Are you saying this goes all the way back to Earle? And he's possibly influenced the environment from the cover of the Destroyers?
It's all starting to make sense... |

TRESSEL ON SMITH, DUNGY
Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel doesn't pretend to know Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy like best friends. But the three are acquaintances. Smith and Dungy will be the first black head coaches in a Super Bowl.
"I admire them a lot," Tressel said. "I got an e-mail from a friend of mine who works for the Bears (likely running backs coach Tim Spencer), and I was congratulating him. His e-mail back was on target. He said, 'You know, the nice thing about this Super Bowl is it's a gentleman's Super Bowl. No matter what happens, a nice guy will finish first.
"I'm probably taken more by the fact that you've got two quality human beings in the Super Bowl than the fact they're African-Americans."
Smith is a former assistant at Ohio State, where he was former Bulldog Che Bryant's position coach.

Tressel pops in on Tiger gridders
By CHRIS EASTERLING Chris.Easterling@IndeOnline.com
Folks wandering the hallways near the weight room inside Washington High shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday were treated to a surprise guest in the person of Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel.
Tressel, attired in a gray sportcoat over ? yes ? a red sweater-vest, hit Washington High as part of a recruiting swing through the area. McKinley was also included among the stops for the Buckeye head coach.

JT covers numerous topics from the Florida debacle to spring practice...therefore, this one can go in this thread:
Canton
Tressel: Team lost momentum, sharpness
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
By Todd Porter
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
CANTON TWP. As usual, a capacity crowd at Four Winds restaurant greeted Jim Tressel. But this wasn?t the usual circumstances the Ohio State head football coach meets with the Hall of Fame Luncheon Club.
Tressel, an old friend to the club who has visited 22 straight years, entered the building having lost the last game he coached, the national championship. And his team lost it big.
Still, he was among friends. Tressel received a standing ovation ? twice ? and seemed at home with his audience. Speaking in Canton, one of his first speaking appearances in Ohio since the Buckeyes lost Jan. 8, was a lot easier than the speech he gave two days after losing to Florida 41-14.

Tressel reflects on loss, looks forward

The Review
CANTON TWP. -- On the fourth Monday in February, Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel was in a reflective mood while addressing the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club.
The issue is what transpired seven Mondays earlier in Glendale Ariz., the site where the Buckeyes were outplayed and overwhelmed 41-14 by the Florida Gators in the National Championship Game on January 8.
"We weren't as good as we needed to be to beat Florida," stated Tressel. "We were ready to play ... for 12 seconds."
Tressel was referring to Ted Ginn's opening-game touchdown on a kickoff return to give Ohio State a short-lived 7-0 lead.
