WB I recall that exchange about that odd string of lunchtime scores for Eric. I think you were spot on on calling him out, as another mostly daytime player it was easy to spot when held against his normal scores. On the amount of time he put in; holy S@#t, I earn about a million PP points a year and I think I play to much. Lewser I don't feel sorry for him. I was just saying it a sad situation with the two loves of you life being trivia and college football team, which are both by most measures pretty crappy loves.


I didn't mean for you to have that impression with my post, my bad. The last sentence is spot on.


No problem Hoss, just wanted to clear up that I am not a sympathizer for the guy. I wonder if any FGURU names have popped up in OH yet?

Well it looks like Buzztime has done the right thing and they are in the process of removing all of Eric's accounts except for two. Doubt this will be the end of it. I have a feeling some of the trivia places around Ashland will tell him to find a new place to play Buzztime. I don't see BW3 or any other chain wanting trouble with him around. Too many things can go wrong with OSU fans.

I thought it was kind of funny how he went out of his way to point the finger at GOOGIE for cheating and then got outraged when someone called him out.

In the latest case I'd say he is most guilty of violating his probation and of being a fat nerd. He felt so much need to belong to something that he couldn't resist posting pictures of himself with these players when he had to know he wasn't even supposed to be on Twitter or Facebook. It was as close to fame(he thought) he could get and had to make sure everyone saw it. I also agree with GOOGIE that his Ohio State love seems to have just developed in the last couple of years.

TOLLE & NICO texted me Saturday about this, but I just now went somewhere with my laptop.

First. I feel bad for his mom. I talked to her at the first WVBTO. I got the vibe that she was on the naive side & that he was he 'little boy'. She talked exclusively about his trivia exploits. He may be the only person in her life. I know the pain I put my mom through in my goofball life, but she always stuck by me.

*snip*


Oh say what it was TIEFLY...you were HITTING on his mom. Feeling sorry for her was all part of your pick-up plan! :lol: :lol:

She was quoted saying this in the article on ESPN.com...

"We're good Christian people. (Charles) is also a Christian boy," Charlene Waugh said. "He's been saved.
He's been baptized. He's been on probation for four years and he hasn't had no problems or anything.
This situation right here's the only thing we've had in our family."

Umm, ok.

They should've let him keep the lowest pointed accounts, not his 49m account.....heck give those points to someone else and stick it to him.

If Buzztime terminated the account(s) of every convicted felon, creep, kook and weirdo, there wouldn't be a whole lot of players left.

Hey now that's not fair. I only have misdemeanor convictions.

Looks like Eric is in deep now.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr- ... 40356.html

Given the reasons for his arrest, Buzztime should delete all his accounts. Doubt he will be playing trivia anytime soon. Maybe for years to come. With no bail, they are going to throw the book at him. Kentucky State Police looked bad over this and I'll bet there will be no leniency on this one. All very sad, but he has no one to blame but himself.

I'm wondering if Buzztime would need to close the accounts. Don't accounts expire after so a certain amount of non-use? Assuming the jail he will live in for a few years doesn't have Buzztime, by the time he gets out, his accounts will be removed for lack of use anyways. Self correcting problem

Buzztime website can be seen as a social network. I don't believe they would want a known convicted sex offender with an open account on their site. It would be in their best interest to close his accounts. Doubt he will have access to a computer. But, you never know.

From the article:

His latest parole violation could result in a prison sentence.

Latest ?

They are saying he committed several. Guess the last one with Ohio State players is the one the article is referring too.

I am surprised you never followed up on this. Looks like you had
something to say but gave up.

I understand that there may be more facts here that I am not aware of or missed, which could change my mind, but if there are no more facts about this story, I will stand by my position.


Cloudy,

I know you like to stand up for people. But, this guy was given his chance with parole and no jail time. He has violated his parole in several different ways. Being on here, Facebook, Twitter and who knows where else is a violation of his parole. Going to Columbus and hanging out with 17-18 year old kids is not something a 31 year old person convicted of handling kiddie porn should be doing. Note he was hugging everyone of those guys in the pictures posted. YUCK! Plus, I would believe something else happened that night. Either he was picking up their tab or worse buying them drinks.
It all adds up to the fact he has not learned his lesson. He is in serious trouble with parole violations. Let alone with hundreds of Ohio State fans that want to take a poke at him. I see him as a con artist. Someone people should stay far away from. He is always saying I did not do that or people are misunderstood about the facts. Does it seem strange that it is never his fault.
It is time for this guy to move on. His actions are giving trivia players a bad name. Given what has happened in the last week. Buzztime needs to deactivate his accounts. BW3 in Ironton needs to tell him thanks for the business but in your best interest it is best that you move on and not come in here anymore. I believe he has been given the chance to correct his ways on his own. Now he needs structured help. Hopefully he will not end up in jail. That will not help at all. I do not wish anything bad for the guy. But, I will not defend his actions. He needs to be off the streets and given help to go on with his life.


Thanks Bob, now that I know more about the situation, I must change my position on the thing. Violating conditions of parole was incredibly foolish, and he has brought this on himself. As much as I can't condone the things he has done, I still can't help feeling sorry for the guy. He was a darn good trivia player, but it looks like his other activities have done him in. Anyway you look at it, it is a very sad story. He may very well deserve the punishment that he has brought on himself, but it is still a very sad story.

I'll reiterate...I had always defended the guy.

However, it seems to me that he got caught up in his own self-absorbed, self-created world of delusion.

Sending 'words of encouragement', 'inspirational quotes', & biblical passages to teenaged athletes is more than a little creepy. And in his case, probably violated his parole. I really don't think that he has a 1st Amendment case here, if part of his plea agreement was to stay off the internet/not have interactions with minors. If some of the recruits were under 18, then he broke the agreement.

Then there is the whole other issue of the TriviaGuru crap. As LUREED stated, the guy made-up trivia tournments that 'won' by whooping up on the 'big city' teams. Really? Dude lost to ME in the solo tournies of old, and I got my ass kicked by the 'big city' teams in the recent Buzztime for Cash (hope my check didn't bounce...Dave?) fun/fiasco. Evidence pointed to using the 4 second lag at his site to do some creative play to improve his scores/average (which are still behind my lowly averages). Yet he was boasting to the world via social media that he was the BWW Trivia Guru. And, sadly, I think he believed that.

There is a reason I don't 'follow' people on Twitter or even 'friend' people on Facebook...it's that I really don't care what folks are doing/going/liking. Not that I don't like some of the people, but I don't need minute/hour/day updates of their lives & happenings. I'm not sure how I would have reacted if I had recieved inspirational messages from him...or anyone. (OK, TOLLE, this is not an opening to text me scripture!).

Lastly, & FWIW--Dude was an avid UofK fan when I first met him. Maybe he got a crush on Brutus Buckeye or something over the years. He is kinda youthful looking for a mascot. Must like young nuts...EGADS!!!
