I didn't like the way Mark isolated football players as having nice cars while basketball players seemed to get a pass because he was around them everyday.

the basketball players' cars, as a whole, don't at all compare to the football players' cars. his ex-teammates don't just get a pass but don't even need one.

Yea, that's why I acknowledged that he's closer to the situation that I am. It's amazing how this situation is dividing players and fans. :(

Kid has All-American written all over him if he can stay on the field. I wasnt sure about him the first two years here but the way he's blossomed as a player has been fantastic to watch. Stay healthy and achieve your potential Tyler!

Rob Oller commentary: Tressel's advice still plays for Moeller
Thursday, July 14, 2011
By Rob Oller
The Columbus Dispatch

The Ohio State football office houses a new coach in Luke Fickell, but the old boss still has residence in the heart and mind of nickel back Tyler Moeller.

When you spend five seasons, as Moeller has, listening to Jim Tressel tell you not to worry about what you cannot control, it sinks in deep. And so Moeller, perhaps more than any other Buckeyes player, is smoothly moving forward despite the drama that has brought a TMZ-meets- 60 M inutes feel to the past seven months.

"A trigger goes off in me: Work hard, get through it and do what you can because you can't do anything about it," Moeller said, echoing his former coach's line of reasoning.

These are intriguing times at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. This squarely is becoming Fickell's team. The 37-year-old is inspiring a new climate - hotter emotionally - if not a completely new culture. But while Fickell is filling players' heads with new commands issued in new cadences, the wisdom of Tressel remains imbedded in those with whom he had the most contact.

Nothing unusual there. The fateful twist is that Moeller is forced to implement Tressel's lessons on how to deal with distractions precisely because of distractions Tressel helped implement by keeping knowledge of NCAA violations to himself. Who knew The Winners Manual included a chapter on French existentialist literature?

"Whatever happens, happens," Moeller said, sounding equal parts Tressel and Jean Paul Sartre.

Moeller happy to be back

By his own admission, Tyler Moeller is a bit rusty. But any bit of frustration about that is vastly outweighed by the joy he feels at simply being back on the field.

Moeller?s 2009 season was wiped out when he was punched at a bar while on a family vacation. He eventually needed brain surgery. His 2010 season ended when he suffered a torn left pectoral muscle against Illinois.

The NCAA granted him a sixth year of eligibility in November.

?I?m very grateful to be out here and be able to play with my teammates,? Moeller said. ?It?s a great feeling to be moving on from everything that?s happened.?

Moeller plays the ?star? position on defense, a hybrid safety-linebacker most often deployed in passing situations. A hard-hitter with a knack for big plays, Moeller is considered integral to the Buckeyes defense.

?Physically, I feel pretty good,? he said. ?I?m wearing a brace (on his arm) right now, but it?s not really affecting me. I?m still working out the kinks, but I feel pretty good.?

He said he?ll be 100 percent by the opener on Sept. 3 against Akron and is looking forward to the start of full-contact practice.

?I love hitting,? he said. ?I love the toughness of the game. I?m looking forward to getting in pads tomorrow and getting after things.?
