Boone is MVP of Ohio State media corps By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer
Published on Wednesday Oct 08, 2008
In marked contrast to his head coach, Ohio State offensive tackle Alex Boone isn't afraid to let it all hang out. Ask him a question _ any question _ and he'll offer an honest, usually funny, answer.
He vows that coach Jim Tressel has never told him what to say and not to say.
"Me? No. No, they know I'm pretty respectful about people and things," he said this week during preparations for Saturday's game between the 12th-ranked Buckeyes and Purdue. "They just tell me not to swear. I swear a lot."
Following in the mammoth cleats of fellow lineman Kirk Barton _ always ready to crack wise, detail a colorful story or tell a joke _ Boone is this year's most desired interview by the sizable corps of reporters who cover the Buckeyes.
Toss him a subject, and he's just liable to write your story for you.
For instance, a couple of weeks ago Tressel declined to say anything bad about Ohio State fans who booed quarterback Todd Boeckman. Even when given a second chance to castigate the boo birds, Tressel would only say, "It's disappointing, but we're certainly not going to sit and scold anybody."
Boone didn't have that problem.
He ripped into those who booed, calling them rude and disrespectful.
A senior majoring in history, Boone likes to talk. A lot.
On the subject of those black, horizontal smudges under the eyes that so many of his teammates personalize with messages, he said it was best that he not wear them.

Give it up for Boone! He played with an attitude in the Wiscy game.

i'm surprised there have been no posts re: Boone since Saturday. He was limping around most of the game, Apparently nothing serious.
