Burglary at the Hawk House

maybe they planned on scalping tickets to something, and they didnt have any tickets yet, so they came up with 3K to get tickets so they could resell and get like 6K for em.

all of your specualtion is biased towards your hate for Ohio State. Also why have I not heard about this except on here??? it must not be that big of a concern or ESPN and the NCAA would have been all over it top head line every day

Right. Maybe they DO carry that much cash around, I don't know. But from the sounds of that message board post that was on here, they're just a group of poor college students, that somehow wound up with $3,000 cash laying around their apartment.

I think the same could be said for you and your blind faith that Ohio State can do no wrong. If this was a Michigan player or a Toledo player that got robbed of $3,000 cash, what would YOU be saying about it? We all take different perspectives on things, and I don't remember me saying anything more than it was curious to have that much cash around, or even going as far as saying it's "fishy"... I certainly never called for anyone's head over this.

And for the record, I heard about this on at least five other sites before I ever saw it mentioned here.

I would wait and see if they did an investigation by either the school or the NCAA before I started making my opinions. Then I would wait and see the results before I hassle their fans. I know OSU has done wrong. Mostly the BBall team under a coach who is no longer here because of it. I believe the football team has not done any wrong. the troy smith incident was a booster, not any of the coaches or the university. That was one players screw up.

The Maurice clarret thing will make you a joke if you try to use that example. The NCAA found no harm, no penalties were given.

I believe that until proven otherwise. The only scandals going on since Tressel were here are all BBALL mens and womens. but they are over.

Hawk and Mangold seem like good down to earth kids with good heads on their shoulders who love football..love or hate OSU you have to give these two any benefit of the doubt. and I will. I would to a michigan player or a Toledo player too. I am not like most of you and want to accuse anyone from another team before I hear the whole story.

Believe me or not it doesnt matter you dont know me or how I am in person but that is what I really believe, no matter who it is.

I have to give people the benefit of the doubt every day. I deal with sex offenders every day. I cant just go around assuming things about them or what they did and who it was against. That could get me fired and a nice hefty law-suit against Petro and the rest of the Attorney general's office

Even if there was an investigation performed, I'm sure it would be biased and Hawk would be cleared of any wrongdoing in spite of evidence to the contrary. I'm absolutely certain that he got that money from a booster, though.

(hopefully the wink is a clear indication that I am kidding). I hate OSU, but I hope that wasn't booster money. Hawk and Mangold both seem to be classy guys and I will definitely give them both the benefit of the doubt. However, even the biggest Buckeye fans have to admit that it is a little odd that their star defensive player (and best overall player IMO) had that much cash laying around.

I would have found it odd had he been a freshman or sophomore just breaking out and didnt know how to handle himself didnt know how to say no to a booster. I doubt he would take money after Troy Smith incident.

I do have a question, do players get some kind of an allowance since they are not allowed to hold jobs during the season? Maybe he is just good at saving his money and no blowing it all as soon as he gets it. I know they are allowed to have summer jobs.

I'd be willing to bet my next paycheck the money is legit. I still havent even seen a article or even a mention of this in the media. If it was something illegal or scandalous I probably would have heard about it. I watch sportscenter every morning, I check news often at work,,even sports news. nthing. It is simply not that big of a deal. It just doesnt seem fishy to me. Clarrett seemed fishy, and the NCAA found nothing except Clarret lied about everything.

Hawk gets a living allowance, which is basically a substitute for room and board if he lived on campus. I believe the number I heard in the news down here was $900/month. I think his parents said that they cover his food, so AJ could save approximately $450/month.

$900 a month? I only make $800 as a graduate student. I know for a fact that grad students in Ohio make considerably less than I do, as well. Maybe we should all play football...

Does anyone know what the fair market value of a handshake is these days in Columbus? I'm just curious as to how many of these handshakes it takes to accumulate $3000.

Hehe. I knew there was a kernel of goodness in you somewhere, TR.

Who the heck is number 51 and why is he about to eat children? Could it be 'roid rage?

51 is the Air force Transfer Anthony Schlegal.

This weekend I heard about this finally on the radio. The money has come from hawks parents. Apparently he never spends money saves everything he gets. whoever the person was..i think it was a friend of his said how cheap he is. With the extreme lack of attention this has gotten from ESPN and the NCAA (absolutely no attention) I'd have to believe it. I think you numbskulls jump to conclusions. you really need to stop. it makes you look like Toledo or Michigan fans. We all know Toledo and Michogan are highly democratic which makes it all look even worse.

here is my idea for you all. Since BG has no post season and they are about to lose Jacobs I say you should sit back and relax at around 4:30 on January 2nd and watch the third best team in the country beat up Notre Dame. Theymay be the 2nd best team in the country. I still think that if USC had played any quality opponents they would have 3 losses this year. ND got screwed but everyoine else they played that had halftime leads blew it. If those teams were any good USC would be 8-3 04 9-3 I dont know how many games they played this year.

Go Texas. Go Buckeyes, f*** Toledo

You still didn't answer my question. Why is Mr. Schlegel about to eat children?

And you still obviously are pooping your pants. You really need to get over that.

They are called the "Bucks" for a reason.

Seeing that picture of Hawk, Carpenter, and Schlegel makes me wonder when the last time any of them saw the inside of a barber shop.

I don't know wether this situation is fishy or not. But Tekini, I believe you really should quit drinking out of the scarlet Kool-Aid and admit to yourself the exchange of money is still happening. It goes on at every major university where football is king. Just because Troy Smith got caught, that doesn't mean that there still aren't more boosters out there handing out money. I'm not saying that it's $3000 at a time. That would be pretty outrageous any time. If it is happening on Texas's campus, it is happening in Columbus too. I know how the recruiting wars really go in both football and basketball, and how the athletes are treated after they get there.
I'm not sure how you can tell us that if we bring up the whole Clarett situation, that we are a joke. The police nor the NCAA did not clear him of all charges. If my memory serves me correctly, didn't he get caught lying about the stuff that was stolen? The NCAA did nothing because he had already declared HIMSELF ineligible by trying to sue the NFL for the draft. And then the NCAA declared him ineligible for everything that he did. Again, it very well could be legitimate money that was stolen, and I am not casting judgement on the kid or his situation. I am only saying that this is still happening, I can guarantee it, and to not believe that it is happening at OSU is pretty nieve.
