WR Brian Robiskie (Official Thread)

[Best Buckeye]

Where o where does time go ?

There is solid scientific evidence that time replaces the hair on your head and the muscles and other parts of your body. ie. abdominal muscles, butt , boobs etc. No lie man.

I remember that, I was a test subject in that trial (unfortunately I proved the theory )

It's worth highlighting these points from the article above, to illustrate that Brian's father Terry was a heckuva player at LSU.

Terry Robiskie, the first 1,000-yard rusher in school history in 1976 ... 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.

Robiskie grades out well, on field and in classroom

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

While Cynthia Robiskie remembered it as simply throwing out an academic benchmark to her children -- "Anybody can bring home C's. A C is average" -- her then young son Brian interpreted it as an edict.

That's because with his mother's words also came the caveat, "Oh, yeah, and you won't be playing sports unless you get the grades." So Brian Robiskie, who couldn't imagine life without sports, took the benchmark seriously.

"My mom made it very clear to me that if I wasn't doing what I was supposed to do in the classroom, I wasn't going to be playing football or basketball or baseball or whatever sport," Brian said.

"So through middle school and then going to high school, my grades were something I wanted to take care of more so because I didn't want her to tell me I couldn't do something sports-wise."

Talk about habit-forming: Robiskie, now a junior receiver for Ohio State, recently received one of the premier awards for a student-athlete. With a 3.5 grade-point average as a marketing major, he was named to the national All-Academic team as chosen by ESPN The Magazine and CoSIDA, the association of sports information directors.

He's another smart catch
Saturday, December 22, 2007Doug LesmerisesPlain Dealer Reporter
Columbus- Ohio State receiver is one of the smartest positions in college football.

Last year, one Buckeyes wideout was a first-team Academic All-American. This year, another one made it. Only one other school and position, West Virginia linebacker, repeated its Academic All-American spot this season with a different player.

Cleveland natives Brian Robiskie and Anthony Gonzalez, now with the Indianapolis Colts, have OSU receivers coach Darrell Hazell feeling like a lucky man. What's inside their helmets has made his job easier.

"That's where most of the game is played," Hazell said. "It's being able to understand what's going to happen before it happens. Those guys, being smart guys, they can make adjustments quickly in the short period of time you have on the sideline. You only have to tell them once."

Robiskie made the All-American team with a 3.5 grade point average in marketing after Gonzalez made it with a 3.54 GPA in philosophy a year ago. Players need at least a 3.0 GPA and must be a major contributor to their team to be eligible. Both players said the acumen and discipline needed to succeed in their schoolwork translates most effectively to their understanding of the playbook and their preparation.

"The people who are dedicated to their studies for their class, they have the discipline to do the work for football and to watch film," Robiskie said.

Robiskie gets high marks off field, too

Most winter sports teams are taking some time off for the holiday, which makes this a perfect opportunity to empty out the notebook.

He hits the books, too

Brian Robiskie is the best receiver on the best college football team - at least according to the polls - in the country. He was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the nation's top receiver, and he will be a high NFL draft choice if he chooses to leave Ohio State after his junior season.

Maybe even more impressive: The Chagrin Falls graduate recently was named a first team Academic All-American. Robiskie's stats in the classroom - a 3.50 grade-point average in marketing - are just as imposing as his numbers on the field, where he has 50 receptions for 885 yards and 10 touchdowns heading into the BCS National Championship against LSU on Jan. 7.

What a class act and excellent representative of TOSU that Brian has been.

Just want to add one thing, PLEASE BRIAN, leave college with a NC ring on your finger, and it doesn't matter when. (But TWO would look real nice).

It's nice to read such a positve article from the national media about the Bucks.
A great job from DD

OSU receiver returning to site of fishing trips and father's college success

COLUMBUS - One of Brian Robiskie's fondest memories of his time in New Orleans was fishing. Now as he prepares to head back to his father's hometown, Robiskie is hoping to land his biggest prize of all.
Robiskie (Chagrin Falls) has spent plenty of summers in the New Orleans area, since the family has relatives in Edgard, a small town about 25 miles west of New Orleans. Terry Robiskie, Brian's father, grew up in Lucy, La., and attended LSU, where he became the first tailback to rush for more than 2,500 yards in a career.
Terry earned SEC player of the year honors in 1976, when he rushed for 1,117 yards, which is the eighth-most in school history for a single season. Current LSU tailback Jacob Hester needs 101 yards against the Buckeyes to surpass Robiskie.

Ohio State receiver Robiskie learned game at dad's knee
By Jack Carey, USA TODAY

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Quarterback Todd Boeckman remembers exactly when he knew Brian Robiskie would be the kind of receiver Ohio State could count on in overcoming the loss of 11 starters from last season's team, which lost the national championship game to Florida.

