Can he take the test again?

I would also make sure that Coach Rod knows who these clowns are, and maybe their ’secret special insider’ status can be revoked. The comments about Grady were just as bad. If they didn’t have access, this tidbit would be where it belongs, locked up inside the program.

Comparing not using spell check to the complete destruction of the English language is laughable. If my 7th grader wrote like that, he would be getting extra help. And these guys, are far as I am concerned, may as well be on the Scout payroll. So the guy that likes to brag about integrity can bite me. This was a piss poor thing to put out there. And then to post it on Scout’s free board to help drive your blog’s counter should be enough to let everyone know what Scout is all about.

Typographical errors are not an indication of a lack of intelligence.

…and I’d spellcheck your article before tooling on anyone else about how smart they are.

Eh. I have to agree to disagree. I know if some OSU blog dug up something like this on an OSU player it would be in MGoLiscious, we would all have a good laugh and that would be that. I doubt you would call them idiots because they publiched private information. That is all I am commenting on it. I really don’t care and it is a non story IMO.

If they were pulling up dirt about Ohio State players, I would ignore them like I always do.

Well, we know about a Michigan kid because duh, we are reading Michigan blogs. For me, it has to do with the principle of the thing. First off, they don’t have the guts to stand behind their rumors. They couch all of this in a bunch of weasel words. And why? Because it is illegal to release the information without permission except to a few people in a few instances:

* School officials with legitimate educational interest;

* Other schools to which a student is transferring;

* Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;

* Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;

* Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;

* Accrediting organizations;

* To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;

* Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and

State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.

Note that illiterate bricklayers from Tiffin, Ohio, to allude to on their blog are not on the list.

Regardless of the school to which the kid committed, I would certainly hope that we (as fans) would feel the same way about the purported release of confidential academic records.

As for GBMW, I still do have them on my blog reader, although I have moved them far down the list and haven’t actually read it in a while. As stated, the writing is atrocious and, while I at first appreciated their apparent insider insight into (in, in, in!) the program, I do question the voracity (haha) of the content.

Obvs I could give a shit about GBMW, but when does it cross the line from investigative journalism to “they are idiots”?? Is it when they dig up something unflattering about a UM kid?

I only write this because if they had dug up something about an OSU player not passing this test I think we all would have LOZROFL’d and been done with it. It feels like a double standard.
