THE OLD DAYS: Jim Tressel's coaching career began in 1975 when he was a graduate assistant at Akron. He was asked his duties, which prompted a 5-minute comedy routine from the normally dour coach.
He said he made coffee and copies and worked with the scout team while coaching the junior varsity. He had a huge responsibility at away games.
"In the middle of the fourth quarter, regardless of the score, I went and ordered the McDonald's. It didn't matter, it could have been tied and going to overtime, but I went and ordered the McDonald's," he said. "I'd hand the McDonald's out and then go get in the car and drive the coaches' wives home."
Asked how many wives there were, he said, "Four or five. In a station wagon, with wood on the side."
He also would take the game films to a shop on Carnegie Avenue in Cleveland and wait around outside until 3 a.m. to bring it back to Akron. He did get to work with the quarterbacks, and (sort of) helped with conditioning.
"I worked in the strength area, which you can probably tell," he said with a laugh, flexing his arms.
Tressel, who got his master's degree from Akron, also taught classes in bowling, team handball and swimming.
"I'm not a great swimmer," he said. "So we never left the shallow end. Because I wasn't going in for anybody."

Tressel holds the punt close to his heart
Coach expects Trapasso to play big role against Washington
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS - The Ohio State Buckeyes spent a lot of time Saturday admiring that long, bright green carpet that now covers the floor of Ohio Stadium. Thanks to exceptionally poor field position, especially in the first half, they got to see just about all of that new FieldTurf rug and mustered only three points in those first two quarters.

Goes For Three
I owe Jim an apology.
When he went to NO to study how to use two backs in a set, I said to myself "Bollocks. He would never put two backs in the same set."
Well, good ole Jim went and done it. We're seeing two back sets all the time. And now that we have three quality backs to play around with, he's really using them to his advantage. I love Jim Tressel.

Who is the doppleganger masquerading as Jim Tressel? That can't be JT that called a Post with 3 minutes left to play in the Washington game when OSU was up 10?
I like it though!:)

Taking Crazy Pills
thats funny, me and a few buddies were talking about how the next play was going to be a run because its Tressel but we wouldn't mind a pass.. I guess thats what the other team was thinking too? Good call JT.Best part of this game, and the turning point, was on the blocked kick Tressel running out pumping his fists and yelling at the guys on special teams. Can't imagine how fired up that got the entire team, and from that moment we began to dominate, good win.
