagon Pacer fan, but that is kind of weak considering I didn't give a crap about them before I moved to Indianapolis. I love basketball and they provide me the opp to go to 20 games a year, they just happen to be pretty good this season.



S&L no way haha. If I had to guess, I would say there was some sort of disagreement that led to Vrabel leaving. Like you guys said earlier, no way something like this could be kept under wraps for 2 months. Something would get out, even if it wasn't the full story. I posted the thing from Rivals because there's a guy who is a big OSU fan and he's always atleast somewhat in the know on things, but he didn't mention where he got that story. Oh well.. if Vrabel couldn't handle one of his buddies being criticized, how in the world will he handle the NFL?

Vrabel left because he hates recruiting. He hates being away from his family in the offseason, as well as hating the rules around limited contacts and so on. Period.

Only thing that doesn't make sense is, I very very seriously doubt Fickell would have stuck around if that had happened. Or meyer would have made sure he got a job somewhere.
It was a poster on the Rivals board. 11w never reported it. It showed up in their forums asking about the Rivals post

So in other words, assuming there still are people there, JJ's now has their new hot-button topic where anyone who mentions it will be banned.

I had never even seen this on bucknuts. Even last night there was nothing on this. And neither of them said it on their twitter. I'd say that's false. Rivals is always trying to say shit about bucknuts because rivals is awful and doesn't have even close to as many users.

I'd say that since it's an argument over a potential fight between the dude who is currently the head coach and an assistant/recruiting guy who no longer is there between two apparent rivals in the YOU NEED CFB NEWS 24/7/365 field, to just file it in the "dickless bitches making up shit because it's February and everyone's paying attention to other sports" category.

I guess it was in the boarding house on bucknuts. Which I don't read, so guess that's how I missed it. My opinion on this would be, why report it(regardless), unless one of these said coaches said it. It's way too risky.

More than likely, Cardale Jones... with perhaps JT Barrett pushing Jones.

Dude just stop. No one who is coming on this thread cares about your bandwagon nonsense. Save that for the pro sports forum.

Cardale Jones reminds me a lot of a poor man's Terrelle Pryor - very talented in terms of long legs, long stride, tough to bring down, very strong runner, but just severely lacking in the passing category. Jones isn't as good of a runner as Pryor is, but I think he might have a stronger arm. (Arm accuracy is a serious unknown.)

I don't think Jones would've played this year if Barrett wasn't redshirting. Tom Herman has talked highly of Barrett since he got on campus.

I'm still a Laker fan, despise UNC, and have no idea why I'm actually defending myself against you.. who cares.


Anyone else surprised ESPN hasn't ran wild with this? Because it's OSU and well, it's ESPN

Not at all. As much as we all hate them, they won't run a story like this unless one of their people can substantiate the claim.

Now that could as little as one of their "insiders" citing un named sources, but with being little more the Forum chatter on a Minor League website, they won't run it.
