Tress pimped his book - basically it's the guide they have been using to teach their players for ~23 years now. He said he doesn't care much for the SEC > Big 10 discussion, but he is tired of losing two straight NC games to SEC teams. Also gave props to USC, saying their "best" is the best in CFB, and that they aren't worried about what USC will do on the field, but how Ohio State's "best" will ...
CC opened by asking about the Troy game. He asked if the Buckeyes could get TOO up for the Trojans and end up stubbing their toe against Troy.
[JT: Paraphrased]You can't be too prepared for USC, but you have to manage you emotions because this game is played in the mind.[/JT: Paraphrased]
Cowherd asked JT if he's tired of the OSU/SEC run-around. JT said he's only tired of losing the last two MNC games to SEC teams, otherwise he doesn't really mind. Talked a little about the USC games, mostly about mental prep and all that. Cowherd says he thinks the game will be a defensive struggle because the defenses are stacked at historical levels of talent; JT agrees with the talent comment,...
Fantastic. Thanks to everyone for the summary!
I like Cowherd's style, even if I don't always agree with his opinions. The mere contrast of personality with Tressel is enough to make their interviews fun.

He has a syndicated radio show. You should be able to listen to ESPNradio or 1460thefan streaming over the internet. He is on from 10am-1pm EDT on ESPNradio. His last hour is pre-empted by local programming on 1460thefan.
As many ...

I totally agree! 2wks and 2 days from now can shut up a lot of naysayers! I think Cowherd's pretty amusing, I just take everything he says with a grain of salt, and thats what u need to do if u listen to him, or just don't listen at all. Not trying to get some people riled up, I have discussions like these with my boys sometimes because a good number of them loathe Cowherd, while I laugh at him and take him for what he is,...

I don't care if he likes Ohio State. He shouldn't LIKE or DISLIKE Ohio State, or any other team, for that matter. And he says what he says to get ratings. Ohio State fans listen to the show, so he supports them. Same thing with fans of any other popular teams that are doing well. (Teams that aren't doing well tend to not have many fans listening to national sports radio shows.) But laughing at Greg Oden (or any other player)...

Put 2 and 2 together here. He's going to do what he can for ratings, which mostly means he's going to rag on Ohio State. Know that going in and you'll be able to appreciate everything else he brings to the table. When he has his days where...

I'm just saying he's giving the national perception of our squad, right or wrong! Jaxbuck hit it on the...
