^^This

He's the president of a prestigious institution, he's been able to raise tons of $$ for OSU over the years. Why does he feel the need to crack ignorant jokes just to get a laugh?

An open letter to Gordon Gee

I can't say that it really offends me at all. Maybe I'm just not insecure about my education.




Kind of pompous don't you think ???
So everyone else that did not like this idiot's comments (whether 'lighthearted' or not) is "insecure about their education" and you're the only one who isn't ????????
Talk about stereotypical assumptions.

I think it's BECAUSE we are proud and secure about our SEC educations that ignorant, misinformed, sterotypical comments from people "up there", no matter how fricking 'lighthearted' you or others deem it to be - are insulting.

Some of the 'geniuses' up there really do believe them.

Jesus, some of you have your panties in a bunch. It was a joke to counter a joke from SEC people.

He raises as much money for Ohio State as any university president does for their university in the country. I can live with his silly little comments.

The comments about the SEC are no different than what fans say about the SEC all the time, no different than what we say about the Big Ten (14). That doesn't bother me, (but a university pres shouldn't say it).

Even the stuff about Notre Dame, I can even look past that.

The statement about Catholics in general, you cannot go there. That was way over the line.

I'm Catholic. It didn't bother me and I don't have particularly thick skin. I took his comment about "those damn Catholics" to be those that run Notre Dame University and not Catholics in general.

Since it's obvious that my self-depricating humor is not coming through, I will go ahead and post a picture of A&M's president.

so you condone his imbagence and his comments on the catholic faith too? It is one thing to be an assistant coach to pump up the home crowd but for a prez of a major U in the USA to do it shows that he has little character and does not know when to talk and when to shut up. Dontha think DA

Fair enough, I get that. But all of us are guilty of being stereotypical at times. No reason to let this asshat's stereotyping bother us. We know who/what we are and won't let some dbag tell us otherwise


I never sterotype.

BTW, why are all you Mizzou yankees so quick to defend this E. Gordon Gee prick? Is it that you feel that you owe him something for saying they made a mistake not taking Missouri into their fold. Sheeesh, it's always greener on the other side for you mizzouites - what a bunch of women.

No I don't feel that I owe him anything; in fact, I should be pissed at him. I wanted Mizzou to join the Big 10.

Whether you love us or hate us, I'm proud to be in the SEC, so just don't include me as one of the ones who wanted to be in the big 10,11,12,...or whatever they want to call themselves these days. I love sundresses, gumbo, Louisiana women(was married to a women born and raised in Natchitoches)and Southern Culture. Was married in Nachitoches at a little white church at the end of 6th street on the right.( LSU fans that are familiar with the location check it out for proof).Was going to get married on the Cane river just like in Steel Magnolias but it rained on the day of my wedding, so we had to move it and get the deposit back. People are a lot more friendly and You guys and gals are passionate about football. Fair enough I hope. Maybe one day say 50 yrs from now you guys will accept the fact that Mizzou's here to stay...til then SEC, SEC

Here is a quote from someone who attend that great academic university The Ohio State University. I can see where the B1G schools get that academic reputation they are known for.

I think your booster - trustees - and conference commissioner are having a hard time living with it though.
