Dime A Dozen

The armchair quarterbacks are a dime a dozen this week of course. Guess it's time to write my chill out post.

Watched Tressel's press conference today and some of the reporters were in their vulture costumes, while others there with their offensive guru pedigrees. Friends and relatives have all told me what was wrong with the play calling last Saturday. Had a coach tell me the Bucks needed to open it up...course that coach's own team obviously didn't play Tressel ball last Friday night, turning the ball over I think at least 5 or 6 times in their loss.

What I can't understand....with all these offensive wonders out there....why isn't someone snapping them up? I mean surely there are college teams out there, or maybe the Lions or Browns or Bengals that would die for such offensive brain power, to say nothing of paying big bucks for it. If these folks know so much football, why are they pounding a sports beat or driving a truck or sweeping a floor or selling insurance or whatever it is they are doing? Makes one wonder.

As for me, last Saturday I saw a very young team (a team that lost twenty some Seniors) go toe to toe and nose to nose with the #3 team and premier program in the nation. I'll take that. Tressel Ball is still just fine and I'll stake my faith in the man in the vest for the long haul.
