Special Senior class' last game in The Shoe

BuckeyeInTheBoro

This space left intentionally blank
Thank you to our seniors who have accomplished so much in their time at OSU. As they get ready to play their last game in the shoe... think about what they have done the last four years:

40-8 record overall
26-2 in the shoe
2-1 against Michigan
3-0 in bowl games
1 National championship

... and they'll improve those numbers the next few weeks.

This is one special group and they deserve some recognition. They've given so much to us and it's time to give something back:

Scream a little louder Saturday. Stand a little longer. Clap harder... kill the boo-birds. Don't let NW feel like they're playing on a neutral site... let them know... "This is OUR house and our boys are leaving it AS WINNERS!"

In the fourth quarter against Michigan State the crowd finally woke up, then our seniors got fired up and then... we dominated. No reason we can't give that to our boys for four quarters. If someone asks you to sit down on Saturday, tell them politely that this is AJ Hawk's last game and you'll sit down when he stops giving 100%.

Cheer so loud they'll still hear you in Ann Arbor next weekend as they take their record to 3-1 and show the world Tressel owns scUM.

Thanks guys...

They are in some pretty good company.

Greatest SR classes in recent Buckeye history by win %, scUM record and NC's

1968-1970(only 3 years because frosh couldn't play)
27-2 (.931)
2-1 vs ScUM
1 NC

1972-1975
40-5-1 (.870)
3-0-1 vs scUM

1995-1998
43-7 (.860)
1-3 vs scUM


The 72-75 squad was probably the most statistically dominant of the group. The 95-98 teams were as talented as any in OSU History. The 68 team should have never lost a game.

For this class thats pretty tall cotton to be in considering they lost the best offensive player in the class after just 1 year. A second B10 title, 3rd win over scUM and 3rd BCS appearence would be one hell of a capper to a great career.

The thing I am most happy about, as I look down that list of names, is the class of individuals within this graduating class. The way they have handled themselves at Ohio State, in the community, classroom, they have been great team players on the field. A group that really has kept their nose clean through a time period where our program was under even a bigger microscope than normal. I would be estatic if every Ohio State Class of graduating players could look as good as this one has on and off the field.

This will be a class that will be sorely missed next season for their leadership on and off the field.

Thank You Seniors! Good luck for the rest of the season, and the rest of your lives in all that you do!

Update:

42-8 record overall
27-2 in the shoe
3-1 against Michigan
3-0 in bowl games (so far)
1 National championship

You seniors can look back on your time here with pride knowing that only a few classes in history left this kind of legacy.

One more game boys... play it loud.

Many thanks to all the seniors for all the great football they have played last 4 years.

A very bing "Thank You" goes out to JT. Thanks for making the scUM game meaningful again. Thanks for erasing all the negative thoughts we developed regarding playing that team. It's great to be confident going into "The Game" not having to worry "what could we possibly do wrong to lose the game?", but rather,"what are we going to do to win the game?".

You've taken heat from fans anytime we've lost a game as well as whenever we've won a close game that we should have won by alot.

You've been the butt of jokes regarding your playcalling, conservative nature and vanilla offense.

You win. You just go out and beat Michigan.

4-1

F Michigan and bring on the National Champion(2006) Ohio State Buckeyes!!!!!

I just want to thank all the seniors for all the hard work they put in over these last 4-5 years, and say how proud I am of them. They played their hearts out all year for us and they have nothing to be ashamed up. Soon to be 3 BCS bowls and 1national championship and 2 big ten titles. Damn that is impressive.
