Quote:Suspended for Buffalo, San Diego State, and Cal. I am impressed.
Who cares about the opponents? We are talking about one of OSU's best and most important players being suspended three weeks. He would have been suspended from three Big Ten games but it was an offseason activity, not during the season.
Quote:I hate Ohio State.
Why? I need a reason the team itself deserved to be hated as long as you have been watching football or it does not count.
Quote:You're kidding yourself.
Why do you think that? I know my Buckeyes better than anyone else on this board except maybe CSTblank.

If you think Meyer would suspend his best player for three straight conference games to start the season, then yes, you are kidding yourself.

Prove it. I said very clearly the reason Carlos Hyde was suspended the first three weeks was when he did something stupid, not the opponents. How can you not understand that?

How can you not understand it? It was San Jose St., Cal., and FAMU. Had it been 3 conference games, no way he'd miss all three. One....maybe.

If a player does something stupid in the offseason, his suspension will be at the beginning the season. It is that way everywhere in both the NFL and college football. So the opponents are irrelevant.

Unless of course that something stupid happens during a game in front of thousands of tv viewers the game before the conference championship....then NO punishment. Punks coached by a punk.
Quote:And neither of the mentioned tOSU players are the best on their team. It not like it was Miller or Hyde, then you might have a case about Meyer not wanting to suspend his best players, except wait a minute.. Hyde did get suspended earlier this season.
The vendetta that most have on here against tOSU is becoming sickening. From now on only SEC teams and Florida State should ever be allowed to play bowl games, that will make you happy, right?
Because the criminoles have never done anything that raised an eyebrow, right?
tOSU is cute.....
The vendetta against OSU is that they play in an inferior conference and refuse to up their schedule (sounds like the SEC's opponents).
Then you have Urban Meyer who has a long history of not punishing players for off and on the field problems. Urb's didnt have a problem with it when they were playing some of the worst teams in college football, but now when it means something he wont do it.
The only people who dont think they should be offended is OSU fans. I could see the one guy being allowed to play, but the offensive lineman for his acts and what he did leaving the field should have further recourse.

I would guess that a good 94.7% of this message board thinks you are wrong.
If it was 3 Big 10 opponenets, he would not have been suspended for those games.
You would have to be delusional to believe that Meyer would suspend any of his players before the game that could get them into the national championship. Braxton Miller would have to shake his dong in the faces of school children with an NCAA rep present for Meyer to even consider suspending him for the first quarter of the Big Ten championship.

So he should have been suspended all year?
Or you just wish he would have committed his infraction mid season, rather than in the off season. There's no satisfying you people

I've already said as much,but I'm not going to piss and moan because I don't agree with the decision that being removed from the game was punishment enough.
Quote:I've already said as much,but I'm not going to [BAD WORD REMOVED] and moan because I don't agree with the decision that being removed from the game was punishment enough.
You're not going to moan about it because its your team.
Look, this is a simple arguement. Your head coach is a piece of trash and at least one of the kids should have missed more time. After reading that conspiracy article on this thread, I have a feeling he may want to say something about this!

The first response that I agree with. A fight among arch rivals happens. The only guy that deserves to not play is Marcus Hall.
As for all the rest of the responses; please! You guys would defend your players for getting into that exact same scuffle if the players involved were wearing the uniform of your team. Stop acting holier than thou!
My team is Michigan and if it were just a scuffle without punches being thrown I think that suspensions shouldn't occur. The fact that one player threw multiple punches and another ran from the bench to throw punches, then flips the bird on his way out makes this more serious than a "it's getting awfully chippy" type scuffle. Ohio (not that stupid lowercase in front of OSU crap or the best band in the dog gone world abbreviation either) is a program that has proven to be dirty in the recent past and most programs try to right the ship after such scandals. Look at Michigan basketball and removing the banners etc. Instead Ohio hires Urban, maybe one of the slimiest of all the coaches. Combine that fact with this most recent incident, along with the arrogance and loud mouthedness of most Ohio fans and you will come to the reason that most Ohio fans are hated. Sorry.
Go Blue!
