Jake "LLLL" Butt (traitor)

Yes, Michigan's Jake Butt realizes his last name is funny

Jake Butt (center facing camera) and his family definitely have a good time with their last name. "We taught our kids at an early age to just have fun with it," Jake's dad, Rob (aka Headbutt), said. "The whole family, we just enjoy the silliness of it." Courtesy of the Butt family

One of the best players in college football is named Jake Butt. His position: tight end.

We'll pause here for your jokes. Just understand that the Michigan senior has heard them all before.

Even Jimmy Fallon and his "Tonight Show" writers have made their wisecracks over his name. Last December, after Butt claimed the Big Ten tight end of the year award, Fallon dedicated a full minute of his opening monologue to some rapid-fire, bottom-shelf humor.

"Other tight ends are mad, but they don't want to make a big stink about it," Fallon deadpanned. "Butt would brag, but he doesn't want to toot his own horn."

I knew the guy's last name was Castor, but thought his first name was Eddie, but it's Jimmy. The song came out in the early '70s when I was in high school:

I used to prank call a guy named Harold Butt in the Columbus Yellow Pages mercilessly.

I have no idea what they were spelling; however, I don't think it was Jake Butt's fan club......

 

[Jaxbuck]

So was he a 4th or 5th loss SR?

I believe, sadly, he only has four losses. '13 grad.

Great kid who really wants an OSU offer.

Another talented Ohio player going to Michigan over MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa. Hate to see that happen. Hoke doing a good job selling these kids on "giving them love."

Didn't offer.

So was he a 4th or 5th loss SR?

He was a 4 loss senior.

FWIW, I consider him a "recruiting miss" (i.e. not a traitor). I would vote to remove the word "traitor" from the thread title. Apparently if we would have recruited him there was a very good chance we would have gotten him. If you don't offer him a scholarship, you can't blame the kid for going to another school.

Of course. That much is self-evident.

But you most certainly can blame him for going to Michigan.

So, traitor he shall be and remain until the end of time.

No I don't. If Ohio State doesn't offer, he as a right to go to any school of his choice (and be blameless). I don't know why he chose Michigan, but it could be for any number of valid reasons that could include, i.e. chance to play Div 1 football against good competition, chance to play early, liked Hoke, fairly close to home, liked their facilities, and/or scUM offered a major that he was interested in, etc.

FWIW, I realize that the changing the thread titles on Buckeye Planet is a dictatorship (i.e. not a democracy) and it is no big deal to me. However, just my "2¢ worth" as stated above, I consider him a "recruiting miss" and not a "traitor".
