Knapp's cred is shot. Seriously unbelievable? Knapp's version was seriously unbelievable. Did you think for one minute Bo would not piss in his nest on his way out after having done it so many times while sitting in it. If I was Tressel I would fire him pronto. What parent would want their kid mentored by this clown? Bad egg, man. Bad egg!
Woah, simmer down, man. You might be the only person who took that post as a knapp saying, "I claim to know what went on and this is what went on."
Did I think for a minute?...well, in a lot of ways, this doesn't surprise me. It doesn't surprise any of us. It's so fitting, isn't it?
But I did think Bo would say exactly the type of stuff knapp posted for example purposes, because for all my criticisms I thought he was a good man who would put his players first above all, and also a man resigned to his fate. And also a man smart enough to realize that the best vindication would be taking the high road and moving on.
As the weeks went by and Bo bothered to call Youngstown State speculation complete falsehood (heh), but didn't bother to release your standard PC "thank you for the opportunity here and thank you to all the Nebraska fans for our time here, etc, etc", sure, it got to be something I thought Bo deserved a little criticism for. But a wild, off-the-rails, insanely bad rant as his "this is for you guys" moment to his own team? I think a lot of us thought that particular rumor was too crazy to be true until it actually dropped.
