End of an era

Jim Tressel resigned Monday after a tumultuous offseason

He roamed the Ohio State sideline for 10 years with his conservative attire and conservative play calling.

He basked in the glory of a national championship win and took heat for twice failing to capture the crystal football.

Now, after one tumultuous offseason shrouded with controversy and scandal, Jim Tressel is gone.

Tressel submitted his letter of resignation Monday morning, ending months of debate about his job status but leaving behind plenty of questions.

President E. Gordon Gee released a statement Monday morning saying assistant coach Luke Fickell will coach the entire 2011 season and that a search for a permanent head coach will not start until after the upcoming season.

Tressel was facing a ÿve-game suspension and $250,000 ÿne for failing to report NCAA violations committed by his players.

“After meeting with university ofÿcials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach,” Tressel said in his letter of resignation. “The appreciation that (my wife) Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable.”

Tressel, who didn’t apologize in his letter, wrote that the turmoil within the football program was becoming too much of a “distraction.”

“The recent situation has been a distraction for our great university, and I make this decision for the greater good of our school,” Tressel wrote.

Tressel could not be reached for comment. A man who answered the door at the Tressel household Monday evening said he wasn’t home.

In a February interview with The Lantern, Tressel said that as coach at OSU, “you can’t be perfect and you can’t get everything done.”

In a video statement, athletic director Gene Smith said he and Tressel met Sunday night after the coach returned from a vacation in Florida.

They met again in Tressel’s ofÿce Monday morning, when Tressel submitted his letter of resignation to Smith.

OSU spokesman Jim Lynch said Tressel called a meeting with his players at 8:45 a.m. to break the news to them.

Position coaches contacted players not present at the meeting, Smith said.

“There wasn’t a huge gathering,” Lynch told The Lantern.

“The whole team wasn’t there, given the fact that it was a holiday weekend.”

Smith said he asked Fickell to become the team’s interim head coach before Tressel addressed the team.

“When we met with the team, Luke had an opportunity to share some things with the team,” Smith said. “He did an excellent job of talking about the things that are important.”

Athletic department spokesman Dan Wallenberg told The

Lantern that there are no immediate plans for Smith to address the media.

On Dec. 23, 2010, the NCAA suspended quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, offensive tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas for ÿve games for selling memorabilia and receiving improper beneÿts from Eddie Rife, owner of Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor. Linebacker Jordan Whiting also received a one-game ban.

Last week, Ray Small, who played receiver under Tressel from 2006-2009, told The Lantern he sold his Big Ten Championship rings.

A Sports Illustrated report Monday evening said 28 OSU players – including nine current athletes – exchanged memorabilia for tattoos.

campus OSU taking steps to make the Shoe more eco-friendly GORDON GANTT Lantern reporter gantt.26@osu.edu A new coach and the absence of a few key ÿgures will not be the only noticeable difference at Ohio Stadium for the start of the 2011 football season. Almost everything from the food containers at concession stands to the waste baskets they are thrown in will be different.

Ohio State is moving ahead with its Zero Waste initiative this fall, which aims to divert 90 percent of Ohio Stadium’s waste away from landÿlls. Fans have been recycling at Ohio Stadium since 2007, but the next phase in the initiative to make the Shoe more environmentallyfriendly will start this fall.

Corey Hawkey, program coordinator for energy and sustainability at OSU, said the university has already made major strides toward reducing waste at OSU. During the 2010 football season, OSU diverted about half of its 111.5 tons, of waste from Ohio Stadium away from the landÿll. According to Toyota.com, 111.5 tons is equivalent to about 74 2011 Toyota Priuses. OSU also had a single-game high of 75 percent of waste being diverted from the landÿll when OSU played Purdue.

“This season, we should deÿnitely be around that 75 percent marker so that the next season, we can move toward that 90 percent goal,” Hawkey said.

Many football fans probably never knew their trash was being recycled because, prior to this season, fans threw all waste into one type of barrel, Hawkey said. The garbage was then manually sorted after the games.

“When you’re putting a nacho cup in the waste and it starts melting all over popcorn and plastic bottles and everything else, it kind of becomes a giant clump of stuff, and its difÿcult to recycle that,” Hawkey said. “By separating out the waste streams, we’re going to instantly improve recycling numbers.”

A waste stream is the path garbage takes after it is thrown away, Hawkey said. The stadium will now have three waste streams: recycling, compost and trash.

Hawkey said it’s pretty much impossible to eliminate all trash at a stadium that regularly seats 105,000 fans on game days, but diverting most of that waste to recycling and compost centers signiÿcantly reduces the overall impact on the environment.

One aspect that may keep fans from being “on board” is cost. But Hawkey said fans shouldn’t experience a serious increase in price for the products they buy in Ohio Stadium.

“We’re being very diligent with our resources and ensuring that we’re using assets within the department of athletics and (Energy and Sustainability) ofÿce to ensure we’re doing this at the lowest possible costs,” Hawkey said.

The university is also hoping to get corporate sponsorship for the initiative. Don Patko, associate athletic director for Facilities Operations, said money generated from sponsors would help offset potential costs to fans.

“As we gain sponsorship, we may be able to do more things,” Patko said. “With marketing dollars, you could add more signage and pay for something to be done more efÿciently.”

The President’s and Provost’s Council on Sustainability recently awarded a $50,000 grant to the program which will help offset initial costs. The athletic food and facility contractor, Sodexo, Inc., is also helping to provide more recyclable and compostable products within the stadium.

Sodexo has experience in this area. The company helped reduce the football stadium’s waste at University of California Davis, said Christy Cook, sustainability coordinator at Sodexo.

UC Davis ÿnished its new stadium in 2007 and last year diverted about 90 percent of its waste.

“Behavior is the hardest thing to change,” Cook said.

The university and Sodexo are currently considering options to

inform the crowds about the changes, Patko said. These options include hiring people to stand near the bins and direct fans to place their trash in the right container.

But the effort does not begin and end with the fans. Almost everything from packaging for T-shirts down to condiments is considered. Cook said the experience at UC Davis has been educational for Sodexo, but the Aggies’ stadium seats about 30,000 fans, less than one-third the size of Ohio Stadium.

