oh hush... you know you worry about it too. Not as much as the other guys... but a tiny tiny little.

No I don't worry about it. JT will never leave us.

TRESSEL TALKS
Ohio State coach discusses Buckeyes and the national championship game
Sunday, January 21, 2007

Even in the worst of times, there is no such thing as a conversation with Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel in which someone gets thrown under the bus. So it was when he took time from recruiting to talk with The Dispatch?s Tim May about the 41-14 loss to Florida in the national championship game Jan. 8. Many players made mistakes that night, and the coaches? plan wasn?t so grand, in retrospect, but any blame was cast with a blanket. Here are some questions and answers that hit the still-hot topics:

Spoof article from "The Other Paper"

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Responding to the demands of local reporters and a handful of Buckeye fans, Coach Jim Tressel addressed the Ohio State football team’s 41-14 loss to Florida in a macabre press conference yesterday.
.............

“But I’ve come to realize we have great fans and friends in the media who can’t move on—can’t do their jobs, can’t feed their pets, can’t love their children—until they’re assured, again, that our coaching staff doesn’t like getting beat by 27 points.”
Tressel then placed a small box on the table in front of him.
“I could sit here and talk to you all day about how much this loss hurts,” he said. “But instead, I thought I’d just show you.”
Tressel opened the box and tilted it toward the reporters, several of whom passed out at the sight of severed human body parts.
“In here is a finger from each of our assistant coaches,” he said, adding that while every coach had a finger cut off to atone for the upset loss, not everyone had to part with the same finger.

Seriously? It's ony a game bro, I love the Bucks as much as the next guy..........but given the things that I've seen some endure in their lives, it makes it a bit petty to dwell over your favorite team losing a football game. It sucks, but it's the first thing I'd choose to see if given a checklist of bad things that could happen.

People need to move on. The sun will shine again on OSU football, and sooner before later it will shine again on Jim Tressel. I'm already pumped about next season, no sense in dwelling.

I undertand Best. There is something missing and you can't find it. It is lost and never will be found. It can only be dampered until the next win. Until then we live with the loss as best we can.. Which is what you do too, if I understand you correctly.

WTH? Nah I was just goofing around while i was getting a beer open.

When Tressel takes another job, we know the terrorists have won. :p

I want Tressel to explain global warming too. We've known about that a long time and I'd like to know what he is doing about it. I've also have gained about 3 kilograms that I'd like to get off and I want him to explain what he is doing to help.

Tressel needs to understand right now, I am the center of his life. This is personal.

I'd also like to know if he also hears these voices I hear...

 

[SanClementeBuck]

Let's see? Hmmmm? Disasters I can recall? Uh, the 2-year long romance as an 18-year old, when the oneandonlyforever...departs for another.

Losing a best friend in combat...

Losing 2 nephews to drugs...

Gett'n fired when things were tough...

Oh, almost forgot...a resounding football loss to Florida: #192 on my list.

Jim Tressel is behind global warming in case you were wondering...i think he hopes that warmer weather in Ohio will help to give us some of that secret sec speed that he keeps hearing about, either that or he's just trying to heat up the state of florida until it spontaneously bursts into flames.....i think its the second one, Jims always looking to please the fans:)

 

[BuckeyeBiz]

I agree that Tressel is a global warming backer. According to most Scientists, at the current rate of polar ice caps and shelves melting, a good part of Florida as we know it will be under water.

 

[HineyBuck]

You can blame Tressel for global warming if you want, but it might be worth noting that the Columbus North High School Polar Bears have been extinct since the early 1980s, well before Tressel's time at tOSU. 'Nuff said.

Are you saying this goes all the way back to Earle? And he's possibly influenced the environment from the cover of the Destroyers?
It's all starting to make sense...

TRESSEL ON SMITH, DUNGY

Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel doesn't pretend to know Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy like best friends. But the three are acquaintances. Smith and Dungy will be the first black head coaches in a Super Bowl.

"I admire them a lot," Tressel said. "I got an e-mail from a friend of mine who works for the Bears (likely running backs coach Tim Spencer), and I was congratulating him. His e-mail back was on target. He said, 'You know, the nice thing about this Super Bowl is it's a gentleman's Super Bowl. No matter what happens, a nice guy will finish first.

"I'm probably taken more by the fact that you've got two quality human beings in the Super Bowl than the fact they're African-Americans."

Smith is a former assistant at Ohio State, where he was former Bulldog Che Bryant's position coach.
