Re: Paging Brian FD...
Sorry, KaGee, but it's been a little busy down here, cleaning up after the ice storm.<br />I watched the Alamo Bowl Wednesday night. I was very disturbed about ESPN's negative comments. While it's true that Ohio State is in the midst of a public relations problem, I think the university's handling of Troy Smith's violation of NCAA rules has been exemplary. Mostly, I believe that ESPN is disappointed that their reporting of the Clarett case was so easily dismissed for lack of merit by the NCAA and the Ohio State University. I feel they're holding a vendetta against OSU and will 'sensationalize' any negativity towards the university. It's not front-page news here in OSU's hometown, and rightfully so. Now the fact that they easily dismantled OK State's offense and defense IS newsworthy, and that played well on the headlines.<br />As far as ESPN calling for the dismissal of Coach Tressel and Andy Geiger, well, I don't think that will happen. And ESPN will cry 'sour grapes' until something happens to someone somewhere else where they can focus their negativity.<br />Just my $0.02.
