They can't prove it was an accidental consumption. He tested positive for a banned substance(or however you want to say it), he needs to take his punishment and shut the fuck up. He's lucky Urban didn't kick him off the team.

How is that a fact? That sounds barely more plausible of a story than the "someone somewhere hacked my Twitter" excuse.

If you get enough lawyers involved anything is possible. Ask the Heisman Trophy winner

You have it backwards, it was the B1G that wanted it a full year...
His father says the Big 10 originally suspended Spence for one year because they consider ecstasy a performance-enhancing drug. The NCAA considers ecstasy a street drug, which carries a lesser penalty.

I remember on twitter a couple beat writers saying some players were walking off after the int. Would love to know who.

How could ecstasy be a performance enhancing drug?

It fucks with your head though, can't imagine you could play effectively while on X.

X is a stimulant type of drug. It can help block out pain but damn I would love to see a player try and pop an x and then play.

My comment was a joke. That obviously wasn't funny.

I have to agree with this. If you want to take ecstasy and get away with it go to an SEC school.

Also if he was 3rd at 50% after 107 years of the forward pass being legal I would say that the program has a lot more to worry about than our 2 time silver football winner
I bitch about him because urbie is an offensive genius and he can make whoever a good enough. I don't feel that way about urbie or any coach defensively.

@HolyBuckeyeOSU2: I know for a FACT that Houston Texans Defensive Backs coach, Vance Joseph is interviewing for the Buckeyes Defensive Coord position!

Who knows...

Love the attitude...
“I played all right,” an encouraged Bell said after the Buckeyes’ 40-35 loss. “I could get better at some things. But I made plays that were there for me sometimes. I just have to get better, and I have more motivation this spring.”

Other than giving up the long TD, which wasn't entirely his fault, I thought Bell played great. It makes me think "what if" regarding him playing earlier in the season.

I'm looking forward to watching him in the future.

Yea, that long TD was 95% on Barnett. No way did they call a coverage that had bell one on one with Watkins. I thought Bell played really well for a Frosh.

Who knows...
25th ranked scoring D
23rd rushing yards/game
3rd ranked passing D

The first two make me want to pass, but the Passing defense has me intrigued, especially since they lost their best CB early in the season due to injury.

Agree on Bell.

Corey Brown(Not good enough to deserve a nickname) shouldn't have seen the field AT ALL this season. There is usually a reason when a 5th year SR has only seen the field in mop up duty or on Special team.

Not mad at all.
