I was witness to the infamous Alabama vs OSU pre-season game in the Meadowlands. Karasatos to Carter were almost unstoppable. The game ended when a Alabama DB came over Carter's back to knock down a final pass! No interference call....of course! :( Amazing player to see live!
We was robbed! :tongue2:

Sure-handed Brian Robiskie has a chance to become the Buckeyes' first 1,000-yard receiver since Michael Jenkins in 2002.




Like a trusted friend, Brian Robiskie is always there. When Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith was scrambling for his life against Penn State last year, Robiskie broke loose in the end zone to make the catch.
When the Buckeyes were trying to hold off a hard-charging Michigan team last year, Robiskie caught a TD pass from Smith that provided the winning margin.
This season, the pattern has continued.

what I am recalling I thought "Bama was called for 2 PI's at the end of the game (which extended play).....but I could be confusing it with another game....

From Dennis Dodd's look at the Buckeyes.

sportsline

[SIZE=+1]?[/SIZE] They are Brian Robiskie. The son of the former NFL player was a bit player on last year's team. This season he leads the Buckeyes in catches and yards. His dad, now a coach with the Dolphins, used some unique ways to improve his son's catching ability.

"It was interesting to watch Brian at 11 catch a six-pack of Coca-Cola," Terry Robiskie told the Buckeye Sports Bulletin. "Catch a gallon of milk. If you had a bottle of soda, 'Here, catch.' He had to catch it. 'If you drop it, it's yours; that's the one that was bought for you.'

"I've always preached catching. I've always done goofy things. I've got three boys, and I'd have them in the kitchen washing dishes. We'd wash a glass and dry it, throw it to Brian. He knows his mom is going to scream if he breaks that glass on her kitchen floor.

"The best one was with that little Super Ball you got out of a machine for a quarter. You throw it around the room, see the ball jumping all over the room like a jumping bean and tell him to catch it. I watched his eyes tracking the ball."

From Dodd's article, I can see in my minds eye a young Robo running around the kitchen trying to catch plates and glasses that his dad is throwing him while dodging mom with a fly swatter. :tongue2:

I must be getting old, it seems like yesterday I was watching Brians father play at LSU. Good runner, excellent balance, had a bit of a fumbling problem but a lot of it was caused by his balance. The first tackler seldom took him down, so he was gang tackled a lot.

Former Tiger Terry Robiskie rooting for Ohio St.
Son of LSU RB is Buckeyes' WR
By Glenn Guilbeau
Louisiana Gannett News

BATON ROUGE ? LSU coach Les Miles will soon lose the support of a prominent LSU alumnus in the coaching profession.
Miles met this man while in the Miami area last week recruiting. The man shook his hand and told him to his face that he would be pulling against him and his old school on Jan. 7.

This confrontation happened when Miles dropped by the Miami Dolphins' headquarters in Davie to visit his good friend, Dolphins' head coach Cam Cameron, who was the best man at his wedding. Then Miles met the man with whom he better not discuss any strategy.

Miles met former LSU tailback Terry Robiskie, the first 1,000-yard rusher in school history in 1976 and now the wide receivers coach for Miami who just happens to be the father of Ohio State wide receiver Brian Robiskie.
No. 2 LSU (11-2) and No. 1 Ohio State (11-1) meet on Jan. 7 for the BCS national championship in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.

"Today I say hello to you as a friend and the coach of my alma mater," Robiskie said he told Miles. "But three weeks from now, you won't be my friend."

Robiskie will instead be pulling for his son, a 6-foot-3, 196-pound junior who leads the Buckeyes with 50 catches for 885 yards and 10 touchdowns.

"The game's going to be easy for me," Robiskie said Friday night from the Dolphins' offices. "It won't be complicated. I'll have no problem pulling for my son. I'm just telling you. I still love my school. I wish them well. And all my family is still back there and LSU means a lot to them."

Robiskie grew up in Lucy, a small town 25 miles west of New Orleans, and went to high school in Edgard at Second Ward, which later was part of a merger that became West St. John High. His LSU roots are deep. He still keeps up with former teammates Richard Romain and Clinton Burrell, who were there when the 6-1, 217-pound Robiskie became the first LSU back to gain 2,500 yards and the first to eclipse 200 yards in a game when he got 214 on 30 carries against Rice in 1976. Robiskie was the Southeastern Conference most valuable player in 1976 when he gained 1,117 yards.

"But when it comes to LSU playing against my son, I hope they don't win," Robiskie said.
