The headline immediately caught my eye as I scrolled through ESPN.com's New Year's Day college football stories. It read, "Meyer Could Wind Up at Ohio State," or something to that effect, and it referenced the possibility of Urban Meyer, who coached his final game at Florida on January 1st, coaching the Buckeyes in the near or distant future.
I then proceeded to forget the article, but it resurfaced in my mind the moment this Jim Tressel report appeared on the scene. And as the Tressel debacle becomes exactly that with every passing minute, "Meyer to Columbus" is making more and more sense.
Allow me the privilege to explain why. Meyer is a native of Ohio and he previously headed the Bowling Green football program. If OSU were able to lure Meyer out of his shocking retirement, it has the potential to be a perfect fit.
However, Tressel is, as of now, only facing a 2-game suspension, but the NCAA is yet to issue its own ruling. Tress, though, is beginning to look like a liar, a cheater, and a hypocrite, which may force Ohio State's hand.
In conclusion, I offer a warning to Buckeye fans: Tressel could still be innocent simply because we do not know the entire story, but, if he is guilty and the NCAA does drop the proverbial hammer, Meyer might be headed north.
