Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel has invited Mike Conley Jr. and Greg Oden to coach against each other in Ohio State's spring football game. Said Tressel of his gesture:I really believe in these young men, and I'd like them to stay around campus. I see a lot of myself in them. They're bright, energetic, hard-working kids, and they've proved that they're just as capable of getting stomped by Florida as I am.Okay, he didn't say that. Sorry.
Oden turned down the offer, because his aunt's getting married that day. Conley will be there, though, hopefully in a sweater vest. Taking Oden's spot will be Jamar Butler. Daequan Cook has been relegated to an assistant role on Conley's staff. I guess Tressel doesn't care if he leaves.

Not sure they make sweater vest in Oden's size anyways........we wish Oden the best but he should have stayed another year. Now off to play with real man, thanks for the year, Greg. But the other two, where is their thinking going??? Where the hell are the parents, is money the only thing here?? Well, we were lucky to have these special players, hope the learn something along the line....they all need it now.........Go Bucks