Danny Phillips is Sodexo’s general manager at OSU and is working with OSU ofÿcials to make the zero waste goal a reality.

“Education is going to be paramount in this entire thing,” Phillips said. “We’re excited about doing it, and once we’re excited about it, we look at it and think ‘Wow, this is a big task.’ We’ve all got to be on board with this.”

For the OSU ofÿcials involved and partners like Sodexo, this is a learning process that will hopefully improve with time and has already started to spread throughout the OSU campus, Hawkey said.

“We’re collecting organic waste not only at the stadium but in the Ohio Union, the Blackwell Inn, the Fawcett Center and the faculty club,” Hawkey said.

The university hopes to roll out a zero waste catering option for events on the OSU campus, Hawkey said. OSU would provide university organizations with recycling and compost receptacles at their request.

“This is deÿnitely a piece of a bigger pie, the university has been working to divert at least 40 percent of waste from the landÿll,” Hawkey said.

But Ohio Stadium will be a very visible piece of that pie, and Hawkey hopes it will demonstrate the school’s commitment to sustainability.

“This is a very visible portion of our university, and it also connects us to our alumni and our community,” Hawkey said. “It is a really powerful way for Ohio State to communicate that our students, our faculty, our staff and our administration are working to reduce our environmental impact.”

Garage repairs could cost OSU over $1M VICTORIA JOHNSTON Lantern reporter johnston.517@osu.edu Starting in mid-July, the Northwest Parking Garage, located across from the Knowlton School of Architecture, will close for repairs that are estimated to cost more than $1 million.

“Restorations are not cheap,” said Chris Henderson, project manager with design and construction for Facilities Operations and Development. “Depending on the work, it may take a little bit more or less (money) than what we anticipate.”

Henderson said the project will include concrete slab repairs, ranging from partial to full depth, and will be replaced with newer concrete. It is set to last roughly a month-and-a-half and will re-open at the beginning of September.

The project will also include beam and column repairs and work on the stair towers and sofÿt areas, or underside of the roof. Drains will also be repaired, along with paint touch up and re-striping, or repainting the parking places, of the entire garage.

“Level ÿve of the parking garage will be replaced with a waterproof membrane to help protect the concrete from sun exposure,” Henderson said.

“Levels two through four will also receive a water proof membrane top coat.”

The Northwest Garage, built in 1974, underwent complete renovations in 2000 that cost about $1.6 million, said Sarah Blouch, executive director for OSU’s Transportation and Parking Services.

“We like to make sure to do a full (° oor) restoration every 10 years … to make sure they can last for a very long time,” Blouch said. “If we don’t ÿx them … they’re going to get bad.”

Dominic Vecchio, a fourth-year in construction systems management, said a restoration every 10 years, especially on parking garages, is a normal amount of time considering the circumstances the garages go through.

“Concrete doesn’t last forever,” Vecchio said. “(Parking garages are) used so frequently and are exposed to all elements of weather, such as wind, rain, snow and heat. It just seems like the right amount of time to me.”

Vecchio also said concrete corrosion “happens to almost all buildings,” especially parking garages because of the constant ° ow of trafÿc.

During Fall Quarter 2010, Boone Concrete Restoration of Columbus repaired a 2-foot-wide hole on the ÿfth ° oor of Northwest Garage and replaced it with new concrete, a project that cost Ohio State more than $139,000, Henderson said.

“Considering we are repairing the entire garage, this is a much larger project,” Henderson said.

“Some of the concrete shows signs of failing, and we’re trying to prevent future holes (from happening) before matters become worse.”

Kerrie Kirkpatrick, a professor in the College of Engineering, parks in the Northwest Garage almost everyday, but said she does not think twice about the structure of the building.

“The building itself doesn’t bother me, so I really don’t think about it,” Kirkpatrick said. “Sometimes I see some of the spots on the second and third ° oor are blocked off with cones, and that concerns me a little because it doesn’t show an explanation of why.”

Compared to the other garages, Kirkpatrick said she thinks it is a smart idea the Northwest Garage undergoes repairs in the summer.

“For these next two weeks I just hope nothing ever happens,” Kirkpatrick said.

A construction company has not been chosen for the project, but Henderson said the anticipated date for the publicly open bid will take place June 30.

The Northwest Garage will be closed completely during the summer in order for the contractors to complete the project quicker and keep everyone out of the work area, Henderson said.

Blouch said the Northwest Garage can hold 648 cars.

Lane Avenue Parking Garage, the Tuttle Park Garage and all of the streets surrounding the Northwest Garage will be kept open for use, Blouch said.

The garage is expected to be open in time for the ÿrst home football game on Sept. 3 against the University of Akron.

“We’re not trying to make a disturbance on campus,” Henderson said. “We will make sure to return the garage back to everyone in the fall.”

On Thursday the top level of the Northwest Parking Garage at 271 Ives Drive shows multiple areas that have been patched since the building started showing signs of wear and aging.

Fickell has chance to earn head coaching job, Park said Park said. “I’m sure this is not the way he wanted this at all.”

Whether or not he wanted them, Fickell has the coaching reins next season. The coach for the 2012 campaign is still uncertain, but the Columbus native has 2011 to prove he is the man for the job.

“It is an opportunity for him to earn the headcoaching job at Ohio State,” Park said. “He’s got a year. He doesn’t have to build a staff. … The staff is in place. They have been working together pretty well.”

Fickell likely will lean on his experienced assistants.

“We coach by committee,” Fickell said. “It never has been, never will be, about one person in particular.”

Fickell has done the majority of his coaching from the defensive side of the ball, serving as the co-defensive coordinator since 2005. It seems likely that Tressel’s defense-ÿrst approach to the game will remain intact. The offensive game plan is less certain.

“Something has to be done offensively. I don’t know if they bring in another coach now to basically run the offense,” Park said. “Jim Bollman has the title of offensive coordinator, but I think we all know that Jim Tressel was the offensive coordinator.”

Bollman has been the team’s offensive coordinator since 2001.

Fickell had the chance Monday to speak with players as interim head coach.

“He did an excellent job of talking about the things that are important,” Smith said in a video statement Monday. “This happens to be ÿnals week, and (the players) obviously have to ÿnish their classes. … Luke and this staff are committed to surrounding them with the support that they need to make sure they stay focused in that regard.”

