He would make a grerat governer, but give it 15 years or so...

I'd give him more than that! Maybe after 15 national championships... then maybe...

I did some checking up on this. There is some truth to the rumor that Tressel will be leaving Columbus some time after the TSUN game.

Apparently, it is not yet fully decided, so it is a rumor at this stage, but I have an inside friend in the program who says Tressel has had plans for a trip to Arizona, depending on achieving certain goals at Ohio State.

Tressel is not yet willing to discuss his plans, but apparently it involves the IT industry, not politics.

I'm not sure what it is in IT, but it seems pretty certain to be IT as it has to do with bringing hardware back to Columbus. I'll let others fill in details as these emerge but it looks like we just might lose him to Dell or one of those guys.

Senator Tressel

Coach Jim Tressel has earned the nickname "Senator" because of his clean-cut image and political style of speaking.

But on election day, he denied having any interest in running for office after his coaching days were done.

"No," he said several times to repeated questions.

Defensive tackle David Patterson, though, took up the issue.

"My mom and my grandma always think coach Tressel should have his own church or something, because he always knows the right thing to say and he’s always the sharp dresser," Patterson said. "So I definitely think if he ran for governor on the next goround that he might have a shot. Maybe we could start a new party, the Buckeyes Football Party."
