Yeah, got autographs from all the current buckeyes there and one from Bobby Hoying and Mike Vrabel too. I didn't take any pics, but there were tons of people snapping pics with players, pics of the interviews, etc., so I bet someone on The Planet was there and took a few snap shots.

Game Day!!!
Just curious...What did they say about Beanie. I thought he wasn't enrolled, so they haven't seen him yet. Or has he been lifting with the team? It sure sounds like you all had a great time.

Still feeling the effects of Stag Night right now, hangover city. Great session over there. Vrabel performed his normal hilarious antics on stage and really gave MC Dave Ross a rough time.
Went out with the guys afterwards and had a great time at the St Henry Nite Club. Took a few too many shots with Doug. Finkes was up on stage singing along with the band and sounded pretty good. Rory was up trying to sing. Big Steve was pretty good up on stage. Very short and to the point.
Can't remember much else. Did hear plenty of "F___ Michigan," which is always a good thing.

Wells isn't enrolled yet from what I've read, but is in Columbus...I think he did a Charity event with Pittman, Downing, and some others in the Akron area the same day as Stag Night in St. Henry.
...anyway, I know Rory Nicol mentioned how excited the team was to get in a guy of his caliber, another weapon to add to Troy/Pittman/Ginn/Gonzo & Roy Hall. He said the Offense was already clicking at full throttle at the end of the year '05 and now with Wells and he felt himself and Marcel Frost at TE (he said no better combo of tight ends in the Nation) that the Off. would be unstopable. I think both Barton and Datish mentioned Wells (definitely one of them, I think both) also saying how with both him and Pittman and Troy's ability to run, and the pass defenses having to concentrate on Teddy and Gonzo down field, OSU may not ever need to pass the ball (because he said all the lineman hate to pass block (though with Troy back there, if someone does make a mistake in the pass protection TS makes up for it with his moves in the back field).
I just thought it was even more exciting to hear two or three veteran offensive guys seem genuinely pumped to have a Freshman being added to an Offense that was pretty spectacular already. Makes me ready for Spring ball.

I don't have much else to offer, just that all the guys were great. None of them were out of control or excessively drunk. All of them were extremely well behaved and well mannered (well, except Vrabel, but that's just Vrabel).
I got my photo snapped with Datish and Rehring, once I get them, I'll post them. Rehring is BIG!

Still fortitudinous
I saw him at a charity event on Saturday afternoon in North Canton. I didn't think to ask him if he's working out with the team--I just said hello and wished him good luck this fall.

I think Beanie was being brought up because everyone knows who he is and that he's the #1 player in the country. You guys would be surprised at how many of the players follow the recruiting classes. Definately not to the extent that we do, but they're aware of the big namers coming in.

It really is a great event. St. Henry is lucky to have the blood lines that it does. This one event generates a ton of cash for their athletic department, which has a lot to do with why St. Henry has some really nice athletic facilities.
As for the $100 handshakes, I really don't know how anyone can police that 100% of the time. It's no more of a problem here (or at any other charity event) as it would be if the guys stayed in Columbus and were out at Chili's eating dinner or something. It ultimately comes down to the players having to know what they can and can not accept and to do the right thing at the time.

Just out of curiosity, what is Bobby and Tom Hoying doing these days? Don't they have a younger brother also? There was a Ben Hoying that played at MIT a few years ago. Maybe that's their younger brother. I also saw another Hoying on facebook that goes to Ohio State. Looks just like Bob and Tom. IDK, maybe you guys know though.

Brian Hoying (not Ben) from MIT may or may not be related. His father is a teacher at St Henry, not brothers to Bob & Tom.
They do have a brother at tOSU. His name is Michael.
The weird thing in the Mercer County area is that there are many Hoyings and many Hoyngs, unrelated. The starting QB at the University of Dayton, Kevin Hoyng, is a good friend of mine and was often confused as Tom & Bobby's relation in high school.
