About Me

At this time in my life I decided to do something I love and find a way to get paid doing it. I am a proud Ohio State University Buckeye. I lettered in football 1990-1993, earning Consensus All Big Ten honors my senior year. After a cup of coffee with the New York Giants, I joined the working world for the next 15 years and then came the inevitable layoff. Now I run a small business services firm that allows me to pay the bills most of the time. However, I am destined to be in the sports media. So until my jasonwinrow.com site is active, find me here.

Eleven Warriors- The Big Raconteur

You probably think you know how to fix college football?s flawed system. Jason Winrow knows he knows.
The former Buckeye offensive lineman has a gift for articulating just how college football lost its way and what should be done to get it back. He's also a gifted storyteller with a penchant for bringing some of the lost stories of the John Cooper era back to life.
He knows what the NCAA is up against. He also knows what programs are faced with on a day to day basis. He does not like the direction for either of them.
It's been said that offensive linemen are the smartest guys on the field. Considering their Wonderlic scores are routinely 20% higher than the overall average at the NFL combine, they're probably the smartest guys off the field as well.
Spend some time with Winrow. Go and read his blog, The State of College Football. He's one of those smart guys that everyone should get to hear more often.

Winrow spent considerable time lined up next to one of the greatest to ever play the position at Ohio State, the late Korey Stringer.
?Korey was one of the most fun-loving men I?ve ever met. We?d be in our stance and he would tell whatever unlucky lineman was covering him, ?my boy 68 is gonna pull and whip your ass!? right in the middle of Bobby?s (Hoying) cadence.? Winrow smiled, ?and I did my best to keep him from being a liar.?
Often lost in the narrative of Cooper?s futility with Michigan was his difficulty with ? of all teams ? the Illinois Fighting Illini. Granted, the Illini of that era were not the Illini of today; Illinois didn?t have a losing record in any of Cooper?s first five years in Columbus. They were also 5-0 against the Buckeyes. In 1993, they finally broke through.
?As fun as Korey was, he was also ? truly ? the meanest ? player on the field that I ever played with or against. When we finally beat Illinois, at one point he just literally sat on Simeon Rice." (two-time All America, future NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and three-time Pro Bowler)
"Rice desperately tried to get Korey off of him and struggled to slide out from underneath him but he couldn?t do it. This went on for several seconds, right in the front of everybody. And Korey just sat there with a giant smile, right on top of him, laughing his ass off while Simeon Rice tried and tried to get up.?
Stringer passed away ten years ago this August after complications from heat stroke that he suffered during training camp with the Minnesota Vikings. He was 27 years old.
?I miss him terribly," said Winrow. "He'll never be old. It's hard to believe he's been gone for so long now. I still miss him."
