I never did say that. However, the mob here notices only where I defend and not where I agreed. I have said multiple times that Tressel lied and covered up and needed to go. They only noticed the posts where I said the media went overboard. Which, to anyone that listens to facts rather than opinions, knows I am correct on. But hey, because 1 poster says over and over and over and over how dirty OSU is, but can never provide a single bit of proof, I am wrong and he is right. Some of us live in the world of facts and proof and some live in the world of believing what they hope is true. Pretty typical. CK has it nailed when he says they always end the same way. I can still say that I have never, ever started an OSU thread here yet when I respond to others, I am the bad guy. Laughable to be sure. Thanks, BuckZip. I didn't follow every post on this thread. I read the initial few after asking for your opinion. My apologies if it was given at some point and I missed it. Again, I am not going to perpetuate this insanity.

Misinformation about injuries will not be tolerated. It's for hacks. That was sarcastic.

While I could choose to respond to the above post, I am not going to perpetuate this any further. I am done.

Sounds like he's going to put the Alabama equivalent of ZNO out of business. What's the fun of a message board if it isn't all about speculation and rumors? By the way, I heard the next program to be added at UA is men's tennis in 2014, and we are to have indoor and outdoor co-ed tennis facilities on campus before then.

Good for him. I love to hear about our student-athletes graduating.

So in light of his responses on the topic, what is your opinion? You knew...EVERYONE knew how BuckZip would respond the the topic. "Zips fans are jealous...Ohio State didn't do anything wrong, etc, etc etc." But worst of all, everyone KNOWS the guy never lets it die. Hence the enless "I know you are but what am I?" Pee Wee Herman responses above. If you are taken aback by my mention of your posts, you have my apology. I meant nothing personal. But asking for BuckZip for perspective on an OSU/Akron issue? Why? Why would he respond any differently than any other similar thread over the past 15 years? It always turns out this way. My opinion is that BuckZip should just say tOSU is guilty as hell and so far the NCAA has gone light on them. Anything less than USC-level punishment is because of the power, prestige, and influence that they wield. All the other defenses of personal attacks from other board members should be let go and we should stop attacking his love for tOSU. Some things will never change, and that's one of them. Why would he respond differently? Because unlike every other debate that can't be settled on the field between the two schools, this situation is as cut and dry as it gets. There is no way Tressel/tOSU are in the right (or anywhere near it) on this one. If BuckZip can't admit that here and now, he never will and has zero credibility. Hence, it is not worth my effort to debate anything he says in the future. For all the OSU gear that is worn on campus and all the MAC Conference alumni who don't support our schools but cheer for OSU instead, it would be a small consolation to hear a hybrid alumni member at least be objective and say tOSU is wrong. And that's not a personal attack on BuckZip.

Believe it or not, I didn't intend to stir a shit storm. I truly wanted to know what BuckZip's perspective was on this. I was wondering whether BuckZip could be objective about tOSU in light of all the undeniable evidence of Tressel's problems or be the typical brain-washed apologetic OSU fan. If objective, he earned my respect. If not, I could tune out every past, current, and future comment he makes about tOSU, especially when the topic involves tOSU's relation to UA. BTW, thanks for calling me out as a trouble-maker, CK...your reference is quite over the top. If it was made in typical CK sarcasm, kudos. I didn't do anything to perpetuate the OSU hatefest beyond my original inquiry to hear BuckZip's perspective. The only topic I have been consistently negative about on ZipsNation is iCoach. I've said my peace on the subject, and am hoping (but not expecting) to eat crow. Go Zips!

I think Matt Dagilis will get playing time as a center back. We need his size in there. If not, we are highly vulnerable to being attacked in the air.

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page424.htm #1 - Louisville: Could be the potential for a great rivalry with Ken Lolla. Does he have the guts to schedule us or are we gonna have to rely on NCAA Tourney match-ups? #2 - UCLA: I'd love to see the Zips on the pitch with these guys. #3 - UNC: Should probably be at least one spot higher. #4 - Akron: A fair assessment in my opinion. Lots of talent, but unproven as a team.

What a great opportunity to learn about the program. What a great opportunity WASTED! "We're in helmets, we're going to wear shoulder pads, split squad, maximize..." Save it. B-O-R-I-N-G...Can somebody do there job and get this guy to tell the fans something that gets them excited about the season. Can we hire Emory? He knows how to fire up fans, you know why, because he is fired up. Rob needs to learn how KD excites the fan when someone puts the camera on him. I love listening to KD, I hate listening to Rob. At the minimum, he did say Go Zips?!? It's more of the blah blah blah coachspeak bullshit. If you are going to make the effort to make a statement, make a statement. Just babbling some useless non-information serves no purpose at all. Rob...I want to like you. I want to buy in, but you are making it hard. Throw me a bone, RI! Amen. Give us something, anything to look forward to this season and be positive about.

I am amazed by the talent we continue to accumulate. Is it soccer season yet?

Thankfully, soccer and basketball seasons overlap with football.

At least Marshall is a D-I opponent and we likely get a home-away with them. They are a familiar name with Akron fans from before they jumped from the MAC to C-USA. I like this addition.

Other than speculation about future ratings, rankings, and potential performace, what else are we going to discuss on here in August? We've already seen how much fun the political threads are. However, this can't be said enough and there is no debate to be made:

Good. That tunnel of pride ain't nothing compared to what the suckeyes are gonna confront went then take the field. We got our own Zips "Wall of Pride" i.e, our Granite Wall of Woopass, bka our Defense, that we are gonna showcase to the world in an away game, in a hostile stadium, as heavy underdogs, and shove the stunned suckeyes right BACK into their Hole of Pride, and then our Offense is gonna wreck havoc on the suckeye D, as a horrified Suckeye crowd moans a shower of tears. Zips 28 Suckeyes 18 GO ZIPS JT The Brick would hate this. All cheerleading and no substance. O Yee Of Little Faith I just like to stay grounded in reality. Perhaps you've been playing too much EA College Football?

