Cam out Game Postponed. Holding my breath and crossing my fingers we don’t have an outbreak or Warren has a meltdown. Wish we were playing today.

Cornelius "Neal" Colzie (No one ever called him Cornelius)
He played Left Halfback on some of Ohio State's best defenses, a position we would call Cornerback today. He was also a dynamic punt returner both at Ohio State and in the NFL. He holds the Ohio State record for the longest punt return in a bowl game, a 56 yarder to the USC 9-yard-line in the 1974 Rose Bowl. It set up the go-ahead score, beginning a 22-0 run to close out the game 42-21. He once turned down a movie role because it would have required him to wear a Stealers uniform. He died in August of 2001 at the age of 48. Rest In Peace.

Tom Tupa
Was the starting QB in 1987, the role in which he is shown in the above picture. His accolades however, were because of his role as an outstanding punter.

Speaking of 18, it's been 18 years since the 2002 National Championship.
Some of the guys on that team are 40 now (Andy turned 41 in September). Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go yell at some kids to get off my lawn.

In next year's countdown he will join the log-jam of great Buckeyes who wore number 2, but this will always be one of my favorite pictures of him.
