I prefer the Briles line of "can we just talk football?" or something similar to that.

Total clown.

[Scholz]

Yep. Not to mention his son Kendall's "do you like white girls" sales pitch...

[Bloeddyr10]

I totally forgot those were on the Ohio State staff at one point. I figured Herman was "clear" because he wasn't on the Florida staff in 2009 or the 2015 Ohio State staff. Drayton wasn't at Florida in 2009 either or Ohio State in 2015, it seems.

This is definitely something to keep an eye on.

Sucks for Beck and Drayton because those questions probably aren't going away.

It doesn't really matter from a PR perspective since Ohio State is already getting shit on, but I wonder if either one had any Title IX clauses in their contracts.

Basically a terrible situation all around.

OrangeBloods had a brief report on the first practice, but there's not much news.

OL Calvin Anderson didn't participate so he could watch the offense and RB Tre Watson was taking second team reps behind RB Daniel Young.

I don't plan on breaking down practice reports since a lot of it is repeat info or meaningless altogether, so if anyone has questions just shoot and I'll answer.

[Vito Corleone]

I still fail to see how Urban Meyer is responsible for the actions of his assistant. Even if he knew about it, how is it any of his business what this dude does.

I get that Urban is a ass, and has had a win at all costs approach to athletics since he was at Utah, but it's one thing if your athletes are doing bad stuff, he is their mentor and role model, but his assistants?

The reason I'm asking this is because as far as I know, no charges were ever filed and this isn't like the Paterno thing where some dude was raping little kids, this was a adult man being abusive to an adult woman. At any time should could have got legal help.

I'm not asking this because I'm siding with anyone, but it brings me back to the situation of the two Longhorns who were accused of rape, and after legal due process were found not guilty. If Urban wanted to, could he have done anything, without causing a legal issue or escalating the problem for this woman?

This is a witch hunt, and I just don't see how Urban is to blame for this particular problem.

He is NOT responsible for the actions, he is responsible for REPORTING IT TO HIS SUPERIORS.

Did he report this to his AD when he ( allegedly found out about the 2015 incident ) to his superiors? Answer NO

Not only that he LIED about it in front of the Big x media. They specifically asked him.

This is an OSU call. It’s in his contract with OSU. He apparently knew his assistant had allegedly assualted his wife in 2015. If you Know this at UT, and don’t report it to Greg F... grounds for termination. This is why the AD and admin exist... “Urban, go back to coaching, we will take it from here. It’s not your problem anymore.” Also... Why was the assistant FIRED? Why? Because it happened AGAIN.

And they know this shit after the Baylor ordeal, the staff HAS TO BE GIVEN VERY SPECIFIC instructions on how to handle this so they can do what they do best, coach.

And it’s a frkn assistant COACH beating up his wife! Not a kid...

[TFloss32]

Urban, more than likely is done.

Maybe you're right, but this day and age when you're harboring someone like Zach Smith, with those accusations- it is NO bueno. Plus, Urban has always been scumbag.

My amateur opinion is Urban and his team know he's done, so they're attempting to accomplish two things:

a.) muddy the waters as much as possible with lies and diversions hoping he won't be fired with cause, so the contract buyout will remain significant (see the $15 mil Briles received)
b.) get out of this smelling as best you can so you position yourself favorably for the next job, there could be openings in December such as LSU and Notre Dame

I don't necessarily believe either are going to work, but that's how I feel they're approaching it.

Maybe, maybe there's a small outside chance the AD falls on the sword, but the ultimate problem is Urban has lied multiple times already for no reason other than he's simply an arrogant prick.

I think you have nailed it.

Meyer now claims he did know about 2015 and reported it.
Liar. Yet they put a guy who followed the rules on administrative leave?

Jesus....
Only 5 days after the lie with no clarification on who he reported it to.
Sounds like OSU coaches and AD are attempting to cover for each other.
And are making a total mess of it.

But hell I thought Briles was gone early on...

Meyer has to be gone. They fd this up so badly. It’s gotta be compensation discussions now.

[Vito Corleone]

I just don’t get it.

At what point is a manager liable for his employees actions? I’m not condoning anyone’s actions, but there are a lot of other people closer to the situation who did nothing about this.

If a man did something like that to one of my daughters, I’m not telling her to change her actions, I’m going to the police and then I’m going to whip his ass.

If this was going on all the way back to 2015 then Tom Herman probably knew about it, then he is equally to blame. Do you see where I’m going with this.

In my mind there is one guilty party in this, the asshole coach, if we are to start the blame game, then I’m pointing my finger at parents and a lot of people that also knew and did nothing.

[Kermit]

Abuse. How does it work? If Tom Herman knew and did nothing about it, then fuck him too and goodbye. This isn’t hard.

This is not how it works now.

