Wow. I royally f’ed up question #4. Thats what I get for being stupid.

My basic point was going to be this: Berry is much more like Boom (ie shifty, speed type guys), and Hyde is obviously a bruiser. If Boom stays healthy, then Hyde will will get some short yardage work and Berry will get 5 or so carries as a backup. If Boom gets hurt, Berry would become the “starter” (I would expect Pryor to be oru leading rusher in games where Boom is hurt), and Hyde’s role changes very little.

Anyway, love the idea, look forward to doing it again, and wouldn’t mind hosting one in the near future, either.

Todd (Not Boeckman), I couldn’t think of a witty enough comeback so I again turned to Santonio Holmes for my response…….this is what he had to say:

“I’m so great I chest bump myself.”

I’m not entirely sure what he means. When I asked him to explain he just looked at himself in the mirror repeating “You are great” over and over…….I was creeped out so I left.

I’m in favor of Evege seeing playing time if he changes his number to 25.

Let there be a rule – if your name is Donnie, you’re a DB, and you’re playing for Ohio State then you must wear #25. All in favor?

Wahoooo! I won the most awards……I think this makes me the roundtable MVP!

I had a little trouble writing my speech so I had Santonio Holmes write it for me:

“I’d like to thank myself for being great. I want to continue to be as great as I am so that I can have the greatest of the great responses on ourhonordefend, since I am so great. This is the best feeling ever, even better than when my kids were born………..I am great.”

Whoops – I’m a little buzzed and forgot reason #2: Reminiscing makes me feel old. I’m hitting the big 4-Oh this year and remembering that I saw Archie live, along with all the rest of my Buckeye faves, is fun but carries the sting of my advancing years.

Gracias, Vico; I was beginning to wonder whether anyone knew WTF I was talking about WRT Ray.

I could’ve reminisced about watching Ray in the ‘Shoe; I even got to see Archie play in person – as a matter of fact, I’ve been to at least one home game every year since 1974, and there were lots of years when I was at all of them. One of the great regrets of my life is that I gave up my ticket to the ’85 Iowa game to my brother’s girlfriend (a fact that I was reminded of every time I went to Joe’s and saw that damn goalpost behind the bar). There are a couple reasons why I didn’t reminisce and usually don’t:

1. It smacks a little to me of I’m-a-better-fan-than-you-ism, and I don’t like to play that game. A related aspect is the whole “who was the best (position)” thing – or, in this case, “who was the best Griffin”. Other than the punks, malingerers and fuckups like Germany, Irizarry, Rambo, Ross (Lydell, that is) et. al., I love them all. Don’t believe me? My favorite non-legend Buckeye ever is Eric Kumerow.

Thanks a lot for the shout-outs. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we love what you’re doing, and it’s nice to get a little love back.

Consider yourself chest bumped.