The Buckeyes were on their plane, leaving the Phoenix area last January after the 41-14 loss to the underdog Gators, which ended OSU's chances for a second national crown in five years. The mantle of leadership was about to pass to Boeckman from Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Troy Smith, who would be one of those departing players.

"Brian came up to me on the plane and said, 'Todd, we've got to get together right away because we can't have this feeling again,' " says Boeckman, then a junior.

"He's the kind of guy who wants to work, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to be the best. Everybody was down on the loss, but when he came up and said that, it meant a lot because I knew he was willing to do whatever it took to get where he's at right now."

Robiskie has Tiger ties
OSU junior receiver Brian Robiskie is the son of a former LSU star, but there's no divided loyalties in his immediate family. Terry Robiskie, a native of Lucy, La., just west of New Orleans, was the Southeastern Conference player of the year in 1975, rushing for 1,117 yards.
"When he found out we were playing them, he jabbed me a little bit," Brian Robiskie said. "But at the end of the day, he's my dad, and he's going to be pulling for me. I don't think he'll show up for the game in one of his old jerseys."
Terry Robiskie is a longtime NFL assistant and was receivers coach this season with the Miami Dolphins.

Father tread path for Brian Robiskie of Ohio State Buckeyes to follow, says Bill Livingston


Friday, January 04, 2008Bill Livingston
Plain Dealer Columnist
New Orleans
-- Terry Robiskie grew up in the Louisiana swamps with the music of the old French trappers on his tongue. "I hunted and fished in Bayou Lafourche, Bayou des Glaises, all of them," he said.
That's "Forked River," "River of Ice" and, otherwise, a wilderness of water and Spanish moss to you and me.
Once the Browns' interim head coach, Robiskie, 53, was a habitual visitor to places where the only way out for a tourist might be to float to freedom in a rush basket. His late father Raymond spoke fluent French.
Terry grew up in Lucy, La., 25 miles west of here. He was one of the most heavily recruited high school football players in the country. Billy Cannon -- who won the 1959 Heisman Trophy after the most famous play in LSU history, an 89-yard punt return on which he broke seven tackles against Ole Miss on Halloween Night -- personally recruited him.

Trip to Dome bittersweet for Ohio State's Robiskie


Sunday, January 06, 2008 By Nakia Hogan

At least twice a year for the past three years, the elderly man and his daughter boarded a plane to head north to watch his grandson play college football. It was a taxing process, yet one Raymond Robiskie looked forward to each time.
This time, his grandson had good news for him.
His grandfather wouldn't have to travel to the next game. The game was coming to him.
A month ago, when Ohio State junior receiver Brian Robiskie realized the Buckeyes were heading to Monday night's BCS title game in New Orleans, he was ecstatic, not just because they would get a chance to redeem themselves after what happened in last year's title game against Florida, but also because he was going to do it in his grandfather's backyard, the state where his dad became famous, the place his family still calls home. The whole family was excited.
A scramble was made for tickets, jerseys and Ohio State memorabilia. It was going to be a special game.

I know this is a long shot but I'll try. In the National Championship program on page 71 there is a photo of Brian catching a pass against Youngstown State. Does anyone know where I could possibly purchase this photo, or does anyone know the origin (photographer) of it?

Thanks

Ohio State's Robiskie to return for senior season

Posted by Doug Lesmerises January 10, 2008 18:15PM

DOUG LESMERISES
Plain Dealer Reporter
COLUMBUS - Ohio State won't be losing all of its juniors with NFL potential. Brian Robiskie, the Buckeyes' leading receiver, said tonight that he will return for his senior season.

APBrian Robiskie

"For a while it was a decision for me," Robiskie said. "But after being with my dad for the last few weeks, all we talked about was me coming back." The son of former Browns assistant and interim head coach Terry Robiskie, Brian was Ohio State's leading receiver this season with 55 catches for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns. That tied Robiskie for 10th for catches in a season in OSU history, ranked him 11th in yardage and tied him for fourth in touchdowns. If Robiskie just matches the numbers from his junior season, he would finish his career in the top five all-time at OSU in all three receiving categories.

A marketing major, he also was named an Academic All-American and he now has a chance to be the sixth two-time winner of that honor in Ohio State history.
"Obviously, you have the desire to play in the NFL," Robiskie said. "And for me, I feel like I want to do more than just play college football. But I feel like there's a lot I want to do that I haven't accomplished yet in college. First and foremost is win a national championship, and we've been there twice but we can't seem to win it."
So he'll be back with that in mind. Other OSU juniors who are considering the NFL but haven't publicly announced their decisions yet are linebackers James Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman, defensive end Vernon Gholston, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins and left tackle Alex Boone.
