God bless the internets...
I just read through the post comparing college football programs to Simpsons characters, and must say it was pretty damn funny.
I would compare Tressel and OSU more to Reverand Lovejoy than Drederick Tatum. Both Tress and the Rev are very open about the fact that they love the baby Jesus, but both aren't quite as holy as they'd have you believe. Both also have cute daughters.
And if we're going to start incorporating fanbases into this, I'd like to nominate Michigan fans as the two guys from the Shelbyville gas station in Lemon of Troy.
Flanders: [nervous, with OSU hat on] Well, a friendly OSU "Hello" there, neighbors. Uh, you know, we think some kids of ours may be missing in your town.
Michigan Fan 1: Missing children?
Michigan Fan 2: Sounds like Ohio State's got a discipline problem.
Michigan Fan 3: Maybe that why we beat them at football nearly half the time, huh?
Michigan fans love to talk about discipline problems whenever they crop up at OSU. The only problem is the "beat them at football nearly half the time."

that's true, it's closer to two-thirds.
brian,
not if you take out the Cooper years, a couple of the Earle Bruce years, the odd numbered years from 1945-1963 and divide by pi.
Then it's much closer to half. *laugh*
Ahhh... Michigan fans. Is there anything you do better than living in the past?
Maybe Grandpa Simpson could have been a better choice. That way you could have told the story of the last time you won an undisputed national title and celebrated by wearing an onion on your belt. It was the style at the time.
It's actually exactly 50/50 if you take a totally arbitrary number like... oh... 50 years.
Or you could take the record of the senior class that just graduated. That wouldn't be too arbitrary, would it?
I never want to see you sporting anything that has the year 2002 on it. Holier than thou pricks from the biggest high school in Ohio...
Sorry, rambling again.
