Jim Tressel is back ... on Ohio State's campus

Tressel attends Remembrance Park dedication ceremony; thinks about OSU football 'daily'

On the eve of Ohio State football's season-opening game, former coach Jim Tressel returned to campus Friday as part of OSU's ROTC Remembrance Park dedication ceremony.

Tressel, and wife, Ellen, donated a monument to Remembrance Park entitled "Traditions Monument." The words "service," "tradition," "academics" and "athletics" were engraved on the monument, as were depictions of a World War I-era soldier, the university seal, a student donning a cap and gown and a football player.

The monument was topped with four Block "O" engravings.

"This (the monument) is something that we've been talking about for a long time," Tressel told The Lantern. "Our young people in the football world, almost every day, we talk to them about the sacrifices that others made so that we could…. go to school and be free and play football.

"We talked for years about the fact that Remembrance Park was on the drawing board and it came out extraordinary."

"Those are my kids — that's the way I look at them," he said. "They'll be warm tomorrow, but they'll be fine."

Those clowns on the Scott Van Pelt Show are the reason this thing keeps getting beat around. These ass clowns make rapid fire comments like that and wonder why people hate them. I don't know which one made the comment (barely know which one is which one the Mike and Mike show), but it's his motor mouth that bothers me the most. Tressel's new "gig" with the Colts as the put it, will be to tell the coaches when to challenge a play call (throw a red flag). We need someone to challenge some of these announcers and throw a few flags of our own.
