So it looks like Urban Meyer may have a taken a page from Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino. When the Cardinals were making a run for the NCAA title, Pitino promised his players he would get a tattoo if they won it all. Well, they did, so Pitino made good on his word. It appears Urban made a similar promise to his players, too.
“He promised us after we beat [Alabama] in the locker room that if we won the next one, he’d get a tattoo,” tight end Jeff Heuerman said last night. “I’ll supervise it. Trust me. I’m going to be right next to him. The first thing that went through my head is, ‘Coach Meyer’s getting a tattoo.'”
Meyer said that the Ohio State ‘O’ is a possible option but hasn’t said where he intends to put it. We can only wait and see. Meanwhile, Meyer’s players are holding him accountable by using his own words on him.
“We have core values, and honesty is one of them, so he better not be lying,” defensive end Joey Bosa told USA Today Sports. “I’ll be here bugging him about it until he gets it,” Bosa said. “I’ll go with him (to get it). I’ve already got my Block O.”
