How will boring Barkley to death with pedantic, shallow analysis of passing routes on game film help us win?

You're right...your way is far better than the old Jaworsking way of hammering him from the back and watching his concussed head snap backward then double-concussing as it then pounds into the ground. My way only puts him out for a week...maybe two. Your way could permanently scar him.

As I do frequently these days, I defer to you sir.

In all fairness, both can result in permanent brain damage. I think I'd prefer your way, though.

Music man: Gibson produces on field, in studio

Thaddeus Gibson's recording studio certainly is no match for, say, mighty Motown Records. Yet once inside the small room in Gibson's apartment, the creative atmosphere has a rhythm and rap all its own.

"That place gets wild," Ohio State receiver DeVier Posey said. "It gets hot in there, and it's just a lot of fun."

To OSU football fans, Gibson is known as the team's edge-rushing defensive end. To his teammates, though, the junior is hailed as a producer extraordinaire. Gibson's mini-studio has cranked out several of what could best be called "underground" rap and rhythm-and-blues hits, some featuring the input of teammates such as Posey, Doug Worthington, Jermale Hines, Travis Howard and Terrelle Pryor.

"Guys just enjoy coming over to rap and record. And then we'll put it on a CD or in our iPods," Gibson said.

"We're all big into music, and to hear yourself on a beat you made, and a verse or song you actually wrote - it's an amazing feeling."

Before the season opener with Navy, for example, Gibson said Pryor approached him about some "studio time."

"He said, 'We've got to make a song so we can listen to it on the Skull Session walk,'" Gibson said.

As with any rap, verses are free-flowing, often improvised. But they center on a hook, a couple of lines that will be repeated throughout, usually the most memorable part of the song. The hook for the song he and Pryor made:

It's our time, we're gonna make it.

If you don't believe it, we're gonna show you that.

OK, it's not the same without the background beat. But it's the effort that counts, Gibson said, and circulation is starting to pick up for some of his productions.

"He has a couple of songs out; coach (Jim) Tressel played a couple in the team room" during preseason camp, Posey said. "They're pretty funny."

Gibson, though, has been serious about his music since he was a seventh-grader back in his hometown of Euclid, Ohio, a suburb northeast of Cleveland.

"I always liked the music as long as I can remember, but in seventh grade, my friend had a Karaoke machine," Gibson said. "We wrote verses during study hall, then we'd go over to his house after school to record it."

As it turned out, it wasn't just some fad. The more he wrote, rapped and recorded, the more he liked what he was hearing.

"To hear my stuff on like a CD or even a cassette tape, it was always fun, playing it to my brother, my cousins, my mom," Gibson said. "I always wanted to be a rapper, a music artist." His specialty as a teenager was rap, though he also dabbled in R&B.

"A friend of mine, his cousin had a real recording studio in his house, and sometimes we'd go over there and record," Gibson said. "A friend of mine was a senior, so he'd sing the verse, and we'd rap on the hook, or he'd sing the hook and we would rap on the verse. We really did it all."

Thanks for your junior year Thad. Good luck in the league.


Oh wait...I just jumped ahead a few months.

Yup. The good and bad of playing out of your skull. Thad dominated yesterday, and showed why he is about to make tons of money. I just hope Cam decides to stay....don't want to lose both, coupled with Worthington graduating.
