Jim Tressel. Flame away.

Half or so of his big games, bowls included, he showed up with a nonexistent gameplan. Not a shitty gameplan, but NO gameplan. It's like he and his staff didn't scout their opponent at all.

The ironic thing is, he showed several times he had the ability to scheme the frick out of you (Oregon in the Rose, TX in 2006, 2002 BCSNC). It was maddening.

The only bowl game I would agree with this on would be the UF NCG game. He had a decent gameplan against LSU, they were just obviously superior. Those are the only possible bowl games where you could have made your argument.

what do all tressel's bowl wins have in common(throw in the 2003 fiesta bowl against kansas state as well)?

ohio state was ATS underdogs in all the bowl games tressel won. It was amazing how much of a jekyll and hyde team ohio state was under tressel as a favorite or a dog.
