Owner of Railhead is Charlie Geren, current state representative from Fort Worth. Don’t see anything about Deputy US Marshal in his bio though. But the place was loud, they couldn’t be heard everywhere, We were just lucky enough to be sitting next to them.

Geren is in one of my favorite Riff Ram videos.

Welcome to KillerFrogs, Yance. I completely get the desire to defend your program, as well as your coach. I do. We've had to do it when "reports came out" that we had an enormous drug ring being run campus wide by our entire football team. The cubbies down south of us defend Briles to the death, claiming that "reports of mass sexual assaults on campus by football players" were all made up by their BOR. Duke fans defended their lacross players when that escort claimed she had been sexually assaulted by the team. It's natural to defend something you have such close ties to, and in some cases, you might even be RIGHT to.

But with all due respect, I had a hard time taking your responses seriously. First of all, any official statement by a University used to refute an accusation of harboring and protecting an alleged spouse abuser that begins with, "We believe [Coach] Meyer" rings a little hollow in a lot of people's ears. Like, most of society's ears. And in that last highlighted part, they are essentially admitting that Meyer covered up for him, and in return they are covering up for Meyers. In their minds they are washing their hands of it and not being specific by stating, "multiple other examples of inappropriate conduct by Zach Smith while employed as an assistant football coach, some known by Coach Meyer and/or Gene Smith and others on the football staff...." By giving him a paid suspension, one in which he's allowed to still coach six days out of the week, Ohio State has stated that Urban Meyers has carte blanche to run his program how he sees fit, employing whomever he wants regardless of severe personal flaws that have potentially disastrous influences on 17-22 year-old men entrusted to his care.

Let me give you an example of how ludicrous those "We believe..." statements are: "I believe that Urban Meyers and Ohio State University protected Zach Smith because of his worth to recruiting, and in doing so, placed hundreds of young men under the influence of an emotionally and morally unfit deviant." Hey, I said "I believe," so it must be true, right?

If you can legitimately watch the press conference of Urban Meyers reading that lifeless, prepared statement and claim that he is accepting ANY responsibility whatsoever of his actions regarding keeping Smith on his staff, regardless of his (alleged) criminal activity and (proven) moral bankruptcy, then we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Just to clarify - the Duke community that supported the Lax players, should have because they were in fact innocent. That example doesn’t fit the others, but I understand the where you were going...

Well, it fits the case in our example, as well, because it wasn't the whole team, and they weren't running a whole drug ring.

But baylor? Yeah, screw them.

Yikes! I mean, this is a big game and all. I'm excited for the game tomorrow but I can honestly name 3 games on the Buckeyes schedule I'm more excited for (Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State) at a minimum. I could maybe throw in Nebraska and the Big 10 championship game if Ohio State makes it.

No disrespect though, it's a big game. Michigan is the Super Bowl followed by Penn State but Penn State fans get mad that Ohio State doesn't consider them a big rival.

If there was more history between TCU and Ohio State, I think it would be a bigger game. I'm sure whoever loses the game tomorrow will consider the 2019 game in Columbus their super bowl.........errrrrr, wait - never mind, canceled per a good business plan ;)

This is not a super bowl for either team. It is non conference, there is no history between the two teams, we are states apart and it is early season.

Both squads have bigger worries coming after this game.

The reported payout for this game is the biggest thing.

Other than that, you just hope for a fun game.

Which is why I think this should have been an opening week game. Labor day weekend would have given osu fans more time to travel and do tourist things.

OSU fans sign up as fake TCU fans, and then start fighting with each other. Hilarious!!! Now go away...no, stay. You're making this looooooong Saturday go by a little faster.

GO FROGS!!

All that, and the most telling thing was you contradicting your own schools report.

How so? Show me.

This is what the Janet Reno wannabe said at the presser, in case you forgot.

Overall, Coach Meyer impressed us with a sincere commitment to the Respect for Women core value that he espouses and tries to instill in his players....We believe, as did Zach Smith, that if ever came to learn or believe that Zach Smith had physically abused his wife, Coach Meyer would have fired Zach Smith or any other coach on the spot.​

This is what his text message was, that he mentioned. Bret McMurphy, in bearing false witness (changing his facebook posts without a retraction-its called moving the goal posts) said Smith was arrested and charged with beating his wife.

I received a text asking about Zach issues in 2009 (I knew about - it was dropped) Also, 2015 said felony arrest. I know nothing about this. Is there a way to find out exactly what his issues were? I know about 2009 and last week. That's it. Need some guidance here so when I speak to media I'm not wrong.
​
This is what Meyer said at the Big Ten Media days event.

It came back to me that what was reported wasn't actually what happened. And Shelley and I actually both got involved because of our relationship with that family and advised for counseling and wanted to help as we moved forward.

2015, I got a text late last night something happened in 2015. And there was nothing. Once again, there's nothing -- once again, I don't know who creates a story like that.....

...I'm not going to get into that, Doug. It's a very personal matter. The decision was made. I think the details that I'm obligated to give, I gave.

You're talking about people's lives, et cetera. So the decision was made. It's time to move forward. And we are in a public world. I try not to operate, especially when you're talking about personnel and people, making things because it became public.

Spoke with some buckeye fans after the game. Change this title thread. They were impressed. They felt the game could have gone either way most of the night. Liked our team speed.

Rutgers is better than Oregon State, and could only score 3 points.
