On James Laurinaitis choosing to stay at Ohio State
"The thing about James is it really is not all about him. The most important thing Coach Tressel preaches to the team is that it is not all about one player. That is the thing about a lot of the great players who have come through here; it is about their team and people remember the last thing you did when you were here."

On whether or not he would have been surprised had James chose to leave...

Freeman/Animal/Homan will be starters.
Terry/Spitler/ Rolle as backup.
That leaves these to do something with.
I hope I didn't leave any off
Drummelsmith
Gibson
Hines
Johnson
Moeller
Sabino
Sweat
One could switch Rolle and Moeller I suppose.
