Saw on twitter that Cardale Jones tweeted #BigMistake... Heard it could be a reference to him not playing today although I had also heard he was hurt... Anyone know about this, is he unhappy already?

Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
I saw him warming up today and he looked fine. But with how Guiton played, I'm not surprised that he didn't see the field. Urban's competitive culture is way different than how Tress treated the spring game, so the coaching staffs were playing to win.
Regardless, he's a talented kid. He'll get his shot at the starting job in a few years.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
If he feels that way, he won't have to live with his mistake for very long.
Yeah I certainly wasn't expecting him to be making an impact anytime soon, but thought he could in the future. Hope it's something irrelevant, that's not a good sign for his future here if he really is upset already..
I honestly like JT Barrett better anyway. But I still hope Jones doesn't leave.
Don't know much about Barrett other than his film and rankings. I definitely love the pickup though but also find it interesting to see his varying ranks on different websites. 247 has him at #1 for dual threat quarterbacks and #37 in the nation overall. Then ESPN has him outside the top 150 and ranked 15th among dual threat QB's lol. I'd say i trust 247 more solely for the fact that ESPN seems to be the worst of them all
Really hope Cardale can keep it together. Urban said he was ill at the Wednesday presser, so I wasn't expecting to see him much today anyway. He just got in here, hope he can try to relax and just keep working. Urban will play the best players, so if he becomes one of those he'll see the field, period. Should not have to worry about anyone jumping him if they're not actually better than him.
Guys don's sleep on this kid. If given the chance he can be a beast!!! Cam Newton type measureables, just hope he gets a fair shot in the futre and not automatically overlooked for someone the current staff recruited.
I agree with SilverBullet this kid is the real deal. Hopefully this is all a big overreaction about the tweet because we need some QB depth and this kid has a bright future if he keeps his head on straight.
The guy just got to campus as a freshman and is writing shit like that..give me a break, pay your dues kid. The big mistake is you writing "bigmistake#"on twitter.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
He isn't playing till possibly 2015 anyway unless Braxton gets hurt in 2014.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Why do some of you take everything a person says to the heart. He said "bigmistake". It's a very broad comment which can apply to anything. How do you know he was talking about not playing? He could of been saying he had made a big mistake. A person in college tweets big mistake, and some of you are ready to crucify him.

Enough of this twitter stuff...if you dont want to compete and be a buckeye then leave...Cardale, if this is how you feel you are incredibly immature and should go to Purdue, or another low level program where youll get praises for being average...I really enjoy Urban's persona and this programs direction right now, especially with JT Barrett in (he is going to be a stud), I am not going to quote a Michigan man but I will take another approach: ' Those who stay, are men.'
Love'd seeing Miller today and the rest of the team and fanbase (81K with the weather, well done)...Go Bucks.

We all need to back off here. The kid could just be frustrated and didn't choose the best set of words. I'm sure whatever the situation is will be resolved shortly.

