REPORT FROM SATURDAY
Well, this one is not going to end well.
On Saturday night, during Ohio State’s game against Akron, Buckeye’s LB K’Vaughan Pope got into an argument with LBs coach Al Washington before walking off of the field.
From Letterman Row:
Once getting back to the sideline, a visibly upset Pope started walking down the sideline by himself and was heading back to the locker room on his own.
Eventually he was corralled by Buckeyes staffer C.J. Barnett in the south end zone, and Pope was guided back to the sideline. Once there, though, Pope took off his gloves and threw them into the stands and began removing his Ohio State jersey — which apparently caught the attention of coach Ryan Day. After another conversation with multiple staffers, Pope was then led to the locker room while the game was ongoing.
After he got off the field, Pope fired off a since-deleted tweet that is sure to get him in some trouble with his coaches.
Luckily, a photo of the tweet was captured for your viewing pleasure.
