"We've won the (coin) toss a lot this year. It's amazing," Tressel said.
A reporter then asked who calls the coin flip.
"That's a good question," Tressel said.
According to the coach, he does not tell the captains whether they should call "heads" or"tails."
The consensus is that the captains are calling "tails" more often and are winning the coin tossmore than losing it.
As for Tressel's weekly word count, "game," "think," "thought" and "better" were used the moston Tuesday.
