I was watching this replay of the Oregon game and, just before the coin toss, Jim Tressel and Jeff Heuerman embrace each other. It reminded me that this team's deepest core, its most valued leaders (the seniors), are rooted in Jim Tressel. He brought them here. He still had a deep impact on this team. In my opinion, that makes this national championship a little more special, but I also just love Jim Tressel.
