Loss to LSU opens critics' hunting season on Tressel, according to Bill Livingston

OHIO STATE LOSES: THE AFTERMATH



Second BCS trouncing smudges OSU's Vest
New Orleans


- From The Sweater Vest to The Flunked Test.
Critics today are saying that Jim Tressel is one controversial pass interference call from being John Cooper. A penalty flag was the 15-inch-square patch of polyester that became Ohio State's magic carpet in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.
In the delay in the first overtime between the ball landing in the end zone and the flag fluttering down were hatched a thousand conspiracy theories. Actually, there was a foul on the play, but it should have been ruled defensive holding since the ball was not in the air.
Ohio State won in the second overtime. It was the Buckeyes' first national championship in 34 years. Romantics said it was won by intangibles and unity, which was partly true.

That guy Livingston is an idiot. That article is completely useless.

Personally, I agree. Fire him. We've had enough of this talk of what he achieved, let's look at what he did not achieve:

• He lost two national championship games in six years.
• He has not placed anywhere near the top in any of the annual BBQ cook-offs.
• Fashion is his worst problem. Not changing with the times.
• Public relations is a disaster. Neither Mark May nor Mike Freeman seem to like him very much. Trevor Dodd is another one he has failed to impress.
• Originality and creativity. Name just one dance step that he has invented. Name one piece of artwork hanging in the Louvre. Not good, a real fail on these criteria.
• Human Resource Managment. No Nobel Peace Prize. Not one. Zip. He actually fails to engage with international conflicts. Just this week, we have Kenya. What has he done to resolve Kenya?
• TSUN. It's been a while but let's not forget he lost to them. He also said nice things about VLloyd.
• Barksdale. That is the big one. He blew it on Barksdale big time.

So, you put it together. When we line up criteria like this, Tressel doesn't cut it.

OK, fine, line up the typical coaching stuff and he looks like the top guy in the game, but on these other criteria, he's a failure. Let's see if he sorts out Kenya, get's that one done and I'll change my mind.

Do I get the job? Can I be a big-time "sports journalist" too? Huh? Please? I could associate him by innuendo with the Boston Strangler if you think that might help. Please?

You are disqualified from the job as you used the sarcasm font.

Actually, I think he used italics. He had pizazz on the mind.

But, I sounded like the other guys, didn't I? I picked the same kind of meaningful criteria and I was very careful to make no sense at all.

Is this because I am a dyslexic American-African?
