I'd feel a certain way about it if damn near every coach in CFB wouldn't have done the same thing Tressel did....they just haven't been asked the question. My dad tells me stories of the Cadillac Cornelius Greene would drive around campus with "Corny" written and affixed to the car in place of the word Cadillac. I would be surprised if Woody didn't know about it....but he makes everybody's list without question. Is the only difference that Tressel got caught?
Jim Tressel won 9 of 10 against M*ch*g*n. I thought that was the way things were measured around here.
Besides, I kinda prefer having a coach that's a duplicitous, cutthroat SOB as long as there's no actual crime involved. Defending the moral high ground is a waste of energy when it comes to college football. Leave that fake gentlemanly posturing to has-beens like M*ch*g*n, who have nothing else to hang their hats on.
Just one guys opinion but where Tressel lost me was always putting up the Ned Flanders front while being something far from it in reality. I always found it arrogant and condescending.
If you want to be an edgy son of a bitch then fine, just be somewhat honest about it. Don't think you can give some gasbag senatorial bullshit answer to everything, smile and dismiss me while I'm too fucking stupid or in such awe of your football coaching status to question it.
Always love him for 9-1 and the 2002 NC. Not my favorite human being.
