“let me thank my colleague the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Tiberi) from Columbus, Ohio, and an Ohio State grad and a former member of the Ohio State marching band for bringing this resolution to the floor today, and let me say I support the underlying resolution, support and congratulate the Ohio State University on what really was an outstanding season, not only for the coach and the players, the fans, but for all who watched Ohio State go through a number of games where it was very close, games that they were certainly about to lose, including the national championship. As an old football player myself, I can tell my colleagues the game on January 3, the national championship game, was one of the most exciting football games that I have ever watched or one that I ever played in. The real credit here goes to Coach Jim Tressel and his players. They did not have the most talented team in the country, not even close, and to win all of the close games all year is a sign of very good coaching and players who come together to create a very good team, and so for myself and my colleagues, our delegation, we want to congratulate the Ohio State University, the coach Jim Tressel, the players and all the fans. Way to go, Bucks.”
