I'm all for tradition, and breaking a 55 year streak of consistent attendance is news on one level. But, let's see if I have this right.
"after this November" Tressel will not guarantee attendance at the Greater Cleveland Area Alumni Dinner?
Which indicates he will be attending this year's dinner, chalk up 56 consecutive years of attendance.
"he won't make an annual appearance"
Were these the actual words in the letter to the GCAA? If so this still leaves open the possibility that he may appear, just not every year. Plus, you make no mention of whether or not another of the coaches would make the trip to the banquet in his stead in the off years.
"What's worse is how Tressel had the bad news delivered to the Greater Cleveland alumni: in a snippy ''Here's how it's gonna be'' letter -- full of moaning and whining about how it was unfair to expect someone as popular and in-demand as Tressel to attend the Cleveland banquet every year."
Gee, could we editorialize more severely? Sending a letter, taking the time to write out one's thoughts has apparently become an uncivil action. Besides which, how else would he communicate; oh, by phone, face-to-face, on bended knee? Moreover you take snippets to suit your slant, that much is obvious. Be fair and reproduce the letter in question. Let the reader decide how much "whining and moaning" it contains. Otherwise it leaves me with the impression that the moaning and whining is coming from one mouth - yours.

Padraig;886774; said:College Football Live is a new ESPN program...similar to their NFL Live segment. It airs Mon. thru Fri. at 3:30 - 4:00.
Edit: (additional info)
They will be interviewing what ESPN considers to be the upcoming seasons top Heisman Candidates (25 of them I believe...not sure if Beani is one of them), head coaches of top football programs...Les Miles was today, Coach Tress as already mentioned will be tomorrow, Pete Carroll will be this Thurs., ND's Chucky and former ND coaches Parseghien and Holtz will talk College Football & all things Notre Dame as part of a 30 minute segment on a College Football Live Special Wed., Aug. 29th from 7-11 p.m. with Brent Musburger "moderating".
They will also be following some of the top Senior Players through personal video diaries throughout the season.
Sounds like a decent program to me.

osu_edu;887627; said:i thought it was rather odd for Coach to project our 2007 Buckeye team will NOT be conservative in terms of our offensive game plan. contrary to the common perception on this up coming season, due to tremedous losses on the offense, that Coach and his assistance will most likely steer toward a more run-oriented, conservative game plan, nonetheless, he IS expecting to try to get the ball to A LOT of receivers this season. he DID say that for the most part of the first half of the season will probably be spent on finding an identity for the team. BUT he is not expecting to be conservative.
I don't know if this is another Coach's "in"famous politically correct, give-you-a-bunch-of-words-but-aint-tell-you-nothing interview technique, but it sure pumped me up hearing that from Coach that he "will" be aggressive. Hopefully, that is a positive sign on this otherwise highly anticipated/questioned season!!
