Using Your Head

I'm not leaving. This is my serious face.

Yesterday on Christmas day, a "story" broke loose that was full of rumors and about no facts. Of course, like any rumor concerning Ohio State lately it got fans all riled up.

According to a man in a Blackhawks jersey, and his "sources", Jim Tressel will no longer be the head coach of Ohio State.

"Ohio State was rocked by the suspensions of five key players, including top running back Dan "Boom" Herron and Heisman-hopeful quarterback Terrelle Pryor, for the first five games of the 2011 season earlier this week.

The sources indicated that Buckeye recruits have been informed that Tressel will not be back as coach, and have been allowed to look for other options. 

Ohio State has one of the largest compliance departments in the country, yet they have reported 375 violations to the NCAA from 2000-2009, the most in the country.

Early in Tressel's tenure at OSU he had to deal with the Maurice Clarrett debacle, and Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith was suspended for two games for accepting money from a booster. The latest violations are just another dark page in the recent history of the Buckeye program."
