Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
CLARETT’S REDEMPTION. Maurice Clarett's story was profiled on ESPN's College GameDay before Saturday's matchup between Ohio State and Michigan. With The Game ending with the Wolverines on top, the idea of putting the six-minute-long feature into the Skull Session hit the backburner.
But here we are – a few days after the fact, I'll admit – and there's finally some room to talk about Clarett's journey from Ohio State freshman phenom to convicted felon.
Thankfully, that's not where his story ended. Instead, Clarett found redemption through self-reflection, cultivating a desire to help those in need. For the past few years, he has sought to motivate, guide and inspire others to overcome their adversities and push forward to a better future.
College GameDay's feature shows us how he's done that:

Cool news. MoC now a member of the Franklin County Correctional Governing Board. Hoping to help others transitioning from incarceration to a successful, reformed life.
His sports and life story is remarkable. There was a period where history would not have judged him well but he has turned it around.
Glad there is still more good being written.

I root for MoC as much now as I did in the Natty. Everyone's got a story. His is pretty crazy

Will always wonder how things may have gone differently if he hadn’t had to watch LeBron get that NBA bag in 2003 while the court system told him he couldn’t enter the NFL until he was three years removed from high school.
Not suggesting he could have entered the NFL at 19 and survived that era with Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Troy Polamalu trying to decapitate him on the regular, rather whether the seed would have ever been planted were it not for LeBron.
Dudes life would’ve been completely different with NIL.

@BB73 will say the ‘73’ in his username is derived from his honoring the 1973 10-0-1 Buckeyes that had a historically dominant defense (64 points allowed all season, < 6 PPG, < 92 Pass YPG, and four shutouts). That team tied Michigan 10-10 because QB Cornelius Greene had a dislocated thumb for The Game and never attempted a pass, otherwise we’d have curb stomped TTUN. Went on to win the Rose Bowl in a romp 42-21 over USC, were named National Champs by like four different selectors, but we don’t even acknowledge 1973 as a natty year because we aren’t fucking Alabama or Texas A&M ordering replica trophies from Jostens for stolen valor. We humbly accept our #2 AP finish.If that makes you feel old, imagine how @BB73 feels
But in actuality, we’ve all known all of that story is bullshit. Either the 73 is to acknowledge he was 73 years old when he created his account on BP 20 years ago in 2003, or it’s his birth year… 1873.

Well, the last theory makes me 3 years younger than The University, so I’ve got that going for me.
