It should not have surprised me, but it did. Today I received more responses to my blog on OSU's despicable lack of honor than to any story I've written. Thinking about it, I should not have been surprised. Most stories I read here, celebrate women, humanity, sex, truth, justice, and 'The American Way.'
Fuck! Did I really say that?
Listen guys and gals. Your feedback to me and Auguy is truly appreciated, but if there is any hope that we can change this travesty, send an email to the president of THE fucking Ohio Sate fucking University and tell him what a chickenshit bunch of assholes they are.
I won't pretend to suggest what to say. Your own thoughts, said in your own words would be far more likely to have an impact than a bunch of duplicates. If you are pissed, say so, don't hold back.

My own letter to Dr. Drake is below.

Dr. Drake -
I'll make this short.
In 1978, my father and I watched Woody Hayes strike a Clemson player on national TV. His history of inappropriate behavior was known and inadequately addressed.
Close to forty years later, you and your institution clearly demonstrate that you have learned nothing about honor, honesty, nor integrity. You have found your 'managers' to be at fault, but your so-called penalty is worse than inadequate.
How many more spouses will be abused and unheard because reports are not adequately investigated?
How many athletes will be raped and molested because the institutions that should protect them turn blind eyes?
How many more perpetrators will be coddled or mildly penalized to protect their institutions' reputations?
You've not lost a fan, because I never was one. At one time, I respected your institution. I no longer do.
There is not enough money in the world to buy back the respect you and your institution have lost.
If Vince Dooley were as dishonorable as your coaching staff, I would have demanded his hide be nailed to the entrance of Sanford Stadium.
****
If you haven't figured it out - I'm really pissed about this!
