    "I'm excited about the honor of being with the wrestling Buckeyes," Tressel said. "There is no team I cherish competing with more than Michigan, because the two programs are great schools, with two of the nation's top programs, made up of some of the finest performers in the world in their rugged sport.

    It means a packed house, making noise from start to finish, creating memories for themselves and their fans for a lifetime."

    Throughout the 2007-08 home schedule, the Buckeyes have named an honorary coach to sit on the Buckeye bench. Joining Tressel as an honorary coach vs. Michigan is president and CEO of The Dispatch, Mike Curtain.

    Tressel and Ohio State men's basketball head coach Thad Matta and women's basketball head coach Jim Foster currently have a combined 20-1 record against Michigan. In seven seasons, Tressel is 6-1 vs. the Wolverines. Matta owns a 6-0 ledger in three years leading the Buckeyes and Foster has an 8-0 mark in six seasons at Ohio State.
