"It means we are extraordinarily blessed and we have an awesome responsibility to uphold the higher standards that have been set before us. It means we have a tradition that is second to none. It means we love Ohio State"
--Coach Tressel, Head Coach

"I still go to most every game, because I am a Buckeye to the core. Coach Tressel has brought back so much already that you can't help but love the guy. The tradition, so great for so many years, will live on."
--Howard Teifke, 1943, 1946-48

"Everything that happened to us at Ohio State helped make our lives easier. Being a Buckeye is something that never leaves you. It is a large part of me, and it always will be."
--Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, 1952-55
