This is true.

But a lot of angst has been spent about Coach Rob that was just bullshit from the beginning.

He has made the program a better one in his time. And he has done so like no other coach before him. The one knock is that he can’t do the x’s and o’s. That’s a major knock. But it doesn’t outweigh the good he’s done for OSU and the hoops program.

I wish I could say that he’s the man I support from here on out. But being Moses doesn’t get you to the promised land. I think he’s an administrator trying to be a coach. It just doesn’t work. But it doesn’t mean he should be drummed out.

Believe it or not, there is a right way and a wrong way to win and lose. While winning and losing are separate from the right and wrong, the ways exist. But the baseline for success is set in a certain way. And money makes that way possible.

So don’t ever discount the job Coach Rob has done. What he’s done is to rebuild a program that has been neglected since the 80’s. People lost faith in the program and focused on their own well-being instead. And when the group starts whining about winning and losing without contributing, they become a joke. Coach Rob has taken the joke away from our program. But he can’t make us more without that one stud recruit. And by those measures he has failed.

For his whole tenure, so many have just made the argument for him leaving a joke in itself. Those people know who they are. And those people are stupid beyond belief for the reasons they themselves chose to type into words before they pressed enter. Their 20/20 review of his win-loss record does not make them less stupid. Picking on the guy who took it upon himself to fix that which was shat upon for years before he took over is just a loser’s boredom.

But there does come a time when recovery stops and healing begins. And people are so loathe to credit that part of their lives if they’re just stupid beings.

I’ll go deep here. Remember when the tape of Mike Parker eating a napkin came out. I said he would one day thank the kids who made the tape. Most enablers wanted to lynch the kids and forget that they were the victims of Parker’s actions. Most enablers wanted to put Parker in their pity bucket and feel self-righteous about beating up on the victims and enabling Mike.

Let’s ask Mike now how he feels about those kids. First of all, I think he was grateful for their video. I think he was suffering before it, and he only found help after. But I think that’s because he was only hanging out with the same self-righteous crappers who wanted to continue enabling him afterward. Those kids saved his life. The self-righteous morons who wanted the kids’ heads on a platter were enablers.

And let’s face it. That napkin eating video was just plain funny.

Some of the best comedy ever was borne of the suffering of some of the most brilliant minds to walk the earth. Why should eating a napkin be any different?

I just don’t get some you all sometimes. You all whine about the right things. You all whine about the wrong things. You all whine about this and that.

But you all are not concise and consistent.

Be that dammit!
