I love it. As I went through college at YSU (88-93) my buddies and I would always talk about where Tress might end up. Coach won NCs at YSU in 91, 93, 94, and 97 and people in Youngstown were dancing in the streets. When talk surfaced about the "U" job and Coach leaving for Miami we were sure that he wouldn't go. Sure enough he turned down the U and that's when we all knew that he was holding out for the Ohio State job.
I can't tell you how happy I was when Coach Tressel was named as the Ohio State head coach. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I had been in Columbus for three years when Coach got the job. I was taking phone calls all day from my friends all over the country who are YSU alums. To a person they all said "Ohio State just got themselves a NC in the next four years. Sure enough, Coach won it in 02.