On Dec. 23, 2010, the NCAA suspended quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, offensive tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas for ÿve games for selling memorabilia and receiving improper beneÿts from Eddie Rife, owner of Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor. Linebacker Jordan Whiting also received a one-game ban.

Though he has coached at OSU for nearly a decade, Fickell has no head-coaching experience.

The sparse résumé makes coaching at OSU, where a BCS bowl game is a constant expectation, a tall order.

“I am humbled and excited about the opportunity,” Fickell said in March. “I’m truly proud to be able to stand up here and accept this role.”

When accepting the coaching reins for the games Tressel was suspended, Fickell emphasized the unimportance of the individual.

“This place is not about one person; this place is not about coach Tress. It’s not about whoever is going to be wearing the headset on a Saturday afternoon,” Fickell said. “It’s about Ohio State football.”

say Tressel took too much blame “During the course of an investigation, the university and the NCAA work jointly to review any new allegations that come to light, and will continue to do so until the conclusion of the investigation,” Smith said in a statement. “You should (be) rest assured that these new allegations will be evaluated in exactly this manner.

Beyond that we will have no further comment.”

Tressel received a series of emails from attorney and former OSU football player Chris Cicero between April and June 2010 detailing several players’ involvement with Rife. Tressel forwarded the information on to Pryor’s mentor, Ted Sarniak, but failed to inform Gee, Smith and the NCAA. On Sept. 13, 2010, Tressel signed a document stating he had no knowledge of any NCAA violations. At a March 8 press conference, Tressel admitted to knowingly playing athletes who should have been ineligible.

At that press conference, Tressel said he didn’t think he needed to resign.

“That wouldn’t be something that would jump in my mind,” Tressel said, “unless there came that point in time where I said, ‘You know what? The best thing to do for those kids (OSU players) is if I do,’ and I don’t feel that way.”

OSU originally suspended Tressel for two games, but the coach later asked for his punishment to match that of his players. Fickell was to take over during Tressel’s absence.

“We look forward to refocusing the football program on doing what we do best – representing this extraordinary university and its values on the ÿeld, in the classroom and in life,” Smith said Monday. “We look forward to supporting Luke Fickell in his role as our football coach. We have full conÿdence in his ability to lead our football program.”

Tressel was scheduled to earn $3.5 million this year. Fickell’s salary has yet to be determined, Lynch said. Fickell earned $250,000 in 2010.

Lynch said Gee appointed a committee to advise him on “issues relating to our football program.”

The committee, made up of seven past and current Board of Trustees members and university administrators, included Alex Shumate, chair of the Committee on Trusteeship; Jerry Jurgensen, Board of Trustees

member; Brandon Mitchell, the graduate/ professional student trustee for the Board; Geoffrey Chatas, senior vice president for business and ÿnance and chief ÿnancial ofÿcer for OSU; Joseph Alutto, executive vice president and provost for the Ofÿce of Academic Affairs; Robert Duncan, former chairperson of the Board of Trustees; Christopher Culley, senior vice president and general counsel for the Ofÿce of Legal Affairs.

Lynch said he didn’t know how often the group met or when its last meeting was. He also said Gee was “out of the state” until late Monday night and could not be reached.

Committee members did not immediately respond to The Lantern’s request for comment.

How Tressel’s resignation will affect the ongoing NCAA investigation into the football program remains unclear. OSU has until July 5 to present a response to the NCAA’s notice of allegations sent to Gee on April 21. University representatives – including Tressel and Fickell – are scheduled to meet with the Committee on Infractions on Aug. 12.

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said OSU “has consistently reported” its ÿndings to the NCAA, and that Tressel’s resignation is a result of his cover-up.

“His resignation today is an indication that serious mistakes have serious consequences,” Delany said.

Former OSU linebacker James Laurinaitis said Tressel took too much of the blame.

“It just amazes me how everything is being put on Tressel,” Laurinaitis told The Lantern.

“Yeah, he allegedly lied … but you can’t babysit every single player on your team. If a kid gets a DUI are you going to blame the kid or blame the parents?”

Malcolm Jenkins, who played cornerback under Tressel from 2005-08, said Tressel looked out for his players’ best interests.

“He’s the victim in all of this. All he’s tried to do is look out for his players and now it’s twisted to make it look like he’s the mastermind behind this,” Jenkins told The Lantern.

“He didn’t automatically go snitch on his ÿve players; he withheld it, which is wrong

by NCAA standards, but he’s looking out for these kids like they’re his own. He could’ve been selÿsh and saved his neck.”

Tressel compiled a 241-79 record in 25 years as a head coach at Youngstown State and OSU. He won four I-AA championships at Youngstown State.

Tressel took over for John Cooper on Jan. 18, 2001, and immediately guaranteed at

halftime of OSU’s basketball game against Michigan that night that his Buckeyes would beat the rival Wolverines 310 days later.

In his second year at OSU, the Buckeyes won the National Championship, beating a heavily-favored Miami Hurricanes team, 31-24, in double overtime.

Tressel amassed a 106-22 mark at OSU, earning his 100th win Oct. 9, 2010, against Indiana.

The Buckeyes won, or shared, the Big Ten title seven times under Tressel, who guided OSU to a 9-1 mark against Michigan.

OSU reached the National Championship game in 2007 and 2008, but lost to Florida and LSU, respectively.

Laurinaitis said Tressel’s perceived image of perfection set him up to fail.

“Because Tressel wrote a book about his principles and then he screws up once, (everyone) thought he was perfect,” Laurinaitis said. “That’s the kind of thing that bothers me.

Everyone makes mistakes and he’d be the ÿrst to admit it.”

Tressel departs with the third-most victories of any OSU coach, behind Woody Hayes (205) and Cooper (111). Tressel’s .828 winning percentage tops both Hayes’ (.761) and Cooper’s (.715).

OSU football historian Jack Park said Tressel’s decade of winning will speak louder than his offseason of controversy.

“His legacy here as far as football at Ohio State will always be extremely high,” Park said. “It’s been tarnished a little bit here at the end because of his resignation. The same thing happened to Woody Hayes.”

