Many thanks for all that the Tressel Family has done. Very generous gift for the YSU Athletic Dept. Now all he has left is to destroy us by 50 on 9/1/07.

Let's start out with a hearty ''Boo'' for Ohio State football head coach Jim Tressel.
John Brown, Morning Journal Writer
07/22/2007
It's bad enough Tressel recently decided that after this November, he won't make an annual appearance at the Greater Cleveland OSU Alumni Association's football banquet -- a dinner that's been attended by OSU head coaches for 55 consecutive years and serves as the main fundraising tool for the alumni group's scholarship program.
What's worse is how Tressel had the bad news delivered to the Greater Cleveland alumni: in a snippy ''Here's how it's gonna be'' letter -- full of moaning and whining about how it was unfair to expect someone as popular and in-demand as Tressel to attend the Cleveland banquet every year.
Instead of ''O-H-I-O,'' maybe ''E-G-O'' should be the word to spell out for this move by Tressel.

The Morning Journal has been my local paper for a long time and it is a small market joke of a paper, I wouldn't worry too much about an opinion piece in it.

We shall see if this makes it into print in their comments section ...

I'm all for tradition, and breaking a 55 year streak of consistent attendance is news on one level. But, let's see if I have this right.
"after this November" Tressel will not guarantee attendance at the Greater Cleveland Area Alumni Dinner?
Which indicates he will be attending this year's dinner, chalk up 56 consecutive years of attendance.
"he won't make an annual appearance"
Were these the actual words in the letter to the GCAA? If so this still leaves open the possibility that he may appear, just not every year. Plus, you make no mention of whether or not another of the coaches would make the trip to the banquet in his stead in the off years.
"What's worse is how Tressel had the bad news delivered to the Greater Cleveland alumni: in a snippy ''Here's how it's gonna be'' letter -- full of moaning and whining about how it was unfair to expect someone as popular and in-demand as Tressel to attend the Cleveland banquet every year."
Gee, could we editorialize more severely? Sending a letter, taking the time to write out one's thoughts has apparently become an uncivil action. Besides which, how else would he communicate; oh, by phone, face-to-face, on bended knee? Moreover you take snippets to suit your slant, that much is obvious. Be fair and reproduce the letter in question. Let the reader decide how much "whining and moaning" it contains. Otherwise it leaves me with the impression that the moaning and whining is coming from one mouth - yours.
