This is a state that elected a comedian to be senator, some may say what a joke. This is a state that elected an out of work studio wrestler to be governor. My guess is if Rollo lived in Minnesota he could be governor or perhaps have the state changed to a kingdom with the full consent of the population. In any case many Ohioans fail to understand the Minnesotan and just react without giving the benefit of the doubt.

Please accept our apology.
Interestingly (or not) I'm much more Ohio than Minnesota. I just happen to live here now. Bengals fan. Reds fan. Knew I wanted to go to UD when I was 9 years old. I would love to move back to Ohio.

I agree with the notion that character is what you do when no one is looking. So yes - I can't speak to his character in detail. I'm going off the local coverage I have seen from him the last couple of years. The interviews he's done. He's stayed out of trouble. Seems like a good kid. And I love his leadership style on the court (I've watched several of his games).

I have a hard time when people on these boards feel the need to drag this kid through the mud when he had the audacity to change his mind when the circumstances at UD changed. I'm as disappointed as anyone that he changed his mind. Doesn't make him a bad person.
