Testament to the health of periodically resetting expectations: Tuberville, a genius of sorts.

…the Cupdate is a brawny dish this week, and the math combined with a fierce head cold has gummed up the works. Consider perusing our column at SN where we suggest Jim Tressel manage the unreal expectations of being OSU’s head coach by following what we’ll call the Tuberville model: beat your rival like a scalded dog, alternate merely good seasons with excellent seasons, and you know, forget the fan-wife’s birthday every now and then.

The additional fun from the column is imagining darkside Tressel kicking a whole season into the wood chipper: slobbing out, eating donuts and drinking scotch from squeeze bottles during the game, picking up an arrest for DUI or barfighting, you know…something like Buckeyes Wide Shut.
