I’ve been an Ohio State fan as long as I can remember. Having said that, I believe it would be foolish to make a scapegoat of Coach Tressel. Granted, OSU has lost 6 straight non-conference high profile games on nat’l TV, including 2 NCs. However, how many schools can claim a NC in the last decade as OSU can? So what if the majority of players on the 2002 team were not his recruits. You win with the talent at hand and JT must have pushed the right buttons at the time. Furthermore, what does it say about tOSU as a academic institution which some have claimed is simply a glorified “football factory” and whose student-athlete graduation rate is somewhere below 75% ? Do we cave in to the boosters and re-inforce that mantra even more? I say with a resounding NO that OSU is in good hands w/Tressel but he DOES need to defer the offensive play calling to a coordinator. He’s too close to the “vest.”

Things I learned in this convo:

- You’re not cool unless your name ends with “bo”.
- The Internet is not real.

No worries TB. Anyone that is a regular on here knows that your heart is in the right place.

Thanks Robb. You guys may find this hard to believe, but I do worry about whether I’m too pushy with my opinions or not. I don’t want to come off as being disrespectful, so please let me know when or if I cross the line.

Tombo: This a place for discussion but you seem particularly angry that not everyone agrees with you. I respect your opinion even if I do not agree. I do not respect your style. Based upon your comments you don’t respect anyone’s opinion but your own.

I’m not talking down Carrol but you can’t dismiss the fact that he loses games he should win on an annual basis. Yes, JT does lose to Northwestern every once in a while but not on such a regular basis.

Who would you rather see a the helm of the Buckeyes? Please just answer the question versus ripping my point of view apart.

Realist- At least be original with your screen name.

Your obvious attept to mock Tom Blogical with your name “Tom Realist” is neither original nor is is funny. Blogical is one of the most respected guys in here. Even though I do not agree with him 100%, I respect his insight.

Now until you can write something intelligent, go away.

Why is Ohio State paying Jim Tressel some $3 million to coach the Buckeyes, when they could be paying Tom Realist to coach them instead? Buffoons.
