I didn't hear the tone of JT's question. Was this a shot at some players enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers a little too much last year during the long layoff? |

I thought it had more of a "suck it up and quit whining -- you are starting to sound like Beanie" tone to it.

Tressel on ESPN
Anybody else catch the interview with Tressel on Collin's show? I didn't catch it all, but what I heard was very good and as always Tressel was on top of his game.....

I caught it. It was standard Tressel.
Colin: I don't have you guys at #1. I have LSU at #1. But, if LSU struggles, then I will put you guys at #1.
Tressel: We need to do our part for you to put us at #1.
Colin: Okay, that's fair.
The best part was when he revealed that an 83 year old woman from Akron, OH designed the Statue of Liberty play that resulted in a first down from
Troy Smith to Antonio Pittman in the Ohio State - Michigan game. Tressel emphasized that he always reads all of his mail, because he cares about what the fans want and that you never know what you are going to get.

Reason: Originally thought "Statue of Liberty Playaction Pass", as Smith had the ball behind his back before he threw the 39 yard TD.

I guess there is hope yet for JoePa, all he needs is the right kind of octogenarian assistant coaching staff.

At just before 7 am PST, I was listening to the Coward (intentional misspelling) show. He told Ivan Maisel that he was going to say these exact words to Tressel. After that, all I heard was what sounded like bottles squirting and Colin and Ivan slopping lotion all over each other in some audio man love situation. For those who aren't aware, on the Left Coast, the Pac 10 switches places of prominence with the SEC.
Anyway... it's good to read that Tressel stayed his professional self.

And there's a whole lot of people that don't really have much understanding of what it takes to be good at this game but yet love to have opinions. If you struggle taking criticism, then you need to not be at Ohio State or not be playing the game of football. - Jim Tressel
