Indoor football: QB mayhem costs Wisconsin in loss

The quarterbacks playing Saturday night at the Dane County Coliseum were polar opposites based on experience.

On one side, there was Stanley Jackson, who played his college ball at Ohio State and has spent more than a decade playing professional football.

Jackson, who had a cup of coffee with the Seattle Seahawks before playing seven years in the Canadian Football League, was 20-for-29 for 249 yards on the night.

?Our line has played extremely well and we?re so deep at receiver,? Jackson said. ?All I?ve got to do really is not get sacked and put the ball in the right place.?

Jackson did just that most of the time. Still nimble at the age of 34, he also used his feet to escape pressure and create more time for his receivers to get open

Said Wolfpack coach Jordan Kopac: ?He?s been around so long that everything slows down for him.?

BUCYRUS -- For Stanley Jackson, growing up in Patterson, N.J., meant one thing: You voted Democrat.

"If you know anything about New Jersey, you know that it is a Democratic state," Jackson said.

"My dad voted Democrat. If you asked him who he was voting for in the election, he would respond 'whose the Democrat running?' "

But Jackson, who had an African-American father and a Hispanic mother, grew more conservative as he got older.

"I realized that I grew up with conservative values," Jackson said. "When I tell people now that I'm a Republican, they usually fall down."

The former Ohio State quarterback spoke Thursday night at the second monthly meeting of the newly-formed Harding Area Young Republicans at Baker's Pizza and Sport Shack.

Former OSU Player Speaks At Republican Celebration
originally posted on: 11/2/2009



Local Republicans hosted a celebration of service this past weekend at the Cafe on Main Street at 28 North Main Street in Mansfield.

Former Ohio State University quarterback Stanley Jackson was a special guest at the event. Jackson, who starred for the Buckeyes in the late 1990's and also played professional football in the NFL and Canadian League, said he was on hand to share his vision for the state and the country and celebrate things with people who are like-minded.

Jackson said he believes the core of a great community is the family. He said family values are very important and feels its something that's been lost in America, especially in the black community and it's something this country needs to get back to.

I would have invited Joe Germaine instead. Or at least had Joe come in for a couple one-liners.

He looks pretty good and it sounds like he is making a success of his life.

I must admit that I always feel uncomfortable when some guy starts talking about family values and wanting to have a conversation with like-minded people. I'm like-minded, but avoid politicians who talk about family values like the H1N1. They seem to have this odd way of violating them pretty quickly and in a very public way.

[John Cooper]I think the Republicans could have won it all in 1996 if we'd have just decided on Joe Germaine over Stanley Jackson right from the get-go.[/John Cooper]
