Great article.
Slowly but surely that will have the needed positive impact, even in the famously fickle Cincitucky area.

"  OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1')
His sweater-vest is scarlet when the Buckeyes wear white. It's gray when they're in red. That way, he says, the players can find him."
I don't know that I've read a sentence that sums
up the man's attention to details so well.

What flavor of Gatorade goes with scarlet?
Speaking of which, isn't it fitting that Coach Tressel will be doused with GATORade tonight?

COMMENTARY
On the verge of being crowned a king, Tressel loses his Midas touch
GLENDALE, Ariz. ? Jim Tressel doesn?t look and sound any different.
Same sweater vest. Same rimless glasses. Same measured manner. Same verbiage in his games of interview pong with the news media. But late in the first half of the national championship game against Florida, the Ohio State coach turned into the reincarnation of Yortuk Festruna, one of Saturday Night Live?s wild and crazy guys.

Legend of Tressel unclear after loss
By Sheldon Ocker
GLENDALE, ARIZ. - During a stoppage of play with 6:18 left in the third quarter, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel walked onto the field to speak to quarterback Troy Smith and defensive lineman Vernon Gholston.
Tressel's arms were folded over his signature red sweater vest, and he showed no emotion or animation. For all anyone knew, he was asking Smith and Gholston whether they preferred chocolate or strawberry milkshakes after the game.

Eh... Tressel's legend is still clear in Buckeye Nation... one loss a legacy does not make in this case. |

Everyone just wait, because next year is going to be one hell of a ride. You think the players will be motivated? Just watch Tressel. He's going to learn from this and I think will do his best coaching job yet.
