JIM TRESSEL'S FRANK PACKAGE TALK

by Orson on Oct 3, 2008 10:03 AM EDT

Jim Tressel was asked about whether the inclusion of Terrelle Pryor at all limited what the Buckeyes could do on offense. The answer, presumably a simple one, instead revealed the soul of a man who both knows his limitations but embraces them as strengths.

"I'm not looking to have the biggest package in the world," Tressel said. "I'm looking to have the most effective one. Give enough so you apply pressure to the preparation of the defense, but do it well enough so that you're really applying pressure."

An assassin like me only needs a dagger, baby.

Remember: winning the Tressel Way means using the most effective package, not the biggest, meaning he never really thought Santonio Holmes was that essential to the offense, and that he's talking about football...but could be talking about his penis at the same time.

Isn’t this just a reconstituted version of the “it’s not the size of the boat/ worm, it’s the motion in the ocean/ how you wiggle it” expressions? Does Tressle find coaching inspiration in bad T-shirt/ license plate slogans?

Am I way overusing the “slash”/ rhetorical question?

IM35IMAMAN! But, damn that tickled my juvenile bone.

(although, not quite the same way they do it in South Bend).

Personally, I enjoy a nice, firm package that is skillfully applied. One that can penetrate quickly or take its time and skillfully open things up, if you will. As long as the ultimate goal of the end zone is reached and it doesn’t peter out in the red zone. That’s so disappointing.

((I’m so ashamed, yet, I couldn’t help it.))

That picture:
Five … Five Dollar … Five Dollar Foot longs!

Plus something about a footlong package.

@Xaryn – how do you feel about guys who really bring it with “ess eee ceee” speed, though?

Someone send Tressel and invite to the new Champagne room. He’d fit right in.
Figuratively.

Not even Midwesterners lack the irony to pull a quote like that off unlayered. He’s totally, TOTALLY talking about his penis. I really didn’t think he had it in him.

a little rophynol means never having to explain your package

I guess we can just chalk up BCS MNCG’s as performance anxiety…that or he’s just cold.

Jimmy T, and his potent penis (like so many before him) ruined by a Trojan. (Swear the kid’s not mine!) Orson, you would actually have to wear one to know this pain though!
