Actually, I was dead, buried and resting comfortably. On my tombstomb were the words "I'll be back when OSU is ever caught cheating again". Suddenly Woody Hayes's voice screamed out
"get out there again maggot" and here I am. WTF??
They ought to move the NCAA office to Columbus. They'd save a ton on transportation costs.

lol- just a few recent misunderstandings, Auspice. Luckily enough, Ohio State has an admin that doesn't tolerate any funny business. At the first hint of trouble, they take decisive action! I feel bad for O'Brien, but OSU won't stand for it.
And after those 13 football players have their pending charges cleared, then Tressell can get back to focusing on winning another NC.

kosar, I could care less if someone was bashing you or being sarcastic, I just put up the smiley to be funny, guess you guys just look for stuff to put down those of us on the right side:nono:
Not true, ctown. For instance, I think Dubya makes a lot of good points in this article.
Bush Hosts Clinton's Portrait Unveiling
By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) offered a glowing tribute to former President Clinton (news - web sites) on Monday as the White House unveiled the official portraits of the 42nd president and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites).
Bush rode into office on a promise "to restore honor and dignity" to the White House after eight years of Clinton, and he was bitter at Clinton for defeating his father in the 1992 presidential contest. But on Monday, Bush delivered a lengthy, forceful defense of his predecessor, and welcomed dozens of Clinton administration officials back into the White House.
"As a candidate for any office, whether it be the state attorney general or the president, Bill Clinton (news - web sites) showed incredible energy and great personal appeal," Bush said. "As chief executive, he showed a deep and far- ranging knowledge of public policy, a great compassion for people in need, and the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president."
Bush left Clinton laughing so hard that his face turned red with a jibe about Clinton's service in Texas to George McGovern's failed 1972 presidential campaign.
Mostly, though, Bush gave an almost nostalgic tribute to the Democratic former president.
"Bill Clinton could always see a better day ahead and Americans knew he was working hard to bring that day closer," Bush said. "Over eight years it was clear that Bill Clinton loved the job of the presidency. He filled this house with energy and joy. He's a man of enthusiasm and warmth, who could make a compelling case and effectively advance the causes that drew him to public service."
Clinton and his wife ? now in the Senate ? returned to the White House for the official presentation of the portraits that will hang in the White House. The former president's portrait will hang near the Grand Staircase just inside the north entrance of the White House. It will bump a portrait of the first President Bush to another position in the hall. The portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton, now the junior U.S. senator from New York, will be displayed one flight below with other former first ladies.
"She inspires respect and loyalty from those who know her, and it was a good day in both their lives when they met at the library at Yale Law School," Bush said of Mrs. Clinton and her husband.
Clinton said: "The president, by his generous words to Hillary and me today, has proved once again that in the end, we are held together by this grand system of ours that permits us to debate and struggle and fight for what we believe is right."
"And because it's free, because it is a system of majority rule and minority rights, we're still around here after over 200 years. And most of the time, we get it right. And I'm honored to be a small part of it."

Yes, President Bush spoke at the event, praising President Clinton's "energy and joy." He also said "Over eight years, it was clear Bill Clinton loved the job of the presidency. He filled this house with energy and joy." In other words, it was a completely non-political, positive event to honor the hanging of the official presidential portrait.
Now, understand the setting: here you have George Bush, who ran for office against the Clinton administration promising to restore honor to the White House. These are ideological opposites. Yet, Republican President George Bush can set all of that aside and out of respect for the office of the presidency, have this ceremony.
Contrast that with the remarks awhile back of Al Gore, who called on Bush's entire cabinet to resign, and who has accused the president of being a liar and misleading the nation, among other things. The left loves to demonize Republicans for being hateful, but it sure looks like the other way around these days.
This is the new face of politics. The Democrats are the new party of shrill, intolerant, uptight whiners, and there's George Bush praising political rival Clinton while smiling, joking and having a good time.
Now you tell me just who is mean-spirited?

Sounds to me like they just don't want the NCAA snooping around at the real problems, but I'm pessimistic by nature. Got a national championship that was bought and paid for but you'll be able to tell the grandkids that you saw the Buckeyes win the greatest football game of our generation . . . and C-town will be able to tell his grandkids that the night that Ohio State won it all, he was at madjacks sticking it in Mr. Hockey's face. Carpe Diem, indeed.

BBC--I'm cracking up! I'm from Henderson (just across the river from Evansville). I thought the Purple Aces were professionals when I was little! They had some pretty good squads back in the day, though. I have very fond memories eating cracker jacks at Roberts Stadium!
On another Evansville sports note, I thought the Triplets were actually the Detroit Tigers that had two stadiums.

The line on the three programs that are clean actually came from the head basketball coach at my high school a few years (well, plenty of years) back. It always struck me as funny due to the fact that by saying that Evansville is clean, one can infer that the Valpo?s and the other teams in that conference are dirty. Always have respect for basketball teams made up of eight white guys that have no discernable talent and the Purple Aces always seem to fit the bill.
Ohio State is actually the only program that Gerry Faust ever spoke badly about and from a god-fearing Irish Catholic, that means a lot to me.
Sorry to hijack this political thread, but I?m sure that there will be more. However, please keep all Evansville basketball conversation in this thread.

I rarely question the opinions of legendary coaches like Gerry Faust, but was there anything specific that he disliked about Ohio State? Or was he just jealous of winning programs in general?
kosar said:
Probably had to do with the Spielman recruiting or the fact that he saw what happened when he was coaching Cincinnatti Moeller; he's too sweet of a guy to get into details, but read "The Golden Dream" and it might state more.
I doubt he was jealous of Ohio State's program. Those were the Earle Bruce years when he was at ND.
