Tattoogate + Transfer Portal, Coach Tressel ft. Solomon Thomas | Buckeye Focused 6

07-10-2022 • 1 hora 16 minutos

Tattoogate at Ohio State was a mission to take down the Buckeye football program. And in the aftermath of 2011, it seemed possible. But as it turns out, the Buckeye program is widely considered to be one of the top college football programs in the entire country–and former players, including those in this episode, are a big part of that.

Tattoogate featured the Tattoo 5. It sounds like a band, but it’s filled with misinformation, media clickbait, and basically an attack on college football players and their head coach, Jim Tressel. We aren’t here to decipher all that went down (yet), but we are here to talk to one of the members of The Tattoo 5, Solomon Thomas — and hear stories on Tattoogate and more.

In this episode with Solomon Thomas, we discuss way more than the Tattoogate scandal. We talk homecoming, redshirting, Jim Tressel, NIL, transfer portal, the 2007 College Football National Championship in New Orleans vs LSU, and the 2011 Sugar Bowl vs Arkansas where Solomon Thomas had the game-clinching interception. And of course, we talk about Tattoogate. At the end of the conversation, we discuss Ohio State at Michigan State and re-cap the “fake punt” vs Rutgers, running the ball, heated coaches, blowout games, and protecting players.
