1) I'm not sure how this is embarrassing for GT or even TStan. Contract disputes happen all the time. They are boring, expected and normal in society and sports world. What could be the criticism of Kirby if this happened to him? So until another shoe drops, I don't see the issue. If there is some bad reason that he can't pay then that could be embarrassing.
2) The Pastner stuff was embarrassing from day one because it at a minimum showed bad judgement on his part. The guy was clearly a scum bag and awful person so we had to worry about how much of his dirt Pastner was involved in or knew about or how much happened at Tech but there was a time there when it looked like all the blame was going to end up on the crazy guy until our 2 players took that trip to his house. That sealed the deal that it would always be a black mark on Pastner and GT.
3) I have no idea why GT fans rush to get embarrassed by stuff that happens everywhere that don't embarrass other fan bases. It is a weird tic. 99 out of 100 programs would have supported D-Rad through his issue and not basically ran him out of town.
4) If you care about having a successful football program, then you should be all in on TStan. Your faith and support in him should be blind and religious in nature (only half kidding). Being a Tech man, he will get more support from the Admin and boosters than most and will be allowed to do what is needed to have a good program.
5) So in summary: OSU is a dirty, broke-ass program that is trying to make our man look bad.
