That WAS awesome. But why do people keep having trouble putting on hats? I mean, it's a hat! :biggrin:

You must have one of them heads that fits into a 'one size fits all' hat. Must be nice. My head hasn't fit into one of those since I was in middle school. If I was in that position, it would be difficult for me as well to get one of them tiny hats on.

Family pushes Cleveland Heights' Kyle Dodson to Ohio State

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- She sat a few feet behind her grandson, as grandmothers often do, quietly observing. Her legs crossed and hands in her lap, a small, proud smile creased her face.

Barbara Allen allowed herself to chuckle when the big moment came and the boy she raised for seven years, nationally-ranked lineman Kyle Dodson, broke the tension Wednesday and finally announced, in a rap with teammates, he will play college football at Ohio State.

"Life is about sorrow and great heights you can reach," Allen said in a quiet corner of Cleveland Heights High's auditorium while, nearby, reporters and cameramen surrounded Dodson.

"The main thing is getting a good education, and we hope he achieves the dreams he has in life. We're very proud of Kyle. We're very excited for the opportunity he has. It's just proves dreams do come true."

Dodson deliberated for weeks whether to choose Ohio State, Michigan State or USC, or the school he made a non-binding oral commitment to last summer, Wisconsin. Having already visited Wisconsin, he took official visits to Columbus, Los Angeles and East Lansing in December and January. Head coaches and staff from all four schools made final pitches in person last week to Dodson, Allen, her husband George, and Cleveland Heights coach Jeff Rotsky.

One of the reasons Dodson committed to Wisconsin early was Ohio State was late to recruit him under previous coach Jim Tressel. Dodson made an immediate bond with new coach Urban Meyer during a visit Dec. 10.

"He's so real," Dodson said. "You can just tell. The realness is falling off him. He's dripping realness.

Just watched a presser with Coach Meyer on the news and I don't know if I ever heard a Coach speak so highly of a single recruit. In no uncertain terms, he stated that Kyle was the "one player" he had to have. Went as far to say that he wouldn't trade Kyle for any one single other player in this class.

WOW!

Peace
