Flam's 'fro was frickin' monumental. Just wish that I was old enough to have personally been in all its reflected glory.

What a great ambassador we have in Archie. The man exudes class.

As a kid, Archie was one of my heroes as a football player. Today he is one of my heroes as a man.

Stepping down as the CEO of the AA, will transition to a part time roll to do fundraising as a senior adviser in the Office of Advancement for the University going forward.

Yeah OSU sent an email out about it. I got it yesterday

I wonder why he is stepping down. He is probably only around 65 years old. Possibly younger.

I think he's around 60.

I think he's around 60.

it will be interesting to see who replaces him but I still do not understand why he is stepping down. Almost everyone uses the spend more time with the family when it is usually for a specific reason.

E!Spin is such bullshit. They were just talking about Pumphery from SDSU, and showed his career starts against the all time top ten college RBs.

Notably absent was Archie at #3.

Fuck that hack network. Archie only had the record for 23 years.

Archie receives OSU's highest civilian honor, the Distinguished Service Award:

Alumni and other friends of The Ohio State University are a passionate lot. They remember their Ohio State ties, serving as ambassadors of the university around the world.

But a handful of alumni, retired faculty and administrators, and friends who have forged connections with the university truly stand out. It is for this outstanding group that university trustees established the Distinguished Service Award in 1952.

He would be 65 sometime this year. We were in the same class at Ohio State. His brother, Ray, also was in two classes with me in business school after the Army. He was an excellent Buckeye cornerback a couple of years behind Archie.
