I think that this article could be dressed up a little. Things like "Also Tressel and the Buckeyes, were invited to their third Fiesta Bowl in four years." shouldn't be here when the BCS selection show hasn't even occurred yet. Sure it might be a forgone conclusion, but anything can happen.

No mention of the sweater vest? For shame!

[edit] 19-0 is second-longest streak?

The Wikipedia page states that "His 19-game winning streak during the 2002-2003 campaigns was the second longest in the history of Ohio State football."

But according a recent (8-28-06) article on The Official Site of Ohio State Athletics, "The current seven-game win streak is second only to the 19-consecutive wins under Tressel in 2002 (14-0) and 2003 (5-0 to start season). " This article can be found at

• I think the article is referring only to winning streaks under Tressel. The Ohio State records book (page 17, right hand column) confirms the longest winning streak at 22 from 1967-1969, followed by the streak of 19 under Tressel. TheMan232 04:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Made changes to the summary, but they are not showing.

I tried to add his conference championships and rivalry record but the changes don't show up. Any thoughts?

[edit] 62 wins is the third best?

O$U homerism needs to go here. Frank Beamer is the coach who has the third most wins in D1A alltime.
