UPDATE: Holy news day. Is Willie Mobley transferring to UCLA? Yep.
We caught word of this earlier in the week, but didn't have anything firm to go off of, so we sat on it. Now, the the cat is out of the bag and news of Mike Adams' suspension is starting to get out.
The university isn't confirming anything at this point in time but the rumor we're hearing is that he's in trouble for something similar to what got him into trouble his freshman season. If you're still stumped, think Donald Washington.
The good news is that this explains the curious slide to 3rd string on the depth chart. Oh, that and any perceived lack of motivation. The bad news, of course, is that this is not his first offense and he's probably not in the position he thought he'd be in heading into his sophomore season -- nor will he be there anytime soon if he makes these types of things habitual.
We're trying to refrain from getting too soapboxy, because in our eyes, it's just something kids in college do (and have done for decades). But on the flip side, if you accept a football scholarship, you should understand that certain things are probably off limits for you.

also if you've been caught once and punished for doing something stupid, it's probably a good idea not to do that again
Fackin kids will never learn...I'm learning this about my 13 year old cousin. Stubborn idiots I tell ya.
Heh heh heh! Took the words out of my mouth with the lack of motivation! LOL
Pretty much wraps up his career at OSU, I really dont care. Hope he gets things figured out, but the team will be fine.
for every Pryor who lives up to and even surpasses the hype there is this guy who doesnt wanna work to be great and is all hype... shows you cant get overly excited about a highly regarded incoming recruit
Sion Cotton thinks Adams is jus' keepin it real.
Two words: Erik Haw
Source is telling me something might be involving a fight, but haven't had that verified
Alex Boone anyone? But wait, at least Boone started!
So, does this mean Jamaal Berry is suspended as well? Or, is his potential to contribute too high? Clear lack of family values at Ohio State under "Saint" Tressel.
"family values"....its all bout them TDs
sinc it hasn't been confirmed and we don't know what the real details are (i have now read weed and a fight), I think to pass judgement on Tressel is silly.
besides, Berry is 1st offense, and Adams is 2nd offense,,,hence harsher punishment.
When it rains, it doth pour.
Fuck it, we got LiC and that's all i care about for that game. Bring on the men of troy.
I thought Adams was tested and cleared when he got pulled over.
I'm innocent.....I'll battle my way back to the top of the depth chart once I get done smoking this wonderful doobie.
mobley was a great kid and teammate...but was always a tweener for his skillset and a thus a curious scholarship offer. and adams will be back, and will start games by the end of the season. he's not hanging his head, and is still working hard in practice. not a bad kid.
more importantly, how about beanie's two td's thus far?! BEASTMODE
LMAO!
Chas....you really a current Buckeye? Hope you are right about adams. What college or high school kid hasn't enjoyed a bit of mother nature. Unfortunately, he got caught. Now he must give up the herb for a few years to help the team. There will be plenty of time to party after college, man. Beanie will be a monster if he stays healthy. If he had played against SC, I think we would have had 14 at halftime, and it would have been a game. No worries. Let's get our revenge in two weeks. I think Pryor is going to be electrifying. Hell, he gave SC fits last year. Best of luck this season.
This is Adams' second offense since he's joined the program. His next offense will be a year's suspension. Berry's offense was before he even joined the program.
Adams is supposed to our next great left tackle. He's far more important to the program than Berry.
There is no double standard.
Mobley was a great kid and sad to see someone compared to kenny pete go but this does open another scholly for 2010
OT, but Beanie looked MUCH trimmer than he ever did at OSU....looked quick, but I hope he doesn't lose his stiff-arm....also loved how he flips the ball to the ref after his TD....you can tell he was coached by Jim Tressel
Highlights frmo the AZ game last night... Beanie looks FAST, hope he stays healthy!

