Yep. Anyone remember the intellectual abortion that was their list of greatest Big Ten athletes ever.

Yeah, didn't Jesse Owens finish 3rd or 4th? Single handedly embarrassed the Nazi master race and is only 3rd. In the Big 10. GMAFB.

When did Owens do that, compared to when he was at Ohio State? Not a rhetorical question - I really don't know. The reason I'm asking is that if he did that after leaving Ohio State, it shouldn't be relevant. Keith Jackson's introduction stated that only what the athlete did in college was supposed to be considered.

When it comes to "supposed to be considered", that brings up another problem with the list: Magic Johnson (#1 on the list), finished higher than Archie Griffin (~#5?). Archie Griffin won as many Heismans while in college as the number of years Magic Johnson was in college. I find it hard to believe that post-college wasn't taken into consideration on that one. I'm guessing that they took the top 4-6 athletes from each college and sprinkled them all in evenly throughout the list.

Edit: I was wrong - Magic Johnson was #2. Eddie was #4.

Edit2: Also, there were only 20 episodes. I thought there were 50. Here's a list of how many players from each team won:
Illinois 2
Indiana 3
Iowa 1
Michigan 2
Michigan State 1
Minnesota 1
Northwestern 1
Ohio State 4
Penn State 1
Purdue 2
Wisconsin 2
Note that all teams who were in the Big Ten at the time got at least one player on the list.

That's a fair point. Although Owens did set four world records in a single college track event in Ann Arbor. Running for OSU, obviously. Heck, even Michigan felt compelled to put up a plaque commemorating the event.

Solely from an athletic standpoint, I would argue that day was as impressive as his Olympic victories.

edit: Owens set three new world records and tied one on that day.

Plus this from jesseowens.com

  • Jesse set or tied national high school records in the 100 yard dash, 200-yard dash, and the long jump.
  • After a stellar high school career, he attended Ohio State University.
  • On May 25, 1935, at the Big Ten Conference Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Owens broke three world records (long jump, 220-yard dash and 220-yard low hurdles) and tied a fourth (100-yard dash), all in a 45 minute span.
  • In his junior year at Ohio State, Owens competed in 42 events and won them all, including four in the Big Ten Championships, four in the NCAA Championships, two in the AAU Championships and three at the Olympic Trials.
  • In 1936, Jesse became the first American in Olympic Track and Field history to win four gold medals in a single Olympiad by winning four gold medals: 100 meter dash in 10.3 seconds (tying the world record), long jump with a jump of 26' 5 1/4" (Olympic record), 200 meter dash in 20.7 seconds (Olympic record), and 400 meter relay (first leg) in 39.8 seconds (Olympic and world record).
  • In 1976, Jesse was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award bestowed upon a civilian, by Gerald R. Ford.
  • Owens was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush.

Just for reference, Owens was third, Magic Johnson was second, and Red Grange was first.

edit: Just to keep this post on the thread topic, I don't believe Mike Hart was on the list, but one could argue that they didn't give exercycle endurance its proper due.

MIKE HART IN LINE FOR FIFTH OSU LOSS. It's onto Western Michigan — always nice to educate that state in the game of football.

P.J. Fleck and his "Row the Boat" mantra will get the headlines, but it looks like an old friend of the program is returning for Columbus for a fifth L.

From FearTheHat.wordpress.com:

He also has some continuity when it comes to his own coaching staff. One of the Broncos most recent additions, former Michigan running back Mike Hart, is in his second year.

However, all this has yet to pay off in the win column for Western Michigan’s head man. To be fair, the team he took over in 2013 had gone 4-8 the year before. Since then, the Broncos have a record of 10-18, including a 1-11 inaugural season and a 1-2 start this year.

It was certainly expected that they would drop their opener to Michigan State, a game in which they looked more than respectable. But what followed was what Fleck called a “royal whupping” at the hands of Georgia Southern. Spurned by that 43-17 loss, they then went on to crush FCS team Murray State 52-20. (For comparison’s sake, consider Northern Illinois beat the Racers 57-26.)

Is this worthy of adding a 5th L to his name?
