I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

From Yahoo! Sports...
Tressel knew of gear scheme last April
By Charles Robinson and Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports Mar 7, 7:14 pm EST
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was informed that several Buckeyes players were selling memorabilia more than eight months before the school claims it was made aware of the scheme, a two-month Yahoo! Sports investigation has found.
Tressel received information that players were selling items to Edward Rife – the owner of Fine Line Ink Tattoos in Columbus – as early as April 2010, according to a source. However, neither Ohio State nor the NCAA investigated the transactions or the players’ relationship with Rife until December 2010, when the school claims it was informed of the situation by the local United States Attorney’s office.
Ohio State director of compliance Doug Archie declined immediate comment when reached Monday by Yahoo! Sports. Tressel and athletic director Gene Smith were unavailable for comment. The NCAA declined comment.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

If this is true, Tressel should be relieved of his duties and given a show-cause penalty. It's not so much that what the players did merits a stiff punishment, but if Tressel knew, then he blatantly lied and covered up for his players so that they could have a shot at a national championship that they wouldn't have had had the players served those 5-game penalties they got this year.CGN | a bunch of incoherent nonsense

Tomorrow should be even more fun for him.
2 game suspension for Tressel as a self-penalty. They basically admitted that everything in the article was true, but brought up some BS excuse about confidentiality.
If Tressel lied to the NCAA in December about when he knew about the infractions, this won't turn out well for tOSU.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Put another trophy in Auburn's case. The 2011 Fulmer Cup is over, ladies and gentlemen. For perspective, that one incident was worth 77 points. Until yesterday, Florida topped the all-time leaderboard with a grand total of 52 points. The four players have already been permanently dismissed from the team, and Auburn's been relatively crime-free (9 all-time Fulmer Cup points before this), so I can take some perverse satiisfaction in blowing up the competition so thoroughly.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Don't be too overconfidant; you don't know if the Columbus meltdown will continue.

Were these players pine-riders? That has to be the stupidest fvcking crime to commit.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Three were true freshman, one or two of whom played on special teams. The fourth was a rising senior and starting safety. Stupid doesn't begin to cover it.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Just for the record, I continue to enjoy the ever-loving **** out of the continued Tressel revelations. Now he forwards the information on to Pryor's "advisor", but not the AD or compliance officer?
On the other hand, I dread seeing how the NCAA ****s this one up."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine
