Terrelle Pryor #2
gotta throw mike doss in here too
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Yes sir.
I'll take Cris Carter over both.
Brandon Saine and "Mr. Spring Game" Bam Childress #3
Number 4 in your programs, number (insert yours here) in your hearts.....Kirk Herbstreit.
"Success - it's what you do with what you got" - Woody Hayes
I will take Santonio Holmes.
Kurt Coleman
#5 Xbrax 360
#6 - Cie Grant
#7- Ted Ginn
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
I still go with Chris Gamble here....
You could also throw in Joe Germaine or Joey Galloway
#8 - Roy Hall (aka the man that injured Teddy Ginn in the National Championship)
I have to go with Stanley Jackson here!!
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
can't...resist...
If for no other reason than the haircut. He was pretty good though.
#9 Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves)
David Boston...
He is an F B I agent.......
I always thought Shane Falco had more talent.

I was going to bet on Troy or Rex.....guess that would have been a gamble.
"Success - it's what you do with what you got" - Woody Hayes
Great player, not so good of a person. Tragic actually.
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
#11: Antoine Winfield, a Thorpe Award winner and three-time Pro Bowler.
Still my favorite Buckeye of all time.
Here here.
#12...on the receiving end of "Holy Buckeye"...Michael Jenkins.
#13 - Maurice Clarett
mo is definitely the right call here, but i want to give some love to damon moore as well, one of my all time favs
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
#13 Chad Cacchio
How Firm Thy Friendship....
#14 Bobby Hoying
Bauserman?
I feel like I'm missing something here but will take a shot.....#14 - Eric Kumerow.
#15, the incumbent, Devin Smith:
#16...
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
+1 For Krenzel, but figured one of these would have been picked for the pic:
Oh, this'll be popular.
I think he gets an undeserved bad break from many Bucks fans...
#17 Todd Boeckman
#18 Najee Murray (but will this still be his number when he's a star?):
#19 Ahmed Plummer:
#20 CB Neal Colzie (1972-1974)
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
Our newest (recently changed) #21, and my favorite linebacker: Boom Perkins. He was fast and a linebacker before Mike Mitchell made it cool.
give me Nate Salley all day over perkins..no offense of course.
I would agree, but this is not by skill. <3 Boom
How do we not put Leon Sandcastle here!?
I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault.
JACK TATUM
#22:
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
This might go down as the biggest absolute slam dunk of any selections. For some reason, #22 is not especially popular. No #22 on the Buckeyes current roster, it seems.
his number is retired.
Good point - I forgot about that (duh!).
Ron Springs (team captain and a HUGE setup for #24)
#24 - CB Shawn Springs (rhymes with Ron Springs... I see what you did there).
Sorry I don't know how to post a picture. Can somebody bail me out?
No relation to OSUFORLIFE...
Thank you!!
also his father......
Antonio Pittman #25 Perhaps the most undervalued back at OSU. Loved his game.
I work with two TSUN fans, and this pic has been my Windows desktop for years.
Also wasn't Carlos Snow # 25 as well?
Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.
I believe you are correct.
My first tOSU jersey ever was a Pittman jersey! He was one of my favorite players when i was younger!
#26 - Robert Smith
I know Robert Smith is probably the most famous 26, but this guy was pretty good, too.
Edit: Dammit, someone beat me to it.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
#27 is the man himself, Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George:
I had to add this one
No relation to OSUFORLIFE...
28 gotta be Beanie
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
oddly enough, we have 2 RBs who have worn 28, both last named wells...Jonathan and Beanie...i'd say you picked the better of the 2.

29 pepe pearson
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Hon. Mention to Inwood Smith, all-America and all-Big Ten in 1936.
Damn. Deep track there. Love it.
29 and one of the all-time great names......Pepe Pearson
"Because I couldn't go for 3"
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
Too good to pass up. Lydel, Crydel, Side Step, Donna Ross.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Lydell was a stud, and one of my favorites.
Also #30, Greg Bellisari, M.D.:
Baby-Wes Fesler is crying.....
is this a joke? lydell ross sucked
Lydell Ross's block on the 2002 Holy Buckeye play is the only reason Krenzel got the ball off in time. If you liked the 2002 National Championship, you should have some respect for Lydell Ross.
No block on that play, no pass, no catch, no win and we never go to the 2002 Championship game.
Still Greg Bellisari was a better 30 than Lydell...lets be honest
oook if you say so, it wasn't a difficult block IMO, slow blitzing mlb picked up by the guard funneled right to lydell ross' face, gave him a little push, krenzel steps up and launches, the only way that wasnt going to be a td is if osu is in an empty formation with no backs blocking lol
Maurice Hall, Maurice Clarett, OR Brandon Joe could have made that block

how about the ever underrated joe montgomery at 33
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Agree 100%...almost posted a pic of him instead. He was my favorite running back...took 3 guys to take him down!
"Anything less than flagrant is just playing grab ass!"
Lots of 33s to choose from...the ones in this thread plus Pete Johnson, Gomer Jones, Bob White, Ollie Cline....
Was at the game where he blew his knee out. Still SMH over that.

34: Raymont Harris

#35 Jim Otis
This post doesnt say football, how about this guy for 34? :)
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
Looks like he's got some of his infamous 'runs' in that pic!
#35 THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND!!! my favorite! Matt Wilhelm!
"Anything less than flagrant is just playing grab ass!"
And...that hit^^^^ possibly as big of play as any in the NC!
"Anything less than flagrant is just playing grab ass!"
and, sadly, probably gets a flag in today's game.

#46: Tim Spencer and Marlon Kerner
#47: Doug Donnelly, aka "White Lightning"
We can't leave this guy out though :D
Can't see the pic, but assuming one of my favorites, AJ Hawk. Couldn't help but go retro, and mention the Cambridge, OH guy and fellow Eastern Ohioan.
Chic Harley?
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
I remember being a 12 year old kid sporting an AJ Hawk walking out of Ohio Stadium and an old man came up to me and said "Nice Chic Harley jersey!" I was embarrassed to have no idea who he was talking about (at the time)
48 - Brian Baschnagel
No love for the punter? Jon Thoma?
Thank you for not having to resort to Mark "Bo" Pelini
#48 Brian Baschnagel......great wingman for Archie.
Edit: Ludwig beat me to it......
"Success - it's what you do with what you got" - Woody Hayes
#49: Tough, and admit I had to search, but will take the opportunity to honor the late Jayson Gwinn.
Man he would've been an all timer; I went to Brookhaven my freshman year, and he still has to be the biggest human being I've ever seen.
"Don't put syrup on shit, and tell me it's pancakes"
No matter how sh*tty the tour is, it's always tough to leave.
#50: Clue ... He lived on Long Street ... LOL ... Big Vern!

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Mangold at 55?

One of my all time favorites at #56.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
yes sir. he and big willy style were in full-on beast mode against scum and miami

Best DE tandem in OSU history, In my humble opinion.

thats because we are in Guard and Center territory...not the most well known guys on the rosters.
The next few are easy so to get this moving on......#61 Jack Thrush
#62: All-time Buckeye great, Jim Parker.
#63: Kirk Lowdermilk
#64: Jim Lachey
#65: Has to be a very rare scUM transfer ... Justin Boren.
Andrew Moses?
I was gonna say Tommy "Red" James but that works :)
I had no idea who to put but I wanted the thread to keep going. I just ended up googling someone.

#81 Billy Anders
I remember #81 Louis Irizarry. Man he could have been a good one. We should start a list of Jersey numbers in need of a star player. 81 needs some love. Paging Marcus Baugh!
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
Jan White
Did anyone else really like the thicker black stripes on the helmets?
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
#79 Chris Ward ... damn did we have some good linemen ... too bad my ripe years were in the Bollman era
#82 - Anyone but Ray Small
#83 - Couldn't find a one handed sideline catch that I seemed to remember, but this pic is vintage Terry Glenn
I don't recall a Terry Glenn one haded sideline catch. Cris Carter is the one that stands out in my mind.
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
# 84 Bob Brudzinski

#91 Jason Simmons
Jason Simmons had his Buckeye card revoked.
What did he do/say?
http://www.ohio.com/sports/jason-simmons-gets-one-year-sentence-1.101074
I dated one of his ex's at tOSU. Good thing I didn't follow his tracks here.
#92 Adolphus Washington:
Matt Finkes head and shoulders above.
Let's give Adolphus a few years to do his thing before figuring out where he fits in the pantheon of great Buckeye DLmen.
Yep I agree..and at this point he hasnt so I will stick with Finkes.
Btw, I was thinking that this thread wasn't necessarily a "best ever to wear the number" thing.
Rather, I kinda like that it's included a mix of current, recent, vintage players; great players and lovably-not-so-great players; triumphant champions but also a few tragic stories.
Here's the man!!!
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
Finkes- skinniest arms in the modern history of OSU D-lineman
but could flat out play
I'm a friend of thunder is it any wonder lightning strikes me
#93 Will Smith:
+1, +2 if I could for the same pic
#94 Mike Vrabel:

Are we stuck on 96 or is everyone driving home from work?
Was just going there!
I hope we wouldn't get stuck on (or forget about) this guy:
