Met Jim Tressel the other day...

Coach Tressel talked to my son's high school football team monday night (Tressel is good friends with one of the dads). He spoke for 40 minutes without a note in front of him on topics like attitude, heart, education and what it takes to succeed. Thought it was funny that at one point he jokingly made fun of the intelligence of lineman and pointed at my son (Center). He obviously did not know that my son has a 4.4 GPA ha ha. Problems at Ohio State aside, he did a great job and I am sure that was an experience these kids won't soon forget.

But the phone call was not all that he did. The following week my two male cousins were invited to meet Mrs. Tressel at their house so that they could attend the OSU/MSU game together in Columbus and sit with Mrs. Tressel during the game. They got to go out onto the field and meet the players, speak with them, etc. My Aunt and her daughter were also offered free tickets for a "Spa Day" (guess they weren't interested in the game).
His mistakes at OSU were obviously some very large ones. But the guy that went to all that trouble during the football season and did all of this for people he didn't even know gained a lifetime of respect from my family.
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
