Yeah, yeah... Jim Tressel was "gearing down" with the "2RIPP" offense... christ almighty.OSUK;2202385; said:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZ8bhcCGfA"]Jim Tressel last speech as Head Coach during game - YouTube[/ame]
"...Perfect special teams. Defense keep playing your a** off... offense no mistakes... you want to punch 'em and daze 'em ...if you want to daze them, right now, this is our chance... you want to give some hope? Go three and out. That's real. You got to go after their a** with it.
You got 30 minutes take these guys out the right way... 30 minutes, fight hard, prepare hard, and it comes down now the way it should, in a BCS game... the way it should... two good a** teams, two good a** teams go for 30 minutes... does everyone understand? {Team: Yes sir}. Sideline do you understand? {Yes Sir}"

I just want him to confirm he's continuing the tradition of being a ruthless prick on gameday that will run the score up on his own mother, thereby returning himself to Most Favored Coach Who Covers (MFCWC) status to those of us who like to throw a buck or two on the outcome of games.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Not football related, but the Dean of the business school was forced to resign in disgrace and give back $1.25MM in "consulting" fees from convicted embezzler, Ponzi schemer and Fredo donor Tom Petters.
Let's hope their cycle of shame keeps rolling on Saturday with a good old fashioned plunger rape.

I never blame anything on Tressel. You didn't get the memo. Everything is Bollman's fault.
That being said, I'm one of these weird people who believes what they see. Watch the game. I believe the key phrase in the speech is "offense no mistakes". And I also believe "going after it" had a different meaning in that regime.
But to a point we all agree on - Go Bucks! Beat the tar out of Miami.

I am loathe to have this argument when we're about to start an exciting new season and new era, but I can't resist making this point again...
That game turned and the playcalling changed because the offensive line started getting their asses whooped.
Bringing it back to the here and now though... One difference I think we'll see under Urban Meyer is that in that situation I think that he'll challenge the players to step back up and compete in that situation, where Jim Tressel would seem to think in that situation that if the players weren't going to find a way to close out the game, then he'd take it out of their hands to an extent. I don't think one approach is better than the other - they both have their time and place in my opinion. In Tressel's case, that approach was the perfect antidote to some of our frustrations from the Cooper era. Now with Meyer, it seems we have the antidote to some of the things that had gotten stale under Tressel.

Tressel absolutely geared down. he won that way but arguing otherwise is rather disingenuousBleed S & G;2202413; said:
this was his key principle on offense and why they frequently were conservative to a fault, to an extreme of being very predictable, right down to the QB draws on third down
this was the opposite of how they played in non Michigan games and non bowl games for the most part.
The sugar bowl OTOH was more like the regular season script seen vs Iowa 09, Usc 09, etc.
The man punted in medium distance field goal range.
his way won but it was definitely geared down to protect against mistakes in many games.

The difference is that, as we learned in All-Access, "...the punt is the most important play because if you block a punt you win (most) of the time."
The difference is the reason for the play's importance.

That. Is. Awesome. God, I miss being a student at the best University in the country.
Like all of you, I absolutely bleed Scarlet and Gray, but I have to admit; the "tattoo-gate" debacle really disappointed me and took some shine off of the whole thing...
Luke Fickell and the team did a great job last year moving on, toughing it out through a difficult situation, and keeping The Ohio State University moving forward. Now the disappointment is fully in our rear view mirror and we kick off a new era in Buckeye football tomorrow, and I can't wait.

Let the cards fall...
As tomorrow's game lurks over the horizon, I have to admit......it's been a while since I've been this excited about an Ohio State season. Obviously, the Tress days were very successful ones. I am forever grateful for what he brought to the program. He had great success and won lots of games doing it his way. When he was here I fully supported the conservative approach, because it was working. With that said, last season was tough to endure.....so much that I wanted to see a fresh start. It's time for an up-tempo and aggressive offense. It's time to stop being so damn cordial and get some swagger back. Screw the national perception of the Bucks and the Big Ten. Time to get back to kicking ass. Frankly, I don't want to see these Meyer squads hold back. I want them to shove the national perception up everyone's asses on our way back to the top. Tomorrow is that new beginning and I have a feeling that Meyer is going to take a program that's already at the top and move it to stratospheric levels.
