Shit, no wonder Corch bailed out at Gainesville.
And this is just precious:
Fortunately for many players, Gainesville lawyer Huntley Johnson helped them successfully navigate the legal system. They knew to go to Johnson. One player remembers walking into Johnson’s office for counsel and seeing a teammate who was already there.

Me too. I specifically asked them if they wanted to throw out their championship now that they hate Meyer so much. They try to figure out a way to hate what Meyer did to them but hold on to what Meyer achieved for them. Its funny seeing how they trip all over themselves trying to reason that Meyer wasn’t the real architect of the Championship. They’ll take the glory and want to flush the consequences.

The difference is the rest of that conference isn’t good enough to really embarrass him if he has to take his medicine. He knew after 2010 that he had a lot more of those payback games coming and wasn’t going to sit through them. He, Tim, and that whole era look less and less better every day.

Good question. The obvious tension is that while Irving Myers wins big, he’s also known to be a wee bit corrosive. Even though the winning masks lots of defilement, he’ll likely be fine until the cycle of destruction begins anew. Then he’ll fall over and start biting the carpet, take a leave of absence, and wait on his next gig. Might it be:
The NFL?
USC (east or west)?
Private business (Chairman of say, Apple)?

There has to be an obvious (and probably growing) tension among THE OSU suits that while Irving Myers has proven he can deliver victories, he also has proven to be corrosive.

If really got a kick out of the part of the linked article where during a practice Sikes laid the Wood to Tebow (who was supposed to be untouchable) because he got sick of goody-too-shoes Tebow being treated differently than everybody else on the team. I have felt for years that Tebow was secretly hated by the other FU players. Tebow is such a dolt that he probably doesn’t even understand that. I remain amazed that some lineman (either O or D) didn’t beat the crap out of Tebow, particularly since they were all a bunch of thugs and he was such a pussy.

Humorous read – and funny also. Propose we name a working breed “Jenkins” for his personification of “Let the big Dawg eat”.
Kennel Club description: The Jenkins Dawg is trained to attack relentlessly and to consume as many QBs as is possible in an hour. Goes undetected between hedges until he appears somewhere in the opposing back forty where his warm breath on QB necks spells doom. Best to stand your ground and protect yourself; won’t stop you from being “Dawg Food”, but it’s better than being taken down from behind with a facemask in between your shoulder blades and arms that flail at your possession of the ball he wants to play with.
Affable to people with cameras, but with a mercuric temperament toward those who want to keep the ball from him. Not to be provoked by silly zebras who take his friend and companion from his side. He is Zo ferocious as to have the opponent’s O-line part to appease him and sacrifice one of their group instead of losing their entire group of squatters in his territory. This is one fucking mean Dawg.
