Related: About this forumOhio State's Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow violate NCAA recruiting rule.
Ohio State has reported itself to the NCAA for a recruiting violation, and Mr. Goody Two-Shoes is at the center of it.
It seems Urban Meyer -- who coached Tebow at Florida and now heads the Buckeyes -- was having lunch one day last March when he received a call from high school recruit Clifton Garrett, a linebacker from Illinois.
Here's the rest of the juicy details from Ohio State's self-report, via Cleveland.com:

"Upon receiving the call, Coach Meyer informed Garrett that he was on vacation and having lunch with friends and family, including Tim Tebow. Garrett asked Coach Meyer if he could wish Tebow good luck on the upcoming season. Coach Meyer handed the phone to Tebow and Garrett conversed with Tebow for approximately eight seconds. Coach Meyer stated that no recruiting conversation occurred, there was no intent to have Tebow recruit on behalf of Ohio State and he, in fact, did not recruit on behalf of Ohio State.
"Çoach Meyer reported that Garrett was not instructed to call by anyone from the Ohio State football staff and that neither he nor Tebow had any other communication with any other prospects during the lunch. Coach Meyer further indicated that Tebow has never spoken with any other prospective Ohio State student-athletes. Coach Meyer understands that the communication between Garrett and Tebow was an error on his part. However, he was adamant that it was a reflexive, courteous action rather than an intentional attempt to involve Tim Tebow in the recruiting process.

Dude! You are so fucking jealous, aren't you. I know you are still pissed that the Broncos coughed up their lunch at the Super Bowl, but Tim Tebow has no desire to talk to you after you threw him under the bus to take up a new love affair with Payless!!
Edited to add: Nice to see you changed your avatar again!! It is baseball season now!!

Especially the Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer parts.
Jimmy said he'll win a fishing trophy before Jerry wins a Super Bowl trophy.

Who in their right mind would try to use Tim Tebow as a recruitment tool?
