Doug has said the gold pants weren't his. Also having DW on them does not mean it was him or another player (Donald Washington). Coaches I know for a fact receive them, and I believe if memory serves me correct, team assistants, also receive the gold pants for wins over Michigan.

What does scare me is the fact the seller stated that he acquired the pants from a private collector "several" years ago. 2008 wasn't that long ago, you have to hope these were a staff member's gold pants, and not a player.
EDIT: Of course you have to think that could've been a selling point for the seller given the recent suspensions.

Let's not overlook the fact that gold pants can be reproduced pretty easily.
My wife had a pair made for me after ushering my first OSU victory over scUM. We knew a guy who bought a pair off ebay. A local jewler was friends with him too, and my wife asked the jewler to make a reproduction of them to give to me....can't be too hard to make a wax mold of them then sell for above the price of gold as a piece of memorabilia to a dealer / collector, etc. (which I guess opens a whole new discussion, but).
Anyway, just saying I could probably use my gold pants as a mold, then have any initials, date, etc. I wanted added to them and reproduced in quantity.
Just gotta be careful trying to guess who's a "real buckeye" or not because we might thing they sold some of these things.

Despite NCAA Violations, Former Players Firmly Behind Tressel
By Brandon Castel
COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Jim Tressel has been called a liar, a fake and a phony.
Photo by Jim Davidson Doug Worthington
He has been mocked in the public forum for his ostensibly hypocritical behavior over the last year, but not everyone sees Tressel?s actions as out of character for Ohio State?s outwardly pious head coach.
?He looked out for his players, and rightfully so. Obviously, they got him where he?s at,? former Ohio State captain Doug Worthington said in an exclusive interview with the-Ozone.
?As far as the whole FBI situation, he did what?s best for those kids. They didn?t tamper with the FBI situation. There?s a lot more than sports writers and other people could really fathom that?s a lot higher than sports.?
