UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio -- Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel told people at a rally on his front doorstep that he would always be a Buckeye and that the team will beat Michigan again this November.
After a crowd of some 200 people had sung a song disparaging the archrival Wolverines early Saturday evening, Tressel said, "Don't forget: Nov. 27th we're going to kick their ass!"

Don't forget: Nov. 27th we're going to kick their ass!
? -- Jim Tressel at doorstep fan rally regarding Michigan game​

That brought the loudest cheer of the day from the group, which had walked a half mile in 90-degree heat from a rallying point at a nearby park to Tressel's expansive French Provincial home in this Columbus suburb near campus.
Tressel was forced to resign Monday for his role in covering up his knowledge of his players taking improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.
Those in the rally cheered, sang the alma mater and held up signs that said, "You're in Our Prayers," "We Support You, Jim!" and "We Love You, Coach Tressel."
Tressel and his wife, Ellen, posed for dozens of pictures, shook hands and thanked those in attendance.

I'd say about 200 people or so. Not a bad showing, and I think JT truly appreciated it. I got to speak with him, get a picture. He seemed to be very positive and was wearing a OSU polo.

Memorable quotes he shouted to the crowd:

"Buckeye born and bred, Buckeye til I'm dead"

"Come November 26th, we're going to kick their ass!"



I'm real glad I went, felt real worth it.

Also we had a huge storm come through. That may have modified the numbers showing as well. It came after the event, but everyone assumed it was going to be around 2-3pm starting.

Wish I could've been there.

My buddy went and said it was great, Tress was very appreciative. I was tied up with some post-Memorial tournament festivities, wish I could've went.
