Senator Jim Tressel: Buckeye Jekyll and Hyde?
...
So OK, one of two things have to be true. Either football teams do not reflect their head coach (otherwise OSU's teams would play like zombies) or deep down in the hidden recesses of The Vest there exists a different Jim Tressel that comes out at dark and shadowy times and inspires his teams. Not likely you say, Mister "Tressel is boring?" His players say otherwise.
"I've been around here for a while. I've heard it a few times, especially when we need it," said senior captain Kurt Coleman of Tressel's ability to get fired up, and more importantly, show it.
"I think half time and before the game are two of he biggest times when you can see the emotion in his face, you can feel it.
"He lets us know that it's never going to be an easy game and we have to rise to the challenge. He does a good job of telling us that," Coleman said.
Shocked? So were we. Coleman's proclamation left us dubious, so we did what any self-respecting skeptic would do, we looked for somebody to refute him. Amazingly, we couldn't find that person.
