Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is now 0-2 in news conferences, and that might be the only record that counts.
The first time, at Big Ten media days, he lied.
The second time?
Meyer stood in front of a room full of reporters and television cameras on Wednesday night, taking center stage in what was the biggest story in sports, and apologized more to "Buckeye Nation" than he did Courtney Smith.
It's not just what Meyer said, or the adolescent, bumbling way in which he delivered it. It's what he didn't say -- starting with her name.
