ESPN: Ohio State looking for more bling

Ohio State looking for more bling

July 25, 2008 12:06 PM

Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg

CHICAGO -- The 2007 Big Ten championship ring glistened on Malcolm Jenkins' right hand as he met with reporters Friday. Jenkins' other ring, from Ohio State's 2006 league title, was stowed away in his hotel room.

Most Big Ten players would do anything to have Jenkins' jewelry collection. But for the senior quarterback and his Ohio State teammates, their legacy still hinges on a ring they have yet to earn.

"Nobody ever remembers the losers," Jenkins said. "Besides the last two teams, the four national championships before that, I couldn't name the losers of any of those games. There really isn't any credit in getting there. You can argue against somebody else who didn't get there, but at the end of the day, getting there doesn't matter."

A final run at a national championship after two failed attempts wasn't the overriding reason why Jenkins passed up the NFL and returned to Ohio State. But after back-to-back outright Big Ten titles and 23 wins the last two seasons, he and his fellow seniors have few other goals left on their plate.

Nine starters return on each side of the ball as do both kicking specialists. The team returns as much or more experience than the 2005 squad, which steamrolled through the regular season before flat-lining in the national title game.

No, we lost to Texas and Penn St. that year. This is the problem with blogs. No fact-checking ever.

No I think he wrote it right its just hard to understand. Well maybe not "right" but its what he meant.

I think he's saying the 2005 squad returned alot of their starters(and in 2006 steamrolled to the NC before flat lining).

There's been some talk of Jenkins returning punts last/this year. And on the depth chart hes listed there (w/ Small, Robiskie, and Hartline). Anyone think he'll return a punt? I bet he'd be great, it seems like every time he gets an interception he has great vision and is exciting to watch.
