Holy Buckeye!


THE STARS WERE ALIGNED. I had a blast on the latest 12th Warriors Happy Hour with Michael Jenkins. The Ohio State legend joined members of Eleven Warriors’ selfless perks program on Thursday to discuss his college career, NFL career and life after football.

I could share many details about the call — and I likely will in the future — but I have to start with Jenkins’ breakdown of Holy Buckeye. Eleven Warriors ranked last offseason as Ohio State’s No. 1 play since 2000, which Jenkins called “special.”

“It’s pretty wild to think of,” Jenkins said. “When you go back and look at the magnitude of that play with everything on the line, and kind of the way Tressel Ball had been — 3 yards and a cloud of dust, take a deep shot, and it works out — I’m glad I caught it. You think of everything that’s happened since then in Ohio State history, and for that to be up there in a lot of Buckeye memories and minds, it’s very special.”

The play call for Holy Buckeye was King Right 64 Y-Shallow Swap. Jenkins said it was designed for tight end Ben Hartstock, who hauled in a 13-yard reception the play before. However, as we all know now, that’s not how it worked out.

“You’re really thinking that Ben Hartstock is going to get the little crossing route. We’d just get the first down and keep going down the field,” Jenkins said. “But the crazy part was the Swap for us. When you run the tight end on the Shallow, I always ran the Dig, and then (Chris) Gamble or the Z would run a Post.

“So, Swap, you know, we obviously swapped what we were doing. I’m supposed to run the post, and then Gamble’s supposed to run a Dig. But if you look at the film, like I just ended up running a Go and Gamble’s running a post. So we didn’t even run what we were supposed to run. And so that just lets you know, as my Dad always says, the stars were aligned that season.”

Yes, they were!

OT Austin Siereveld, Captain (All B1G, National Champion)

Am betting that Siereveld is pushed inside this year (RG methinks), while one of the younger guys are put in the LT position. Is he valuable, certainly, and needs to have a place on the OL. Can see Bowen making changes, looking for that best front 5 to take the field. Can always stick a TE on the left to help with leakage, until the newbie 'gets it'. Certainly have upcoming talent at LT, only not ripe yet.
I think he is more naturally suited for OG, but you put your best guy there regardless when the necessity arises and we've seen this in the past (see Donovan Jackson). So I'm sure Austin will get some reps there and may end up being the guy there. Even if it's not his natural position at the next level, it helps the team and typically helps his draft stock showing the versatility to swing out to tackle.

Lou Holtz (Longtime CFB HC, R.I.P.)

Was alive during those times, and somewhat sentient. Yes, the Dispatch had those quotes published, as well as the Citizen-Journal. Dad took me to Rotary Club where Woody was speaker. He was asked that question, and he unabashadly said, yes he did say that. Story of running out of gas in Xichigan, and him pushing his car across state line into Ohio because 'won't spend a nickel in that state', seems to me to be more of urban legend, but yeah, can see him saying that. I do know he hated losing Ohioans to Xichigan in recruiting battles, and although he never bad-mouthed those Ohio kids, he made side quips about their decision making processes. He truly was a bigger than life person.

In her own Instagram post, which was set to the tune of "I Said Yes" by Sunny Bloom, Polushkin shared several pictures from the couple's romantic day.

"We toured a beautiful winery in Chile and Rick got down on one knee ," Polushkin wrote.

The picturesque proposal was the second time Harrison popped the question. The first time he proposed was in his living room, but because his stepdaughters called it "the most unromantic proposal ever," he decided to do it again, TMZ first reported.

Harrison presented Polushkin with one of his most prized rings from his iconic pawn shop, with a representative telling the outlet that Harrison called the 6.5-carat pear-shaped ring "breathtaking, just like Angie is."

A GoFundMe effort launched on Monday is seeking to raise $18,000, and a little more than $5,000 had come in by late Friday morning.

"With his full knowledge and blessing, we’re raising emergency funds to cover more than $100,000 in medical bills and related expenses after a serious motorcycle accident in Tulum, Mexico," according to GFM organizer Aron Chambers.

"He suffered devastating injuries: 11 fractured ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion, and internal bleeding. He was rushed to a hospital in Playa del Carmen, where the reality of medical emergencies in Mexico hit hard — costs add up fast, and payment is often required upfront."
