The Bengals will still take him. Lord knows we need O-lineman (he can’t play worse then the ones we have), and he fits right into to our criminal offense.

Oh my goodness, I remember you telling me that about Boone, Max.

I would also bank on B.

JohnBoy,

“I’m sure he doesn’t care what I think, he’s probably busy watching film right now. Or drinking beer.”

I’ll go with (B). Or, off to Betty Ford Clinic, or Boone’s Farm.

Picture if you will…this has been ALL over the boards, ESPN, hell it’s even on my Yahoo page on the news wire. The perception of our beloved team is already bad….even though he technically is a non-member….this is just ANOTHER bullet in the gun of tOSU haters everywhere. This is the ultimate turd who sucked as a player, and continues his suckitude as an ex-player. Who in my opinion was probably instrumental in the overall lack of winning attitude / instinct / mental toughness of this last departing class. The left tackle who won’t go away. At least Clarett was a bad-ass on the field for one year. We got SOME mileage out of him.

Being a dickhead to the nurses on staff in the hospital is a bit overkill, imo.

He also released a statement about this being his second come-to-Jesus moment: http://www.cleveland.com/buckeyeblog/index.ssf/2009/02/ohio_state_football_a_statemen.html . The seeking “professional treatment” part reminds me of Mel Gibson. Where seeking “professional treatment” for Mel Gibson was a mask for his raging anti-Semitism, seeking “professional treatment” for Boone may be a mask for him just being a bonehead who doesn’t want to grow up like the rest of us had to.

Alcoholism here may be a symptom, and not a root cause. There’s probably other things that he needs to address.

A couple things this morning.. It seems to me that Boone has some sort of dependency problem, but what an, shall we say, untimely moment, to go on a binge. I agree with you, Vico, I think he just drank his way out of the draft. I doubt many teams are going to invest in baby-sitting this goof, especially with his marginal talents.

One of the first lights that went off for me this morning is something that JohnBoy brings up. I’m not a big fan of Bollman, but when you’ve got (IMO) a piss-poor coach like Bollman coupled with an idiot like Boone, jesuschristalmighty, it’s a wonder we did anything on offense the last few years.

This is tragic for the Boone family, and highlights a flaw at tOSU. Maybe JT can double-up as line coach as well.

Sangre,

Those are great points. I just loathe this guy…I have been banned from a site for bashing this idiot. I knew who he was when he didn’t blame himself for the “Florida defensive end clinic” in 2006, the following season he blamed his performance in that game on the O-Line calls that day (Doug Datish), and Bollman was right there with him! That is a large reason why I’ve got a problem with “Coach Boles” as well. Virus, virus, virus. We all know a yah-hoo like that tool. Saboteur indeed.

Jeeez Boone. That’s some pretty bad timing there dude. NFL scouts sort of notice these things.

i had a class with Boone.

He asked the professor if reading the assigned book for a paper was mandatory. The paper was basically a response to the book. Ugh…
