Buried in today's Columbus Dispatch report on where those salacious Jim Tressel emails ended up is a gem of a quote from Terrelle Pryor's high school coach, Ray Reitz, demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt that after some very public false starts, An Ohio State University is about ready to start handling this scandal the way a national power should. That's right: the sacred invocation of the "HATERZ" defense is at hand:
Ohio State Investigation Births ‘HATERZ’ Defense, At Last
Terrelle is loved back here around Jeannette, and I think he and Coach Tressel have done a helluva job at Ohio State. He is a kid and has made mistakes, but there are some people that have wanted to see Terrelle fail since he left here.
Or, they’re sleeper-cell Michigan fans.
We cave. Mea culpa, y’all. Everyone, everywhere has been rooting for Terrelle Pryor to swap discount tattoos for football memorabilia and get dinged for it by the NCAA. Our sincere applause to Coach Reitz, who is unknowingly receiving silent standing ovations from Mike Garrett, the ghost of 1990s Florida State football, and the entire Auburn Family.
