S Gary Berry (Official Thread)

How to get away with saying ?mofo? in recruiting?Here?s a story from a long-time Bucknuts source where he points out that not all recruits are coddled or even tolerated at a certain point?

Gary Berry was nearing the end of his recruitment in his senior year of high school and he had whittled his list down to Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame. He kept vacillating amongst the three. The media was reporting how ?torn? he was, but behind the scenes, most of the coaches thought that he was just milking the attention.

He would periodically call Ohio State to talk to a player or a coach ? and they all sucked up to him hoping he would pick Ohio State. One day, he called Bill Conley and wanted to talk to Joey Galloway. Galloway was out on the practice field doing drills with a drag parachute. An assistant was sent to tell Galloway that Berry was on the phone and Conley wanted Galloway to come in and talk to him.

This pissed off Galloway, who was more focused on his workout. He unstrapped himself from the parachute harness and begrudgingly walked into the Woody Hayes center, got to Conley?s office, walked straight to the phone, picked up the receiver and said, ?Listen mofo, everybody is sick of your crap. Quit screwing around with all these schools and just pick one. No one cares where the f**k you are going; really, just pick one and leave people the f**k alone.? Then he hung up the receiver and walked back out to finish his workout.

The room was silent. Finally Conley busted out laughing and called Coach Cooper into his office. He told Cooper that Ohio State probably likely lost Gary Berry because Joey Galloway just ?mofo-ed? him.

Berry announced that he was attending Ohio State two days later.

The guy who wrote that piece isn't around here. I suggest you follow the link and tell him instead of the person who posted it here.

You are an idiot. You can't tell the difference between a message board poster and the author of an article.

i'll also add that mr. bucknuts is never wrong and never writes a sensationalized article. consider any outlandish story that is generated at bucknuts to be completely factual.

10. GARY BERRY, 1997
A Worthington native, Gary Berry's sophomore season is often overlooked. With Antoine Winfield at the corner position, Berry roamed the middle of the field, snagging five interceptions. His 166 interception yards led the Big Ten in 1997 and is still a school record.

Berry was a three-year starter at Ohio State, ending his career with seven interceptions and over 200 tackles.