He is suspeneded by both the Navy AND USC.
I Love Beanie and he will always be a Buckeye, I hope he has a healthy successful career.
Now....Let's focus on the 09 Buckeyes. 7 days. I can't wait
Go Buckeyes!!!
Tressel has driven off another player with his clear lack of family values. Player arrests, transfers, players leaving early for the NFL... The "proud" buckeye alumni won't stand for this!
He wasn't driven off. He wasn't going to start. He pulled a Taj Boyd-Had a better chance to start somewhere else and wasn't buried in the depth chart. That's a testament to The Depth of talent we have at THE Ohio State University!
don't feed the trolls. they're just looking for attention. ignore them and they will go away.
you are funny
OT again...covering the St. Thomas Aquinas game vs. Upper Arlington at Ohio Stadium today at noon (ESPN)...watch on tv some great prospects at STA including Lamarcus Joyner, Brandon Linder, Cody Riggs, Keion Payne, Gio Bernard and others...live Tweeting and coverage from game--follow alex11w on twitter...anything anybody wants me to look out for
Good point.
Good point
I sent Jason an e-mail on this, but I was at a soccer coaches meeting for my 8 year old's team and the strength and conditioning coach (!) who was selling his program, stated that Florida was the best because of the culture and and they wanted it more, so they lifted weights more! Awesome!
OT, but I watched Jordan Hicks last night, he is one of the fastes LB's Ive ever seen, could probably play RB, he had a beautiful play where he rushed the QB and right before he got the sack the QB threw the ball, Jordan deflected the pass into the air and intercepted it, all in one motion, he would of had the TD but couldnt regain his balance.
I have a feeling he is a once in an era player, losing him would be a major disappointment.
I also watched Braxton Miller in the second game returning from an injury that kept him sidelined for the majority of last season. His speed and athleticism are unmatched, I wouldnt say he has the best arm Ive ever seen, but his ability to throw on the run is remarkable, he also has a knack for finding the open receiver and staying poised in the pocket, when he is in it. He will also be a huge get and I have a feeling he will be a Buckeye.
For what its worth, his coach is a really good one, he also coached Steve Bellisari in high school who may not of had the best OSU career, but was a HS phenom. But his coach says Braxton is the best player he's ever had, thats saying something.
It was rather impressive...

Hicks would fit in nicely at OSU. I would think we have to be in good shape to get him. OSU puts LBs in the nfl like no other.
i was just thinking that too. That guy had some potential but decided to roll it up and smoke it instead.
At least he gets suspended in our program for doing something stupid. Carroll's boys have raped women (Sanchez), and have started racist facebook groups, oh, and just this summer 2 guys were arrested for drunken debauchery at the Jersey shore.
Did any of these incidents result in a suspension? No.
I read an article about what HS recruits use to determine where they will play. #1 was chance of going to NFL and #2 was to be 200 miles from home. Mobley's family is now in LA. Dwayne Jarrett is from Piscataway NJ and had a very tough time when he first went to LA to play for USC. Malcolm Jenkins, also from Piscataway, was about 400 miles + change from Cols. His parents drove or flew to every home game. Being 2000k away from home, no money to fly back and getting used to school and playing is really tough. I am sure that Mobley's decision is to be close to his family and has zero to do with the perceived lack of "family values" the UM fan insists exists.
That Taj Boyd situation still has me steamed...
Halftime Stats of Notable Players:
Joyner--1 carry 9 yards, 1 rec 4 yards
G. Bernard- 12 carries 119 yards 2 TD
Payne- 1 INT
Wow... AZ really sucks ass! (hahaha) Beanie looking good, like we knew he would.
lol
Ohio State - USC preview
GET HYPED!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
I heard Ty Williams is a Buckeye - I love this pick up!
Alex..... What was the stadium like for the game today? Did Joyner hear any love from C-Bus?
I just put up a post....ALOT of UA fans, not many Aquinas....good crowd of neutral fans but hard to say how many.....Joyner said post-game he does love Columbus...didn't get to catch up with Linder as they sent him to the locker room to undress early so he just went right to the bus...Joyner VERY excited to come back for the USC game and says FSU, us, and Florida are his top 3 and all pretty even....may visit UGA and USC too
Pryor may definitely live up to or surpass his hype, but it doesn't mean he doesn't smoke some pot every once in a while. Adams is just dumb for getting caught.
I liked the receiver for Aquinas, Dorsett. He looked nice on the td that was called back for a block in the back. Nice moves after the catch.
40 years ago UA beat my HS 89-0. True story
It would be the worst recruiting loss since KiJana Carter
yeah I believe he is a soph or junior and after the game Duron was telling reporters while standing with Dorsett: "he's gonna be coming to ohio state"...He was obviously joshing with him but I'm sure we will pursue him...It was actually Joyner who had the block in the back and from the field level where we were it seemed he got him in the shoulder....either way---what a block it was (or would've been)
I've been following Ty Williams since last year and the rumor is he may switch to tight end. This makes me so happy. We are going to have two speedy tight ends. This team is going to be sooo loaded with speedy talent.
Loved that Duron was down on the sideline, TV showed him standing right next to Joyner a few times. Gotta be spreading the Buckeye gospel.....
too bad this aint mike
