Tressel: No beef with Rodriguez
New Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez reportedly has spoken to several recruits who have made oral commitments to other Big Ten programs. Without mentioning each other by name, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and Rodriguez have fired broadsides at each other, with Tressel complaining that coaches should lay off athletes who have indicated where they want to go and Rodriguez saying he'll continue to recruit players until they actually sign a letter of intent. Tressel restated how Ohio State handles such a situation. "If a guy is not interested in coming to Ohio State, and he says that, we've got to move on," he said. Tressel said he and Rodriguez have "no beefs at all."

I can see where Tressel is coming from, if a guy says hes not interested in coming to your school then screw him. But, Rodriguez is in a completely different situation where kids were decommiting from Michigan just because Carr left. Rodriguez has to make up for that lost talent. College football. like it or not, is big business, coaches are salesman, you dont stop selling till the deal is over!

Tres$$eLL is full of it. He will and does go after kids who have verbals from other schools. He'd be negligent as a coach if he didn't.
And of course he has a beef with RR. All of the coaches have or will have one cuz RR came to the Big 10 to dominate. And once UM finds a QB, it will dominate! :P
And xxx84xxxx, you can bet that RR will be all up in the Vests face (actually Tres will be looking into RR's chest due to height difference) and poking his figure on top of Tres's head. And it will make Tressel a better coach and maybe help him win a NC game by better preparing for a spread offense.

Yahhh buddy, watch out Big 10, Michigan's coming at you with a Walk-On QB that rode the bench for 3 years at Saline High School and then broke his collar bone his senior year. Terrelle Pryor, Pat Devlin, Juice Williams, Curtis Painter?!??!

**** D!ckRod. scUM fans call tOSU trailer park, but they hire the biggest one from WEST VIRGINIA. RITA is not only his wife, but also his sister AND cousin. Someone needs to tell her the 80s or west virginia haircuts are not in anymore.
BOTTOM LINE WHAT HAS HE DONE, HE COULDNT WIN THE BIG EAST OR EVEN COME IN SECOND WHEN THE BIG EAST HAD MIAMI, VA TECH, OR BC. LOOK UP HIS RECORD AGAINST THEM, .500 AGAINST BC WAS HIS BEST THE OTHERS HE NEVER BEAT LOOK IT UP. NOW ALL I SEE IS PATHETIC scUM FANS SAYING OH NO LOOK OUT WE GOT DKROD,,, SWEET NOW HE CAN CHOKE ON A BUCKEYE NUT INSTEAD OF THE PANTHERS. DIDNT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE GREAT TEAMS LEFT...ENOUGH SAID.
ALSO all Big10 fans know the conference is questioned the last 2years but we all know the ACC and Big East teams would get smoked in the Big10. Make no mistake he is not playing Cinci now he is playing tOSU, he is not playing pitt now he is playing PSU, big difference. Those are the lil brother teams and he has never played in a stadium bigger than 60,000. Wait until THE LAST WEEK OF NOVEMBER, HE WILL **** HIMSELF WHEN HE HEARS THE **** YOUs AND WE ARE GOING TO K!LL YOUs WHEN HE WALKS IN THE SHOE W/ 107,000 STRONG. **** THAT ARROGANT COCKY POS WHO HAS NOT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING BUT HE THINKS HE WON 5NCs ALREADY LOL, he has not done **** so settle down scUM fans REMEMBER HE WAS YOUR 3RD PICK FOR A COACH FOR A REASON!!!

PRYOR EVEN SAID ON THE MORNING OF THE DAY HE SIGNED W/ tOSU DKROD WAS STILL TRYING TO BS HIM INTO GOING THERE BY SAYING WE LL DO THIS AND GET YOU THIS BLABLABLA, HE IS A SNAKE TRESSEL WAS RIGHT. IT IS HOW SNAKE ROD DOES IT. HE SNAKED HIS OWN BUDDY U.MEYER ON SIGNING DAY W. HIS LINEMAN AND NEVER TOLD URBAN WHAT HE WAS DOING BEHIND HIS BACK. HE DID IT TO JOE PA, HE DID TO TILLER AND TRIED TO DO IT TO PRYOR. POS!!!
NAME ONE QB IN THE LEAGUE THAT RICH FRAUD PUT IN THE NFL??? ILL WAIT WHILE YOU LOOK IT UP.....NONE WOW IMPRESSIVE NO WONDER PRYOR DIDNT GO THERE. THE ONLY NFL PLAYERS FROM DKROD ARE PLAYERS THAT MAKE THE NFL LOOK BAD, THEY ARE PIECES OF TRASH JUST LIKE THEIR COACH IN CFB. "TELL ME WHO YOU WALK WITH AND ILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE". PAC MAN, CHRIS HENRY, NOEL DEVINE, ETC ETC ETC. DK FRAUD = W. TRASH
SORRY UM SAY G'BYE TO TOM BRADYS AND SAY HELLO TO MAJOR HARRIS. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RICH FRAUD RECORD VS BOSTON COLLEGE. .500
VS MIAMI .000
VS VA TECH .000
VS S. FLORIDA .000
VS tOSU .000
BUT AT LEAST HE CAN RUN UP THE SCORE ON UCONN.....SWEET

