Re: NCAA tells Ohio State it finds no new violations; won't face 'failure to monitor'
You two are trying to re-write history. For a good laugh, read this thread - http://realcavsfans.com/showthread.php?36234-Tressel-knew-of-gear-scheme-last-April
Yes, there were two groups.
1) The realists that understood back in March the seriousness of the situation. We predicted early on that Tressel would never coach again...for that we were attacked and laughed at.
2) The group that was in denial for months. They claimed Yahoo Sports was full of shit b/c it used an unnamed source. Then they claimed Tressel shouldn't believe the "sleazy lawyer". B00bie repeats 100 times that "Tressel never lied". Then Tress was just protecting a federal investigation. One constant theme was attacking the messenger, while ignoring the message and the facts that were undeniable.
Seriously, read that thread, it's a riot. Make fun of Doug all you want, but he was right on target with his assessment most of the way, while posters like b00bie and cmstuffy were wrong about 90% of the time...heads in the sand.
I think there were 2 camps most Buckeye fans fell into:
1.) The people who bought the spin that espin, SI, etc, were selling and were generally worried about major sanctions
2.) The people who knew that espn, SI, etc, were full of shit from the start.
The former are feeling pure relief. The latter are feeling pure schadenfreude. Both are great feelings.

2.) The people who knew that espn, SI, etc, were full of shit from the start. b00bie, me, everyone who thought about it rationally
