This was one season of Urban Meyer's reign of horror at Florida.

One fucking season.

Some of just the highlights? I present to you...

Janoris Jenkins - had a dead body found in his house when police came for one of his umpteenth arrests.

Zach Smith (Assistant Coach) - Urban Meyer covered up his violent domestic abuse.

Cam Newton - Felony counts of burglary, larceny and obstruction of justice.

Racist-ass Riley Cooper

The Pouncey Twins - multiple violent criminal arrests and led the #FreeHernandez movement by New England Patriots fans to get this next gem released.

Aaron Hernandez - Known violent gang member whose aggravated assault charges dropped by Gainesville PD when Urban Meyer called to "vouch for" Hernandez. Became part of FBI investigation, hanging around south Boston crackhouses, serial killer who (as I predicted!) died of "suicide" in prison, which had nothing to do with how much he knew about "the Patriot Way" and other criminal coverup by Urban Meyer.

And who were they led by to a natty? A Bible-thumping virgin named Tim Tebow.

Ohio State fans' reaction to all of these facts?

posts i dont even care GIF


"Hammer's obsessed" - their clever response.
 
An abridged list of criminals, their arrests and punishment, which was almost always "handled internally" by Urban Meyer :rolleyes2:

CHRIS RAINEY
Charge: Rainey was arrested on a charge of aggravated stalking, a felony, on Sept. 14.
Outcome: Pending an investigation by the state attorney's office.
Team punishment: On Tuesday, coach Urban Meyer said, "He's not with the team. … It's just further evaluation as we go. The immediacy is he's not with the team."
SOLOMON PATTON
Charge: In August, the freshman was charged with misdemeanor possession of alcohol by a person under 21.
Outcome: Patton got a deferred prosecution, meaning he has four months from the day he signed it (Aug. 19) to pay $150 or do 10 hours of community service.

MATT ELAM

Outcome: Hammond's case was resolved Tuesday, with probation reinstated for 12 months.
Team punishment: Hammond was suspended from all activities in June and his scholarship was revoked. He is paying his tuition at least until the spring and has not appeared in a game yet this season.

Team punishment: Handled internally and did not miss any games, according sports information director Steve McClain.
MARQUIS HANNAH
Charge: Felony burglary of an occupied dwelling unarmed and misdemeanor battery in late April 2009 for allegedly forcing his way into a Gainesville apartment and punching a man in the face.
Outcome: Case was dismissed due to lack of evidence, according to lawyer Huntley Johnson.
Team punishment: Hannah, a walk-on, was dismissed from the team.
CARL JOHNSON
Charge: Misdemeanor violation of a sexual restraining order in February 2009 after getting on the same campus bus as an ex-girlfriend. The woman previously filed a petition claiming Johnson date-raped her on three occasions.
Outcome: All charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence.
Team punishment: Johnson never missed any time. Coach Urban Meyer said Johnson would remain on the team as long as the investigation checked out.
 
have to put this in two posts because there's a 10000 character limit :L

RILEY COOPER
Charge: Misdemeanor resisting an officer and failure comply with a police or fire department in February 2009. Campus police cited Cooper for not getting out of the way of a moving car upon police's orders, according to Johnson.
Outcome: The case was dismissed.
Team punishment: Cooper played baseball during the spring of 2009, and it's unknown whether Meyer sought out punishment.
CAM NEWTON
Charge: Felony counts of burglary, larceny and obstruction of justice in November after allegedly stealing a laptop from a UF student and throwing it out his dormitory window upon police suspicion.
Outcome: Newton received pre-trial deferment – common for a first-time offender – and served community service and probation time.
Team punishment: Meyer suspended Newton for the rest of the 2008 season. Newton transferred to Blinn (Texas) Junior College and now is the starting quarterback at Auburn.
JACQUES RICKERSON
Charge #1: Misdemeanor possession of marijuana in February 2007.
Outcome: Charges were dropped without legal ramifications.
Charge #2: Felony domestic violence by strangulation and felony obstruction of justice after a November 2008 altercation with a girlfriend.
Outcome: Charges were reduced to misdemeanor status, then the Alachua County courts gave him two years probation without proceeding with the charges.
Team punishments: Rickerson was suspended for the 2007 season opener for the marijuana charge, then kicked off the team the morning of the domestic violence incident.
TORREY DAVIS
Charge: Misdemeanor knowingly driving with a suspended license on numerous occasions, including once in July 2008 and another in March 2009 – two weeks after he left the team – that placed him in jail.
Outcome: The July case was closed.
Team punishment: Davis was always in Meyer's doghouse and hardly allowed to practice or play with the team for various academic and disciplinary reasons, so it's safe to say Meyer suspended Davis for his crimes.
JAMAR HORNSBY
Charge #1: Cited for misdemeanor property damage and criminal mischief in April 2007 for allegedly throwing a man onto the hood of a car during a fight.
Outcome: Hornsby received deferred prosecution and the charge was later dismissed.

