John Cooper, former Ohio State football coach, was inducted into the college football hall of fame. He did some great things and not so great things (2-10-1 against Michigan). But I'm sure there is one that is making him scratch his head.
Derrick L. Foster, a defensive end recruit of Cooper's from 1988 to 1992, was arrested in Columbus, Ohio Wednesday night during a drug raid. Two police officers just happened to be shot during that drug raid. After hearing the news, Kirk Herbstreit felt like "he go hit in the stomach with a baseball bat".
Herbstreit and Foster are actual friends. They went to games together. Herbie had sent him a text message of his address to receive an invitation for Foster's June wedding. Not sure if that wedding is still going to happen. He's being charged with two counts of felonious assault and two counts of attempted murder.
The events happened here:
By the way, that's sort of near my apartment. How lovely.
It's a sad turn of events for the life of a former Buckeye. Herbie and Cooper can't believe that he could do anything like this. They knew him personally and don't want to think a friend of theirs is not the person they thought he was. Well, I guess you learn something new everyday.

Does not suprise me after all Cooper had thugs for players anyway. So after Claret and his circus enything else that a Ohio State player dose will not suprise me
UPDATE: Derrick L. Foster thought the drug raid was a robbery and that's why shooting occurred. http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/05/03/Foster.ART_ART_05-03-08_B1_DJA3NHL.html?sid=101
I know this guy personally and he is one of the kindest people I have met at Ohio State. There is DEFINETLY more to this story. He has no criminal history not even a traffice ticket. He also has a license to carrry. The police not only here but in other cities have gotten away with a lot. Just look at New York's police problem. This guy truly the deserves the right of innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, there were no drugs found at this house. This wreaks of a police misque.
Now I'm becoming obsessed with this story. I MUST know more.
