Jim Tressel made his debut with WKYC and in the segment, he touches on team spirit, the power of the Olympics and the importance of personal achievements contributing to the team:
"I was once asked 'What's the most important characteristic of a championship team?' The word that popped into my mind was 'unselfishness'. Every championship team I've been with has been unselfish. Guys weren't worried about their rushing stats or how many tackles they made. They were concerned mostly with the team."
It was nice to see Tress on camera again and his message rings true, but he may have to add a little zest to his stories if he wants to make me a regular. We're going to need the dirt on the locker room after the '07 BCS Championship Game, or at the very least, a reflection on his halftime speech at the Superdome last January.

Funny, he didn't mention 'integrity'...
A little innuendo how he maybe fell on the sword for the univ. perhaps would rake in the viewers...
jus sayin. Why let truth get in the way of a good story? ;)
God do I love that man.

Tressel for president!
Wherever you are, there you be!
I will always have fond memories of Coach Tressel and it's good to see him spreading a positive message and being in the public eye once again.
How about they get rid of the news completely and just have "Several moments with Jim Tressel". And it airs on all stations. TV and radio. And Pandora.
I'll be sporting my Vest on Saturday
Go Bucks!
Damn it! There was not one single "and so forth". Come on Tress give the people what they want!
Tressel My hero, Great man, No idea why he would take one for that idiot pryor.

In Tressel We Trust!
"if irony were made of strawberries, we' d all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now."
I miss me some Tress, but indeed at times he can put you to sleep.
35 hours to Pasadena! Go Bucks!
I guess I'm the only one who just doesn't thing that Tress was the same guy that we all thought he was.
*think
Man, I miss that guy... But it hurts my eyeballs to see him wearing blue and yellow. Seriously.
Real fans stay for Carmen.
I miss Tress. For me, hiring Urban "we kicked your butt in 2007" Meyer was like hiring the Anti_Christ. But he has grown on me.
For me the scoresheet for Jim Tressel is and will always be all even; because he had to suffer through that one incredible punishment of walking intro the house, looking Ellen right in the eyes and telling her, "I just lost my job that pays $4.0 million a year". I can't imagine living through that moment and it will remain unequal with any other punishment they could have given him...

It is hard to play dirty against a man who picks you up.
Seems out of place in Zips colors and without the vest.
Tressel looks good. I'm thankful for all the good times he brought to OSU, and hope he has continued success in the future.
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
I love The Jim Tressel. But this ^^^^^ reminded me of this vvvvvv
