It seems unlikely that they'll show you on the broadcast from your living room.

I'm not angry at all. Without the tat incident and JT's dismissal we wouldn't be on the path we are right now. It was a bittersweet situation, but right now I'm cool with results so far.

The only thing that actually gets me "angry" is seeing that putz Gene Smith continue to represent tOSU.

GoPens;1323505 wrote:This. If he would have offered a bowl ban last year when everyone knew the team would be down, then OSU probably would not have been given a post season ban this year and look where we'd be.

The fact that Smith is still there is criminal.

Half Fullers will always say we would not be undeafeated this year if Lyin Jimmy were still around and we would not have Urbie for future successes. That maybe true but we will never really know we will we? Anybody who cheers for this hypocritical moron on Saturday in the Shoe should get cold cocked by true Buckeye fans sitting next to them.

Is this the most bitter-sweet season ever for OSU? Having a shot at 12-0 and would be in championship game discussion and it's all for pride now instead of the crystal ball. What could have been.

Whispering "boo..." to yourself is what I'm picturing you doing.

2. The best way to have handled the bowl ban would have been to self-imposed it last year...then the guys remaining on the team (Herron, posey, Adams, etc) would have suffered for their crimes rather than this years players who had nothing to do with it.

I would not boo him, but I would not cheer him either as his actions and decisions brought great discredit to Ohio State. He deserves the punishment that he has received.
