Kellen Winslow, Sr. asked Tress 2 questions(sarcastically):
1) Where can I get one of those sweater vests? and
2) How do you define pass interference?

Tressel responded with: "First, maybe if you get in the weight room and work out a little bit, you can borrow one of mine. And the definition of pass interference? Well, when those guys in the black and white striped shirts, and funny pants throw out one of those yellow hankies, then it's pass interference."

THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT OVERTIME THRILLERS IN OHIO STATE FOOTBALL HISTORY

2002: NO. 2 OHIO STATE 31, NO. 1 MIAMI 24 (2OT)
Entering the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, aka the 2002 BCS national championship game, most experts weren't give Ohio State a chance.

The Buckeyes were an 11.5-point underdog to a Miami program sporting a 34-game winning streak but what was supposed to be a coronation for the Hurricanes turned into an improbable national title – Ohio State's first since 1968.

Playing with nothing to lose, the Buckeyes built a 17-7 lead in the third quarter before Miami scored the final 10 points in regulation capped by a Todd Sievers 40-yard field goal to force overtime.

Miami scored a touchdown on the opening possession of overtime and things looked bleak for the Ohio State when Krenzel and company faced a 4th-and-14 but the clutch quarterback would find Michael Jenkins on an out route to keep the game alive before facing another fourth down – this time 4th-and-3 at the Miami 5.

Looking for Chris Gamble in the front right corner of the end zone, Krenzel's pass ricocheted out of bounds and it looked like the game was over before official Terry Porter's pass interference flag finally left his pocket and appropriately extended the game. Three plays later, Krenzel ran up the gut for six, tying the game at 24 apiece.

With Ohio State starting off the second overtime, Maurice Clarett found the end zone on the fifth play of the drive giving the Buckeyes a 31-24 edge, putting all the pressure squarely on Miami quarterback Ken Dorsey.

Matt Wilhelm would plaster Dorsey early on the ensuing possession, injuring his throwing shoulder. Wilhelm's blow caused Dorsey to throw wide on a potential game-tying play before the Hurricanes eventually faced a 4th-and-1 at the 1-yard line.

A Cie Grant blitz pressured Dorsey once more and his desperation heave fell harmlessly to the ground setting off a wild celebration as the Buckeyes captured the national title, much to the dismay of ABC color commentator Dan Fouts.

Just sayin': Check out the article, see "2002: NO.2 OHIO STATE 23, ILLINOIS 19". Had Ohio State not won that game there probably would be no "2003: NO. 2 OHIO STATE 31, NO.1 MIAMI 24 (2OT)".

I hate to say it, but I think that specific picture is disingenuous. I believe the ball is bouncing away from Gamble at that point.

But obviously, at least to those paying attention, the ref (Terry Porter) in the back of the end zone signaled both holding and PI on the play, so it definitely deserved to be a Buckeye first down.

And Gamble had his shirt pulled before catching the ball inbounds late in regulation, which would have given tOSU a first down with 2:18 left, a running clock, and Miami only had 1 timeout. So there never should have been an OT.

THIS, THIS, THIS. Not to mention the blatant uncalled block in the back on the long punt return that set up the game tying field goal.

Time has made me forget how great Krenzel was running the ball this game, and how effective Lydell Ross was in his limited role.

or Kieth Jackson disparagingly referring to the QB running from a direct shot gun snap as "single wing football."

Within what, 4-5 years, the media couldn't stop slobbing Tebow's nuts and ESPN had deemed OSU's offense old fashioned and slow because it still ran I formation plays with a QB under center. Meanwhile, if LSU or Bama ran that kind of offense it was "manball".

Fuck I hate ESPN
