ONE father-son combo happens and is viewed as reasonable. THREE at one time is different. Kid/parents in the living room know there is little opportunity. BINGO. We're talking five years of multiple kids who are coaches’s kids, multiple playing spots, not a single position. This is a much more rare situation than the other examples given. There’s enough people in this thread saying it would give them pause that it probably has affected someone. Even if it only just “enters the mind” of a recruit or a recruit’s family it’s one more little potential thing to deal with that could tip the scale away from OSU when making the choice.

I coach my son's team, and it's hard. At least for me, I want to yell at my kid constantly for every mistake, but I don't, because I wouldn't yell at another kid for every mistake. So when I let something go, I wonder if the other kids see it as him getting a pass, even though I'd let them get away with the same thing some of the time. My son played the most minutes on his team last year. He's playing less now that I'm coaching, but is still a starter and playing a majority of the minutes. I've heard grumblings through the grapevine that other parents don't think their kids are playing enough. I doubt these problems go away when the kids get to college. I'd imagine that the Clippers dealt internally with nepotism issues when Austin Rivers was on the team. There's a lot of parents out there that think their kid gets the short end of the stick when it comes to playing time, and if you've got 25% of the team related to the coaching staff, it's easy to point to that to justify your feelings. As for Wayne saying they were in the NIT, I'm sure he believed it. Pulling a baseba1111, I know people who work in the athletic department that were saying before the final weekend of the regular season that three more wins would get us in. Regardless of what any of us think about the job he's doing, there's zero indication his job was on the line and all this talk about him trying to "buy time" is ridiculous. He knew he wasn't going anywhere after this season. I don't doubt there were people in the athletic department saying that 3 wins would put Beavs in NIT -- but that doesn't make it so. According to Wilky, Beavs should have made the NIT last year. Did they? No. What was athletic department saying last year. Did OSU pay Tinkle his NIT bonus last year because Beavs "should" have been in tournament? I'm guessing no. Every year there are teams that think they should have gotten into NCAA and NIT tourneys. Does their fan base count those tourney appearances as a portion of OSU's does it appears? I've said all along that WT has done enough to deserve coaching at OSU next year. I'm not sure depending on how next goes that he's done enough to deserve a second year after that, but I think he'll get one especially given the finances. But get over it people -- Beavers were not in NIT last year. They had their chance and lost 4 out of their last 5 and 5 of last 7. The excuses are just piling up -- no one wants to play with coaches' sons, year when Tres got hurt doesn't count, should have gotten into NIT last year so we're going to "count" it as so. Next year the excuse is likely to be that they lost Tres plus their shot blocker. I understand that some of these excuses have some merit, but at some point the excuses have to stop and the results on the court have to be the only thing considered.

"Empty shelves" is the best no brainer excuse ever. Yep there is absolutely no chance there are better coaches out there... and ZERO chance they'd come to OSU. Great defense... even better excuse. That is the stuff we have to look forward to next season or when ever it begins anew... excuses and comparisons to the past 30 years... OVER and OVER and OVER. PS- Tres was going to be a senior/gone for this upcoming recruiting class and look who OSU has landed so far?? Can't wait for the next big recruit that was waiting for the the sons to be gone.

How did rutabagas get such a bad name? Will turnips and parsnips be next? Not sure how rutabagas got their name other than to say my Dad absolutely hated them. Therefore, they were never allowed in our house when I was growing up. He did like liver though (which is NOT allowed in my house) I might like rutabagas.........may have to try them. Go Beavs!!

How did rutabagas get such a bad name? Will turnips and parsnips be next? A rutabaga is a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. The only real difference between a rutabaga and a turnip is that rutabagas are yellow and turnips are white. In several other English speaking locales, they are both called "turnips," but that is rare in America, where the two are usually called different names. An alternative name for a rutabaga is a Swedish turnip or a "swede." They were first identified as a new plant in Sweden in the 17th century, but the rutabaga may have originated earlier further East. Within 200 years, though, they were pretty much everywhere. In German, rutabagas and turnips are collectively called Steckrübe. (There is occasionally an indication that rutabagas are Swedish turnips, but this is rare.) Steckrübe are generally viewed as foods of last resort, like during the World Wars. In Germany, the Winter of 1916-1917 was referred to as the "Steckrübewinter" (in English, the "Turnip Winter"). There was a potato crop failure in Germany, so many people were forced to turn to Steckrübe fill in for potatoes. Prior to 1916, Steckrübe were normally reserved to feed pigs. The Germans fed them to American POWs, because no one else would eat them in Germany. This may be where the negative connotation comes from. You are imprisoned in Nazi Germany and, on top of it, you have to eat rutabagas 90% of the time. Parsnips used to be called pasnepes from Old French pasnaie. However, as it was anglicized, it became "parsnip," because parsnips were mistakenly believed to be a type of turnip.

How does a cabbage and turnip "do it"? I believe they cross-pollinate although I have never actually seen the deed done. I like ftd's answer better though. Don't get me started on beets and onions. Ever heard of a bunion?

Ever heard of a bunion? And that is why this forum is so important. Laughter, especially in times of doom, is the best medicine. TheGlove, can we get a veggie board going? I'm confident this motley crew will have daily funny posts.