To my fellow Buckey Fans (sans 84 who gets it, i believe) you are right. I have realized your wisdom and concede that UM is no longer a powerhouse and will end up at the bottom of the Big 10 for years to come. Tressel knows he no longer has to worry about UM cuz it will be more difficult to plan for Youngstown St or Akron than UM. Coach Rod will be schooled by Tressel and UM will become the laughing stock of football for years to come. I bow down to you, oh might OSU. You are what UM aspires to be.

Don't all coaches recruit until the letter is signed?
You Ohio fans need to quiet down. National title appearances do not matter unless you win. Ask the Buffalo Bills about their 4 consecutive super bowl appearances.
I don't understand the excitement in Michigan. It revolves around RR's offense but you already had a good offense under Lloyd Carr. WVU isn't known for it's defense which has been your schools problem.

"IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOW YOU KNOW"
NAME ONE ACCOMPLISHMENT DKROD HAS WORTH BRAGGING AND I WILL STOP.
OHHHH in case you did not know here is something to back up what I have been saying....
1604 DAYS SINCE scUM HAS BEAT tOSU. YOU MIGHT BE @3000 BEFORE YOUR NEW GLORIOUS COACH GETS HIS FIRST W AGAINST tOSU. tOSU IS YOUR "BIG BROTHER" MIKE HART ;) (0-4 BY THE WAY TOO)

I like Tressels attitude, how can you not like that guy? Rodriguez is exactly what Michigan needed though, they have always had tons of talent but Carr couldn't translate that to big wins, I think Rodriguez will.

NWPA ITS WHAT HE SAYS AND THE SHADY SH!!!T THAT COMES FROM HIS MOUTH. Title appearances I guess you have been under a rock too since 02. 03 Fiesta Bowl I know was decades ago, lol but they won one, SOMETHING THE BILLS NEVER DID IN 4TRIES. 1-2 IS DIFFERENT THAN 0-4. DO YOUR MATH BEFORE SAYING SUCH A DUMB COMMENT. I do however agree, DKrod runs a 3-3-5, lol try that with Beanie coming at you in late November lol they have no clue what they got.
Dk Rod was the #3 choice for coach how quickly they forget.

This is way too early for me to get involved in this madness. You all can carry on with the name calling. I don't get excited off of stupid things like this.

All tressel is doing is keeping things calm so no comments made by him will be tack up for "locker room fodder" for this years game (war). "In tressel we trust" may be the maxim in Bucknut land but we Michigan fans are not bound by this "motto". Tressel is smooth, he dosen't need any problems with RR until November. He will just take this "i haven't a problem" attitude until the November game nears.

hahahahahahaha I read every one of the OSU or UM posts because they immediately turn into a bunch of homers beating their chests like gorillas. And I can't even begin to understand what fla_buck is saying.

Tsk.... A true fan will respect his opponent, not talk trash, as that is all it is: Talk. I am hoping that RR and JT will make the rivalry what it should be like BS and WH. I have a feeling that RR and JT will do such. No matter what the teams' records are when they meet, you know that tradition will somehow eminate. This "spat" probably is just the start between these two coaches. This should be exciting for NCAA as a whole. The kids on the field will give it their all, and we will witness some of best football yet to come for the next 20+ years...

Yngwie, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was reading the prior posts by FLA_BUCK & 4EVrroyal and I have no idea at what they are trying to say. Apparently 4evroyal thinks Ohio State is going to magically transform themselves into USC's football team on 9-13-08???? How proud OSU must be of each.
