He lied at several different times during the investigation

Coach Tressel fucked up, he's paid/still paying for his fuck up, and THE OSU is paying for it now as well. However, we got Urban Meyer as a result, and things are right in Buckeye Nation again. Now, if we can only get rid of Gene Smith....

BTW, I wasn't going to say anything, but classyposter tore down the classy wall and others followed suit, so fuck it.

He tried to protect his players when he should have just left them on their own. But if you think he was doing it because he cared about W and L you are crazy. He truly cared about the players he recruited. Ask any of his former guys. They know he would have done anything for them because he thought of them as his own sons.

He was a legend. I am glad he was hoisted up. I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions and he was/is one hell of a guy. If you ask any hospital or charity in Columbus what they think of Jim Tressel, I'd bet they'd agree.

Clearly wanted to shake his hand, and I don't know I grew up always knowing to shake hands no matter what after games and there were times I wanted to kick that dudes ass. To me that's a low thing to do

WebFire;1329346 wrote:What an attempt to shake hands. :rolleyes:

Brady said the crowd on the field and the fact Urban was already interviewing on TV wasn't allowing it to happen. Urban and Hoke are ok with it. I'm sure they are terribly shaken that you aren't ok with it.

Hall, Howard, and Pitt Brown are not innocent
