Jim Tressel Programs Quotations

This is one of those games that coaches and players look forward to. Shoot, we can't wait and I am sure they feel the same way. It matches two great research universities, two great football programs and two states that really support their teams against one another. Everyone has been talking about it since the end of last season. I know this; it won't be hard to get our players' attention this week,

We played twice in the '30s and twice in the '90s and that's the end of it. We're not that far apart and with the great tradition of both football programs and both schools, what more could we ask for?

As we move forward to play Texas, we don't need to say much more than we're playing Texas, one of the great programs in the history of college football. They've got things rolling there right now extremely well.
