As an OSU fan, I also want to say, "Thank you" to Coach Jim Tressel and the entire Ohio State squad for a great season, filled with thrills and fantastic memories!
Now, I look forward to rooting for the OSU Men's Basketball team as it seeks a national championship for the Buckeyes!
[UPDATE: If you saw any of the post-game news conference with Coach Jim Tressel and the four Ohio State co-captains, then you know why all OSU grads bust their buttons when speaking of the OSU football program. It isn't just because the Buckeyes have a winning program, it's that they represent a great university and our great state with class, humility, and honor. And yes, as hokie as that may seem, I really believe that this is a great state and that Ohio State is a fantastic school!]
[UPDATE: Kind words from Andy Jackson. Thank you, Andy.]
[ANOTHER UPDATE: My son sent this link to the post-game interview with Tressel and the four co-captains after the Michigan game fifty-two days ago. You can see that in victory and defeat, a Tressel-led team is grace and honor personified! As my son said, "I can't believe this. This is what sportsmanship is all about."]
[YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Here are some post-game notes from The Ohio State University Athletic Department.]
Go, Buckeyes!

I'm sorry for your OSU football loss, Mark. Looked like an exciting game.
I would say better luck in winning the national title in basketball... but this UCLA grad just can't say it in all sincerity!
David: Congratulations to the Gators...and thanks for your words about the OSU team and Jim Tressel.
Deborah: Of course, you should root for your alma mater. Maybe the Buckeyes and the Bruins will meet during March Madness.
God bless both of you!
Mark
