When I first truly bleed scarlet and gray, was the Doss pick to seal the game agianst scUM in 2002. The game was close enough and i thought they were goign to score to take the lead. I saw the season flash before my eyes, and then Doss comes up Huge! Awsome.
Will Allen made the pick on the last play against scUm in 2002.

Thanks Mili for bringing "Dubs post" to my attention. How i mis-read his post is beyond me. He was correct now that I remember. Yeah beating scum at thier place is always something that we remember. For instance when Tressel said "You will be proud of our team in the class room, on and off the field, and especially in 310 days at Ann Arbor". Believe me that was the longest 310 days of my Life. Now look where we are. I hope they continue for a long time.

It's Sept. 30, 1995 and Notre Dame is in the shoe. There are 95,537 fans in the stands, the largest crowd ever at that time. For the past two years my wife, a ND fan, has been telling me ND will kick our butts. We are both in the stands, she's dressed in green and gold, I'm dressed in scarlet and grey. OSU starts out slow, down 10-0 in the first quarter but rallying to a 17-14 half time deficiet. In the third quater, Terry Glenn runs a simple hook pattern and takes off 71 yards to the house. The whole time, Allen Rossum, the fastest player on ND is chasing him, and Glenn just pulls away. It was so great a play, I'll never forget it. At the time it was the second longest scoring pass play (82 yards total) in OSU history.

Eddie George in 95 against Illinois. I forget exactly how long his TD run was, but all I remember is how he juked the Illinois defenders out of their shoes. I was sitting in section 12 or 14a for the game. It was the best spot in the house because that play started down near our corner of the field. Damn, that was the coldest Buckeye game I've ever experienced. That wind coming from the South end and was whipping and swirling throughout the stadium. Oh did I mention it was fucking cold.

I was in Japan for the Byars out-of-his-shoe game against Illinois in 1984.

Great play... I was at the game... (I was 11) I think it was the second or third game I'd been to at teh shoe.. (The first was against stanford and that jack ass elway)

Anyway.. the buck were down big at half time... and that play signaled the death of Illinois.... You knew Byars had everything under control.

Also... I know I drink too much.. but why do I remember Holy buckeye being fourth and 3, not fourth and 1. Its a minor point I guess.... It was fourth and whatever and they just went for the jugular.

A great play that hasn't been mentioned is the fourth quarter 45-yard fumble return by Finkes after Katzenmoyer stripped Indiana's quarterback in the Bill Mallory's last home game as the Hoosiers' HC. When Finkes hit the endzone, it looked like crazy Buckeye fans were ready to rush the field. That play propelled the Buckeyes to the 1997 Rose Bowl berth and more great and memorable plays! What an awesome defensive line! **Vrabel Garnett Fickell & Finkes**


I was in Bloomington for this game visiting an ex gf (she gave away her tix to that game, dumbass) and later that night we were at Kilroy's boozing it up, and withing minutes one of the most popular bars for IU students was literally overrun with tOSU fans. I remember hearing Hang on Sloopy about 50 times in a row (no exaggeration) and you would've swore we were in Columbus. I told her I had no respect for her school's inability to defend their home turf, and that's what she got for going to school there.

Touch GINN

Maybe not the greatest play ever.....but I will never forget it nonetheless.

tOSU vs (that team up north ranked #7 at the time), a punt sailed towards our return team, Ginn catches it and is immediately swarmed but he spins parallel to the field dodging tackles, he takes a few steps forward, decides to cut left (leaving all defenders sitting in there shoes) and GINN was GONE up the left sideline. Everyone was in slow motion but him...

I'm telling you these are the types of plays that absolutely confirm that there is not just a great play or for that matter great player but a great team no matter what the W-L column says.

ONE OF THE SWEETEST WINS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN REG SEASON since NC!!!

Interesting side note: While most Buckeyes will remember 'Holy Buckeye' because of Musburger's call, until that point most Boilermakers' favorite call of all-time was by Musburger in the 2000 Purdue/OSU game:

"Brees drops back in the pocket ...he's got time ... looking ... he's got a reciever! Wide Open! Seth Morales! Touchdown Purdue! Holy Toledo!!!"

The origin of "Holy Buckeye!!!" ?

I Stand Corrected...

I fused the great return vs MSU by GINN with the scUM return at least the spinning at the beginning of the return, but if it weren't for that shoe tackle he wouldn't been gone.

But I still stand behind the play of GINN on that return against scUM with Ginn bobbing and weaving through a crowd of defenders then busting left and scampering to a great touchdown to seal the win.

I loved how he had Braylon E. grasping for air and how put it in the next gear to fly by the last defender.

How about plays? I saw my first Michigan game in 1954. My sister was a sophomore and somehow managed to get two extra tickets for my dad and me (I was in 8th grade).

We were stuck up at the top of A deck, just below the tower of the victory bell. It's early in the fourth quarter with Michigan leading. They drive down to the OSU 1 yard line, first and goal. The Buckeye defense stops the first play for a short loss. On second down Michigan gains a yard, but the OSU line just won't break. Third down, six inches to go and they get stuffed again and now the stadium is bedlam. Michigan decides to go for it instead of kicking the sure 3 points. The fullback tries to dive over the pile but someone in the Buckeye secondary meets him head on in mid air and he falls back. OSU ball on the one. On the very next play, Jim Parker creams the Michigan nose guard and Hop Cassidy steps through the hole, breaks a tackle at the five and slips to the sideline, all the way to the Michigan 40! The Bucks smash it in from there in short order to take the lead and then pull away to win. If I had been dissappointed with the seats before then, I wasn't anymore as the goal line stand took place right below me.

Switch to twenty years later and now I have a sideline photographer's pass. Dennis (?) Franklin, an Ohio native playing QB for Michigan had been shooting off his mouth about "Only the great players from Ohio go to Michigan." Fourth Quarter, OSU up by three, and Michigan drives to the one, first and goal, opposite endzone. Same thing. Fullback off tackle. Stopped dead. Franklin tries to sweep on an option, yard loss. Third down fullback smash and again the Bucks hold and now the crowd is going berserk. Michigan had already driven to the 5 and been held, tried a field goal and it missed. This time Bo decides to go for it all. Fullback off tackle. Blam! Stopped dead and the ball goes over. Two plays later, halfback (Archie?) breaks it up the gut, bounces outside and is all the way to midfield before the Goblow safety can catch him.

Photogs and writers are suppossed to honor the creed of "no cheering in the pressbox," but I couldn't help myself. Everytime Franklin came near the sidelines I would scream at him, "Only the best ones, Franklin, only the best!" My God, it was so sweet to walk out of the stadium that day.

"And how about watching Terry Glenn burn ND in '95. This quote's from an ND write-up: "A simple Hoying pass to Terry Glenn on a curl route turned into an 82-yard touchdown. The receiver beat Irish cornerback Allen Rossum on the play, and then left the nationally-ranked sprinter in the dust in the race to the end zone." I can remember comparing my excitement during that play to sex."


And making it even better was that TV had Regis Phillbus being interviewed on the sidelines wearing a Notre Dame T and mouthing off about how the Irish were going to put the game away and just then Glenn busts the play and there's Regis with a glum face watching it take place. Priceless!
