Coach Tressel's Best Quotes

[BuckBackHome]

Let's get a nice compilation of some of JT's best quotes and one-liners.

Kellen Winslow - Where can I get a sweater vest like yours?

Kellen Winslow - What is your definition of Pass Interference?

Jim Tressel - Hit the weight room and you can borrow one of mine.

Jim Tressel - When the guy in the black and white striped shirt and the funny pants throws a flag, it's pass interference.

My favorite (more of a paraphrase that a quote) was when they asked him how he felt about not being tOSUs first choice: "Hell, I wasn't even my wife's first choice."

My favorite (this year) is the high praise for Ginn Jr. after the Penn State game

Tressel: On -- on that reverse, I mean, all of a sudden he got around the corner and how silly to hold. I mean, they're not gonna catch him. We should just have each of our guys drop to a knee.

and later

Tressel: He's fast enough? He can go, Bill. I've never seen one like him.

[Gamebreaker]

I like this old one:

When it comes to being good, Tressel wants no limits set. As a matter of fact, he summed it up in one sentence.

"Our thinking is we want to be good at everything," he said.

I hope I'm not just making that up, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading it after the Gruden, Mason, etc. brainlock. I'll have to try to find the source.

I read that before, you are not making it up

Unlike Woody, Earle, and Cooper, Tressel is a hard guy to truly "know". I always assume there is much more going on in his head than he's actually revealing. He's probably a good poker player.

This thread needs to be filled in for posterity.

From today -

"This band's more important than the football team, so you better move."

- pulling the reporter off the field at halftime.

His quote from the U-M, OSU basketball game? I was watching it at home over break and thought "Uh oh. That guy gets it."

"You'll be proud of our young people in the classroom, in the community, and most especially in 310 days in Ann Arbor, Michigan on the football field."
