SI Article Shows 9 Players To Add To TatFive, Little Else

Not deep enough, obviously

The hype around the SI investigative report against and on Jim Tressel was built up to the point where it was getting monstrous, and (many people believed) is the reason for Tressel's resignation. That turned out to be very, very wrong. When the article came out last night at around 8 PM eastern time, people flocked to the site to see what all the fuss was about, and see how dirty the program really is.


What we all found was...well, nothing. The only big deal would be the fact that 9 other players were involved with the Tattoo guy, Rife. Those players were: defensive back C.J. Barnett, linebacker Dorian Bell, running back Jaamal Berry, running back Bo DeLande, defensive back Zach Domicone, linebacker Storm Klein, linebacker Etienne Sabino, defensive tackle John Simon and defensive end Nathan Williams.


It doesn't help Sports Illustrated's cause when more than half the article that was written, didn't even pertain to the fact of Tressel in his OSU era. Most of it was during his time at Youngstown State. Really? I mean, give me a break. The fact that they say they've "dug up" some pretty serious stuff is just looking plain stupid right now.
