Snell played for the Buckeyes from 1961-63, lining up on both sides of the ball as a fullback/halfback on offense and as a defensive end on defense. He earned team MVP honors in 1963 after leading the Buckeyes with 491 rushing yards and five touchdowns, and was named to Ohio State’s All-Century Team in 2000 as a defensive end.

The New York Jets selected Snell with the No. 4 overall pick in the 1964 AFL draft. A native of North Hempstead, New York, Snell played for the Jets from 1964-70. A three-time AFL All-Star who ran for 4,285 yards and 60 touchdowns across seven seasons, Snell is best known for his performance in Super Bowl III, where he ran for 121 yards and a touchdown to lead the Jets to a 16-7 victory over the Baltimore Colts.

Maybe they were visionaries

Sources: Jets get their QB, trade with Raiders for Geno Smith​

After a nine-year separation, the New York Jets and quarterback Geno Smith are together again.

Instead of waiting for him to be released, the Jets traded for Smith on Tuesday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jets are sending a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Smith and a 2026 seventh-rounder, sources told Schefter.

Smith was in the Jets' facility Tuesday morning and passed a physical, a source said.

Just sayin': Just how good is Geno Smith you ask? Last year at this time the Seahawks traded their 3 year starting QB (Geno Smith) to the Raiders. This past season the Seahawks won the SuperBowl and the Raiders have the 1st draft pick.....

Pitt with a put back with .7 seconds left to upset Stanford in the opening round of the ACC tourney. CBS had Stanford in the last 4 in and Lunardi had them in the first 4 out. They are eliminated now with this loss

That's funny because just yesterday ESPN CBB commentators were hyping up Stanford and saying they could make a run in the ACC tourney, upset Virginia and make the tournament.

Jeebus. And the hits just keep coming. WTF has been going on with the Trustees and Administration?
We sit here and make fun of TCUN for all of their issues when it looks like we are living in a big glass house.

The trustees are dominated by Wexner cronies. The Chair is literally his personal lawyer, and Slapshot was brought in to be a puppet for Wexner...to block any investigation into his knowledge of the Strauss debacle, to keep his name slapped on everything and to allow his "wife's" continued meddling in the medical center. This will not be a good hiring process. No a-list type of candidates that we could have attracted four years ago will be interested.

At least Slapshot wasn't here long enough to do any real damage to admissions, research or fundraising.

Starting to look like Slapshot was using university money to prop up his girlfriend's podcast. Fucking bum.