Tressel told The Lantern in February that he did his best to match the lofty expectations placed upon his role each year.

“I know this: I’ve tried very hard. And I know there have been some good things that have occurred and some ones that haven’t been so good, neither of which have been because we didn’t try,” Tressel said. “I think our intentions have been good and I’ll always feel whenever that day comes that we tried like crazy. I also know that at Ohio State, you can’t win enough games and you can’t visit enough patients in the hospital and you can’t write enough encouraging notes to the military and you can’t send out enough little football cards to the kids that write in.

“I know you can’t be perfect and you can’t get everything done, but while you’re the Ohio State coach, you’ve got to work like crazy and do the best you can and feel good about trying.”

Nitrogen, precision CO2 and formulas may rekindle memories of chemistry lecture for many, but all are necessary components for Bodega’s new beer engine.

Located at the corner of Third Street and High Street in the Short North, Bodega, as of last week, Bodega has one of the only beer engines in Columbus.

A beer engine is a pump that is used to pour cask-conditioned beer. To pour the beer, the engine is pumped at intervals, like one would pump an old-fashioned water well. A small amount of priming sugar is added to the beer before tapping the keg, which creates a more natural carbonation during fermentation, and creates the cask-conditioned element.

The key difference in cask beer is its taste and mouthfeel, which is the texture of the beer, said Collin Castore, owner of Bodega.

“Cask beer is going to have a softer mouthfeel to it,” Castore said. “It has a more natural carbonation to it due to the priming sugars and the chemical reaction since the CO2 isn’t being forced into it. I guess the best way to describe it is that is has a Guinness-like mouthfeel.”

Though the process of tapping the keg and operating it are more tricky, Castore said there is a formula to get the carbonation set and running.

Castore said he decided to introduce the cask beer after attending beer classes in Chicago and that the new brew has gone over well during its first week.

“People seem to really like it,” he said. “All the casks we’ve put on have been blown in about two-to-three days.”

Some serve cask beer at room temperature, but Castore said serving the beer between 45 and 50 degrees is ideal for optimum flavor and that people tend to enjoy the beer below room temperature.

So far, Bodega has carried four casks total, including one from the Columbus Brewing Company.

Doug Funnie

Pope Benedict XVI

“The Sims 3 Generations” “Hunted: The Demon’s Forge” “BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II”

Doug Funnie The lead character from the hit, old-school Nickelodeon cartoon “Doug,” Doug might not seem like an obvious choice, but Doug and Tressel share one quality that doesn’t bond many others: They both wear vests. Though Doug would have to ditch his emerald vest for scarlet, all he’ll have to do is treat Michigan like Roger Klotz treated him, and he’ll be as golden as Patti Mayonnaise’s hair. Also, Jim Jinkins, the creator of the show, went to graduate school at Ohio State. Icing on the cake.

ARTS Editor

Head football coach Jim Tressel stepped down Monday, and although his replacement most likely won’t be named until after the conclusion of the forthcoming football season, we decided it’s not too early to take a look at which prominent figures from the arts and life world should be considered for the gig.

Sarah Palin

stating in his letter of resignation that God “has a plan” for he and his wife. In terms of conservative religious figures who have had to handle scandal and large groups of people, they don’t come much more perfect than the pope. And while there have probably been popes with less controversial backgrounds than the current one, there aren’t any other living popes, so Benedict will have to suffice.

Film Actors Guild Sarah Palin One of Tressel’s staples as a coach was his ultra-conservative play-calling. In terms of high-profile conservatives these days, you don’t get much more famous than Sarah Palin. While she may be weighing a run for president in 2012, she can use those tough instincts she gained by shooting wolves from helicopters to kick ass on the football field in the meantime.

The Film Actors Guild from “Team America: World Police” If we’re going to go for the politically conservative, we’re obligated to also look at politically liberal candidates as well. “Team America: World Police” offers up the finest selection of Hollywood’s most boisterous lefties, with Sean Penn as an obvious choice for head coach. Matt Damon could call plays to the players, shouting his trademark, “MATT DAMON!” much to the bewilderment of the squad. Tell them that every opponent will be made up of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and George W. Bush, and

Brüno they will have plenty of ammo to try to win every game.

Brüno From Sacha Baron Cohen’s 2009 satire about the role of homosexuality in America by the same name, Brüno would be a welcome change for those fans who have grown tired of Tressel’s conservative style. Brüno’s squad could replace running up the middle with “daintily skipping up the middle,” face paint could become glitter and the scarlet jerseys could become Nike-emblazoned lederhosen. I’m almost positive Buckeye fans would be completely OK with all of that.

Finding someone who can top Tressel’s winning percentage, wins over Michigan, Big Ten titles and BCS bowl wins might be tough, but when the end of next season comes around, plenty of well-qualified big names will be ready and waiting to fill his shoes. Athletic director Gene Smith and President E. Gordon Gee: You can thank me later for this list of recommendations.

3rd ‘Transformers’ aims to be less clunky than prior film

Courtesy of Paramount Pictures

‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ is scheduled to hit theaters June 29.

Though “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” made more than $800 million in worldwide box office, Michael Bay’s follow-up, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is looking to pick up the pieces left by its predecessor.

The third film in Michael Bay’s explosive franchise, “Dark of the Moon” looks to improve on the much maligned “Revenge of the Fallen,” a flick panned by critics to the tune of a 20 percent on review aggregator rottentomatoes.com.

Shia LaBeouf returns to play Sam Witwicky, though Megan Fox, much to the dismay of many male moviegoers, is gone. No worries, however. Bay commissioned Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to play a new female lead: Carly Miller.

There’s no sense in getting into an intricate plot synopsis for “Dark of the Moon” as, let’s face it, plot won’t really matter. Essentially, all you need to know is that the flick introduces a conspiracy theory regarding the moon landing …

and then downtown Chicago explodes into oblivion.

A thin story for a “Transformers” film is actually OK. It’s to be expected.

While this film has a good shot at topping $1 billion at the box office because it will be released in 3-D, its creative success (if you can even call it

that) hinges on how dumbed-down it is.

That’s why “Revenge of the Fallen” was so hated – it bypassed a weak script and went to total idiocy.

