    Stu,
    So he has his straightman to blame? :lol: From my point of view, nothing to see here. He was appealing to the home crowd, I'm sure it happens all of the time. 8)

    You know it wasn't a written script. I'm just saying he took a bit of offense at the nature of the question and popped back.

    I agree...nothing to see here. The guy had to go because as smart as he is he has a terrible case of foot in mouth disease and it's so damn easy to offend folks these days.

    My favorite quote was from his first stint at OSU...when we tied Michigan and he said it was our greatest victory ever.

    Back in 2011 it came out that Gee actually keeps a list of dumb public statements that he's made...obviously it hasn't helped him think before he speaks.

    I just tried to point out that the guy has done very good if not great things at the schools he's been at and people who know him seem to think he's a quality guy.

    Take your last jab at me then I'm done here.
