CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jim Tressel is cruising along the highway as he makes the two-hour trek to Youngstown from Columbus.
He catches up on his phone calls and, when he finally gets that short burst of solitude, he fidgets with his radio. Maybe he'll tune it to CNN Radio to get up to speed on his news. Maybe he'll browse the country music stations. He enjoys the band Rascal Flatts -- "they're good, Ohio boys, two of them" -- and he's seen singers Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift in concert in recent years.
Maybe Tressel will seek out some Rolling Stones or Elton John or Billy Joel.
