I talked to a former "Owens" offensive guy Monday, he will be attending the spring game, so it "worked" in that manner. It's nice to see they are reaching out to former players. Does sound like a lot of info. PS That player asked how the golf outing was this past year. He had no idea they didn't have it. When I told him, he chuckled and said he used to love the outings.

Sounds like we have "spirited" down already in practice five. PS I wanted to put up this interview yesterday before it was released, but Xtranormal is charging now. I think it used to be free. This is an easy SNL skit. Writes itself.

Is everybody getting pumped for today's practice report? Anybody want to venture what we learn?

Fickell Takes Over Tressel's Duties. So does that mean that he has to start lying?

EXACTLY what I deduced.

I was mapping the exact same thing at lunch. I planned a Hamptons trip that will now cost me $20 to get there instead of $400. Now I have more money to spend at Main beach and the BBQ at Turtle Crossing.

I have never tried this, but I know a reliable friend (40 year old professional) that has, and she liked it. She said if you are going to drink alcohol, do it discreetly because they will kick you off if caught. "...passengers and provides WiFi wireless computer service, power outlets, reclining seats and a restroom"

I hope he stays. His stock will never be higher. Vulcans Made Smart Choice

From Spring Football Central, iCoach does an ad for Zips Live & the Tap House. He also hopes you go to the spring game on the 16th. Zips have practice #5 today.

Thanks Districtballer. Good luck. I misinterpreted "hot item on campus" when referring to the banner. Here is a source from the Richmond Times Dispatch on the banner. SI: Bubble to Final Four - VCU

You think they are going to script 60 plays and just go down the list? I would like to bet you on that. I'm pretty sure if I sat through a week of practice with Mr Liar and he let me use his game day play sheet, I would have no problem calling the first 5 games. I would guess any clown on the list above will do the same, some better than others. I'll guess anyone of those clowns makes adjustments as to what the Zips are doing defensively on the first couple of series. Believe it or not, I think calling the game will be an issue for Columbus U. Watch and see if the Buckeyes go three and out in the first possession how the fans react in the shoe. If you read the comments below the article, there are even Columbus fans that think this change will be great, they actually think they will "open up" the offense. I would not.

That is awesome. I was thinking yesterday I wanted to go back and see who offered their players and how many stars they got from rivals. But I'm lazy, so I'll just post this image from VCU's campus.

Who is going to call the offense against the Zips? - Bollman, offensive coordinator/offensive line - Nick Siciliano, quarterbacks - Dick "Doc" Tressel, running backs - Stan Drayton, wide receivers - John Peterson, tight ends Bollman and Doc Tressel, a former head coach at Division III Hamline University, look like the top two options for offensive play-calling. Drayton is entering his first season at Ohio State and will be working with receivers for the first time. Siciliano and Peterson haven't held coordinator posts. How will the offense change with Bollman and/or Doc Tressel calling plays? Keep in mind Ohio State also will be dealing with a new starting quarterback for the Akron game.

I'm pretty good at deciphering between marketing and reality. If I need to buy bud light, I go to a store, I don't bungee off a bridge to get it.

You realize that's marketing and not the name of the school right?

I feel it's disrespectful. Like calling Kareem Abdul Jabbar Lew Alcindor, yeah his name once was Lew, but it's not anymore. Does this look like the place you went to when they called it Akron U?

I read the article. I'm glad B got his own article, he deserves it. BUT I didn't really learn anything. Wish it was more "in depth." When I'm at the games, I pick at least a dozen plays where I only watch #34. It's a good way to realize what makes him good at what he does.

I find the original images creepy. When I searched for the originals to make sure they actually were original before commenting, I found others agree with me. (Even though I think Columbus took them down.) Best headline: IF YOU'D LIKE TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM JIM TRESSEL'S MAILING LIST, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

What concerns me more is the guy that would be hiring a new coach. I don't trust that he has my best interest at heart. I would feel better if KD hired the guy that replaces him. I believe KD has my best interest at heart.

Big Nut doesn't think it should.

I bet Akron U is thrilled...whoever that is.

Thanks for researching. It would be nice to have links so a reader has a chance to put in context.

All hail Gino Ford -- the new King of Peoria. "Oh no!?!"
