True story here. My brother and I were heading south down SR 23 towards C-Bus, a few hours after the Michigan game was over. We were heading to Delaware to watch our HS alma-mater play in the 3rd round of the OHSSA football playoffs. We stopped in Marion, OH for gas and "beverages" at a Speedway (just down from Marion Harding HS).
I started pumping gas while my brother went inside. Moments later he comes out clamoring for me to get him something to write with. I ask him WTH is going on when he says "Chris Spielman is inside!!" Sure enough, I look in through the doors and there stands Spielman waiting to pay. My brother had asked him for an autograph inside, and Spielman told him he'd "catch him outside". He was obviously in a hurry and hoping to not draw attention to himself.
So when he comes out he quickly signs and autograph for my brother, and starts to head towards his SUV (a very nice GMC of course) when I walk past him and jokingly asked him if he would be OUR defensive coordinator.
He laughed and my brother told him how both of us were talking about that on our drive down after listening to him during the broadcast of the game.
Spielman's exact words were "you have have to get some better players first". He went on to talk about how surprised he was just watching the defensive players in warmups, during the game...etc. and how they seemed so far from the Michigan Defensive players of the past. That part was disheartening of course....but Spielman is one of my favorite all-time OSU players and a player I greatly respected..
Just a cool story....
I just find it hard to believe that Hormel would say/write that last statement.
