Tressel was hired to do two things: win the Big Ten and beat Michigan. He implemented a strategy of prioritizing Ohio recruiting to suffocate the Big 10 and especially Michigan of talent. He augmented the recruiting strategy by cultivating an ethos around the program that emphasized peaking in...

The exhalation in the WHAC was palpable after the Oregon win. The 2010 team played more freely than any team since The Game 2006, because the atmosphere around the program had changed. You could feel it in the buildings. As to the LSU game, compare the draft talent on that LSU squad to the OSU...

This is revisionist history from someone who was likely a child during the Tressel era. You are showing your age by what you're leaving out. The wins against Washington State (#10), Miami (#1), Washington (#17), Philip Rivers' NC State (#22), Kansas State (#8), Notre Dame (#5), and Texas (#2)...

They are idiots, but they are a receding pool of idiots. I remember when they used to have 2,500 plus online at any given day during the offseason. They're hovering around 1,000 now. Rich Rodriguez has not been good to the recruiting boards at Michigan.

The three stages of the USC Media Guide:

And then compare it to the list of the ones who haven't. Hint: One is much, much bigger than the other. And it's not the one you want it to be.

Great to hear. He's a relative unknown in recruiting circles, so it's great to hear a first-hand report.

We are absolutely set for 2010 and 2011. 2012 is where the first question marks happen, but that's only because the young guys have not had much of a chance to prove anything yet. And this is also not taking into account anyone else we grab this year (Price, Crowell, and Turene being possibilities.)

Jordan Hicks was a native South Carolinian, but your point stands- he was not attached to Ohio State in any meaningful way.

As mentioned above myself, his pension depends upon how many years he stays in the league, so if you are rooting for Troy Smith's long-term financial success, being cut is not in his best interest.

As a rule, I generally dislike ESPN's recruiting reviews for various reasons, but their description of Ejuan Price sounds very much like Brian Rolle. To go along with the stylistic similarities between the two, both of them share the same number of letters in their first and last names (5)...

Shady himself will be at the announcement ceremony.

Maurice was the final piece that put the last national championship together, so maybe his return foreshadows another.

You have to remember that Bucknuts leads the interviewee in a certain direction with the questions. And I'm sure Mrs. DePriest is well aware of who the audience is. There's no doubt in my mind that he's going to Alabama.

:rofl:

In my opinion, this is nothing but positive news for Ohio State. After the wringer that he put the university through, to move on amicably shows a real sign of institutional maturity. I would not be surprised if Jim Tressel had a hand in lobbying for this either.

And Ron Zook beat a national championship game participant in 2007- of course both coaches know "the game," but until Lane Kiffin wins "the game," he has more in common with Ron Zook than any other coach out there.

Joe Paterno- 46 seasons. Jim Tressel- 10 seasons. Mark Dantonio- 4 season this year. Brett Bielema- 6 seasons. Danny Hope- 2nd season this year. RR- Third season this year. Bill lynch- 4th season this year. Pat Fitzgerald- 6th season this year. Tim Brewster- 4th season this year. Kirk Ferentz-...

Germain Ifedi- OT

:lol: There was that rumor he was writing the script for the 4th Indiana Jones' Film. Can you imagine that ending? Indiana Jones is revealed to be the dead incarnation of Hitler.
