I was very tempted to say this myself. But Red13JoePa is a cool dude, and I don't want to offend him. And, even though PSU is a rival of OSU, I've never hated PSU or their fans. So, I didn't bring this up on my own.
But I was thinking about how so many people outside of the state of Ohio bashed Tressel and OSU over virtually nothing. Since the OSU scandal, there's been the Miami Hurricanes scandal where the school was possibly providing their players with drugs and hookers. And now this with PSU.
I think this really puts into perspective what a small infraction the whole tattoo thing was at
OSU. And also backs up the fact that there was an absolute witch-hunt against Jim Tressel.
Tressel hid the fact that some of his players traded their souvenir pants for some tattoos. Let's send him to the gas-chamber.
If every coach was kicked out for every little infraction, no coach would ever last.
