He was the first player in Western PA history to rush for over 400 yards - a record that stood for 17 years. . He is stilll considered to be one of the top Western PA football players of all time - many rank him in the top 5. Very impressive when you consider the group that included: Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Jim Brady, Dan Marino, Tony Dorsett, Brian Davis, Curtis Martin, LaVar Arrington, Ty Law .... (many more - I'll stop here) ........ . While the decision to attend Ohio St was a good one for Baschnagel, some friends and fans had hoped he would attend Penn State. There are many that feel he could have been a Heisman Trophy candidate (at RB) had he attended Penn State. Regardless, he was a valuable member of the Ohio St football team, a two time Academic All-American (1974, 1975) and recipient of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame scholarship award (1975). . Unlike many top athletes, this one was equally as impressive off the field as on. Yes - truly a legend. . .

Remove the bangs, put on some glasses and slap on some olive skin and that picture basically is me when the Buckstache is rocking. But yes, if Brian Baschnagel spots this, I would be pleased. There's a lot of Buckeye legends out there that aren't given their just due: Earle Bruce, Marcus Marek, Gary Williams, Jeff Uhlenake and many more. Balls Baschnagel is one of them, and probably the biggest one from the seventies, in my opinion. This is true.

Is he going to become the new Earle Bruce for our website, in that we'll try to cater so much to him hoping he notices us and sends us a nice regard?
