Summary

Ohio State football player best exemplifies what it means to be a Buckeye? That’s what we’ll spend the next week trying to figure out with the help of the Buckeye Talk Subtext subscribers. Over 150 people were considered but only 32 could make the official bracket as Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis discuss some of the greatest players in history. But this isn’t about just being the best. It’s about telling the story of a program and who we can’t tell that story without. We’ve finally reached the final stage of this discussion with the debut of our Final Four featuring Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Chris Spielman and James Laurinaitis. Here’s Part 1 of that discussion. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk and sign up to get text messages from experts Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis at 614-350-3315.
