Allow the historian born in the late 80's to correct you here 86:

There is one very BIG diffrence in the "first 7 years"..

Tressel inherited a very talented team. Woody built his.

These are two great coaches, but two diffrent coaches. In terms of numbers, JT is on pace to be "greater" but without Woody, there is no JT.

Granted, Tressel "inhereted" a very talented team, yet a team that Cooper couldn't do jack-shit with. As a matter of fact, Cooper had quite a few teams during his tenure that he couldn't do shit with, I won't name the years because you're a Buckeye fan and you know them already.

What Tressel walked into was a bunch of talented kids that were ecstatic to be playing at TOSU that had no clue from their coaching staff in regards to what their real "mission" was. Think back to Mike Doss' return announcement. If Cooper was still here, Doss was good as gone. Somehow in a single season Coach Tressel was able to instill into these young men what it was really about to be a Buckeye. The next 6 years speak for themself. Tressel loves TOSU more than any person on the planet, same as Coach Hayes did.

Oh, by the way, screw Dick-Rod.

My thoughts exactly. Tressel adds direction and leadership in areas Cooper couldn't. Without JT we don't win in 2002. I think that season alone aged me 10 years.

College football: OSU approves Tressel's appearances

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH




Jim Tressel has abided by the rules on appearances at banquets and functions connected to fundraising, and such appearances are cleared through the Ohio State athletic department compliance office first, an OSU spokesman said yesterday.
An article on Yahoo.com said, among other things, that Ohio State was looking into an upcoming appearance by Tressel at a March 5 banquet-fundraiser for a K-8 school promoted by Cincinnati LaSalle High School, which produced recent OSU signee DeVier Posey.
Doug Archie, OSU's associate athletic director for compliance, forwarded to a Yahoo reporter the school's interpretation of such rules, showing that Tressel has been well within boundaries.

Yeah, I heard this guy talking on the radio last night, ripping college BB coaches like they had raped his daughter or something.
I had never heard him before.
He came off like a totally arrogant deuchebag. In other words, he's just like 90% of all sports "commentators" these days.
