Love coach Bruce. Actually got a recruitment letter from him while I was in school after going to the Ohio Passing Camp in Franklin, Ohio. Damn shame he got fired in favor of Coop but that's the way things happen I guess.

Get well soon coach. I'm sure Urbs is broken up about it also.

I got a chance to meet him and shake his hand at the last OSU coaching clinic last spring, I never had a person get me so fired up like he did. I'm really glad that he is doing well.

It was announced earlier this week that former Ohio State head football coach Earle Bruce would be dotting the 'i' in Script Ohio for this Saturday's OSU Homecoming game against Rutgers. Bruce will become one of just a handful of "civilians" to partake in the honor. What did Urban Meyer think of the news?

"Well I remember when that conversation was coming up and not that my vote matters, but obviously I love coach Bruce, he's like a father to me and there's bits and pieces, not bits, there's a lot of things that he taught us, myself, this program, about right from wrong, no gray area and do things the right way," Meyer said. "Toughness, premium placed on education, all the things that I learned from him. So, yeah, it's great and I'm very happy for him and we had dinner the other night and it's great for him."

I know things weren't great under Earl but that's the era I came up in and I have great memories.

I'll go to my grave thanking him for 1985 Iowa and The Game 1987. Two very special games to me personally that I honestly look back on as fondly as any NC year games.

Thanks coach.
