Is the TOSU/Tressle honeymoon over yet???

Wasn't aware that honeymoons lasted for 8 years and included a BCS Championship.

I'd be happy to greet Tressel with an orange sweater-vest if the Buckeyes want him off their hands.

completely absurd. The guy is doing a helluva job recruiting kids to freaking Columbus Ohio and has been in as many NC games this decade as anyone. OBTW, he won one of those.

So...in a word, NO.

No, fans are sick of him not attempting to score touchdowns.

Most believe that Tressel wants the offense and punter to put their defense in a position to score.

They again demonstrated their prowess on the field. They are/have been consistent losers when faced with real competition. They do well playing against the second and third tier teams or against other Big 10 teams. They are a real powerhouse in their own minds. They are a great team in their press releases.

Afterall, Ohio State is just being Ohio State.

Tressle may end up walking the trestle just to get out of Columbus without being tarred and feathered.

Tressle is safe. Afterall, his team plays better football than any other in the Big 10. And don't forget the Buckeyes beat their instate rival aned perennial powerhouse, Youngstown State.

Guaranteed Contract Renewal. If he beats Youngstown State again next year, he'll surely have a big raise for 2010.

The mere fact that this is the topic of a thread is evidence of the insanity of most of the football fanbase.

...................and BYU destroyed them. I found it funny to hear what Phil said when he heard the BYU had won by so many.

let's face it. this OSU team is full of headcases. Did you read the quotes from the players before the game? they obviously put way too much pressure on themselves to win this game because of what happened previously against LSU and Florida. They are reminding me of texas: pre vince young. if they can find a leader at QB who wont freak out, they'll win.

Columbus isn't exactly Pullman, WA or Moscow, ID. It's one of the largest cities in the country and also had no pro sports competition until eight years ago.

Second, pretty much every kid growing up in Ohio wants to go to Ohio State, even if their family is affiliated with another school in the state (of which there are plenty).

Third, Ohio is top-five every year in high school talent, which is really saying something because there's no spring ball in high school. All Tressel has to do is walk into a kid's home anywhere in the state and say "Would you like to come to Ohio State?" and he'll have a top-five recruiting class every single year.

Tressle is running skeered, for instance he couldn't wait to fill his quota of DBs this year and left D J Hunter

A vol baby!!!!

With the media, yes I feel that it's over and the overhype of osu has started its descent.

With the fans however, as long as he keeps beating michigan and keeps winning the pac-10/getting them to a rose bowl (those things are kinda one in the same) they'll keep loving him

Hasn't Michigan beaten Tosu every time they hired a new coach??

And how about that pesky SEC reject over at Illinois???

As a matter of fact there are several programs in that league showing signs of life this year.

The circling sharks could be smelling blood in the water.

I'm just sayin'.............

yeah but OSU has beaten michigan like 4 years in a row now and 6 outa last 7 and regardless of illinois and the others (who i agree are finally starting to show signs of life) OSU keeps ending up big 10 champs for the last 3 years...so even if one of these other teams steps up and beats them annually, well it'd be kinda like if we somehow managed to beat UF every year but they still won the sec championship, the UF fans would still be pretty happy w/ meyer

This could be the start of them going downhill though, i can feel for that. But it's going to be a while longer before most fans start calling for tressels head

I don't think you understand the Oh st fans the way I do.

After this week they face five teams in a row who could beat them and then in Nov they have Northwestern, Ill and Mich.

The Tosu fans have about as much loyalty as Florida fans, meaning none.

Down to the basics means he must beat Michigan, when that doesn't happen, the Tosu seat can get hot.

One thing is for certain, Oh fans are thinking Tressel may be suspect to the "can't win the big game" handle, trounced by Florida, trounced by LSU, trounced by So Cal after they built it up to be such a big game.

I don't know if you are being serious or not... but if he does get put on the hot seat this year, what does that say about UT football?

I agree that recruiting for Ohio St isn't that hard but it's not like Tressel's only bringing in kids from Ohio. Pryor, two of the top OL last yr Michael Brewster and JB Shugarts, the top ILB Etienne Sabino, HB Jamal Berry next year are all from out of state. About all of these guys are ranked in the top 2-3 for their positions.

Anyway, in Columbus, no one's calling for Tressel's head but people are furious at the coaching staff. It's early and not sure if it'll happen, but many want both coordinators gone. I'm pretty sure the whole "cocky OSU fan" thing is gone for now. Even before the USC game hardly anyone was talking smack. I haven't even heard the whole "we would've won if Beanie was healthy" excuse either. 3 bad losses in not even 2 years time will do that to you.