I want Klinsman! Then Porter in 10 years and another 3+ national championships from now. If he does leave for the USMNT, I hope we only offer a replacement coach interim status and give the job back to Porter when he is done conquering the world.

http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page2926.htm"Akron put the wood to the Wolverines 7-1""advanced to the Final Four where their magical ride came to an end after a loss to Akron"I love how we checked the Wolverines into the Woodshed Hotel. I think OSU is jealous of us for such a beat down.

Let's get excited about this upcoming season! A great schedule and we are the DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.What are your predictions on how we'll be this season (men and woman)? I'll share mine next week. (I'm too busy dissertation writing now to provide a well-composed opinion.)

No. His testimony with the NCAA shows he lied because he was trying to cover up his players actions at an establishment owned by a man being investigated for Federal drug charges by the Federal government. The tat parlor dealer was later convicted. He lied in his reasoning for why he did it. He said he didn't know what to do. That's BS. As the former Athletic Director at YSU, he would have known exactly what to do. You pick up the phone and call the University legal department and have a sit down with a lawyer. Tressel covered it up because he would have lost a chance at having a successful season.There have been plenty of OSU players picked up for breaking the law, including DUI, while Tressel was the coach. One of the players mentioned in the SI article is Bo Delande. He was picked up for DUI. The kid is a walk on and Tressel didn't give him the boot. Booting a walk on is a good way to send a message to the remainder of the players on the team about DUIs. Tressel chose not to send that message.I completely disagree with this. Booting a walk on shows nothing. Booting an established player shows something. You know like 5* future AA Eugene Clifford, or 4* CB James Scott, or Erik Haw or Sirjo Welch, or Marcell Frost or Lousi Irizarry, or Duron Carter, or EJ Underwood or Brandon Underwood. Dorian a 5* lB was suspended for this season because of smoking weed. I could go on and on and on. But that would take away from the small little facts you have on your side. Selective facts are an interesting thing...Do you believe OSU is the only school that has DUI's?I thought OSU was a dry campus?! I could be wrong though.

Although not terribly far away, I see Zips gear all the time in Pittsburgh. Pretty amazing considering the saturation with Pitt, Penn St., the Steelers, Penguins, and now even the Pirates.

I have always maintained that I want to eat crow and see iCoach be successful...even to the extent of us being nationally ranked and winning the MACC every year. My posts are based on nothing more than my lack of confidence in iCoach. As always, prove me wrong.I'm all for eating crow. It would be fantastic if Patrick Nicely would take me to an all-you-can-eat crow buffet. But I am like you, Trimmy. Prove me wrong.Others will never eat crow, though. They will never give Ianello any credit even if he deserves it.I want an entire buffet of crow! The others who refuse to eat will be force fed if iCoach makes us successful.

Two points:1. We don't compete at the top level right now. We call ourselves D-1A, but we really aren't. My 20 inch penis agrees.2. They will just ask the taxpayers to pick up the tab...and they will. We are currently killing ourselves by other means.Lastly, I'll say it for the 1,000th time. It isn't being sent to another level. We won't go back to I-AA and will be at a higher level than YSU. It will be a level between bcs and I-AA. We need to live in the world of reality.This must be the real Great GP1! It holds up to the reputation much better than the guy I'm familiar with.

If we can't beat VMI, we'll lose 11 again.I am so thankful that we have EMU scheduled again. If we got WMU, CMU, and NIU, I would be worried about 0-12. Even I think we can win one game though. I think we go 3-9 giving the NEO sports fans enough encouragement and the "give iCoach a chance to build" crowd enough satisfaction to perpetuate mediocrity. Note: 3-9 is no better than JD's worst season.Against OSU, I have us losing 35-14 with a 17-7ish halftime score and most UA fans thinking, if only X fumble or Y pass/penalty had gone our way, we'd be in this or could/would win.What record this would make you change your mind about ICoach?? I think you are one of his biggest detractors and I am interested in what you think would be acceptable. Zach has already said he will NEVER give him a chance. I am not trying to defend him...the jury is still out for me. I have yet to decide and withhold any critisism until after this year. But I am curious what it would take (record wise) to turn around some of the biggest detractors.Given how weak the MAC and our schedule are, I need to see 5-7 this year, 7-5 the next, and 10-4 the year after with a MACC. I want to be proven wrong by iCoach, but I am not expecting a lot.I think I have said it before, but only a male lion comes into a new pride and kills the cubs. There was no excuse to have so many defectors because of iCoach's my way or the highway approach. That is terrible leadership! Losing to a mediocre I-AA program at home and only winning one game the entire season were both huge steps backwards too. We are/were the laughing stock of I-A football. A duplicate performance this season and I am calling for his head.He is branded as a recruiter, and I wasn't overly impressed with his recruiting class or the realistic future prospects. If that is the guy's strength, what do I have to be optimistic about?Do I think it was time for JD to go? Yes, but at least JD took the program to a place it hadn't been before. With our facilities, anything less than that from iCoach is unacceptable.And GP1, as much as I hate to say it, I don't see us beating Can't this year. Again, I would love to be proven wrong, but I'm sticking to my 3-9 prediction: VMI, EMU, and Buffalo.
