Like you said, they don't sound 'poor' at all. Wow..if someone had stolen my stuff while in college, they'd have gotten about $20 in cash (only on Friday afternoon and only if I'd been to the ATM that week,) used/soiled clothes, a used baseball glove, Timex digital watch worth $10 and some Cheetos. But hey, that was way back in the 80's. With inflation, and uh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joking, dude. We don't have the room for everybody out here anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate for it to be true, 'cause I respect Hawk on the field, but it wouldn't surprise me either. Of course, just because you have $6k worth of crap in your dorm room doesn't mean you were given it by a booster. OSU doesn't exactly have a good track record in that arena, though. If they investigate and and hold him out of the ND game, I'd like to change my bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Oh wait, I know this one. Later on Hawk will apologize and say that he exaggerated the amount of stuff stolen. The NCAA will investigate, suspend, blah, blah, blah... He'll end up drafted at the end of Round 3 instead of the first, blah, blah... Cut before the regular season, blah... What's that? Hawk's a white guy? Nevermind what I said then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I change my take. Hawk's folks are well-off, confirmed by one of the many Buckeye fans I work with and he HAS A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP. Go Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