If you coach kids and you find out an assistant who interacts with those kids beats up his wife, you had better report it to admin. This protects the coach from the “What am I suppose to do with Jerry S blame game” . Let the coach, coach, not be Solomon and have to make some difficult legal decision. Admin then has protocol for how to approach the law without getting your ass sued off because of false accusations. There is a reason the wives were all discussing does Urban know.

If this woman is truly being assaulted and the police know but no one does anything do we wait for her to be crippled? The police, then the law, legally determines what level of security is required. They must be informed. Even if the person getting beat up does not necessarily want to inform the police, “this time” The police and the law can then put together some sort of timeline for the person being assaulted.

So you get yourself thrown in jail after going to the police... How is that gonna help your daughter? That helps you think you solved things. You need to be with your daughter. Imo...

As far as assistant coaches, they inform the head coach I’m guessing. Btw, Herman was of course gone from OSU by 2015.

The schools have well defined protocol now. The parties involved know their legal responsibilities. And if they don’t, the AD should be fired. I worked as a TA at UT and we were instructed on protocol on profs interaction with students (office hours) concerning this, especially if we officed with the profs. And if it was found out we knew of incidents and did not report to the head of the dept, we could be held legally liable, so we were told as employees of UT.

And yep, I got a story. I not only told the dept head, I told any females who approached me on seeing the prof to bring a friend, preferably male, during office hours. The power of THE GRADE is used in evil ways, so can the power of the salary via marriage. Later I found out this prof was already under investigation. I’m coming from a sensitive spot. Thus my disgust with this type of thing.

As far as a company you work for.... They should have protocol probably involving sessions with HR. Take up all “what if’s” with HR I would think.

Back to recruiting.

Too many people on social media commenting on things they know little about IMO. How far to carry all this hang every man who has laid a hand on his wife. Or a man who has had unmarried sex. How far to go .

1. Being around kids is the one thing I totally get, a guy that does this as no business being in a position of influence around kids.

2. The mindset of a person that abuses a woman is dominance, they want to dominate that person, they are bullies, and I hate bullies. For a bully it's not enough to beat you they have to take away your dignity. Oh I have no problem getting into it with such a person, I haven't met a bully yet that likes being in a real fight, it sends a strong message to that person of what will happen if he ever crosses that line again. To me it's worth whatever happens after that. Even if I get my ass kicked, he will know if it happens again I will come after him again.

3. I have a more personal story, I grew up with a father who had PTSD and he was also abusive, I had to stand up to him, and this is why I feel the way I do. I was the victim, until I decided to stop being the victim.

With all that said, I Still just don't know how a boss can be fired for the actions of an employee, especially if he was not a witness to the crime.

Because it’s in his contract. And he knows the protocol. He knows his role, he has to or he should not be a head coach.
Its really that simple. As far as how far down the line and hearsay... there is HR and attorneys for that. There can be some very muddy situations. Urban’s is not. Like Tfloss said, he is getting advice on muddying the waters because he has had to now admit he lied. We also know now that Meyer and the coach says he was counseled by Meyer. Further demonstrationing that he knew the rules and even tried to correct the behavior which he is actually not trained to do. It’s more than saying stop or you are out. This guy had a real habitual problem based on his wife’s and his accounts.

You could take on an abusive person because you had the physical capability of doing so. This lady did take on her husband verbally, but she was not gonna win a physical battle. My brother and I had to stop my dad from wailing on our sister after she wrote a dirty note about a teacher in school and was caught. There are those moments where physical strength is immediately needed. Then talking it out might work. My dad still thanks us. Especially me as the eldest. He had a bad temper about “sullying the family name”

Im really glad Anderson went directly with the 1s instead of waiting. He said he had studied the playbook. No standing around. Can’t wait for him to take on zHager in pads, should be epic.

You don’t like it, change the law, or don’t sign the contract.

Hang him.... Poor man. He might walk away to a new job taking with him millions of dollars. Or he might stay and make millions of dollars. In any case, OSU has the ball. Poor innocent Urban. It’s almost liked he has never lied before.

Abuse. How does it work? If Tom Herman knew and did nothing about it, then fuck him too and goodbye. This isn’t hard.

Herman stated in a presser yesterday or the day before that it took place after he was gone.

Meyer states at Big X days yes he knew about it and reported to the appropriate OSU officials.

Done.
Over.
OSU might investigate the handling further up, but one of the best coaches in college football is at home where he should be.

I thought it was ongoing abuse from well before that.

[Vito Corleone]

I thought it was ongoing abuse from well before that.

The thing about abuse is that it isn't just ongoing, but it's almost always a snowball effect. What I mean is it starts off with yelling and over time it gets worse and worse until it turns violent. Without knowing anything, I can guarantee it was going on pre 2015 but don't know how bad it was.

