I just hope no one posting how "beautiful" this is are the same people who say we need to "move on" when we talk about the bad part of the Tressel era or those still responsible for current issues on the squad.
It's funny how these people are so willing to say 'move on' when you are discussing a legitimate weakness of the Tressel era, but don't seem to see a problem with keeping the era fresh (or another way to say it, not moving on) when they want to tout Tressel's "greatness."

I have no problem with mentioning Tressel or the era in any context, but I don't like this hypocrisy from his apologists where when you state factually the failings of his era, their retort is to "move on" yet they continue to post these articles.
I hate to shoot down your theory, but we have heard the details and it only makes Tress look bad. It's only a rush to judgment if you form your opinion early on. As the facts come in, the only people who look silly are the apologists. Most Buckeye fans accept this instead of the counterfactual history of the apologists. That doesn't mean people don't like or respect Tressel. Plenty of people continue to like people even when they are not what matched their public image. I don't think it's much of a dispute that Tressel is not the image he tried to craft. What really bothers me is the people who say move on when people bring up the negatives, but are happy to post all the positives.

Tressel already said he told the whole story... Do you think he's lying again like he already did 3x to the NCAA?
Btw, why don't people have this same humility towards our ad who cleaned Tressel crap up?

Pula, bottom line is the guy won. 5 out of 8 in BCS games, 9 out of 10 against scUM. You need to realize how lucky we were to have him. Not saying he was perfect, but a fine man.
