Tressel PSU half time rant

  • Commander of Awesome
    Glad it worked, this isn't something you can just do everygame, I hope he picked the right game.

    Well I disagree with condemning JT, thought maybe you were doing so. No big deal either way, everyone has an opinion, especially DURING the game.

    Agreed... I have no ties whatsoever to OSU. Just route for them. So I disagree with condemning anyone (player or coach) before, during, or after a game. But, that's for a-whole-nother discussion :)

    Yeah, well I got ties that pass your eye test as evidenced by your little bit-o-time passing on the "buckeye fans are douches" thread...Honor defend lol

    Then you would pass my (meaningless) test :) But those are just my (meaningless) opinions :)

    I know this was said tongue-in-cheek, 'cause you're normally not one to troll...however, it's got to be tough rooting for a team with a low life, scumbag of a coach like DickRod--I feel sorry for ya', webbie....GO BUCKS!!!

    No need to feel sorry for me. Those are your feelings, not mine. ;)

    I'm shocked that anyone would expect anything less. I mean how many of you have ever been in a locker room when you played like shit for a half? The coach is supposed to call guys out and tell them he expects more.

    Quit making this a bigger deal than what it is. And what it is, is what every coach in America does on a regular basis.

    The differences is that all indications seem to say that this is something Tressel has never really done before. Had he done something similar at Wisconsin we would have heard about it then and people wouldn't be saying much about this half time tirade.

    Well that's a problem then, IMO.

    You can hardly argue with the overall results though. Do players get lax from time to time, of course, the fact that Tressel has been able to keep up the intensity (again for the most part) with out going ballistic is a testament to his communication abilities and coaching staff.

    Here's the interview with Pryor following the game. Obviously it made an impression on him.

    I agree Dynasty...my one knock on Tress has always been he needs to show a little more emotion, both in the lockeroom and and on the sideline. It aint' the Fkn NFL...college kids need a kick in the azz sometimes and they usually respond positively to it.
  • ytownfootball
    He has been a day late and a dollar short a few times I won't argue that.

    If you are reffering to the coach yelling at his players ,you have got ot be kidding me ...

    LOL, no. I'm referring to fans getting pissed at the players and the coach. Refer to the thread about "OSU fans being douche bags" (created by Sportsnlady) for the full story. Hell yes a coach should yell, and get pissed at his players! But why a fan (who has no ties to a school) should get pissed, is beyond me.

    Halftime and pregame talks are like political speeches ..The diff between pregame and halftime is halftime cant be thought out or scripted so thouroughly...Give JT credit although he probably did something similar at YSU some time ago ...But that game might have just sent him over the top and everything flowed like a river ....It does happen .....This is a vital talent in the head coaches arsonnel...Being able to fire up his troops before going to battle is a gift ... I have seen a few .... Good stuff................... God I love football ..Best sport ever created....and Ohio State makes the whole state proud ....We all come together for the Buckeyes in this state ...

    Did you read his post? He's against condemning someone who yells at them.

    He thinks it's O.K. to yell at them.

    touche', but be honest--how do you feel about Rodriguez being not only the coach, but the face of your team?
  • Tiger2003
    I love the comments Pryor makes about Veterans day.
  • End of Line
    Good to see this side of Tressell.

    Well, supposedly we'll get to see if this is accurate because 97.1 FM The Fan in Columbus is supposed to be playing audio of the speech at 1:45pm today. Here's a link to their website where you can listen to live streaming audio.
