i thought it was rather odd for Coach to project our 2007 Buckeye team will NOT be conservative in terms of our offensive game plan. contrary to the common perception on this up coming season, due to tremedous losses on the offense, that Coach and his assistance will most likely steer toward a more run-oriented, conservative game plan, nonetheless, he IS expecting to try to get the ball to A LOT of receivers this season. he DID say that for the most part of the first half of the season will probably be spent on finding an identity for the team. BUT he is not expecting to be conservative.
I don't know if this is another Coach's "in"famous politically correct, give-you-a-bunch-of-words-but-aint-tell-you-nothing interview technique, but it sure pumped me up hearing that from Coach that he "will" be aggressive. Hopefully, that is a positive sign on this otherwise highly anticipated/questioned season!!

I can only imagine that any interview that I can view from my "pent-house" would be visible by any coach that is going to run into JT himself on gameday. I prefer the poker face, as if it's a secret that he lost a Heisman QB, 2 first round WR's and his starting RB. I imagine they would be surprised to hear that he has his gameplan already figured out, and so would I. Although, I can think of worse weapons to work with than the returning Buckeye O, plus that D, oh did I mention that D.....

I think he will be conservative, but he doesn't want to give away his hand. As always, he says he will play to his team's strengths. But he won't go beyond the conservative until that have that stuff down.

That's well put. I don't think running the ball this year is being conservative--its what (we should) be able to do well, so (at least as things stand right now) we would be foolish not to run the ball and play to our strength.

Tressel will skip Cleveland to spread wealth
JASON LLOYD, Morning Journal Writer
08/01/2007
CHICAGO -- The purpose of the Ohio State Football Banquet in downtown Cleveland the week after the Michigan game has drastically changed over the last 20 years. Because of that, Jim Tressel said yesterday the 2007 banquet will be his last for a few years.
Tressel confirmed that he won't attend the banquet every year, in part because it has changed from a recruiting banquet to a fundraiser for the Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland's scholarship program.
''We'd gotten a fair amount of people asking us why we go to one place every year and another place every once maybe seven years,'' Tressel said. ''We're just trying to spread out a little bit where we have a chance to go and maybe raise funds for their alumni scholarships.''
Tressel, born and raised in the Cleveland area, denied ever notifying the alumni club in a letter.
''I didn't send them a letter,'' he said. ''I wouldn't do that type of thing in a letter.''
Tressel said he sat in on a conference call with the alumni office and the alumni group in Cleveland.
''It was a recruiting banquet back in the days when the alumni could recruit,'' Tressel said. ''Later on, it became focused on raising funds for scholarships. That's where we have to get into the fairness of it. We just can't help one group raise because our alumni can't help us in recruiting.''

Exactly right. Running the football doesn't mean conservative. Not throwing the football or running dive after dive after off tackle would be conservative. Our QB's can run. Our WR's can run. Our RB's most certainly can run. If the playcalling stays fresh we can run the football on any team in the country this season, bar none. If we do that and score our defense will put peoples lights out early and often.

OHIO STATE FOOTBALL
Ohio State coach Tressel to curtail alumni stops in Cleveland
Wednesday, August 08, 2007 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus- When the Ohio State Faculty Council voted to reject a bid to the Rose Bowl on Nov. 28, 1961, coach Woody Hayes took a walk to cool off while accepting the end of an 8-0-1 season for the Buckeyes. Since he was where virtually every OSU head football coach has been the Tuesday after the Michigan game for the past 55 years, Hayes took that walk in Cleveland.
That tradition soon will change.
The Ohio State Alumni Club of Greater Cleveland has been informed by coach Jim Tressel and the OSU Alumni Association that the banquet this year on Nov. 20 will be the last to guarantee Tressel's presence. In future years, the Cleveland club will receive Tressel as part of a rotation with other alumni clubs, with an OSU assistant coach likely filling his place.
Continued.....
