EDSBS Takes a Look At The Program

[Sportsbuck]

Hilarious 3 part article on The Program. Some of my favorites:

As Mr. Hall and I pass the thirty minute mark, The Program continues to remind us that steroids will ruin your life by helping you become a starter on defense and making you impervious to pain. This scene was actually a shot for shot remake of home video showing Bill Romanowski celebrating a Scattergories, Jr. win over his nephew. Is smashing a window with your head for no reason something only an SEC player would do? No, but suffering no legal ramifications for it certainly is.

Let's imagine for a moment that one of Urban Meyer's daughters is attending Ohio State. Further imagine that Joe Bauserman has been granted an additional year of eligibility. (HI LUKE.) Now say that daughter is threatened with expulsion for helping Bauserman cheat on an exam. Would Meyer callously allow her to be thrown out of school without any protest?

The answer is Urban Meyer doesn't know what his children look like and certainly wouldn't allow them in his office in the first place.

Look, Bobby Collins, there's a lot that can be forgiven in this world. You can sleep with Coach's daughter behind his back. You can cheat on an exam and then show up to your academic hearing with no tie on because hey I gotsa be me. But you cannot throw a backbreaking interception deep in your own territory late in the first half. (In the unfilmed sequel to The Program, the Atlanta Falcons trade up in the fourth round of the 1994 NFL Draft to take Collins.) -- RHJ
