I remember him getting in a bar fight on High St when I was there... Guy's come a long way.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I transferred to OSU Tressel's first year. I actually took Tressel's coaching football class the fall quarter of the '02 NC season. There were a few shady things I saw from some of the players, mostly from guys that transferred out shortly after JT started. A funny one that stands out. I was in a general elective Biology class with about 500 students. By random chance, I was a lab group of 4 with an All-American defensive player (and a 1st round NHL player). For the first test, the football player sat next to me and was blatantly copying. Lets just say, I was pretty average when it came to science classes and he didn't sit next to me on test day the rest of the quarter.
My last year there was the year before... They were outta control back then. Kenyon Rambo robbed somebody on campus. A LB named Joe Cooper was in my logic class. He stopped showing up half way through the quarter. Top basketball recruit named Damon Stringer beat my buddy's ex wife's brother's ass, and got the boot for it.
I was acquaintances with Tyson Walter... He had a quick stint with the Cowboys, but became the most famous for pressing charges on LeCharles Bentley years after he punched him in practice.
I wonder if they've cleaned up the athletic department or if I'm just too far away to know about all of this anymore.
