My apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but I haven't seen it mentioned so I thought I would ask. A former player I know that played for Coach Tressel was talking about an e-mail Coach Meyer sent out to all former players (he said he got it today, 12/22). To paraphrase, the former player said he always was and always will be a Coach Tressel and Coach Fickell supporter/fan/believer, but that he has no doubts that the program is in great hands (because of whatever was said in this e-mail). However, he never did say what was in the e-mail. I was wondering if anyone else heard anything about it, or knows what it contained.

Dear Former Buckeye Football Players:
As the new Head Football Coach of The Ohio State University Football Team, I extend a special welcome and invitation to all former Buckeye players to join us whenever your schedules allow. The greatness of The Ohio State University and its proud and hallowed traditions come from your contributions and your continued support and attendance of any events that you wish to attend which emphasizes the importance of the great Buckeye Nation.
I also urge you to renew acquaintances and memories of your time in Columbus. While attending The Ohio State University, you contributed to making it a Premier Academic institution that ranks in the top 1% of colleges and universities in the Nation. As you tour the campus, the Woody Hayes Athletic Facility and Ohio Stadium, I am sure that you will feel the energy and excitement of our student athletes and staff, and see the continued growth of Buckeye Football consistent with the tradition that all of you contributed to building.
The tradition of the Big 10 Conference and National Championships at The Ohio State University are consistent with the expectations of all former players and alumni. I know that such expectations were a part of the legacies of great Hall of Fame coaches Woody Hayes, Earle Bruce, John Cooper and future Hall of Famer Jim Tressel.
I can only commit to you that I will recruit the best student athletes, coach them as hard as possible to give the maximum effort for four to six seconds on every play in every game on every Saturday that they represent “The Ohio State University.” With intensity and emotion, I am confident that your Buckeye Pride along with your support and loyalty will be rewarded by a hard hitting, dedicated and tough effort from your Buckeye Football Team.
Former Buckeye players and Buckeye alumni and friends everywhere built the great legacy of The Ohio State University. Your loyalty, contributions and sacrifices are sacred and appreciated by all of us. Shelley and I welcome you and pledge to you that your 2012 Buckeye Football Team will add to the legacy of Ohio Stadium.
GO BUCKEYES!
Urban Meyer

Even TP? That reply wins.
I received mine earlier this week. Was quite impressed that he took time to write and reach out to us. JT basically had the same policy for former players.
