It is time to devote ourselves at WTF Detroit to pay our respects to the best coach in college football today.
Jim Tressel is one of those rare coaches whose presence is felt on the field, and by those who watch and love college football.
He is a bad man.
This is a thread devoted, with grudging resepct, to the Sweatervest. You can hate Ohio State all you want, but you must admire this man among men.

http://www.sociology.ohio-state.edu/UndergradProgram/Karyl/tressel.jpg

GREAT thread. How he wasn't in the Tournament of Cool is beyond me.

And the best part is: the more you admire Jimmy, the less a loss to OSU hurts!

You are so right. Sooner or later, Thee Sweatervest will get ya.

Jim Tressel can divide by zero.

Here is a picture of Jim Tressel's wallet:

If Jim Tressel was black:

If Jim Tressle was Japanese:

Thank gawsh Ann Arbor isn't in Japan!

If he was Jewish:

If he was English:

You two underestimate Tressel. He was black, he was Godzilla. Then he decided to wear a a sweatervest and be white. Unknown to most people, he decided to be black again for a while and played Morpheus and there were no special effects.

Jim Tressel's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

If he had insomnia next Tuesday and decided to write a book before breakfast:

Religions are all the same to me. After all, Tressel wrote all of its holy books.

Jim Tressel may be great, but Michigan's uniforms are still SOOPER!

So you're saying Tressel > Tahoe?

Would you kill a wolverine?

I wouldn't need to, they worship me.

Well, who's going to worship you after James Patrick Tressel slaughters them?

Grasshoppper, your powers to know the future are misguided.

if i were in charge i'd swat the shit out of this thread.

The sweater vest is the only thing with power here.

Go ahead, keep saying that kind of stuff and hoping you'll be able to sleep safely in your own home

That is clearly a pic of DrTre and bukdow with the Tressel's head photoshopped on both of their bodies. Nice try.

And the award for most bad ass warrior goes to...

Damn, you could tell I photoshopped that? LOL

bump

Are you doing a name change a week timbeau/mich/mailman/neifi?

That's not a bad idea.

Well if you ever need help with name ideas, I'm here to help.

Thanks! I'm not creative...

I don't know if this is a tongue in cheek dealio but I'll bite. The guy is a great coach. I was watching him on the sideline against JoPa. His head is IN THE GAME. No detail lacks attention. His play calling (and I don't know that he does this but his input is there for sure) is imaginative as hell. He is always a couple of moves ahead (throw that meddlesome Gator display out the window). I wonder how married he is to the Buckeyes especially if these guys win out (I don't think they will) and another NC lands in C-Bus? If Romeo Cranell shits the bed in Brownsville does he take over there? Just a gut but I think the guy was born to coach collegians. He's the best in the Big 11 and in the conversation for sure as best in the college game.

I've always wondered if Bobby Knight is jealous of all the credit that Tressel gets for his inclusion of the sweater as his trademark piece of clothing.

Tressel has done more for the sweater in 7 years than Knight has over his whole career.

Hey, let's turn this into a sweater discussion thread.

Bill Cosby and Larry Brown, discuss.

IT'S A SWEATER VEST, BOOTLICK!

The sweater vest's connection to the sweater is far from tenuous.

You gonna post any pictures of the Tressel and pay your respects?

I like this one:

Whooping ass can get boring sometimes.

Can anyone confirm/deny the rumors Jim Tressel coached Al "Touchdown" Bundy in HS?

He didn't but I'll bet Tressel had a roll in the hay with this:

and that

Jimmy kills badgers with his bare hands as well.

Jim can kiss my big, white, hairy, pimply ass.

get in the corner, Tahoe!

Who would portray Jim Tressel in "True Champion: The Jim Tressel Story"?

God?

:tressel:

Jim Tressel makes Chuck Norris cry for mercy just by looking at him.

Though I like that this thread is picking up steam, this is the kind of shit you get when A Sparty invades.

Has this thread officially "jumped the shark"?

