"The players certainly didn’t demand this, as they were the ones Tressel was trying to cover for. Athletic director Gene Smith? He’s the one Tressel made look the most foolish. But Smith then said he trusts Tressel, handcuffing himself to his coach in the same sinking boat."
"OSU president E. Gordon Gee? His very successful career plan has been to focus on winning football games, and Tressel does that."
"This is PR 101, and it came from some team of image-makers. Ohio State has been portrayed as dirty, and in some ways I’m a little surprised that it cares."
"Kick the tires. This is still a lemon."

“We are in a situation right now that I didn't get as wise of counsel as I should have,” Tressel said Tuesday.
“And so I am accountable for a leadership action that I took. But that's part of being a leader. And when you are a leader, and you are a servant, you look it right in the eyes, you learn, you know what you should do, you are reminded that you should always seek wise counsel, and then you go forward.”
... after which, of course, you are totally free to blame your situation on all those poor unwise souls you asked for counsel. (Hey, remember that time Tressel's defense was that he withheld information from the school because he didn't know who to talk to about legal issues related to NCAA violations? Because that was two weeks ago.)
