Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel says LeBron James is welcome at this weekend's game between No. 12 Miami and the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium.

Tressel said Thursday that the state of Ohio has to let go of all their anger towards James, who left for the Heat as a free agent this summer.

"Sore subjects need to pass," Tressel said. "Things are as they are. We all make decisions. You have to respect one another's decisions and move on."

On some message boards and college football sites, angry fans have said they do not want James coming to the game.