Balkan is like Jimmy in a way. Everything that gets in Tressel's way gets destroyed, like how every thread does when Balkan posts in it.

You'll all see Tressel's bad ass self in action tomorrow.

Case in point: Tressel calling for the knee, to show that he puts the "ASS" as in "bad ass" in "class".

"What the fuck kind of question is that? New coach at Michigan? So??"

I'll admit to the obvious dominance, and even to a bit of sour grapes, but I'm still waiting for the NCAA to wake up from their nap. That governing body has been asleep at the wheel for too long. Ignorance towards violations and no playoff are my evidence.

In the meantime, whether I think he runs a clean program or not, I give it up for Tressel's game strategy.

just don't understand how EVERY Michigan fan in the world knows that Tressel is the dirty, yet the NCAA can;t figure it out.
Perhaps we need to have you Michigan fans running the NCAA.

Tressel is shaking in his pink pumps right about now!

your right, what in the world would give us the idea that their was something dirty involved with mo clarrett??

oh, he was just one player who jsut played one year you say? and that was just one championship too??

i dont get it, and i dont get this thread. its crappy to bukdow proportions.

http://www.coachtressel.com/images/Tressel_Jim_family.jpg

I wish my family was full of winners.

The two on the left were put up for adoption the same day the picture was taken (no OSU colors).

The one on the right sneezes his dad's shit ( = brown nose).

The mom starts drinking chocolate martinis by 8am because that hand on her shoulder is the closest her husband has gotten to her since the two on the left were born (they're twins).

The dog is stapled to her lap.

LOL

I would be willing to see the daughters in Area 51.

What about in the champagne room?

lol, Jethro thinks he can get some insider recruiting info from them

Haha.

lol, Jethro thinks he can get some inside them
Edited for everyone else's viewing pleasure.
Don't act like you weren't all thinking it!

I meant champagne - my bad. I think I lost access to both when I went AWOL.

You sure you didn't request that it be removed?

I can't remember removing access from anybody once it was given.

Access restored, in any case.

Tressel's modesty is his best characteristic.

I like his wax figure impression as well.

Tressel sent his players home for the Holidays with a DVD of the National Title game from last year.

Now THAT'S ruthless.

This could be fun.

I'll be disspointed if there are no questions about winning titles with ineligable players and getting away with it.

Or what the point of showing up on November 22nd is.

Greg (Utah): Coach, I saw you on First Take, but no sweater vest? What gives? How many vests do you own?

Jim Tressel: (1:10 PM ET ) Well, it's nearly 90 degrees here in Bristol. Had I known it was going to be 60 degress on set, I would have worn one. But I did kind of vacilate of whether I should break out the vest. We have two kinds, the Nike Scarlet and the Nike Gray. We wear the Scarlet when we're wearing white and Gray when we're wearing red so the players can see this little body on the sidelines.


Nathan-Columbus, OH: Is it true you're a woodworker? If so, did you make that desk in your office? Go Bucks!

Jim Tressel: (1:17 PM ET ) It's true that I enjoy good woodworking and do have a good workshop. My son Zak is an excellent wood worker. I am not. He made a pool table. No, I did not make the desk in my office. That was not my workmanship. One of the things I'd like to do when my coaching career is over, is perhaps trying to get that skill of being a woodworker.

Chris (Ohio): Hey Coach, I was just wondering what's the plan for Terrelle Pryor this season?

Jim Tressel: (1:18 PM ET ) Well, from what I gather, he's been working hard in the weight room. In the summer, we're not permitted to coach him. In preseason, we'll give him the opportunity to show how he can internalize our system and build on his strengths. Perhaps with his ability and work ethic he can make a difference in 2008.

What a bunch of bullshit, he has no idea what Pryor is up to, I'm sure.

Jim Tressel: (1:25 PM ET ) It's great to be a Buckeye!

People think Jimmy's sweater vests are scarlet, when, in actuality, they are a lovely deep shade of Rose.
