Toledo asks fans to trade scarlet for blue
Toledo football coach Tim Beckman has a history with Ohio State and coach Jim Tressel. not only did Beckman coach for Tressel in 2005 and ‘06, but his father, Dave, played at Baldwin-Wallace for Tressel’s father, Lee, who coaches B-W.
But that doesn’t mean he’s not trying to gain more Toledo fans heading into the Rockets’ matchup with Ohio State on Saturday at Cleveland Stadium.
On Monday, Toledo asks people to trade in scarlet OSU apparel for free replacement Toledo T-shirts during Beckman’s weekly coaches show on Monday.
Beckman referenced the event on his Twitter account.
Thanks to all students & fans for your support last night @ my radio show! I am glad u trade in ur scarlet gear for some midnight blue ones
It’s also interesting to see the way Beckman is using Twitter as a recruiting tool more than information for fans. He certainly asks for fan support, but he also includes thoughts like these near the end of tweets:
Out looking for champions on and off the field. Join the 2010 Rockets
Come be coached bt UT Coaches & Players!
Join the Rockets in 2010 & WIN big
