If you missed the news on Monday, Ohio State fans showed up in Columbus to issue their support of their embattled coach, Urban Meyer. We described it as a “depressing College GameDay” but in reality, it was even worse than that.

The Ohio State fans in attendance wanted to paint Meyer as the victim, when Courtney Smith is of course the only real victim in this saga. Not only was it a bad look for the Buckeye fans, much of their rally was ill-informed and misguided — as you’d expect.

They called out ESPN for company’s “fake news” reporting when ESPN was four hours late to reporting Brett McMurphy’s investigative piece that broke the story. One fan had a “Me Too!” sign that claimed he too supported Meyer (facepalm). One fan accused ESPN of abuse and not Ohio State and potentially the worst of all was Ezekiel Elliott’s father, Stacy Elliott, showed up as a representative for some reason.

Given his son’s recent NFL suspension for domestic violence, it was a terrible look for all involved.

During his Tuesday guest appearance on ESPN show Outside the Lines, Paul Finebaum was asked to share his thoughts on what was currently going on in Columbus. To no surprise, Finebaum has very little faith in Ohio State’s investigation process into the matter, which has already announced specifics regarding when it would come to its conclusion.

“The university appointed this so-called ‘Blue Ribbon Commission’ which includes three trustees, which concerns me and should concern anyone, but what else have they done? That is the question I have,” Finebaum said on Outside the Lines. “It seems to me this university is just hoping they can get past this and make sure their coach Urban Meyer is on the field for the first game. That’s the look I see from Ohio State and it’s shocking compared to what we have seen and what you have reported countless times at Michigan State and other universities. These universities continue to make the same mistakes, over and over.”

Finebaum went on to discusses Stacy Elliott’s odd appearance at the rally.

“The people that show up to events like this don’t care about what the best look is,” the SEC Network host said. “They have blind loyalty… but that’s what we saw last night. We saw fans and parents of former players who don’t care about the facts, they don’t care about anything other than preserving the football program.”

“We’ve sat here many times talking about these issues but they continue to repeat themselves and that is one of the underlining stories of all this and Ohio State you would have expected more from them, you would have expected them to at least attempt to do the right thing and I’ve yet to see that.”

Finally, Finebaum was asked to close on his thoughts on what Meyer’s fate would be in Columbus. While noting things can change at any moment, Finebaum offered up this comment on the fact that it appears Meyer’s job will be safe and that Ohio State will give him a suspension but allow him to continue as coach of the program.

“It seems that way but we can predict and be wrong every day but I see no inclination from this university to get rid of Urban Meyer as we speak today,” he concluded.
