Tressel won't suspend starter
Third-string quarterback Antonio Henton missed seven games last season while waiting for his case to play out following an arrest for soliciting a prostitute. Defensive tackle Doug Worthington, a major contributor on the defensive line, will play against Youngstown State on Saturday following a July DUI arrest, though his case was continued Monday and his pretrial hearing won't occur until Oct. 1. The athletic department policy at No. 1 Georgia, for instance, calls for a suspension for 10 percent of the season for first-time alcohol offenses. Under Ohio State's athletic department policy, mandatory two-game suspensions for drug and alcohol violations occur only with second offenses. (Defensive backs Donald Washington and Jamario O'Neal are serving two-game suspensions for unspecified violations of team rules.) The decisions in the cases of Worthington and Henton (a criminal offense not related to alcohol) were left to coach Jim Tressel, and different players and different circumstances led to different disciplines. This despite the fact that a DUI might be viewed as a potentially more dangerous offense than solicitation.

goes to prove what morons many sucknut fans are when they said that RR would be lenient on Kevin Grady while Tre$$el would punish his player. Looks like those certain idiot OSU fans are living up to their reputation as the biggest losers in football.
We also realize what family values really means at OSU. It's a family that values criminal behavior.

They have been hush hush about this from the start. I doubt very serioulsy he's innocent.
Henton did that last year and is not with the team anymore, I dont know why he is even being talked about.
Tressell made a joke that he'll play on Saturday, but wont be given his keys back just yet.

Lol, yeah I agree with the comment that he should get kicked off the team for trying to pick up a hooker... Not because it is illegal, but because it is pathetic. How ridiculous, of COURSE they're keeping it hush hush. That is pretty embarrassing.

To JHova: yes, Henton is now playing for GA Southern.
The other kid should get at least a one game suspension for the DUI.....xxx84xxxx, do the Buckeyes really need him that badly for a game against Youngstown St?

No I doubt very much they need him for YSU. He is good but he's not great, yet. they have a few capable DT's the ycan throw in there. I think they should save face and suspend him for the first two...

I kinda figured the Buckeyes could get through that game without him.....I agree: they should suspend him.
As for Henton, he'll have to go to Savannah to pick up hookers.....there aren't any in Statesboro GA. :-)
