Big Zip Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 Sad...very sad. If he would have spent his time studying instead of stuff like this he probably could have been a decent student with a chance to play football later in life. I'm guessing the time he should have been in the weight room and library was spent up to no good. Hate to see things like this, but glad he didn't end up here and put a stain like this on the program. Quote
Zipmeister Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 This should pretty much lock up a scholarship offer from K.e.n.t State. Quote
GP1 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 In ancient times, people who did things like this would do the right thing and kill themselves in a last ditch effort to save their honor. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 The minute he/they laid their hands on a woman with violence, any and all chances at honor were gone. Quote
Dave in Green Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 What a waste. The only positive in his life was football. Who knows how far he could have gone if he had gotten away from his old hood and off to a school somewhere with the right conditions to encourage his growth, though Fork Union didn't work out. Even under the best of conditions, he still might not have made it. Some kids just get dug into a deep hole from an early age that no one can ever help them climb out of. Quote
Hilltopper Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 I took a lot of abuse in the original Howard thread, but I will say now is: You can take the boy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the boy. A very sad story from the beginning. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 How pathetic. I'm so glad he was never a Zip. Besides, he couldn't hold Chisholm's jock strap. Garfield RB Tyson Gulley relegated Howard to picking splinters out of his butt during the Ohio North-South All-Star Game. Quote
Doug Snyder Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 What a waste. The only positive in his life was football.

We are talking about North Canton. Are there any bad "hoods" in North Canton?? I guess I could feel some sympathy for someone who may be forced to steal to feed their family. But the sexual assault goes beyond where I can muster up any sympathy. I hope it was a case of mistakedn identity....otherwise I say "lock him up". Quote

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he was living with a coach from North Canton but had grown up in a much rougher area. Anyone else remember reading that? It's a shame for any human being to be a wasted life like that. I guess I can never comprehend the, "You have something that I want so I'll take it from you by force" mentality. Work hard. Get the things you want. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 I remember Tressel telling the kid to renege on his Zips commitment and attend a prep school so he could play for Ohio State. Didn't work out. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Lazy and stupid is a tough combination to overcome. That's right. If you're smart, you can get away with lazy. If you're a hard worker, you can get away with stupid. But if you're both stupid and lazy? Your only hope is hitting the lottery. Quote
UADavid Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Lazy and stupid is a tough combination to overcome. Hey Dorfman, I thought it was fat and stupid? Quote
skip-zip Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 I remember Tressel telling the kid to renege on his Zips commitment and attend a prep school so he could play for Ohio State. Didn't work out. That's exactly what I was thinking about when I read the story. At least he would have had a chance to build relationships with a school, and maybe create a good foundation in his life if he had stayed with his original commitment. But, does it really surprise anyone that Tressel was likely thinking about himself? Quote
Lee Adams Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 If I'm recalling didn't he have a previous ALLEGATION of sexual misconduct of some sort down in Stark? He was never convicted,but a guy I used to work with who is very involved in sports in Stark Co. knew about this guy when he was in high school. Apparently he was a 'bad actor' back then. He was getting bailed it because of his athletic abilities,ALLEGEDLY. I don't know if he was originally from the North Canton area. Wasn't he living with someone else in that district? Guess that prep school thing didn't work ou too well. Akron was very fortunate at what did not happen. Don't need that type of problem on top of what else is going on. Quote
Dr Z Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 In times like these, he needs to turn to JT. Quote
Zipmeister Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Yes, a session with Justin Timberlake will usually do the trick. Quote
GP1 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 The minute he/they laid their hands on a woman with violence, any and all chances at honor were gone. I agree. I just want him to kill himself I guess. Quote

GP1 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 I think you need to see JT Isn't he the guy hanging on the cross every week when I go to church.....what?...........That isn't him?..........................Oh, I see, he just thinks it's him..........Never mind. Quote

I think the line from Animal house was fat, dumb, and stupid. Can't Dorfman - Hey, are you guys playing cards? That movie was a classic! Quote
Kangaroo Craig Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Tried to type K. e. n. t. Dorfman, but got the Can't override. Quote
