goddamnit, that smell JUST came out...

They are, the wait for them isn't.

why do you hate the Constitution/America?

fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu I just canceled HD Theater (and about to cancel dish network entirely). Anyone having an impromptu TT party? I have lots o' booze...

Looks like it's time to update the .sig picture. Also, take those ugly front rotors off, you can't see your ballin' wheel with them. All the cool kids are doing it.

forget it, he's rolling.

send it out in hillbilly style.

That's about the dumbest thing I've heard today. Death penalty, huh? For what other crimes should we begin wholesale executions of criminals for, eh? Steal someone's identity, you pay restitution to them for the rest of your life Wage garnishment, the whole bit. Make the punishment like the crime, economic.

ballin' bus service is $350, so that's probably out. Unless someone wants to step up as a DD, it doesn't look like boozin' at the house is going to pan out.

Once I start up hockey next session I'm getting Oglethorpe put on the back of my jersey.

Can I challenge Jared Boll at all aspects of life?

I'm putting together a pre-game party at my place, say 6:30/7 PM, booze it up then head out to Flannagan's. Any interest? I'm thinking about getting a van to take all our drunk asses to the show, but I need to know how many people would be interested.

Nothing good ever came from Boston. Bring it home to Canada.

In loco parentis? Surrogate parenting? Seriously, that's your argument? I seriously want to buy you a beer for making me laugh so hard. Here's the final, simple reason why JT got canned: He lied to the NCAA about student violations that he had knowledge of. He then proceeded to double-down on this by lying to the public about the same thing. Lying to the NCAA is a breach of his contract (he could be canned for that alone, but that alone, I agree, would have been excessive), but that PLUS lying to the public and tarnishing the OSU brand means he had to go. That's it, and that's all. If you really, really want to cling to an analogy because contract law is so hard to get your head around, Inya pretty much nailed it above.

Chipotle forgives all.

Also, brace yourselves, this is going to be a fucking madhouse tonight. flygirl, you may want to consider leaving the car at CC, you may not be able to park anywhere near there tonight.

I'll either be at the CC at 7, or ride up with the BMC. I'm trying to figure out who the cooler kid is.

yeah dude, it's like the air, man, the air has a straighter line to go through which helps airodynamics or something like that. It's, like, only a problem with the left side though, yeah, there's some secret memo that one of the designers put out that said it.

I swear to god, there are so many strawmen being thrown around in this thread it's insane. No robhawk, that analogy isn't close enough. College football (and this can be argued for most/all high profile sports, pro or amateur) is about REPUTATION. It's not about what some dude does on his motorcycle, it's not about Inya, it's not even about YOU. It's about how the actions of one guy affected the reputation, and more importantly, the BRAND of Ohio State. Lying in public to blatant rules violations of the NCAA puts a black mark on the brand. Still can't figure it out and need an analogy that actually fits? Fine. If you stood outside the company you work for and told any of its customers complete fabrications about the type/quality/price of stuff they were buying, then those customers start complaining that the company is lying about their products, once the company finds out it's you they are going to shitcan your ass. It's really not a hard thing to figure out.

This analogy you seem to keep using, it does not mean what you think it means. Player-coach relationships and interactions are subject to the rules of the NCAA. You know this walking in, you agree to be bound by them as a condition of your scholarship/inclusion in that activity. I'm sorry if that last part didn't sink in: YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM AS A CONDITION OF YOU PLAYING THAT SPORT. Sure kids will be kids, and attempt to test the limits of those rules. Simple human nature. Actions also have consequences. Also, Tressel was shitcanned because he LIED, and said lie was substantiated with evidence. Period. No grand conspiracy, no epic witch hunt from the NCAA.

I honestly have never viewed the missing person part from that angle. Sure you can go to the cops, but as she is an adult and capable of making her own decisions, if you want her, you find her. Makes a lot of sense.

I don't know too many rare bill collectors around OR, you may be better served selling the bills through traditional numismatic channels. Good luck with the sale/trade.
