Your lists are pretty good, and you would both know better than me. But I'll give mine anyway.<br /><br /> I initially thought Joey Galloway over Boston because he seemed more dynamic (and frankly I always loved the guy for some reason, even 15 years later when I drafted him 3 consecutive years in fantasy when he was in his late 30s). But I suppose numbers don't lie, so Boston certainly makes sense. But it's my list, so I'll give it to Joey.<br /><br />Also, Pace for sure. The late Korey Stringer probably could have made it until Pace took over for him and made him and everyone else look inferior. (I still can't believe those two played together for a couple of years. Good luck trying to stuff the run!) I think Orlando might have invented using the word "pancake" to describe blocking someone. <br /><br />Obviously Eddie makes it. Just when I thought they would never be able to replace the likes of Butler B'Note and Raymont Harris, this guy comes along and wins a Heisman. Not bad.<br /><br />If your excluding coaches, then 4th I'd have to give to a linebacker. Lauranitis, Hawk and others are fresher in our memories and are having better NFL careers, but I'd have to give the 4th spot to Andy Katzenmoyer. He was a freak out there. (Remember how much Brent Musberger loved calling him the "Big Kat"). <br /><br />Anyway, that's my list: George, Pace, Galloway and Katzenmoyer.

I remember him as a pro but not a Buckeye.<br /><br />Pace was an enormous gaff on my part. He probably makes it over Boston, but obviously at least deserved HM.

It's <b>always</b> like that on a Mount _____more list - the first three seem easy and the fourth you have to pick from a population.<br /><br />Woody Hayes' first head coaching job: that's right, New Philadelphia High School. Our stadium is Woody Hayes Quaker Stadium. I like to think he called dover a "school up north."<br /><br />I'm going to take a little different tack from you. Like I did for my one Tribe post, I'm going to pick only players from my career as a fan, 1985-present, and I'm excluding coaches, all respect to Tressel and Hayes (and even Cooper).<br /><br />I'll go with:<br /><br /><b>Chris Spielman</b><br />Two-time All-American and the best Buckeye defender I've ever seen. No one played harder or had more respect from his teammates, and he's only one of two Bucks so far from my fan career to make the CF HoF. I wore #36 in pee-wee football as a tribute.<br /><br /><b>Eddie George</b><br />I think you covered this gentleman.<br /><br /><b>Orlando Pace</b><br />I have simply never seen an offensive lineman this dominant. The guy won two Lombardis, an Outland, even got fourth in the <i>Heisman</i> voting as a <i>tackle</i>, and the term "pancake" was basically invented for him.<br /><br />And as always, the fourth is the hardest. I've got Troy Smith, Cris Carter, Mike Doss, Chris Gamble, and AJ Hawk.<br /><br />I'm taking <b>Troy Smith</b> in a really hard decision, but the guy won the Heisman and beat the school up north three times.<br />Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13047104184007592041noreply@blogger.com