Outcome: Charges were reduced to misdemeanors and Hornsby took a plea deal – probation and community service.
Team punishments: No punishment for first offense, kicked off the team for second offense. Hornsby served a previous five-game suspension, but it wasn't for the first misdemeanor – it was for selling his complimentary tickets.
JERMAINE CUNNINGHAM
Charge: Misdemeanor battery in December 2007 for an altercation with a clerk at Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shop in Gainesville. Cunningham allegedly threw paper cups at the clerk.

Outcome: The charge was dropped despite serving probation for his original arrest.
Charge #3: One count of battery and one count of assault for an altercation at an apartment complex in October 2008.
Outcome: The charges were dismissed, according to Johnson

JOHN CURTIS
Charge: Misdemeanor violation of probation in May 2007 after failing to serve five hours of community service stemming from an alcohol citation.
Outcome: Curtis complied with the violation, served probation and the case was dismissed.
Team punishment: Curtis was in Meyer's doghouse, but he was also injured, so it was difficult to tell why he was out.
BRANDON JAMES
Charge: Purchasing marijuana — a felony — along with misdemeanor possession of marijuana in June 2007.
Outcome: The felony charge was dropped due to a minuscule amount (8 grams); James served probation and community service stemming from the misdemeanor charge.

AVERY ATKINS
Charge: Misdemeanor domestic battery in July 2006 after an altercation in Daytona Beach with the mother of his child. The initial investigation took place in June 2006 with Atkins facing accusations of felony false imprisonment along with the battery charge.

Outcome: Grace completed a deferred prosecution program including 7.5 hours of community service.
Team punishment: Meyer suspended Grace indefinitely after the October arrest. Grace later transferred to Georgia Southern.
 
I'm researching how many players committed suicide but only had time this morning for the arrests and coverups.

Can someone tackle that for us? @Wamu maybe?
 
I really wish there was some way I could find that post of mine on tHoop where I rightly predicted that Aaron Hernandez would be found swinging on a sheet in prison.
 
The icing on the cake for you would be if Tom Terrific was part of that team.

Holy shit you really are one very fucked up person to continue to make jokes about a kid that took his own life. You ain't right.
 
How has there not been a ESPN 30 for 30 on this team? Or would it be 40 for 40 in this case?

I've never one time joked about it.

That's your tired old MO. "Hammer's a terrible person" every time we talk about Urban Meyer. :bored:

And while I have you, how much responsibility do you assign to Urban Meyer for all of this? Is it all his fault? None of it? What is your opinion?
 
If this is the game thread, you forgot time and channel.

Urban Meyer is employed by ESPN and a full documentary would likely end his career.

I'm guessing multiple law enforcement agencies as well as high-placed individuals would get it stopped even if ESPN would touch something so explosive.
 
Must be a slow morning on the beach...copy pasta from the graveyard?

Why no independent investigative journalist has produced a hard-hitting documentary, I'll never understand. Maybe he did, showed it to Urban Meyer and he bought the tapes?
 
Don't forget about Cam's fashion sense. It's his worst offense

99% of your nonstop anti Ohio State stuff is funny. But this isn't the first time (or the last) you've gone outta your way to make fun of Kosta Karageorge. The kid had CTE. And that's too young to be dealing with something like that. Yet you think him taking his life is a laugh riot.

Urban Meyer is employed by Fox. Are ESPN and Fox sister companies?
