I just wanted to mention about Tressel that this past saturday, I seen a whole new look in his eyes. I have never seen him look like he is in such control. From kickoff i knew that we would win the game, I believe that he was probably hurt more than anyone of us know about what happened in the dessert about a year ago, he is coaching his ass off this year and I commend him for it. He wants revenge and he's taking it out on anyone who is an opposition.

vince young didn't stop ryan hamby from catching a probable game winning td. didn't force tOSU to settle for 3 field goals 3 times after turnovers gave us the ball inside the texas 40.
vy played his part that night, but the texas d won that game. he may have thrown the final td in the final seconds. but if their d gives up 21 instead of 9 that is nothing more than a garbage time td to keep things from looking as bad as they really were. they had a great team that year.
as far as tressel is concerned. he impresses me more every single year. it really seems to me that not only does he shape his offense to match the players. but he seems to be getting more aggressive as time goes on. im not sure if he is getting more comfortable with his job and no longer afraid of being fired if he looses. or if it is taking him time to adjust from D1 AA athletes and schemes to D1 A. or it could simply be that the things he wanted to do simply weren't possible until he was able to work in his recruits. but i have been very happily impressed by the way he is managing this season and as well as seasons past. you always see players develop over 3 - 5 years. its not as common to watch a coach/coaching staff do the same.

From today's presser:
COACH TRESSEL: "I'm not surprised he's taken the ball and run with it because the way he prepares and he's a talented kid. And, yes, we did need to see it. I think sometimes when you're knighted before you're deserving it works against you. I think Todd, not unlike the quarterback at Wisconsin, had to go and earn and emerge as the guy. I think that's most respected by your teammates. Sometimes the old axiom, some guys have to prove they can't, some guys have to prove they can, I think you gain the greatest amount of confidence from your teammates when you're one of the guys that has to prove he can."
Nice dig at Ntre Ame and Claussen, and an incredibly funny one at that.

I don't think that had anything to do with ND.
