As I understand it, Trev if the "face" to the three voices. Prior, he choose to shape the conversation as "there are only 1-2 games to make an evaluation". Okay, fine. That is not true. I would call it a "white-lie" at best. But okay, I'll play the game. It's more than obvious that rather than express concern or show a lack of support for Frost [it's like when they gave him the two-year extension ... showing "support" to prop up his failings] during the season ... then Trev choose to shape the words the way he did. That's all find and good.
So, since, he has been given the leeway ... and we defer all judgment/evaluation until after the season. Okay, good. That's fine. I am with and it sounds like they will make a "statement". They will do so to "float" what they want. This is all for their advantage. They could just let it play out ... as you suggest. But they won't because their is a view they wish to push [as I see it].
The only sane thing for me [as one who feels emotionally abused] is to give my own "kickback" toward the whole BS of it all. In fact, there is a part of my thinking that sees that Remember The Titans scene where the defensive coach says, "Run it up Herman! Leave No Doubt!!" For me, it feels like I'm wanting and cheering for OSU in that. This is all because of the "way" the words are being shaped to support their [the three voices] view.
It would be nice to just not care. It all just sucks and has been a big disappointment.
