Dear Jim Tressel...How Do You Like 'Dem Apples?

That plan didn’t work, now did it? You had the game film from last year. You should have known what to expect from that evil conference down south. But you chose to play it your way, and what do you have to show for it? Two losses to the SEC for the Championship, two straight losses in the Super College Bowl, and three losses to the SEC in a span of 12 months. As for the school itself, they got three losses to the SEC for the National Championship in a span of 12 months to show for “all their hard work.” I think I’ll save Jim Rome the trouble and say that you have gotten soft at your old age. I remember when you were tougher, Jim. What happened to that? The SEC loves to play smashmouth football. How do you think we got so many games on Sportscenter? But I guess you’ll never know about that because I tried to warn you about the trouble your team was in against Florida, but you didn’t listen.

So with that being said, Jim, I have to ask the question that most of my fellow Bleacher Report colleagues are wanting to ask you after last night:

“Coach Tressel, your team got outmatched, outplayed, outwitted, outclassed, and above all else, outfanned by the new National Champions. LSU took everything you had and used it against you. Coach, how do you like ‘Dem Apples?”

Enjoy your offseason. Something tells me that it’s going to be a little longer than usual.

With Deepest Something,

Ron Johnson

At press time, Mr. Tressel was unavailable for comment. If you find him passed out in a bar on Bourbon Street, inform him that his team has flown back to Columbus and left his ticket with the hotel receptionist. Thanks and congratulations again to the LSU Tigers, the 2007 BCS National Champions!!
