You dumb fucl<er.

Another jealous hater who has to come up with a fractured excuse to explain away Ohio State's legendary record.

Only Nick's Kumquats.

He did worse than lie. He lied under oath essentially by signing something he knew was a lie. Don't give me the hooker with the heart of gold routine. The guy is a fraud. The sooner we out people like this the better.

I still say the best of all time was Lou Holtz. You talk about leaving a trail of destruction everywhere he went along with pulling a Petrino in the NFL, yet he maintained and still maintains his schtick to a T and is still pulling in millions. That guy makes Tressel look like a rank amateur.

I don't hate Jim Tressel. He's a great football coach who did what he had to do to win. That's it. He is like pretty much every coach who coaches at these mega programs, no better, no worse, but in all liklihood better than most. Mack Brown and Jim Grobe got paid a million per win last year. Tressel was a bargain compared to them!! But Tressel got paid 20 to 30 million by the state of Ohio the last 10 or so years. Tressel sold his soul to win games at OSU. But so do 98 percent of D1 coaches in America. We need not feel sorry for him or think he got a bad deal or anything. It is what it is. And that's it.

And OJ did what he had to do too.

You tell me which mega program D1 coaches are 100 percent pure? I have no sympathy for Tressel and stated that in this thread. He deserves what he got.

No chance. I went to school there and saw the parking lot at football practice! My guess is he knew absolutely nothing about it! I'm pretty sure there was at least 1 rich alumni booster at PSU! I'm sure there was a chance Joe knew nothing about anything at the time, sort of like Tressel at Youngstown St and again at OSU.

Would Tressel have gotten fired if he hadn't lied and tried to cover up?

Guessing is a far cry from proving, Joe Pa's record stands on it's own...notice he's not on the highest paid list....
