Jim Tressel Has Scrapped All Of My Punishment Ideas And Says I Have To Walk From Dallas To Houston If Ohio State Loses To Texas
So here's how this story goes. At the beginning of the season, I declared that Ohio State was so good, so talented, so experienced, and so well-coached that I personally guaranteed they would go 12-0. I was so confident that I decided to make a Punishment List that corresponded with the team we were playing. If Ohio State lost to _____, I would do ______. Anyways, it's sort of taken off on the internet, and due to the popularity + fact that Ohio State is still in the playoff, I've continued it throughout the postseason. But instead of me coming up with the punishments for the playoffs, I have let the internet. For the Tennessee game, I would've had to plant a Power T flag at the Ohio Statehouse on Christmas Morning. For the Oregon game, they bullied me into doing the Peeps Bet again. And now, for the Texas game, they came up with a Top 10 List that I was going to let them vote on (in the video above).
However, earlier this week, Jake Malasek texted me that Gruden was interviewing Jim Tressel on Wednesday, and he was wondering if Coach could read Coach my finalists and let him pick. Of course I said yes in a heartbeat. Jim Tressel? 9-1 against Michigan? National Champion? The greatest speech giver in the history of speeches?
I still get chills. Anyways, fast forward to yesterday afternoon and I get a text from Malasek, who was watching the interview was it took place, and he said that Tress just went rouge and I was FUCKED. No idea what that means. No way Tress would screw me over, right? We're brothers!
Anyways, this morning while I'm doing the Mark Titus Show, my phone starts going bananas. The Gruden / Tressel interview dropped and yes…."you're fucked" was a proper way to describe what Coach came up with instead of the 10 options he was given.
WALK FROM DALLAS TO HOUSTON????
That's 250 miles on the highway. That could legitimately take weeks. I could quite fathomably die. But if Jim Tressel (9-1 against Michigan and a National Champion) says to jump, I say how high? And if he says I need to walk from Dallas to Houston if the Buckeyes lose to Texas, I'll start looking for walking shoes (if needed).
Now, I've already received texts from both my Mom and Girlfriend saying they're using their Veto Clause on this punishment, but they must've missed the end of the video where Gruden and Tressel say they'll meet me for dinner if I complete it. Uhhhhhhhhhhh, DEAL!
Go fucking Bucks.