Basically, it comes down to this: Explosions – OK. Racist caricature robots and robot testicles – not OK. Bay has admitted that “Revenge” had its problems. Has he done enough to right the ship for “Dark of the Moon?” Early buzz says it might be so.

And how can you turn down the chance to see Transformers destroy cities in 3-D, and “real” 3-D at that?

“Dark of the Moon” will be harmless summer fun. There’s no denying that.

But will it also melt your brain cells?

Hopefully not, though chances are that’s already happened in trying to understand just what the heck the film’s title means.

This rendering shows a reading area at Columbus Commons. The OSU Urban Arts Space will be a part of Lunch on the Lawn, which will feature 10 artists from Ohio schools at Columbus Commons, beginning Wednesday.

The OSU Urban Arts Space and the Columbus Commons are joining forces with other city organizations to bring art and culture downtown every Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning Wednesday.

OSU Urban Arts Outdoors will be part of Lunch on the Lawn, located at the newly opened Columbus Commons park.

Urban Arts Outdoors will feature 10 artists from Ohio schools, selected in a competitive process, who will sell their work in booths around the commons’ lawn.

While 10 artists will be featured, their presence at the event depends on their availability June through August, said Zoey Boyles, deputy director of the OSU Urban Arts Space.

“We really wanted to distinguish it from the Pearl Alley (Farmers’) Market, which has been really successful nearby, so we thought to bring in an arts component with a unique outdoor gallery,” said Elise Yablonsky, project manager for Columbus Commons.

Featured artists include painters, photographers, screen printers and sculptors. Ten percent of the profits from the outdoor sales will go to OSU Urban

Arts Space, which covers the rental costs of the booths, payment processing and booth staffing at the event, Boyles said.

Lunch on the Lawn will also feature various food carts, a farmers’ market sponsored by the Harmony Project, live music and performances by local artists and a reading area provided by the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

“Downtown is the heart of the city, and we wanted to encourage that downtown community atmosphere,” said David Brown, founder of the Harmony Project, a non-profit that raises money by putting on volunteer choir concerts throughout the city. “We wanted to make art and healthy living accessible to everyone regardless of income by providing fresh vegetables and good food.”

Brown also mentioned the importance of the park’s location between Franklinton and the KingLincoln district of Columbus.

“These areas have been neglected for years,” Brown said. “We want to help in the rebuilding of these areas by promoting events like this. It helps strengthen the community.”

Aug. 31 is the last scheduled day for Lunch on the Lawn this summer.

“This is something that we would like to see continue next year and hopefully grow into an event that features more artists,” Boyles said. “We are just waiting to see what kind of materials are sold and the kind of turnout we will get.”

Putting the vest to rest: Dressing Fickell ARTS Columnist JUSTIN CONLEY conley.325@osu.edu

Jim Tressel’s resignation may have rocked Ohio State football Monday, but not everyone stands to lose something from the abrupt departure of the former head coach. Interim head coach Luke Fickell will now be stepping into the limelight for the 2011-2012 season, and to compete with iconic OSU figures like Tressel and university President E. Gordon Gee, Fickell will need one thing: a signature fashion piece. Tressel has his vest and Gee has his bow tie, so now I present a few options for the “Fickell” fashionista on the football field.

Option 1: A fedora This may seem like a bland option for a statement piece, but the fedora is all about connotation. Often seen atop the heads of private eyes and police detectives in old movies, the fedora would send a bold message to fans and players alike: Fickell is here to clean house. While Tressel may have lost himself amid a twisted web of infractions and cover-ups, Fickell would sweep into the program with his proverbial guns blazing to whip the team back into shape. And unlike former Dallas Cowboys Coach Tom Landry, Fickell would look good doing it.

Option 2: A tuxedo On top of being just about the flashiest option available and incorporating a Tressel-esque vest and Gee-like bow tie in one

powerhouse outfit, the tuxedo would provide Fickell a number of secret pockets in which he will be able to store an arsenal of super spy gadgets that could give the demoralized football team a much-needed edge on the field. An oil slick here, a bed of nails there, and Fickell has led his team to win the national championship, bringing OSU the chance to rejoice about its football program once more.

Option 3: Sunglasses With Fickell at the helm, the future of OSU football is undeniably bright, but the sunglasses aren’t just a reference to a cheesy ‘80s song (here’s looking at you, Timbuk3).

Like any mysterious warrior or superhero can tell you, covering the eyes creates the impression that you are more than a man.

Blade, the vampire hunter of comic book and cinematic fame, Horatio Caine, “CSI: Miami” super-sleuth and Neo from “The Matrix” have all taken advantage of the seemingly god-like powers sunglasses give, and Fickell is a prime candidate to stand in their company.

Option 4: Whatever the kids are wearing these days This may not be a single article of clothing, but the idea is still the same. Rather than coming in to clean house, Fickell might instead channel Donnie Brasco, infiltrating the football team as one of their peers. From this position, Fickell could reach out to the players and teach them important life lessons about when benefits received are improper, presumably while wearing a backward-turned baseball cap and using phrases like, “that s--- is whack” or “get on my level.” Using this approach, by the end of next season, Fickell could have the players celebrating a championship victory in slow motion while uplifting music expresses the harrowing journey from underdog to champion. Roll credits.

Option 5: Cellophane No, I’m not hoping for Fickell to arrive on field in a Gagainspired outfit crafted entirely out of the stuff people use to keep their sandwiches fresh ­— that would be weird. Apart from standing strong at the cutting edge of avant-garde fashion, Fickell would be sending the strongest message he possibly could — potentially while being arrested for public indecency.

In an effort to provide fans and administrators peace of mind, Fickell would show that the program can and will function with complete transparency. As surely as that plastic-wrapped sandwich that’s been in the back of your fridge since last quarter is still totally edible, Fickell would bring a fresh start to next year’s season that would undoubtedly pave the way to victory.

With any of these fashionable options, Fickell will be able to make a bold statement about the now-uncertain future of the OSU football program while cementing his own place in the university’s collective memory of fashionable icons. Put the vest to rest, there is a new game in town.

What do you think Fickell should wear?

