Bo Knows How to Tackle

Reader, frequent commenter, and eagle-eyed, Tyler, sent us this gem of a video. First, admire one of the hardest hits you'll ever see on a football field. Then, pause it at the 14 second mark. See who's name flashes across the screen during the celebration?
That's right. It's a young Bo Pelini. He was a free safety and co-captain for the Buckeyes during his senior year.
He may not have made the hit in this particular video, but he saw it close up.
One thing is for sure. Bo, knows how to tackle. Let's hope eight months on the job is long enough for him to transfer that knowledge to his Blackshirts.
(P.S. If you find yourself watching tape of the '89 or '90 Ohio State seasons, keep an eye out for other Pelini highlights and send them our way!)

Quite a few buckeyes on the back of that hat. Nice piece.

I just gave my 2 year old a sticker for brushing his teeth. Should I line the stickers up on the back of his head on the left side or right side?

Dwayne, you may have just come up with a great business idea!
Brush your teeth? Buckeye!
Eat all your veggies? Buckeye!
Poo on the potty? Buckeye!

Whatever works at this point for me, but I doubt if I'd ever stoop to a Seminole Tomahawk for a reward.

Yeah, I thought this was so awesome. I can recall seeing Bo celebrate hits from his players in the Nat'l Champ this past year at LSU in a similar way. Now, I can't wait to see him show this genuine enthusiasm on our field. Great clip!

Maybe kids could be rewarded with a dog from a mini veiner schlnger.
Anyway, that Auburn QB should never have thrown that pass, the receiver was totally exposed. Textbook hit though.
