'Save Urban Meyer' rally was small; here's why it was still a big problem

The good news is that the estimated crowd at the “Save Urban Meyer” rally Monday evening was about 200. It lasted 10 minutes. They chanted and sang “Carmen Ohio” and waved signs, basically turning this into “GameDay” for the disturbingly out of touch, and then it was over.

The gathering of 200 myopic freaks — incredibly including Stacy Elliott, father of former Buckeye Ezekiel Elliott, who was suspended by the NFL last year for alleged domestic violence — is an embarrassment to the school. But 200 don’t speak for an entire, massive fan base.

The bad news is that by the time the rally commenced at 6 p.m. outside Ohio Stadium, some 28,200 signatures had been gathered on an online petition to “save” the Buckeyes’ $7 million god-coach from the horrors of paid administrative leave. That’s a significant number, and perhaps indicative of the kind of backlash that could await Ohio State if it chooses to seriously sanction — or even dismiss — the second-best current coach in college football.

Where were our rallies?

Bad look. Glad we didn't rally.

I'm afraid to comment. I'm currently in Ohio; they may have my phone bugged and I'm not in the mood to be brawling with any Buckeyes.

You're definitely on a list. Good luck down there.

Me too, though I have to think had Coach D or KingI been threatened it might have happened.

Unfortunately we're about to have 3 more months of saturation on the airwaves over this case because of the 2 nominees for Gov.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-08, 10:48

Paula still lurking in the weeds too. Something is coming there just not sure what.

by **steveschneider** 2018-08-08, 11:18

Just saw the shit about Stacey Elliot. That’s bad.

Damn, I could be disconnected, but it seems like the new wave is focused on Hell To Pay if you place your trust in someone and they fuck up (by the hype machine standards).

I hate zero tolerance, even if it applies to people in lofty $$ positions. The new social media seems so Salem Witch... kill a reputation based on clicks is fucking wrong.

And, as I write this, Urban could have tossed a blind eye. I just don't know. But, I also don't like the trend.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-08, 18:56

Urban isn't going anywhere. It will be interesting to see if this situation leaves a permanent red mark on his rep in the media (and thus public's) eye as it seems to have with Coach D and Izzo.

It won't. He has local support, so national will move on.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-08, 20:44

Good point

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-08-09, 02:07

it will still be brought up by the tv network every game though

Interesting. Never thought of that angle since our university doesn't get local media support.

been saying that since the story broke.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-09, 19:50

Wow. This is interesting. From 11 Warriors.

TL;DR - Both Zach AND Courtney's Mothers back Zach Smith's version of the events and say that Courtney said she was going to take Zach and Urban down.

Certainly not beyond the realm of possibility.

The Facebook story linked within makes her look even worse.

So the wife beater's mom backs the wife beater?

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-09, 22:09

Well obviously. But more interesting is the wife beater's wife's mom backs the wife beater.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-10, 08:06

Hearing some rumblings that Urban may be cleared in a classic Friday afternoon news dump. Not sure if legit.

Stop. You’re making Oedipus horny.

This seems like an unrelated salacious detail......piling on.

Report: Ex-Ohio State coach took nude photos, bought sex toys

by **Death Roe** 2018-08-19, 21:37

A poster from Bucknuts is saying he's been fired.

People reacting well.

by **CORNER BLITZ** 2018-08-19, 21:40

he as in Urbs?

by **Death Roe** 2018-08-19, 22:16

Yes sorry hun

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-19, 22:28

I will not say it I will not say it I will not say it.

I would bet a lot that this is not true.

by aualum06 2018-08-19, 22:34

I doubt they fire him. Like I say Smith yes, urban no way

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2018-08-19, 22:37

Whatever minuscule chance Smith had of getting reinstated was destroyed with Friday's report. But yeah, Urban, no fucking way in hell and I will go to my grave believing that until it happens.

Maybe not, but he certainly could have “health problems” and be the head coach at Texas in a year.

by Guest 2018-08-20, 07:15

I'd be pretty shocked if true.,.....but there is an MGoBlow thread with some links if anyone want to read them.

I think Durkin gets it today though.

Yeah he's getting torched... I hope it's true but that's too much good luck.

Durkin is totally going down though.