Cask beer popular, intrigues connoisseurs of beer

A highlight of any distillery tour is a tasting straight from the cask, like this one offered at Glenlivit in Speyside, Scotland.

“That (CBC cask) just worked out great because we always like to promote local beers as much as possible,” Castore said. “CBC is really making some great beers, so we were really happy they came up with a cask for us.”

Bartender Chris Monday has served at Bodega for close to seven months and is very excited to have the cask beer available.

“I just learned what cask beer was shortly before they brought it here,” Monday said. “I’m interested in anything with natural fermentation and it just seems like a more healthy way for beer. The carbonation is not as harsh and the mouthfeel is smoother.”

Monday said the beer has been very popular, but connoisseurs are particularly intrigued by it.

“People who know what they are talking about really like to taste it, judge it and put in their two cents,” Monday said. “It is definitely for lovers of beer.”

One such customer is Mike Kunzer, who is also a

market manager for Great Lakes Brewing Company out of Cleveland.

“It’s something new, and in the craft beer industry, people are always looking for new ways of drinking beer,” Kunzer said. “There is nothing better than drinking a nice cask beer. It’s a fresh product, and when handled correctly, you’re going to get a full flavor out of it. I could go on and on.”

Kunzer said Great Lakes does offer cask beer but on a small scale because not many places have beer engines.

On the buyer’s end, Castore said it is a little harder to get the cask beers than other kegs of beer, but in the end, it is a worthy endeavor for Bodega.

“I think it has been worth it,” Castore said. “It expands the beer culture in Columbus, if you will, and it gives people a chance to try something out that they wouldn’t get to otherwise.”

Cask beer varies in price depending on the brewery. It is also usually served in pints, but can serving size can vary based on the volume of alcohol.

Buckeyes headed back to drawing board Following coach Jim Tressel’s resignation, interim head coach Luke Fickell will fill his shoes, but for how long?

ThOMAS BRAdlEy Senior Lantern reporter bradley.321@osu.edu Jim Tressel officially turned in his letter of resignation to Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith on Monday, marking an end of an era and opening the door to many possible replacements.

OSU announced in a press release that linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell will be the interim head coach for the 2011 season. The statement said a search for a new head coach has not begun.

“Recruitment for a new head coach — which is expected to include external and internal candidates — will not commence until the conclusion of the 2011–2012 season,” President E. Gordon Gee said in the press release.

While the university does not officially plan on searching for a replacement until the end of the season, the program could have several coaches on its radar already.

Urban Meyer, former Florida coach When the news broke Monday morning that Tressel had submitted his letter of resignation, the Twitterverse exploded with speculation. Immediately, OSU fans, college football fans, analysts and speculators began tweeting that Meyer would, and should, be Tressel’s successor. It came as a surprise to

none that “Jim Tressel” was trending in the U.S. What people might not have expected, however, was for “Urban Meyer” to trend nationwide for most of the day as well.

Tressel and Meyer have contrasting styles of offense: Tressel’s patented “keeping it close to the vest,” and Meyer’s “high-powered” spread offense. The success of both is undeniable.

In his relatively short career, Meyer boasts a strong résumé that includes two three-loss seasons at Bowling Green, an undefeated season at Utah and two national championships at Florida — one at the expense of Tressel’s 2007 Buckeye squad.

Meyer released a statement Monday regarding the news.

“I am committed to ESPN and will not pursue any coaching opportunities this fall,” Meyer said. “Jim Tressel has been a respected friend and colleague for a long time. I wish Jim and his family the very best now and in the future.”

Luke Fickell, OSU interim head coach Fickell will be the interim head coach for the 2011 season.

However, the role Fickell will play after next season is unclear.

Fickell knows the system as well as anybody. He has been in Tressel’s system for nine years, serving as special-teams coordinator, defensive line coach, linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator.

He also played for the Buckeyes from 1992–96 as a nose

Tressel resignation, uncertainty pose recruiting hurdles for OSU MiChAEl PERiATT Lantern reporter periatt.1@osu.edu Recruiting never was a problem for former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel.

But with the face of the program gone and an impending NCAA ruling, recruiting becomes a big worry. “(The resignation of Tressel) is a tremendous loss,” said Steve Helwagen, who covers OSU football recruiting for Bucknuts.com. “Recruits that we would interview over the years would say one of the reasons they chose Ohio State was the integrity and character of Jim Tressel, and he’s not there anymore.”

Luke Fickell will become the interim head coach, but, because his position isn’t permanent, the program is left with some uncertainty.

“With Luke Fickell being a interim coach, it basically puts the program in limbo,” Helwagen said. “I think for recruits who want to see the long-term stability of a program, Ohio State won’t be able to show anyone that until December or January at the earliest.”

The members of the 2011 recruiting class have already signed with OSU,

Add Jim Tressel to the list of Ohio State football coaching legends who were not able to leave on their own terms.

Woody Hayes. Earle Bruce. John Cooper. Jim Tressel.

The first three were fired. Tressel “resigned,” but seems as if the university gave him at least a slight push out the door. The last time an OSU coach left on his own terms was during the Korean War. “After meeting with university officials, we agreed that it is in the best interest of Ohio State that I resign as head football coach,” Tressel said in his letter of resignation. “The appreciation that Ellen and I have for the Buckeye Nation is immeasurable.”

Tressel brought this upon himself, make no mistake about it. Maurice Clarett, Troy Smith and Terrelle Pryor — Tressel’s three most high-profile players at OSU — were caught up in NCAA investigations. Was Tressel the one taking improper benefits? No. Did he try to cover it up or turn a blind eye? Yes. Being the head football coach at The Ohio State University is no easy task. You’re essentially carrying the banner of the university.

Jim Tressel didn’t deserve to go out this way.

His resignation officially signals that the responsibility for the football program’s various NCAA violations falls on one man.

Tressel even said as much in his resignation letter to athletic director Gene Smith — he is making “this decision for the greater good of our school.”

Though they originally came out in support of Tressel, Smith and university President E. Gordon Gee have made it clear — through months of silence since — that it was in the best interest of the school for him to resign.

Firing him would have been a public relations disaster. Tressel never seemed willing to step down until months of speculation — and maybe some internal pressure — apparently wore on him.

