The plastic looks as weathered and beaten as the sentiment. Some Tressel Buckeyes . fans are no longer convinced that Jim Tressel is all that fearsome : Sure, he still wins 80 percent of his games, has a 7-1 record against Michigan, still wins Big Ten titles and his teams finish in the top 10. Those accomplishments are more than enough to place him among the most famous ; and highest- paid, residents of Ohio. But in just over two seasons, stinging losses on the national stage to Florida, LSU, Southern California, Penn State and· Texas .....: three of those in major posiseason &ames - have left a vocal mmority of fans' questioning their ultra-successful coach and his game plans. Make no mistake, though, Tressel still has the confidence of his bosses. "All I have to say is there are 120 Division 1-A schools in this country and 119 of them would love to have my problems," Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee said of the fallout from the Buckeyes· recent series of hi1;h-profile losses. Oh10 State. athletic director Gene Smith went to Tressel last summer and offered to bump the coach's salary $1 million to make ·him the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten . The raise means Tressel. as of last Sunday, is making $3 .5 mill ion per year. Ohio's governor. Ted Strickland , is paid $144,831 per year - less than I /20th what Tressel makes . Smith believes that Tressel, who declined to be interviewed , is worth every penny . "I've always felt that it was appropriate to keep him right at the top.'' Smith said of Tressel's salary in <;omparison to other conference football coaches . "If you look at his body of work, which we always talk about, he 's done everything that we've asked him to do.

The five teams which have been No. I this season are from two conferences: North Carolina, Wake Forest and Duke of the Atlantic Coast Conference and · Pittsbur~h and Connecticut of the Btg East. The record for consecutive weeks with a different No. I is seven in the 199394 season. , This is Connecticut's first point deficit Sunday before the Steelers' final drive. Warner also had to watch from sidelines in 2002, as Tom Brady drove the Patriots to the winning field goal against the Rams. It wasn 't the only similarity Sunday to Super Bowls past. In some ways. this year's edition mirrored last season's. . The winning TO game came on a pass fro!)l Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds left in the game , the same time remaining a year ago when the Giants scored to beat New England l7' 14 . . The Steelers' game-winning drive started from their own 22 with 2:42 left in the game; the Giants' drive began from their 17 with 2:39 remaining. Holmes was voted the game's MVP.with 9 catches for 131 yards.lt was for him redemption in two ways .

Hartford , Conn. , Wednes day. COLUMBUS (AP) -On the driver side door of a pickup truck parked in a suburban driveway is a magnetic sign that says, "Fear Tressel." The plastic looks as weathered and beaten as the sentiment. Some Tressel Buckeyes . fans are no longer convinced that Jim Tressel is all that fearsome : Sure, he still wins 80 percent of his games, has a 7-1 record against Michigan, still wins Big Ten titles and his teams finish in the top 10. Those accomplishments are more than enough to place him among the most famous ; and highest- paid, residents of Ohio. But in just over two seasons, stinging losses on the national stage to Florida, LSU, Southern California, Penn State and· Texas .....: three of those in major posiseason &ames - have left a vocal mmority of fans' questioning their ultra-successful coach and his game plans. Make no mistake, though, Tressel still has the confidence of his bosses. "All I have to say is there are 120 Division 1-A schools in this country and 119 of them would love to have my problems," Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee said of the fallout from the Buckeyes· recent series of hi1;h-profile losses. Oh10 State. athletic director Gene Smith went to Tressel last summer and offered to bump the coach's salary $1 million to make ·him the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten . The raise means Tressel. as of last Sunday, is making $3 .5 mill ion per year. Ohio's governor. Ted Strickland , is paid $144,831 per year - less than I /20th what Tressel makes . Smith believes that Tressel, who declined to be interviewed , is worth every penny . "I've always felt that it was appropriate to keep him right at the top.'' Smith said of Tressel's salary in <;omparison to other conference football coaches . "If you look at his body of work, which we always talk about, he 's done everything that we've asked him to do. You know all the stats . He's just done a great job for us." Tressel, 56, continually swats aside q\lestions about how long he'll coach . Yet his new contract - which AP photo Please see Poll, 81 Please see Tressel, B6 �P~Jge B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysen~el.com ·Tile OVP Scoreboard GALUA ACADEMY EASTERN 31 7 Eastern Ga!Kpolis t5 9 t6 11 6 54, 4 17 - 31 54 Cots.

"I look, at it like winning a good in-season tournament like Maul, it's an accomplishment for a minute, a day an hour, a week or whatever, but you want to be there in April," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said Monday. "It's still a nice little niche. Out of 343 Division I teams how many have a chance to be No. I? So it is nice to be there." The Huskies· time there will be challenged immediately as they played at No. 5 Louisville on Monday night ''This will be our fourth game in eight days and we have played in Chicago. South Bend and now here;· Calhoun said at his team's morning shootaround. ''That's life in the Big East.'" Connecticut received 64 first-place. votes from the 72-member national media ; panel to easily outdistance :Ok.lahoma {21-1), which - moved up from fourth. The Sooners were last ranked No. 2 in the 2002-03 season. The Sooners were No. I on five ballots. Connecticut as also ranked No. I in the women ·s poll. the fourth season in which both programs from that school have been on top. 'Til keep on saying something is going on in Storrs," Calhoun said with a laugh. "I don't know if anybody is listenin~. but there's something gomg on in Storrs." · North Carolina, which received three first-place votes, went from fifth to third and was followed by Duke, Louisville, Piusburgh. Wake· Forest. Marquette. Xavier and Clemson. Just as the top of the poll keeps changing so does the bottom. Three teams moved in this week: Minnesola returned after a one-week absence. Defending national champton Kansas had been out seven weeks. Utah joined for the first time this season. Butler moved from 13th to No. II and was followed J:>y Purdue, Michigan Stale. Memphis. UCLA, Texas. V~lanova. Gonzaga, Mmnesota and Syracuse. The last five ranked teams were Kansas, Washington. Illinois. Arizona State and Utah State. Saint Mary's {18-3), which lost two games last week and had Patrick Mills, it best player. break his hand, and Kentucky (16-6) · both fell out after bemg ranked for the one week. Georoetown {12-8) dropped out from 25th after losing its fifth straaght game. The Hoyas were ranked all season, gelling aS high as No.9 . which was when the losing streak began. . With Georgetown falhng out. the Big East is down to six teams in the Top 25. The 16-team league set the record earlier this with nine teams in the poll in one week. The ACC and Big Ten both have four teams in the rankings. Utah State (21-1) is ranked for lhe first time since a six-week run in 2003-04. The Agsies. have won 16 straight smce their only loss to BYU . Bowl title. After a short night. he told reporters Monday. he's appreciating the Steelers and their fans more all the time. "It's generational,"' he said. "It's passed down from father to son. The more I'm m the organization, the more' I understand it. It's part of the fabric of peoples' lives.'' It's a game Pittsburghers certainly will remember for a long time. It might even have been the best in the recent run of title-game dramas, played out before an estimated TV audience of 95.4 million - second only to last year's Super Bowl for U.S. ratings. . There were 23 poinls scored in the final 7 1/2 minutes of the game. Sixteen straight were by the Cardinals to overcome a 20-7 deficit. But the Steelers got the final seven. Two of Arizona's points were on a safety that narrowed to 20-16 when Pittsburgh's Justin Hartwig was called for holding in the end zone on a third down play. Tomlin said Monday that was moot because the Steelers would have taken a safety on their own if with the ball on their 1-yard-line at that point. "It's tough to get off a punt against them from 15 yards, let alone 10 or II," he said. The Cardinals scored again 21 seconds later on a 64-yard TD pass from Warner to • Larry Fitzgerald. But they scored too quickly, giving Pittsburgh time to come right back and notch its record sixth Super Bowl victory. Tomlin , first hired by Tony Dungy in Tampa Bay, followed Dungy as the second black coach to win the title game. "Guys like coach Dungy have paved that road, and I've just got to walk down it," he said. "It makes it all sweeter that I consider him a personal friend of mine.''

'Til keep on saying something is going on in Storrs," Calhoun said with a laugh. "I don't know if anybody is listenin~. but there's something gomg on in Storrs." · North Carolina, which received three first-place votes, went from fifth to third and was followed by Duke, Louisville, Piusburgh. Wake· Forest. Marquette. Xavier and Clemson. Just as the top of the poll keeps changing so does the bottom. Three teams moved in this week: Minnesola returned after a one-week absence. Defending national champton Kansas had been out seven weeks. Utah joined for the first time this season. Butler moved from 13th to No. II and was followed J:>y Purdue, Michigan Stale. Memphis. UCLA, Texas. V~lanova. Gonzaga, Mmnesota and Syracuse. The last five ranked teams were Kansas, Washington. Illinois. Arizona State and Utah State. Saint Mary's {18-3), which lost two games last week and had Patrick Mills, it best player. break his hand, and Kentucky (16-6) · both fell out after bemg ranked for the one week. Georoetown {12-8) dropped out from 25th after losing its fifth straaght game. The Hoyas were ranked all season, gelling aS high as No.9 . which was when the losing streak began. . With Georgetown falhng out. the Big East is down to six teams in the Top 25. The 16-team league set the record earlier this with nine teams in the poll in one week. The ACC and Big Ten both have four teams in the rankings. Utah State (21-1) is ranked for lhe first time since a six-week run in 2003-04. The Agsies. have won 16 straight smce their only loss to BYU . Bowl title. After a short night. he told reporters Monday. he's appreciating the Steelers and their fans more all the time. "It's generational,"' he said. "It's passed down from father to son. The more I'm m the organization, the more' I understand it. It's part of the fabric of peoples' lives.'' It's a game Pittsburghers certainly will remember for a long time. It might even have been the best in the recent run of title-game dramas, played out before an estimated TV audience of 95.4 million - second only to last year's Super Bowl for U.S. ratings. . There were 23 poinls scored in the final 7 1/2 minutes of the game. Sixteen straight were by the Cardinals to overcome a 20-7 deficit. But the Steelers got the final seven. Two of Arizona's points were on a safety that narrowed to 20-16 when Pittsburgh's Justin Hartwig was called for holding in the end zone on a third down play. Tomlin said Monday that was moot because the Steelers would have taken a safety on their own if with the ball on their 1-yard-line at that point. "It's tough to get off a punt against them from 15 yards, let alone 10 or II," he said. The Cardinals scored again 21 seconds later on a 64-yard TD pass from Warner to • Larry Fitzgerald. But they scored too quickly, giving Pittsburgh time to come right back and notch its record sixth Super Bowl victory. Tomlin , first hired by Tony Dungy in Tampa Bay, followed Dungy as the second black coach to win the title game. "Guys like coach Dungy have paved that road, and I've just got to walk down it," he said. "It makes it all sweeter that I consider him a personal friend of mine.''

In yesterday's auction, South bid ore spade, Norlh raised lo two sp.des, and South rebid three diamonds, Usual~ thiS means thai Sooth's hand is loo strong to pass out two spades, but not strong enough to jump to four spades. He IS making what is ~led a help-suit gametry, He wants North lo look at his wa· mood hdding and to judge the poo.\'er ot his hand primarily on thai, nol so mucti on his rugh-card content if he has a useful ~amend hdding, he 1umps to lour spades. If he has lousy diamonds, he signs off in three spades. , OccasionaUy, though, North will have a maximumhand with great ~amends, He signifies this by raising diamonds.

He wins with his heart ace, · cashes lhe club king, and plays a low club to the dummy.When West discards, Soulh ruffs a heart, takes the club queen, crosses to the spade ace, draws lhe last trump, pitching his low diamond, and claims.

(AP) - A former athletic compliance officer who claims Marshall University used him as a scapegoat said Mondav he has settled a lawsuit against the university and several officials for an undisclosed amount. The lawsuit filed by David Ridpath was Sl'heduled to go to trial this week. before U.S. District Judge Chuck Chambers in Huntington. But lawyers notified the court Monday of the pending settlement. Ridpath · claimed he was blarned after the university was placed on four years . probation and was stripped of Some football and basketball . scholarships. Ridpath was demoted after the sanctions were imposed in 200 I and was fired in 2003. The lawsuit had named Marshall's Board of governors. then-president Dan Angel, then-football coach Bob Pruett and genera! counsel F. Layton Cottrill. It had sought $1 million in damages and alleged fraud, breach of contract and violations of Ridpath's free speech and due process rights. · . Ridpath , who now is an assistant professor at Ohio University, declined to reveal the amount of the settlement but called it "fair." He . said the amount will likely be released once the settlement is completed in the next few days. ·• I • m obviously · reI i eve d NorEBOOK that this pain f u I episode is over for me. my family and for Marshall as well," Ridpath told The Associated Press. "It enables both parties to move on." Charleston attorney Charles Bailey, who repre· sented Marshall in the lawsuit. and Chuck. Jones. director of the state Board of Ri sk · and Insurance Management. the state's liability insur.mce carrier, said they had not seen a signed agreement and declined comment Monday. Pruett's attorney. Edward Kowal of Huntington, didn 't immediately return a telephone message. Ridpath was hired as assistant athletic director in charge compliance in 1997. According to the lawsuit, after he reported some academic violations to the NCAA in 1999. he became aware that some studentathletes were receiving improper employment assistance at the McCorkle Machine Shop in Huntington, which is owned by Marshall booster Marshall Reynolds. Reynolds was cited by the NCAA in December 200 I . for providing extra work benefits for Marshall athletes. The school was ordered to sever all ties with the Huntington multimillionaire for at least five years. Reynolds has said he was wrongly saddled with most of the blame by the university during the NCAA investigation. Ridpath was reassigned in 200 I to the position of director of judicial programs and, according to the lawsuit, . his position was terminated two years later allegedly because of negative comments he made during the NCAA investigation. · As part of the settlement, · Marshall has agreed to clarify to the NCAA that Ridpath was not involved in major violations.
