Fickell- "This team will be as one!"
Pryor- "How everyone gunna be me?"
Real reason Pryor left early.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.

****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
Unrelated, but ESPN has been displaying a news blurb on its bottom line that says something like "Last week, Jim Tressel did not attend the rules seminar that was part of his punishment."
Um... why would he?
What is probably important about that (in the eyes of eSECpn) is that by foregoing the mandated class, JT is probably indicating that he is done with college coaching forever. No surprise on our front, but the talking heads will hound it none the less.
"There's a fine line between reality and perception" Luke Fickell
Sounds kinda familiar...;-)
"We will have a goal this year to lead the nation in 3 categories: effort, turnovers, and toughness"
I like it...lets just hope the O gets a bit more aggressive. I hope/pray that Fickell won't be nearly as conservative as Tressel was.

Ugly is ugly. Boring is boring. Grow a pair and take some risks. Believe in your players to get the job done.
