Ohio against the world.
Both were on TV last night, I think that deserves a bump of an 18 month old thread?
Falco is a great feel good, comeback story...but Utah was better. Might be the last Big 10 QB to beat USC in the Rose Bowl and he would have proved it in the pros too if not for that knee injury.

I have misplaced my pants.
Disagreed. He's funny in the right roles. He's not a leading actor. Jesus Hollywood is more of a comedian in a "tough guy" role. Like in the movie, "Who Kicked Rich Rod's Nuts?" That's a classic movie that critics just don't understand. But Jesus Hollywood was brilliant. Of course, it was only 2 scenes, but I hear that he was in a third scene that was cut out of the final production. But those 2 scenes are great. I wonder if they bothered to ask for the pen back after the scene in the diner. I wouldn't.

KEANU REEVES: A TRIBUTE TO OHIO STATE'S LEAST-REMEMBERED QUARTERBACK
Keanu Reeves is one of the greatest actors of this or any generation.
His command of body language, facial expressions and voice are flawless. He is the toast of the town in Hollywood, and his success is richly deserved. Yet his acting success has overshadowed how he got his start – as an Ohio State Buckeye.
Not one but two of Reeves' documentaries have made reference to Reeves' time in Columbus: The Replacements, a gritty examination of Reeves' career as a replacement quarterback for an NFL team on strike, and Point Break, a light-hearted look at when he infiltrated a group of surfers who robbed banks.
A cursory Google search would suggest Keanu Reeves' movies are fictional, and that he dropped out of high school to start acting. Google lies! Here, I tell his true biography.
.

BUCKEYE CAREER
Keanu Reeves began his career as a benchwarmer. After redshirting in 1993, he backed up Bobby Hoying as a freshman and sophomore. A criminology major, Reeves got into contact with law enforcement and served two summer internships with the FBI during this time.
In 1996, Reeves finally got his chance to shine, sharing a quarterback rotation with sophomore Joe Germaine. Working with a two-quarterback system, the Buckeyes went 11-1 and won the Rose Bowl, denied a national championship only by a fluke loss to Michigan.
Reeves surprised everyone when he announced he would return for his senior season. It paid off; a shoulder injury to Germaine made him the unquestioned starter. Known mostly for his running ability, Shane Falco shocked the football world by throwing for 3100 yards and 28 touchdowns, eventually finishing third in Heisman voting behind Charles Woodson and Peyton Manning.
Despite another heartbreaking loss to Michigan, Reeves would lead Ohio State against Florida State in the Sugar Bowl with a chance to win a national championship. And then he fell apart.
The Seminoles defense battered Reeves all game, and he had the worst game of his career: 8-of-33 passing for 38 yards and five interceptions, as Ohio State lost 52-7. This performance earned him an unflattering nickname: "Footsteps" Falco, for "hearing footsteps" on a phantom sack he took in the fourth quarter. He would later describe this sensation as "quicksand":
You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.
Although the Dallas Cowboys would select Shane Falco as a fourth round selection, a knee injury ended his career, and he disappeared into obscurity.
