Many Special People Excitedly Posed For Pictures With Jim Tressel Last Week

Sure, Jim Tressel won't be coaching Ohio State University's first couple of football games in the fall, what with breaking the rules and all. That lil mess didn't stop droves of fans from turning out for an Ohio State Alumni luncheon for the chance to stand in front of the same camera as the coach himself, though!

What you'll see on this link (courtesy of a tipster whose roommate was there that very special day) is an endless stream of happiness both immeasurable and subtle. It may not quite be Auburn fans at a Wal-Mart, but at least these people look like they can protect ceremonial trees.
