Understand that this thread is titled Rumors. Will place this little tid bit here because it is a speculative rumor/fact.
If you folks are not aware, Urban Meyer has purchased a home in Columbus, Ohio. This information comes to me through my wife, who knows more about football than I do, pretty close anyway. My friends and I love watching the games with her. (1971 Graduate UGA Interior Design). Spent a lot of time on the turf in Sanford Stadium marching and such.
There I go again, easy for me to get off track, wait until you reach my age, you will begin to understand. . . .
My wife is in the insurance business and a person that we know very well and is very successful in the insurance business relayed that information to her. This friend played golf on a scholarship in college, although not at The Ohio State. He however wears the OSU colors and is a HUGE supporter, meaning greenbacks and the like.
Thought I would post this for this reason. Meyer left Florida because of health problems. Now with ESPN regularly. Once he takes the head coaching job at OSU, ESPN will give coverage to the Buckeyes like none of us have seen before. Many of their commentators are OSU folks. Being a "old southern boy" I understand how it works above the Mason/Dixon line. Think you and I have seen the Buckeyes put on a platter before, watch, Urban Meyer is going to be named the next head coach.
Apparently OSU did not take a solid look at his players arrest records while in Gainesville. Still waiting for the NCAA to bring the hammer down on OSU. I did not forget my rantings about Ohio State after the cheating and whatever else went on there, for years and years earlier this year. My main man was kentdaddy, both of us could see this coming.
Just a little thingy that I thought I would pass along. Scandals don't mean a damn thing in college these days. Be down to pick up that $80,000 ride provided by an unknown person after signing day and the announcement of the new coach at OSU. NCAA folks, dog chasing its tail.
Edit: Many of the folks that read the postings on this board will be putting this in their columns and on the air waves. You heard it here first.
