ESPN runs a feature on coaches from Youngstown, Ohio, during a GameDay segment from Corvallis. Jim Tressel of Ohio State is featured prominently in the segment, then they come back live to the set and Lee Corso remarks, "And they forgot one guy, Jim Tressel. Jim Tressel was a great football coach there at Youngstown State." OK now. ...

Cincinnati Bearcat mascot throws snowballs, gets arrested and is cited for disorderly conduct during the team's 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh. Perhaps this is what the Bearcat needs to vault into the finals of the Capital One 2010 Mascot Challenge. The Bearcat is trailing Texas El Paso's mascot Paydirt in the semifinals.
Illinois' linebacker Ian Thomas suffers an injury to his right ankle against Fresno State, but reports indicate he will be available for the Fighting Illini's Texas Bowl matchup against Baylor.
Huh! I actually thought for a long time that Tressel used to coach at Youngstown St...my bad. BTW, as the son of a mom who suffered a severe stroke, I think Lee Corso is remarkable in his recovery and sharpness...but then again I am probably mistaken about that too. Too bad we take such glee when people seemingly mis-speak, even though I still think there is a chance he didn't mis-speak...I just don't get why we are so addicted to such sarcastic and schaedenfraude-ridden commentary.

Actually, the Youngstown piece really featured the Stoops and Pellini brothers. Tressel was mentioned in passing, but he wasn't interviewed nor was he prominently featured. If you blinked you could have missed it. Give Corso a break, he had a stroke last year. He's GREAT for the sport.
