Urban Legend Not Out Of The Woods
Just Yet
I was going to wait and post on
Friday, but this is getting a lot of momentum in the press and social
media.
McMurphy at ESPN apparently does NOT LIKE
BEING CALLED A LIAR! McMurphy
interviewed Smith’s wife and actually got TEXTS from her and others
that can prove Urban Legend in fact had
KNOWLEDGE of the attack in 2015. As you
may recall, Urban is on record from the B1G Media Days stating explicitly that
he didn’t have any knowledge of the incident. Here’s a link to McMurphy’s full account of
what went down:
I highly, HIGLHY recommend reading Brett’s
report in it’s entirety. It’s a little
long, but if you want to be able to know the facts, you have to read
it. The fact that there should have been a Title
IX investigation in 2009 and 2015 is important. There's also a suggestion that Police reports were "altered" in order to protect Smith and keep him from losing his job…And may be what
eventually brings Urban down…
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Text messages I have obtained, an
exclusive interview with the victim and other information I have learned shows
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer knew in 2015 of domestic abuse allegations against
a member of his coaching staff.
Courtney Smith, ex-wife
of fired Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith, provided text messages between
her and the wives of Ohio State coaches – including Urban Meyer’s wife, Shelley
– showing Meyer’s knowledge of the situation.
Meyer said last week
during Big Ten Media Days that he had no knowledge of two alleged domestic
violence incidents in 2015 with former assistant wide receivers coach Zach
Smith that were investigated by the Powell (Ohio) Police Department.
Meyer said had he known, he would have fired Smith in 2015
– three years before he did last week after I reported the alleged domestic
violence.
“All the (coaches) wives knew,” Courtney said.
“They all did.
Every single one.”
And here’s some texts from Zach
to Courtney which, wow:
In September of 2015, a month before Courtney officially
filed for divorce, Zach continued to send threatening text messages.
Zach texted Courtney:
“The past 3 months. You were going to try to give me a chance a week ago and
now, even though I have done NOTHING WRONG since then, you’re done with me. I
will kill that bitch and everyone involved. For ruining my life. I am getting
myself right and getting punished. F--- all of you.”
Zach to Courtney: “Just
know that now… I will find you when your out. I will come seek the douche your
with. I will f--- him up to the point that no one will recognize him”
Here’s a great article that has a
clip of Courtney being interviewed about what she believed Urban knew and when
he knew it:
Long story short: Courtney Smith was texting all the coach’s
wives and even forwarded pictures of what Smith did to her. She got a text back from Shelly Meyer
stating, “I have to tell Urban.” Smith’s
wife replied, “Please tell Urban. He needs
to know.” And if the wives
knew, the coaches had to know…
Uh-oh…
So now you have a text with Urban’s
wife stating she’s going to tell Urban and Urban at the B1G Media days stating
he didn’t know anything... Where does
that end up? Does Shelly fall on the sword
and say she never said anything to Urban?
It’ll be interesting to see how
this shakes out over the next couple of weeks.
I am now starting to believe that there’s a real “chance” of Urban getting
canned over all this and it definitely shows a character issue and a
pattern of lying to save his own butt, which in and of itself should be a
fireable offense under his turpitude clause, should the suckeyes man up and do
the right thing.
I’ve said it before and it’s
worth repeating”: The cover up is always worse than
the crime…
Camp Begins
Now that fall camp has begun, the
submarine has submerged and all we’ll be seeing of the team and players for the
next four weeks will be what the coaches allow us to hear in pressers. There’s a couple of things I’m interested in,
I guess in this order, and would like to know more about:
1.
Starting QB: If it’s NOT Patterson, I’ll be shocked. I get that Peters has a year under his belt
and I agree that after watching the spring game, McCaffery looks like he’s a
year older. But Patterson with 2 years
of experience with better receivers than he ever had a MSU has to be
the guy. If it’s not Patterson, he’ll
definitely be the most in demand QB sitting on a bench.
2.
The O-Line development. Is the
pass-pro getting better (It has to)? Are
the holes going to be open for Higdon?
3.
Speaking of which: Will
Harbaugh swallow his “NFL style drop back pass” offense a look to open up the
field with the spread? There’s at least
three QB’s in the stable with spread experience. Let’s take advantage of their skills. After watching a YouTube clip of De-Rob’s
performances over the years, I kind of miss the spread…
4.
Is Nordin out of his slump? Simple
answer of yes or no will be fine.
And I guess they really can’t answer that one until a big time extra
point or kick is needed in a Big Game.
So, the domers will probably answer that one.
5.
How good can the Defense be after the loss of Mo Hurst? I’m guess they can be just as good, but he
will leave a hole…But this is really the least of my worries going into
the season.
ESPN Staff Ranks The NC Since
Beginning of BCS Era
In what I’ll simply call, “A
travesty and a waste of time by the ESPN staff”, they attempted to rank the 21
National Champions of the BCS Era.
While the ranking in my mind is WAY OFF, it’s interesting to see how
they ranked who where and why. In my
mind, there’s no way the 2001 Canes cannot be at the top of this list. And I would have had Texas down around 9th
or 10th. So maybe I should just do this so you can be a more informed
reader.
1.
2001 Canes: That much NFL
talent?
2.
2004 USC: That team
dominated
3.
2013 FSU: Winston could
be anyone
4.
2008 Florida: I hated “Teboism”
as much as the next fan, but the kid could play…
5.
2011 Bama: 11-12 were
probably Satan’s best teams..
6.
2012 Bama: See 2011
7.
2009 Florida: See 2008
8.
1999 FSU: Great team….
9.
2017 Bama: With as many
LB’s that were hurt, they still dominated.
I know, didn’t win the SEC. So
what?
10.
2005 Texas: Where they
belong….

LNU Files Suit Against 13 Insurance Companies
I guess you could say no surprise here as someone besides LNU
has to cough up the dough for this mess.
Just for a refresher, PSU also sued their insurance company and ended up
getting some money from them, also.
I guess when you’re in the insurance biz, some day you’re gonna
have to pay…
UT Players Found NOT GUILTY Of Rape
In a story that I followed since it happened and I suspected was
yet another case of, “Crap – Everyone found out that I just banged two football
players”, the UT players were found not guilty of rape.
Now, where is the justice for the players and how should this
false accuser be punished? There should
be ramifications and severe penalties for her.
