Not to be argumentative, but has Birm actually spoken to DGG and/or family? Block O is special here, as is #45, and the Big Cat directly asked Archie if he would mind. Block 0 is a different animal methinks, and given to a player of proof of his gifts/contributions to the Buckeyes on the field. If you say Birm iterated his direct contact, my mind will be at ease.
