3/06/09 - BUCKEYE 50 BRAINTEASER- “A “GREG”ARIOUS BUCKEYE QUIZ”
February has given way to March, putting us a step closer to spring practice. As the recruiting term goes, it’s a “quiet period” for Buckeye football. But we can try to keep things moving here at Buckeye 50. Just for fun, and in honor of our site photographer and my “Buckeye Brother” Gregg, see how many of these “Greg’s” you can remember from the Scarlet and Gray annals…
1) Until he was injured his senior year, he and William White had locked down the corners since they were freshmen in 1984
2) Followed Nick Goings and Rolland Steele to OSU from Dublin Scioto’s 1995 state title team, and although he didn’t play much, he managed to avoid trouble unlike a basketball player with the same exact name
3) Defensive lineman who was infamously quoted as saying “F**k him” when referring to Robert Smith quitting the team in fall camp of 1991
4) Scored Ohio State’s only touchdown on a pass from Kirk Herbstreit in the world-famous 13-13 “greatest win ever” in 1992
5) Was his era’s Todd Boeckman- rode the bench as a senior captain in favor of sophomore Corny Greene
6) Helped pave the way for Vince Workman and Carlos Snow on OSU’s O-line in the mid-to-late 1980’s
7) Starting tight end on the ’76 team; was the intended target of a Jim Pacenta pass that got picked off in the endzone late in the first half against Michigan
8) Completed a clutch pass- his only throw of the day- to sustain the winning march in Ann Arbor in Earle’s last game
9) Keith Jackson was referring to him when he said about football-mad Columbus “It’s the only town I know where a tight end can grow up to be mayor”
10) He and his sibling became the first brothers to be captains since the Griffin’s
You can email your responses to Joe-S-U, answers will be posted in the future.
