Proud to be a Buckeye - when Woody was here

A comment ot two on the OSU football situation, and then no more. I think Dr. Gee said it best, "He may fire me," meaning that coach Tressel might fire him. After all, Tressel gets paid more than the school President. Tressel was fined a months salary, which must really hurt, with his book money and all, books on ethics, integrity, clean living, etc., shows a real sense of humor when you can write about something and live your life another way.
    I think every program that Tressel has been involved in has experienced some ethical and questionable practices, but he will endure the humiliation of giving a public apology and the other sanctions, as long as it does not affect his 3.5 million a year.
     What a fine example to set for all those athletes at OSU. Coach can lie and get away with it, coach can be humiliated and not be bothered, coach seems like a spineless wimp, I sure want to play for him.
    The NCAA could do more, but they won't, the school could do more, but they won't. Here is a man who wrote these books, The Winners Manual: For the Game of Life, What It Means to Be a Buckeye  and Life Promises for Success: Promises from God on Achieving Your Best , lied about something, is guilty of breach of contract to the University (a specific clause was written into his contract which stated he would notify the university IMMEDIATELY in such a situation), and it costs him a months salary and not be able to coach in two games that could be coached by the cheer leading squad with the same success.
    Good lessons for children. I used to be proud to be a Buckeye, the state emblem is a Buckeye, which is a worthless NUT, now we have three of them, that I know of, there may be more.
