Pat Caputo: Michigan And Michigan State Should Benefit Greatly From Jim Tressel's Troubles
Although Jim Tressel gained his reputation at Ohio State by immediately calling out Michigan, he hasn't exactly presented the same evil aura of, say, Woody Hayes.
He has been the quiet assassin of this state's two Big Ten football programs.
It's been, go ahead, make fun of the fatherly-looking Tressel and his sweater vests, and the Buckeyes for their hairless nut of a mascot. Go ahead, mock the Ohio State fans for their, ah, overzealous behavior.
Just look at the record. Tressel is 9-1 against Michigan and 6-0 against Michigan State. Yep, 15-1 combined. Ouch.
The Michigan-Ohio State game hasn't even been close in recent years. Meanwhile, the Spartans share of the Big Ten title last season — their first since 1990 — was widely devalued because they didn't play Ohio State.
