Ohio radio station offers Casey Anthony $10,000 to wear Michigan hat

When Casey Anthony was discovered to be hiding out in Ohio and wearing a Ohio State hate (Go Blue!) it explained a lot… but now an Ohio radio station is offering the nation’s most notrious woman $10,000 if she wears a Michigan hat. According to 10TV, the radio show “The Dave and Jimmy Show,” host Jimmy “Jam” says that “10,000 is a good trade off for wearing a Michigan hat.” Anthony has family in northeast Ohio and was snapped by photographers shopping at an Old Navy in downtown Lennox. When TMZ posted the photos,

“We are never surprised to see Buckeye pride displayed across the world,” an Ohio State representative told TMZ. “Buckeye hoodies and hats have traditionally been spotted across the world, and we understand that as a result, our logo will be seen in a wide range of news situations, whether positive or negative.”

Disdained Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel is supposedly happy about Anthony being spotted in the hat, because he is no longer Buckeye nation’s most hated!

Among the reports: an assistant football coach replied to a text message he thought was from a current player, a volleyball coach emailed a UGA alumn who has a “prospective-age” daughter, and the assistant basketball mistakenly sent a text message to a recruit instead of an email on his phone.

Schools are growing more cautious over NCAA violations after Sports Illustrated ivestigated Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. They uncovered an eight-year pattern of players selling autographs and memorbilia for money and other goods including drugs.
