UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio (AP) – Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel told people at a rally on his front doorstep that he would always be a Buckeye and said the team will beat Michigan again this November.
Tressel was forced to resign Monday for his role in covering up his knowledge of his players taking improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.
Some 200 people walked from a nearby park to Tressel’s French Provincial home. They cheered, sang the alma mater and held up signs that said, “You’re in Our Prayers,” “We Support You, Jim!” and “We Love You, Coach Tressel.”
Tressel and his wife, Ellen, posed for dozens of pictures, shook hands and thanked those in attendance. Much like when he took the job 10 years ago, he guaranteed that the Buckeyes would beat archrival Michigan on Nov. 26.
