Ohio State Football 2K8 Week Seven: Tressel Needs a Moustache

No, Tressel did not grow a mustache, that was just me futzing around with MS Paint, inspired by this article from Doug Lesmerises of the Cleveland Plain Dealer about coaches with mustaches in the Big Ten.

Upon closer observation, my Paint masterpiece makes it look like Tressel was on the wrong end of, um, something that probably shouldn't be mentioned on a family friendly website. The above picture is a perfect example of why I never pursued graphic design as a major in college...

Anyway, Ohio State beat Wisky 20-17 and I was wrong with my game prediction. I like it when I'm wrong. Terrelle Pryor made some rookie mistakes, but guess what folks: HE IS A ROOKIE. Name one college football team in the country that wouldn't kill to have a true freshman with Pryor's talent?

My only complaint was that I couldn't watch the game on ABC, seeing as how I was in Southern California where of course, USC takes precedent over everything else.

Theme song of the week is "Edie (Ciao, Baby) by The Cult:


I'm as perplexed as everyone else regarding Curtis Painter's performance this season (and Purdue's in general). Granted I didn't pick the 'Due to win the Big Ten, but I thought they'd be better than what we've seen thus far. Doesn't help that Painter's in the doghouse with Joe Tiller right now.

As long as we have our dual backfield threat, I'm really not too concerned about this game. Yeah, Purdue would love nothing more than to play
