I heard him on the way to work this morning. Quick paraphrased recap, just imagine Tressel-speak for the answers (I'll probably miss a few questions):
Q: How is Columbus right now?
A: Everyone is excited for the weekend, almost feels like Michigan Week. Proud of all the players... (mentioned some of the players giving special recognition to the seniors Lewis and Harris, as JT always does)
Q: Are you going to the game?
A: Definitely, have practice today and tomorrow morning, flying to Atlanta after that
Q: Relationship with Thad Matta and his staff?
A: Intimate relationship between staffs, talk often, call each other to discuss things. Dan Peters was the HC at Youngstown St. when I was the AD
Q: After seeing the excitement of the tournament do you think there will ever be some kind of playoff format in D-I football?
A: Complicated matter, decision makers have a tough job balancing a playoff-type atmosphere with the tradition of the bowls.
Q: Do you want to see them play Florida after what happened earlier this year?
A: First have to beat a great Georgetown team, UCLA is also a great program. Playing Florida would provide with many interesting story lines.

It was great listening to JT... he is genuinely excited about the basketball team and proud of their accomplishments.
The Grand Legacy continues...
