Captain
William Roberts

While William (better known as Bill while at OSU) won no post season honors at Ohio State, the New York Giants selected him in the first round of the NFL draft and he vindicated that selection with a fine career. He is a great example of Buckeyes who deserve to be remembered even though the sports writers of the day didn't appreciate their contribution at the time.

2x All Big Ten
Captain
Team MVP
George Hasenohrl

Along with yesterday's DT from the 1972 goal line stands, George was a big part of that victory.
As for that 1972 game vs TTUN, here is a picture of George (screen cap from VHS) about to make the final tackle in his final game in Ohio Stadium.

George was another Buckeye who was taken from us far too soon. He died at the age of 51, just a couple of months before the 2002 team wrapped up their National Championship.
RIP

We all have our favorites

Randy Gradishar day has always been important to me. But this year might give me a new favorite day in the countdown

If the recently reported 45 day time period holds to the letter, then whatever hammer there is falls on Hop Cassady Day. Fitting I suppose. But recall that Fullback Jamar Martin wore #39, and Tressel referred to him as “a HAMMER” (emphasis his). So if the passing of the sentence is delayed by one day, I might be ok with it
