Coach Jim Tressel... The man responsible for every sweatervest you've ever bought.  The man who made us call an inept offense 'Tresselball' with a smile.  Oh yeah, that 310 day prediction, 9-1 against Michigan, & 2OT in Tempe. 

Yep, before NIL was a thing, discounted tattoos were deadly.   Some got a few, and Tressel knew!

That March Yahoo! Sports article was a slow dispensing death knell for his career.  Even led to a SIX GAME SUSPENSION for his 2011 'son in law job,' a 'replay consultant' for the Colts... Is that really a thing in football, replay consultant?

The IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH 2011
--No Pryor and others in 2011 (would've happened regardless of Tressel's status), created OSU's worst season since 1897.
--The vast unknown that was the NCAA's impending hammer.  They were eilte in the mid 2000's... never been back.
--Lost a 5 Star Recruit in Ohio to Michigan... Fortunately, no blood on the field.
--No QB Depth in 2011, led to this passing chart (Smile if you remember)
 

--Oh, does your blood still boil at the Walrus induced 10-7 loss to Michigan State?