Though he was the head football coach, he is not the only one embroiled in this controversy.

While Smith issued public statements gently scolding the compliance and athletic departments’ role in educating players about NCAA rules, they remain unscathed while Tressel takes the fall.

Former Buckeye coach Dantonio familiar with program operations guard, finishing his career with 212 tackles and six sacks. He was on the 1996 team that won the Rose Bowl against Arizona State.

Fickell has no prior head-coaching experience, so he has one season to show OSU what he is capable of.

Mark Dantonio, Michigan State coach Dantonio left the Buckeyes in 2004 to pursue a head-coaching position at Cincinnati. He was defensive coordinator at OSU from 2001–03, including the 2002 National Championship against a heavily favored Miami (Fla.) squad.

Dantonio and his defensive staff were able to shut down the Hurricanes’ offense, which included current NFL players Andre Johnson, Kellen Winslow and Willis McGahee and notable college quarterback Ken Dorsey.

Because of his previous experience with the Scarlet and Gray, Dantonio is familiar with the Buckeyes’ system, and the transition would be easy for the players.

Dantonio now coaches at Michigan State and led the Spartans to an 11-2 record last season, claiming a share of the Big Ten Championship.

Jon Gruden, former NFL coach and ESPN analyst Former Super Bowl champion Gruden has proven over the past few years that he has the charm and savvy to talk football on TV. But this coach could be the fit OSU is looking for in its next coach.

Gruden already has two years of experience helping NFL-bound quarterbacks prepare for their future. Gruden’s ESPN miniseries “QB Camp” exposed Gruden on a national level as a charismatic character, a quality that can propel him to the job as a vicious recruiter.

Gruden visited OSU in late April and spent a few days watching and studying the Buckeyes. He spoke about freshman quarterback Braxton Miller, the perceived front-runner to start in 2012.

“They’ve got a hotshot guy in here from Dayton. No. 5 is all I know,” Gruden said. “Braxton is his name. He’s pretty darn good too.”

Pelini’s ties to OSU give the Buckeyes the option to pursue him, but a recent five-year deal with Nebraska made him the second-highestpaid coach in the Big Ten.

Bucknuts.com reported that defensive back Doran Grant also has voiced his intentions to stick with OSU. While the 2011 class appears to remain intact, future classes might be the most affected by the recent scandals.

Underwood said Tressel’s resignation and the NCAA allegations would affect the way future recruits go about making decisions about OSU. “I think some recruits would reopen their options,” he said.

“You have to go back and recruit the kids even harder.”

Kevin Noon, managing editor of Buckeyegrove.com, said OSU still will be a very strong option for all recruits, especially those in Ohio.

“I don’t think the loss of Jim Tressel is going to be enough to cripple Ohio State’s recruiting within the state of Ohio,” Noon said. “A lot of these kids grow up as Ohio State fans regardless of who the coach is.”

Tressel had the support of Ohio high school coaches throughout the entirety of the NCAA allegations. On Saturday,

the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association sent a letter of support to Tressel, university President E. Gordon Gee and athletic director Gene Smith.

“During the next few months, when some individuals may try to detract from the outstanding accomplishments that you and your staff have achieved, the OHSFCA wanted to go on record to show our loyalty and appreciation for you,” the letter said of Tressel. “You are without question the best thing to happen to Ohio Football in a long time, and we want you to know we hope you will continue to be here for a long time to come.”

Despite Tressel’s resignation two days later, Ohio high school coaches still support the university, even if Tressel is a part of it.

“It’s still the flagship program in the state of Ohio,” McKinley Senior High School football coach Ron Johnson said. “It’s one of the greatest programs in the country, and it’s not going to attract a low-quality coach. The program will carry on.”

Shaker Heights High School football coach Anthony Watkins agreed.

“It will not affect (the recruiting of) any of my student-athletes, in my perspective,” Watkins said. “It’s about his education, his playing career and all the people playing around him.

And all the people I’ve ever dealt with at Ohio State have been outstanding people.”

But, Noon said, OSU’s biggest worry isn’t its relation with high school coaches, but the upcoming NCAA ruling Aug. 12.

“The truth of the matter is Ohio State will always have good coaches in place, but the kids want to be able to play for rings and championships,” Noon said. “If the NCAA comes down and mandates that the Buckeyes will not be in the postseason for a couple of years, that’s where the real trouble comes in.”

Former coach Jim Tressel looks away from the media during a press conference March 8.

Mistakes from 1B

Tressel’s presence created his loyal following medical center or even President E. Gordon Gee. You have to be a presence in the community and portray a larger-thanlife personality. Tressel worked that to perfection, giving unyielding support to the troops, doing countless speaking engagements and donating to charities.

He even had to two nicknames, The Senator and The Vest, which gave him an unfailingly loyal following.

Tressel wrote two books, “The Winners Manual: For the Game of Life” and “Life Promises for Success: Promises from God on Achieving Your Best,” which reflected his extremely conservative style that produced an insane number of victories.

In his 10 seasons in Columbus, Tressel went 106-22. He won a share of seven Big Ten titles. He went to eight BCS bowl games, winning five, including the 2002 National Championship against

2B

the Miami Hurricanes, who were essentially a collegiate All-Star team.

But, if you’re going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk every step of the way or else you’re going to slip and fall. And, my oh my, did Tressel fall hard over the past year.

OSU athletic director Gene Smith, also under fire, weighed in, in a YouTube video released by OSU. “I do want to thank coach Tressel for his long service to our university,” Smith said. “There was a lot of people he touched in a highly positive way.

We were very thankful for his leadership during the years that we had great success on the field and off the field.”

So, who’s going to be the next head Buckeye? Popular opinion seems to boil down to two candidates: interim head coach Luke Fickell and former University of Florida coach Urban Meyer, who got one of his two BCS titles by embarrassing Tressel’s squad, 41-14, in the 2007 BCS Championship game.

Whoever gets the job better be ready for three things: exposure, pressure and eventual shame.

Legacy from 1B

Tressel’s lasting impression will live on The problem of breaking NCAA rules isn’t just with Tressel, a group of players or even within this university.

It’s a systemic issue, occurring at every institution.

