SI cover story about Tressel

[Bamaphile]

"Cochran, who is now retired, still shakes his head over Tressel's contradictions. There was the Christian who lifted kids out of troubled neighborhoods and built a football "family," Cochran says, and there was the coach who claimed to have been kept in the dark after he had assiduously avoided the light. "What bothered me was that the family knows," Cochran says. 'Inside the family everyone knows what's going on.'"

Hmmm.... Let me see.  Where else have I heard so much talk about "the family"?   

As in "All in" the fambly? 

Yep!  Let's hope for the same kind of dysfunction in the "other family" soon!  What is it with this "family" atmosphere that seems to breed corruption?

Incest?

Wow - this article, if the allegations pan out, will be a major body blow to tOSU. I don't care of Tressel "resigned" or not, this will not end well for the scarlet and gray.

They are making the boogers look like choir boys.

Hard to believe, isn't it? This "family" has all the hallmarks of the Gotti & Gambino families. Wow!

Yep, we'll see how the "other" family does as the trial of the accused gambling lords is scheduled to begin in June.

Exactly. You hear folks all the time, mostly barners, saying that the DOJ or FBI couldn't care less about football and NCAA violations. They may not care but this quote from the article shows they take the time to report it if they find it while investigating crimes:

"Tressel's most recent troubles began in December, when the Department of Justice, passing along information it had gathered in a raid while investigating the owner of a Columbus tattoo parlor for drug trafficking, informed Ohio State that at least six current players, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor, had traded team memorabilia for tattoos or cash at the parlor."

LOL. Wallowing in the misery of others is a bunch of fun. We oughta take up a collection ($7.35) for them to see if we can get viral.

[XBAMA]

7.35 should be more than good ...   

and they need our help ... in their "down" time
we should do it !

plus there are actually companies that make sure the viral happens
and once those companies find out we are doing a "good deed" they
may just donate the service ...

$ for the coaching search? It has to be a real (perceived) need. $ for pony rides to help cheer them up?
