No mercy
As much as us Buckeyes love to talk about what it must had been like in "the old days", we also must accept that times will move on, amazing records will be surpassed and new Hall Of Famers will emerge. This year, that is no exception with at least 3 OSU feats are likely beging to be hopped over. In your opinion, how many do you think gets broke this season?

-> Linebacker A.J. Hawk has 375 career tackles and needs five to pass Pepper Johnson (379) for fifth place. Steve Tovar is fourth with 408.

-> Holmes has 129 career receptions and needs four to pass Dee Miller (132) into fifth place. Gary Williams is fourth with 154.

->Troy Smith has 10 rushing touchdowns this year, fourth best in school history for a quarterback. He needs two to tie Cornelius Greene (12 in 1973) for third. The record is 14 by Les Horvath in 1944, followed by Art Schlichter’s 13 in 1978. Last year, Smith almost broke an OSU record with QB Rush yardage against Michigan - but fell 1 yard shy.

Unless it's the best of the category, it's not a "record"...

Not true, you can record something and it can be a personal record. I didnt title it "Breaking the top records", I limited to other players records.

None-the-less, you shouldnt be arguing about the correct terminology, but being happy for these 3 guys. This was in todays Dispatch BTW and knew people like Mili wouldnt be able to see it, so I put it out here.

Semantics aside, I see Smith breaking the record (if bowl games count) and both others ending the season in 5th place.

If they(OSU) counts them like the NCAA does, then the stats in the bowl game will count towards OSU records.

That was a growing complaint by people who say that new records in the NCAA that were broken with the bowl included should have an * next to them, since before bowl games didn't count towards records.

Now I myself don't consider a "record" an actual "record" if they were broke with the assistance of stats from a bowl game.

But again I would believe OSU does count the bowl game stats since Art Schlichter's single game passing record was set against Florida State...in a bowl game.

Alright, I was incorrect on the FSU game in '81.



BUT I have proven that OSU does count bowl game stats towards records.

The all-time points record was broke by Mike Nugent in the Alamo Bowl.

So OSU does count bowl game stats.

It's been recent, not sure the year, but within the last 10 I want to say, that bowl performance began counting (towards season totals)

Here's another record:

Cooper once bragged that the graduating group of seniors that year (mid-90's) broke the all-time OSU record for number of wins during a 4-year span. At that time, it was 41 wins in a 4-year span. A year or two later, he broke it with 43 wins in a 4-year span.

Currently, Tressel has 41 wins going back to 2002. Two wins and he ties Cooper's mark.

Of course, these win records come with the more recent teams playing more games than were played back in Hayes' days. And Hayes still has the OSU record for win-percentage over a 4-year span. I don't remember what it is, but I do know that Tressel will not break that number with 2 wins.

Don't act like a punk-assed little shit. A "record" is the best of something, period, not your own little closet definition. If you want to play that game, then Joe Daniels' career total of 8 yards rushing broke the record of Joe Schmuckatelli's career total of 7 yards (ranking 764th all-time). :roll1:
