Man, I can’t wait to see Cody Glenn destroy some opposing running backs and unsuspecting receivers this fall. It’s going to be fun.

Glenn, may have surprised some, including himself, by making the move from running back to linebacker for his final season in Lincoln. BUt if you listen to him speak to Lincoln Journal Star reporter, Brian Christopherson, the guy is ready to play.

“The biggest thing about me is I just want to win,” he says. “That’s the bottom line. Whatever it takes. If I have to kick the ball, whatever I’ve got to do.”

Regarding how he was treated by Loserhan’s crew, Glenn is equally forthcoming.

“I can tell you this,” Glenn says. “If Coach (Bo) Pelini hadn’t been here and we kept the same staff, I wouldn’t have been here. It’s just the way I felt. I don’t feel I was treated fairly. I wasn’t given the same opportunity as maybe some others. It’s hard. You just kind of question your ability: ‘Can I do this?’ or ‘Am I not good enough?’ So I kind of saw with Coach Pelini getting here as kind of a blessing.”

Glenn’s not the only one. I don’t know how many fans would be here this fall either. But thankfully, we took care of that sordid business and now it’s time to focus on fall camp and the season beyond.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was in Youngstown area, where the local press asked him some questions, one about Bo Pelini.

“It’s something we’re very proud of. A lot of great coaches come out of this Valley and get trained in this Valley. Bo Pelini is going to do a good job. He’s competitive and I think he’s got the right perspective. He’s going to build something bigger than a program and bigger than a team. It’s going to be a full, comprehensive experience for his players. And he’s going to have his guys playing good football too. He’s going to have them doing well in the classroom and representing Nebraska well.”

I’d love to see Ohio State on the schedule someday.
