Ah, The beginning of a new year.

With Ohio State's first win in a BCS bowl game since 2005, people are already speculating what will become of the talent-laden Buckeyes. Tressel, the classy guy he is, is already telling his players to prepare themselves, and not to listen to what the media says, negative or positive.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is warning his players not to buy into the buzz that is certain to surround the Buckeyes after their 26-17 win over Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

“First thing coach Tress mentioned to us when we had our first meeting after winning the Rose Bowl was DBTH – “Don’t Believe the Hype,” senior cornerback Chimdi Chekwa said.“Right now we’re getting a lot of hype and this is going to be a great season next year, but right now what we’re trying to do is just get back to the basics.”

Another storyline surronding spring camp, is the play of Tyler Moeller. The linebacker never got to play a game last season, due to the cheap shot given to him in a Florida bar. He was down as a starter then, but will look to come back and fight for it again. He is sounding like he has gotten better, but needs to be about 98 percent, if Ohio State's doctors say so. If we get him back, expect a fierce competitor come spring.

Jordan Hall, the tailback from Jeanette, said he will change his number to 7 from 29, due to Laamar Thomas transferring to NMU. Jaamal Berry, ITS's favorite running back until further notice, will look to compete for a job as he recovers from a hamstring injury, and finally, Kenny Guiton will give a go at taking over the back up position behind Terrelle Pryor at the quarterback spot.
