I got to here and stopped:
The excuses in that posts are overwhelming. The truth is, Tressel is a choke artist. The team enjoys wins all year and the stats of being #1 until they meet a real team. I don't think that any team in the Big 10 is going to handle USC, LSU, or UF so how the fuck is the above quote valid in any sense of the word?
If you build team A to beat beat teams B and C and then team D kills your ass, wouldn't you think that building a team like D would be more appropriate? Team D is also going to kill B and C. To say you're building a team to handle regional competition is bogus. This is why Tressel is a fraud. Fuck his record. When it comes right down to it, he can't perform.