[pgardn]

I thought it was ongoing abuse from well before that.

2015 because that was the date Urban told a lie about.
There was other stuff from 2009 at Florida apparently. I would have to re check it.

And this is exactly why it’s a good idea to report the physical abuse even if the victim does not go to the police the first few times because, “it will stop”. When the victim can’t take it any longer and is asked if she ever told anyone else there is a record. Or if the real victim is the possibly the husband, as he did not abuse, they have some idea what the timeline of the lies or omissions are.

Its seriously is like the village protecting the weaker members or finding out who is lying. They can back check thru what other people heard or saw. These things are valuable to get things sorted out truthfully, if there is really any way to do so. This can clearly be abuse by the female by lying. And it even happens the other way round as the male does not fight back or gets hit with weapons.

You can present 1000s what ifs. The 2015 incident was lied about. We know that. That’s why this whole thing is a problem. Urban tells the truth to begin with, he is clean and the OSU admin is going to do some explaining. Urban is the coach if he just tells the truth. He was informed. Now he says he made an omission. Fck That. If Urban was trying to protect the AD then that’s who gets it. And this could still happen.

[pgardn]

A little birdie told me that it was Tufono and Tuitele, then flew away right into an electrical wire and fried itself extra crispy......

I actually saw this happen with a Great Blue Heron in Aransas Pass. They have a huge wingspan and the bird bridged the gap between the high potential and low potential line. We never found the bird as it crashed in a bunch of scrub down by private property by the “Fina Docks”

Ahhh the things we see...

The thing about abuse is that it isn't just ongoing, but it's almost always a snowball effect. What I mean is it starts off with yelling and over time it gets worse and worse until it turns violent. Without knowing anything, I can guarantee it was going on pre 2015 but don't know how bad it was.

Sucks you always want to stockpile as much great talent as possible but not exactly hurting. We got 3 WR’s all within the top 175 players in the country. We probably take one more and I’m sure they’ll find a good candidate to fill the spot.

Let’s keep telling ourselves that everytime that we lose a prospect to a regional recruiting rival.

Like I pointed out already, 20 of the top 40 guys on the 247 Texas top 100 are either WR or DBs. Right now the one thing this state is producing are guys at those positions. I hate losing top guys to anyone, but there are a lot out there and since recruiting is at best a crap shoot, I just don't lose sleep over it.

Right now Texas is it's own worse enemy because we have no track record of winning over the last 9 years, we get back to winning and all this is fixed.

Here is what Texas needs to do

1. Out perform ags on the field, we just need to look like the better team.
2. Beat Oklahoma, when it comes to the Red River it's time to put up or shut up.
3. Win 10 games minimum, Tom Herman needs to prove he is the man

I look at this roster and to me it looks pretty stacked, weak link is as always the offensive line, if they can perform then I think Texas will be hell on wheels, if they suck as they have over the last 9 seasons then it's same shit different year.

i agree about texas just needing to win to start getting the upper hand over both OU and a&m in terms of recruiting because texas will always have the advantage of being located in austin, tradition and brand name in its favor. the problem is that those things in of themselves aren't all that matters anymore. so, if herman can get the horns back to being in the mix (at least for a conference title) that would be a big advantage.

Right now it's too easy to negative recruit against Texas. And it's mostly legit. Too much talent has come to Texas and didn't do jack, too much poor football is being played in Austin. That is exactly what Wilson said, when he committed to Ohio State. Now I know he was just doing his pitch to other Texas guys to follow him to Columbus, but the facts don't change.

The Ags are doing well because they are selling a championship level coach who as of right now is undefeated in College station, they are pimping the SEC and those things are selling.

I am confident, the ags are going to start off 2-2, most feel that way, but if they are, then I am curious to see if anyone has second thoughts about going there. I"m pretty sure most won't but they have a full class already and the hard part is keeping all those guys.

What happens in College Station won't make a bit of difference if Texas can't start winning, If Texas wants back on top they have to worry about want they are doing and nothing more.

I went to UT from 95-99. I went to a few games over the last couple of years, and it was definitely not as great an atmosphere.

They are also hearing CB Davante Davis tweaked his hamstring. Severity is unknown.

Of note: CB Kobe Boyce was first in, when Davis went down ahead of Cook.

They're also hearing great things so far with freshman LB Joseph Ossai. He was getting reps with the ones in yesterdays scrimmage. Look for him to be a contributor this year.

Congrats to TFLoss becoming the new mod and a big Thank You from Houston. Staying sane in Aggieland isn't easy.

After a lifetime of lurking on this board I feel like I just got a job promotion. Finally, the power to ignore is mine! Feels good.

Latest line change after recent events has UT-13.5 but I actually think it will be closer. Hard to believe we're less than 3 weeks away.
