re: Urban & tOhio State Report UF to NCAA for Recruiting Violations (OP Updated)

Can't hate a coach that hasn't delivered a loss yet

I was up in Ohio last week. I saw so many Ohio State fans wearing "Urban Renewal," t-shirts. The OSU fans were talking a lot of shite about how they are going to win the National Championship this year

Pretty much all the ones I know, which is a lot of them Are already counting the ones they are going to win and the one they should have won(2012)

Feel the same way with Oregon fans.

That fanbase is insufferable. They were worse than Texas and Auburn all rolled up in one.

---

Now, I'm not sure I'd go quite THAT far.

But they're in my top 4 worst fanbases, along with Notre Dame, Texas, West Virginia and USC west.

I told them, "well with that cupcake of a schedule you should at least make it to the NC." I love it how now that Urban is out of the SEC he is badmouthing our conference. It didn't seem so bad when he was in this conference?

I've been on Hineygate a lot & 1 thing is for sure. The OSU fans have given up the holier than thou pretense & attitude that permeates the B1G & have decided to get down in the "mud" with the SEC... It makes for some great & funny reading if you get a chance to read it...

I have a couple of transplant tOSU fans in my life right now for some reason and they just seem to get pissed off when we talk football. I told them that the NCAA wasn't going to hammer Oregon and that the Dontre Wilson flip wasn't that big of a deal and they just seemed to roll their eyes like I don't know what the frick I am talking about. So, maybe you just had to be in Ohio for the hollier than though attitude to wear off.

Bisonduck...the NCAA infractions thing is definitely a sore subject here. I think tOSU and USCw deserved everything they got and nobody's debating that but there was no consistency with Oregon. Chip Kelly knowingly violated the rules in a big way but was given a slap on the wrist and only 18 months show cause. 3 yrs probation, 1 scholly per yr and no bowl ban is a joke. It is what it is and we move on but it defies logic IMO.

I hear ya. We were on the flip side of that. All indications pointed to no bowl ban but it happened. I'm not an attorney but from the outside looking in it sure appeared that Oregon's infractions were as serious if not worse than tOSU's. But then again we don't have Phil Knight to keep happy. It just doesn't add up.

When it comes to football there are only 2 in my book

#1 Ohio State
#2 Southern Cal

Not only are they arrogant but they act like the Rose Bowl is the best game even tho they stopped letting the SEC play there after WW II because the SEC kept winning. Now that the BCS is going it shows just what a sham the Rose Bowl was all those years. Couple that with major cheating while accusing everybody else of cheating just put them over the top.

Texas may have been a bully and a cheater but at least they were open and up front about it. When I think of the Irish you get visions of Beano Cook and Regis who are just as lost as a player with an invisible girlfriend. I just think they are sad.

Fair enough, but to say Chip Kelly was naive is naive of you to say. He knew perfectly well what he was doing and is the reason why he bolted for the NFL. 18 month show cause is a joke considering that he has no intentions of returning to college before then.

---

That's not what I said. I didn't say he was naïve I said he was more naïve than willful. Every school used Lyles the same way and Chip got caught swimming in the deep end when he should've been in the shallow end after being an FCS coordinator just two years prior.
