Ohio State President Gordon Gee lies about Wisconsin-Ohio State game on Twitter

Ohio State and Wisconsin both sit at 5-2, tied for third in the Big Ten’s men’s hoops standings, one game behind Michigan and Indiana who are both 6-1.  So when the Buckeyes and Badgers face off in Columbus, needless to say, the Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center (otherwise known as “The Schott”) will be rocking.

Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee tweeted earlier Monday night that he was at the game with a bunch of excited Buckeyes…

The only problem – THE GAME IS ON TUESDAY.  Gee followed his douchey tweet up with an even douchier one…

There is lying among the Ohio State administrators?  Wow, shocking.  This wouldn’t be the first time (see Tressel, Jim & tattoos).

    What a wonderful post. I appreciate you taking the time to call out Gordon Gee on getting the days of the week mixed up. What a douchey thing to do!

    Truly, your commitment to investigative journalism is a shining example for all Wolverine fans to follow.

    I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I’m sure you’ll be writing for ESPN, CNN, or the BBC soon.

    Please continue to write these gripping stories.

      1. I’m not a Michigan fan.
      2. This is a sports blog, not CNN or ESPN or the BBC.
      3. Don’t be mad at me because your school’s president or his minions screwed up.

    So why is the tweet douchey? How can a harmless old man be douchey? You blog about an old man making a mistake from your mothers basement. Douche.

    You fit the definition of “internet troll”. Your “About the Author” section and quick responses to every comment only confirms it. Get a life and find a team to root for that is more than a side show to Ohio State.
