So, remember that thing we just told you about Jim Tressel's incredible concern when confronted with news of possible Buckeye crimes and/or NCAA violations?

He has a funny way of showing it. Football coaches might not be the tech-savviest guys, but generally, one does not punctuate sentences with double exclamation points in serious written communication. One probably also doesn't write that he "will keep pounding these kids hoping they grow up," nor would one use the phrase "hold some collateral if you know what I mean." Or maybe George Kennan used all of them in the Long Telegram. The history's fuzzy now.

So, here are the silliest gems from Tressel's emails, which Ohio State released to the media, accompanied by some serious quotes from his press conference earlier tonight.
