No, but I saw him at the Michigan game. And I think I could take him now.

i honestly didnt know that much about his football career until the week of the game this year, i did however know he was a two time all big ten player in basketball. makes you wonder how a guy who beat michigan three of three times in football and was two times all big ten in basketball isnt considered one of the greatest athletes in school histroy.

We'll do well, good road game in the Big Ten. You can't learn it until you do it.

He may very well be the second coming. But the key word is "coming", because he's not there yet. He's the best young point guard I've ever seen in a Buckeye Uniform though.

jimotis4heisman: Since Tippy Dye played at Ohio State in 1935, 1936, and 1937, my guess is that you didn't either.

The first road game is at Illinois. Now this is what I call a challenge.
We will have to play smart.

Not likely, Wes Fesler goes back to 1931. I don't even think I would believe you if you said that you remember seeing Jerry Lucas lead Ohio State to a National Championship.

That I would believe. Maybe I'd even believe Jim Otis as a fullback.

Two years later, the memory of his first Big Ten road game remains vivid for Jamar Butler.
"I caught the ball and turned around and all I saw was orange going crazy and Dee Brown in my face," Butler said. "I was shocked." Coach Thad Matta jokingly described Butler as a "deer in headlights" this week when he tried to convey to the five firstyear players on the Ohio State men?s basketball team what awaits them this afternoon in their first Big Ten road game.
