He's one helluva great player. More than glad he's a Buckeye.

Congrats to James. I wonder if there has ever been a winner of that award with a 4.0 gpa like James has?

.....and for anyone on here with young kids that are Laurinaitis or OSU fans....Laurinaitis and Brian Hartline will be key members of the Lexington Youth football camp (grades 2-8, one hour drive from Massillon) again this summer like they were last year. Both have committed to doing the camp again this year. I will post info when it is available on exact dates.

He is a beast and plays like a man posesseed all the time!!! Next year might be his last at OSU!!! Money isin't an issue with his family but he might bolt to the NFL!!!

Crackerman,
Let me know when the camp will be held and maybe I can take off and bring my boys!!

will do Monte, It was a great camp last year which included Laurinaitis, Hartline, Andy Allman (former Tiger at Akron), David Ziegelhofer (lex grad that plays at Ashland), Nich Smith (GlenOak and Michigan St) and Crable. Actually Crable over slept it, but promises to be there this year..lol (true story). The NCAA changed their rules as well last year, it was suppose to have Downing and Pittman as well from OSU, but the NCAA would not permit all the guys from one school there. Jason Giannini (GlenOak and Minnesota) will be there this year as well for kicking.
Also Monte, the camp works well because it is a Friday and Saturday camp because that is when the Buckeye players have off from conditioning. Works out great because then the parents an come and watch, because many do not have to work on Saturdays.

Congrats to James. #33 is a good number to have because that was Spielmans number with the Tigers. As for the Buckeyes, That's just the beginning. More hardware is to come starting this weekend with troy Smith. What's he practically have locked up again? Ahhhh, that's right the Heisman. Then on Jan the 8th, something called the National Championship trophy.:rockon: :trophy: Go Bucks, Beat Florida.