People question Tressel’s ethics in his ignorance of inevitable NCAA violations back in April, after learning about them through former walk-on and Columbus lawyer, Christopher Cicero.

In the world of college athletics, which operates without any real moral standards anyhow, are Tressel’s actions really that despicable?

In the aftermath of his actions, he should be commended for the way he received the brunt of the backlash instead of running away to an undeserved multimillion-dollar deal in the NFL, and leaving someone else to clean up the pieces like Pete Carroll did with USC. It’s sad to see a man with Tressel’s principles — true-to-life principles, not an ethical code judged by flimsy rules by

which the NCAA governs — have to step down in such an ungraceful fashion.

Tressel has won 106 games, seven Big Ten titles, nine games against Michigan and the program’s first national championship since 1970. His departure merits a lot more fanfare.

More importantly than what happened on the field, was how he molded individuals. In a blog post from Saturday, linebacker Tyler Moeller said Tressel is a “great man that gives back to the world 24/7 and helps young kids like me grow into men; even the ones that everyone had already given up on like Ray Small.”

Moeller didn’t even mention former running back Maurice Clarett, who, like Small, went to the media to trash the program after a disgraceful exit.

Clarett, who ended up serving about 3 1/2 years in jail, stayed in constant contact with Tressel, who worked with Clarett to turn his life around — a testament to the true character of the embattled former coach.

The success on the field, and the character he displayed when it mattered most off it, is Tressel’s enduring legacy.

When he chose to hang up the vest, it didn’t deserve to be tattered like this.

The money you could be saving.

sports Buckeyes make tournament, fall short under new coach

Tressel’s resignation leaves Buckeye Nation confused, with mixed emotions

Facing the Minnesota Golden Gophers (24-23, 13-11 Big Ten) in a Big Ten Tournament elimination game, the Ohio State baseball team (26-27, 14-11 Big Ten) fell, 9-4, on Friday.

Illinois took the championship and automatic conference bid for the NCAA Tournament.

This was Greg Beals’ first season as coach of OSU, after replacing Hall of Fame coach Bob Todd.

The team finished one game below .500, marking the first time the Buckeyes had a losing record since 1987.

Beals did lead OSU back to the Big Ten Tournament, however, after Todd’s team missed the cut last season.

Beals said he was proud of how far the team came in his first year at OSU. “Of all the great teams in Ohio State baseball history, this team, this year, was the first team to sweep Michigan at home in Bill Davis Stadium,” Beals said. “This was the first team to go up and at Minnesota, and win a series on the road at Minnesota — first in history.”

Freshman outfielder Tim Wetzel said the team had a lot of guys fitting into new roles and that they all matured over the year.

“We all found our roles pretty early in the season, and then we all really stuck to that,” Wetzel said. “I think, in a game like this, that’s going to take us a long way.”

Beals said the players knew who they were and fought their “tails” off.

“I’ll remember these kids for the fight they had,” Beals said. “Whether they were as good or better or not as good, they just fought, and they fought, and they fought.”

The Buckeyes will lose seven seniors, including three everyday starters. This includes two starting pitchers and two relief pitchers, one of whom was Drew Rucinski, a second-team All-Big Ten selection.

Beals said the team has eight incoming players signed to national letters of intent and seven verbal commitments.

“I’m looking forward to next year, playing with all these guys — except for those seven seniors that will be gone,” sophomore catcher Greg Solomon said. “They did a hell of a job this year.”

Beals said the bar has been set high for OSU baseball and that, in the future, the team needs to

Infielder Tyler Engle rounds 2nd base during the Buckeyes’ 5-4 loss against Big Ten Tournament champion Illinois on Thursday. take care of business so chances to make the Big Ten Tournament are not in jeopardy.

“Playing baseball the right way and maximizing the game of baseball is what me and my coaching staff are going to push every day in this program,” Beals said. “It was something that was an absolute necessity for this season, and it’s something that I think for great baseball, where we want this program to go, it’s going to be a necessity in the future also.”

SPORTS Columnist

Todd Avery Lantern reporter avery.82@osu.edu

Having spent most of my 22 years of life in Columbus, and being a current student at The Ohio State University, one would think that I, of all people, would have an opinion — or at least a coherent thought — about the resignation of former OSU football coach Jim Tressel.

But I just don’t.

The disaster that has been the OSU football program since the Dec. 23 announcement that six players had been suspended for a portion of the 2011 season for breaking NCAA rules has ultimately left me with feelings of numbness, confusion and indifference toward my hometown Buckeyes.

A part of me thinks Tressel got what he deserved. He withheld, and lied about, information to NCAA officials regarding his players’ violations. No man, no matter how great of a coach, is bigger than the university, and Tressel’s resignation was inevitable.

But, another part of me wants to blame the players.

their memorabilia to Eddie Rife at the Fine Line Ink tattoo parlor, Tressel wouldn’t have been put into the position to lie to protect his players.

And, at the same time, part of me wants to blame Tressel for recruiting these players, particularly Pryor, in the first place. Whether it be Maurice Clarett, Troy Smith, Ray Small or Pryor, there always has been at least one headache-inducing player on each of Tressel’s teams, and it ultimately caught up to him.

Another part of me is upset that OSU just lost one of the best coaches in college football. Regardless of how it ended, no one can deny the merits of his 106-22 record, 2002 national title and five BCS Bowl wins at OSU. But then another part of me is excited for the change of pace that Tressel’s permanent replacement will bring. Show me a Buckeye fan who hasn’t secretly fantasized about Urban Meyer

pacing the sidelines at the Shoe as his spread offense destroys opposing Big Ten defenses, and I’ll show you a liar.

However, despite being mentally divided about who to blame and whether to be scared or excited by Tressel’s resignation, my brain can agree on one thing, and that’s the source of my confusion.

I can take solace in knowing that OSU is not the only campus on which these types of violations occur, but the way in which Tressel and school officials handled the matter should be used as a lesson to aspiring public relations students on how not to do their jobs. It should never have come to this, with allegations and revelations about Tressel and the Buckeyes being a fixture of each day’s news. Yet, thanks to the potential that comes along with the OSU program, my disappointment is joined by feelings of confusion and optimism.
