who gives a damn, its an excuse to watch that play again.

NFL Draft Dish: Top 10 prospects for 2009
Posted: May 4, 2008
9. James Laurinaitis, ILB, Ohio State, 6-3/245. Laurinaitis will be amongst a large number of Ohio State players drafted in the first round of the '09 draft. Unlike many players who receive a ton of publicity early in their college careers, Laurinaitis actually lives up to the hype on film. Laurinaitis lacks Cushing's elite athleticism but is just as productive. Laurinaitis will start early in his NFL career.
cont'd...

He's already a Buckeye legend since the first play he took over for Carp against scUM. He's won numerous awards already and been nominated for just about everything he could be, except the Heisman and I even heard one announcer last season touting him for that one. It'll take some ridiculous season for another LB to keep him from the Butkus this season, and that will shore up his legendary status for sure in my eyes. If he leads this defense to another #1 ranking at the end of the year and a MNC, you can mark him down as definitely top 5 all time.

Hello, [censored]ing match split.
Anyhow, while James has brought home the hardware and the numbers, I just don't think that players fear him like they feared AJ, Gradishar, etc.
By this time in Hawk's career, there was no question that he was one of the top 5.
Love JL to death, but I'm not ready to put him quite up there.

Saw him and Malcom Jenkins in the Phoenix airport on Tuesday. Looked even bigger than I last saw him fall of last year. I'm curious as to what they were doing in AZ.

1. Jim Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State -- It's more about getting a degree (Laurinaitis wants to be a broadcaster) than chasing another national championship game.
