    Just curious, did you catch Urbs running a train on your mom? I can't figure out all the irrational hate you seem to have for the man.

    You will notice that StarBuck has an irrational anger toward many. Just ask him about Terelle P and watch the 4 letter words start flying off the page.

    WTF?

    It is far from irrational to think Meyer is an asshole. For every five people that think he is a rock star, there are another five people that think he is a sleazy asshole. No one gives a shit if you disagree with him but why the hell are you talking about Urb running a train on his mom? Asshole.....

    FYI -- I like Urban....my parents think he's an asshole.

    Gennie- did you bother to read any of this guy's posts before coming after me? Before you champion the defense & honor of a spiteful, angry db, give it a shot. I can't determine why he frantically rants that anyone who likes (or has any open mind to) Urban is a homer/moron/etc... I never liked Cooper, but didn't feel the need to spit in your face for thinking he was good/acceptible/whatever you felt. For the record, I think Meyer is an ass, but he is our ass...

    Hold on stop the presses!

    Zach Smith wet behind the ears 20+ year old coach is being a dick to high school coaches?

    If so wow just wow, he wouldn't even be here if it wasn't because of his old man.

    Maybe it's not a mystery why Smith and coach W is struggling on the recruiting trail.

    Jbook, can you elaborate please? I don't know anything about this. Thanks bud.

    Good call on the "he's our ass" comment. That is exactly how I feel about him. I don't mind the blunt statements and the extreme pressure he puts on everyone around him because I don't play or work for him. With that said, if he was my boss or coach, I probably would find him very difficult to deal with. With that said, what I care about is wins on the field and few arrests off it. If Meyer can deliver, I'll support him. If he can't, I won't have to call for his head...it is the people who work/play for him that will be doing it.

    As for this guys posts...I don't know what he has said in the past. The only thing I saw was the he was critical of Meyer and you attacked him for it. If it is a consistent pattern for him to ruffle feathers (see Alphabuckeye), then I get why you said what you did. However, I do get frustrated sometimes with the Meyer cult that has developed on this board because you can't even question the guy right now.

    On a side not...apparently, Urban never did greet the camp staff and was only present during an 8 minute speech he gave to the campers...then wasn't seen again. So, if you're a parent looking to send your kid to a camp to see Urban Meyer, you may want to rethink it. If you're a fan hoping Urban isn't wasting his time being around kids who will never play at OSU, then you win!

    Coach,

    I don't doubt what you were told. However, I have a friend that had this to say about the same camp.

    ------------------------------------

    My son was there. He did take a photo with every camper. Each kid had 4 seconds to run up grab the football and smile. No retakes! Jake's came out fine, but Urban must have posed for over 500 photos.

    Th other noticable difference was that they did NOT get to work out at the Woody like last year. The other staff was very excessible and Jake worked with Vrabel a good deal.

    All in all it was fun, but he felt last year was moreso.

    LUVDABUCKS1 said that Smith is one of the coaches who is being an ass hat towards the other coaches. Many question if Zach Smith had the experience of being a WR coach at OSU. His only other coaching experience was at Temple.

    Many people suspect that he got the WR out of respect from Urban towards his grandfather Earle Bruce. Now if what these men are saying in this thread Zach Smith is one of the current coaches who acting like he is a Rock Star, and treating the other High School coaches like shit. I have no idea if it's true but one of the gentleman who is beating this drum pretty loud is saying if. If it true shame on Smith.

    Until he wins multiple national titles, runs through the big ten, & smokes that team like Tress did, he is just a guy with an awesome resume and crazy expectations. Personally, if I was given the opportunity & unlimited resources to name Tressel's replacement, Urban would remain at the top of my list. He may be out spoken, excruciatingly black and white, and no nonsense, but weren't these characteristics we have all wanted to see more of these past 10 years? And I cannot name one successful general who was known for being agreeable.

    Hey Dave...I haven't had a chance to come back to the thread for a couple of days. But yep, my buddy that worked the camp said the photo was still available to the kids, which is a good thing. He also said, despite not being all that organized (which the BH reminded everyone today it was the staff's 1st go of it and took Tress a few years to really get it organized) it was still an intense camp and the kids were worked hard. He also mentioned, and we all pretty much know this, that because of this staff's attention and emphasis on toughness that this team will have a different personality from the teams we've seen at OSU the last several years. I know I have been one to - despite my love of how Tress operated - criticize the more recent teams for not being tough and not being nasty. To me, that was the main thing missing. Well, and we all pretty much knew it, but this team's identity will be for nastiness and physicality. My guy was talking to some coaches and they were saying that's one of their MO's. So...there is a lot to look forward to with this staff! Eventhough a few were trying to spin this thread negatively, it's mostly good at the WHAC! Even if Warriner is kind of a jerk! :)
