Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

One of the more interesting aspects of this is how population in general reacts. It appears as if the 2015 incident was completely denied by Zack Smith and the police investigation agreed with him.
 In other words it’s a he said she said and whether anything even happened at all, yet everyone is so quick to assume that he did these things he’s being accused of.

 I have actually been the witness in court to a similar situation where she abused him but tried to have him prosecuted for abusing her.

The  Faux out rage of Urban’ detractors is humorous and predictable

How do you respond to the detail that everything in McMurphy's article(s) has been documented? (Arrests, charges, photos, texts with Shelley Meyer, etc.) That it doesn't include any anonymous sources? That, unless the documents are questioned, the story can stand alone without hand waving about "whatever else is out there?"
That's the aspect that makes it most credible.

Any of OSU’s 15 solid 2019 commits softening?  

Logic dictates Urban’s entire staff be swept at the end of the season since they were in on the dirty secret.   Everyone should be highly motivated in camp.

The timing of this mess could not be worse from the Buckeyes point of view.

Word that Dwan Mathis reached out to MSU about flipping back, and was told no.

Am I to read into this that you are a person working in the legal profession? (sorry if that's a tad personal, but I wanted to shape a response and that context would matter)

When did Smith's wife actually file charges?I mean for real,because unless Urban witnessed the abuse,what legally was he obligated to do?We know morally what the obligation is.But was Smith ex also reluctant to get him fired.Just asking because I'm not spending any time investigating.IMO Meyer and Gene Smith will both be shown the door

The DV situations can be tricky. A friend works in an ER and will talk to girls who say "Yes he busted up my face, but I can't leave him."
I saw a case where the victim was publicly saying "It's not how it looks." And the cops had a house that had been broken into by a drunk ex-lover and pressed some kinds of charges.

 There is no dispute about the arrest in 2009.  
The question at hand is 2015.  There was no arrest.  Shelley Meyer encouraged her to press charges and she wouldn’t.  
The police investigated and also did not press 
You have heard only one side- the side of someone who is going public only after her income source has dried up. 
I would think you would like to hear what Zach Smith has to say and what Meyer had to say. 
If you watch Urbans comments specifically he says “when we looked into 2015 there was nothing there”. 
He also mentions “ what was reported is not what happened “. 
I get the feeling there is a he said- she said aspect to this- so in that case what do you do?

No.  As a personal witness.   The female pressed charges for him hitting her.  
I had witnessed the exact opposite 

My most memorable client I ever defended. He called the cops.  Why? His wife was whacking him with a rake and her mother was throwing cans of soup at him.  My guy has a witness who tells me quote "he took it like a champ ". What do the police do when they show up? Arrest my client.  MKE PD policy. He didn't complete some household tasks he was supposed to do. She was none too pleased about it.

This case dragged out until we finally got the wife to show up and tell the Court she was doing the beating.  They hugged each other in the courtroom .  My guy had priors but never for DV.

As said before, DV cases can be really difficult to handle for anybody.
