So, if I may, if I argue Urby did not do this very specific thing, but feel he did several other things wrong and came off as a gross and disingenuous human, you would not fight me on this?
I guess my question is, is the narrative you're railing against the specificity of his role in DV discussions or something larger about him in general?
No-you nailed it.
I don’t much care what rabid OSU or UM fans say or think. I mean let’s face it-they are totally self serving as a mob. Hell- the UM fans were calling for Dantonios head with the Nassau episode.
But I continue to fall into the false myth that folks on this board tend to be more balanced- more interested in the big picture. And it kicks me in the gut each time. Many here with nothing different than mob mentality.
Believe it or not- I have never been a huge Meyer fan. When he came to OSU I said “my jury is out”
One of my favorite games of all time was Lloyd kicking his ass in his last game. And Meyer’s response to that loss was to crucify his players in public. WhT a dick-that was my thought at the time.
But I have paid a lot of attention to his treatment of players and families, the types of kids he is recruiting, the punishment he doles out when players step out of line, what players and their families say about their experience during recruiting, and before an after when they leave.
It tells me he has made an intense concerted effort to do better than he did at UF. The families consistently praise the program for going way beyond football to help the kids, and consistently talk about OSU NOT negative recruiting, and more often the negative recruiting that people do against them.
So yeah. He screwed the whole ZS thing up. But that’s substantially different and more human then what most read IMO it, which is just disappointing for people on this board- IMO.