If you ain't a Silver Bullet, you're a target
I kinda like the fact that he is upset that he didn't get to take a shot. I want guys that want to get in the "battle" and take as shot or two. I want my 2nd/3rd/4th string guys to think that they are better then the 1st string which then causes them to go out and slug it out each and every practice trying to prove their worth. Just becasue he is not happy doenst mean he is ready to leave...might just light a fire in him to prove everyone wrong....
Remember Hyde did the same thing last year after a game and I couldn't be happier he is still on the team. Give Cardale a break.
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men
If I'm Urban, I'm disappointed in the tweet but excited that the kid is competitive and wants on the field.
WOW! Everyone writing the guy off over such a "broad" tweet ... he could've been referring to anything ... Here is a thought it could possibly not even be football related ... Guess some you want to see him leave so we can have another scholly freed up ...smh ...
Cardale is big, athletic, and has a strong arm. With the spread we need to be three deep at QB for injuries. I wish we could have seen him in the shoe but his highlight films are very strong.
What's really funny is Cardale could be referring to a bad bean dip he ate before or after the game. Yet people go into a mass hysteria without any facts.
Its sad, and I stand by my statements that the twitter/social media age is generally terrible for amateur athletics.
October 20th: National Kenneth Guiton Day
Cardale is a competitor and works hard. He was not allowed to compete and play.
If any of you are competitors and were not allowed to compete in what you do, you would be upset like Cardale.
I think they played the best players because they wanted to win.
Justin Siems competes and works hard, but he didn't get a crack in the game ahead of Braxton...your point is? Urban's made everything a competition. There are winners and there are losers.
he needs to turn his twitter acount off..
I'm pretty sure it's in reference to him saying something along the lines of "We don't come to Ohio State to go to class." That's what I saw on another message board and that woudl make sense
yeah that was in reference to the stupid tweet he made earlier thats gonna be all over sportscenter. Hope Urban lets Marotti teach this kid a lesson
guys look at the thread date...then use your heads and figure out that this was not related to what he said recently...someone pulled an old thread up as to not have 17 cardale jones thread topics...
^thanks. Now I feel like quite the dum-dum for not seeing the dates.
And he wonders why he's not playing....
Here it is boys:
http://deadspin.com/5949274/ohio-states-third+string-quarterback-aint-come-to-play-school
Meyer will have a word with this kid.
I pulled up an old thread...
Didn't Glenville pound Wayne in state championship. ? Braxton was Waynes qb and Cardale was Glenville's qb , Cardale outshined Braxton in the high school championship game. Braxton seems so elusive, Cardale has not been seen by myself ever. Do not think he started for Fork Union. Braxton & Kenny G are the qb's, lets not sell Cardale yet. I thought he was running scout team qb position, thought I saw his weight has increased ? I wish the best for Cardale and his future as an Ohio state student/athelete. Sorry ODEEZ, I try to keep up on Ohio high school football but do not have the best memory. I thought they, Braxton and Cardale played against each other in highschool and Cardale's team won.
Oh boy, this thread got resurrected. A twitter ban aint looking so bad right about now.
"if irony were made of strawberries, we' d all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now."
Saw the kid play in high school several times. Was there when his team lost in the state championship game. Has alot of God given talent but I didn't see a big time quarterback. He also isn't agile enough to run the current offense so my guess is he'll be leaving soon;l
jerryt-go bucks
LOL, you know its sad when a PSU alum sends me the link to what cardale said and tries to make fun of OSU...good stuff right there
Braxton n wayne lost to st eds in the st title game not glenville gville has never won it n braxton had a monster game in thr title game. Please get ur facts straihjt agl

Cardale doesn't seem to have his hat on straight. If he doesn't buck up he won't have the grades to play football. Just suck it up...
He needs cut with miller guyton and Barrett on the roster
mark may wins douchebag of the year... again
Give me your tuition dollars Jones, I'll put them to good use to fund my graduate school education next year....
Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
What a moron...he just signed his transfer papers as far as I'm concerned (and I bet OSU's coaches feel the same too).
"There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you."

I remember when this kid signed I was turbo excited. Hope this doesn't go the way I have a feeling it's gonna go, but it's not good when the only time you make the "papers" is when you tweet something stupid.
You guys are making way too big of a deal about this. He won't play the rest of the year, but this tweet doesn't impact that at all. He wouldn't have played anyways, and if he gets good enough grades and stops making stupid tweets he will be fine by his JUNIOR YEAR when Braxton leaves. Urban wont be holding this against him in 2 and half years as long as he keeps his head on straight and stays out of trouble. This incident is less of a problem than Stoney an Mewhort, but he's a backup so lets kick him off for not liking school.
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
Youth+cellular device+twitter account=WTF did he say? Youngster's make mistakes and I'm sure he already regrets this one. Hope he develops into the player we all think that he is, and learns to be more discreet with his tweets
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
This is what Cardale meant to say.
He's double majoring and has a 3.6 GPA according to him, FYI.
Worst case scenario he transfers to North Carolina and all his dreams come true.
How in the hell does this tweet make ESPNs college football's main page headlines? The 3rd string QB??? REALLY?!?!
His tweet even made the Huffington Post http://t.co/LQbwhQjv
A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men
Is it bad that I don't really care about what he said? Most college students don't like school, and I don't blame him for venting about it on a Twitter account. Not to mention his tweets were protected. If any other college kid had said it, it would just have been SSDD. Sure, as an athlete you have to be smart about what you say, but let us not forget he's a student (of "student-athlete) first, and as a student, I can vouch for most college kids that hate school too. Sure he should've kept it to himself, but I don't blame him.
I do hope Homage makes a "We ain't come here to play school!" t-shirt.
Wow...pretty obsessed folks over a 3rd string qb's twitter making national news..
Dumb mistake by a young kid not wanting to go to class, like that's never happened before. Just ban him from twitter for a while, and let him learn..
Just ESPiN doing what they do GA. More of the same.
@GABuckeye: Jones's tweet makes the news because he verified what most people already think about college football "student-athletes," i.e., that they are athletes who really don't give a crap about being students. His tweet will now be Exhibit A for lots of different arguments.
Real fans stay for Carmen.
Didn't I read his twitter account has been shut down?
