Jesse Owens (Buckeye Bullet, 4 Time Olympic Gold Medalist, 8-time NCAA Champion)

Anybody got a decent picture (at a reasonable resolution without all the shadows) of the Jesse Owens plaque that's mounted outside Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium?

I'd like to print it out and put it up in my son's room as a reminder.

Everybody remembers the 1936 Berlin Olympics; however, this has to one the greatest accomplishments in the history of sports:

Greatest 45 minutes ever in sports

Four world records in three-quarters of an hour. Not 45 weeks or 45 days but 45 minutes.

Seventy-five years ago Tuesday, at the 1935 Big Ten Track and Field Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich., Jesse Owens didn't rewrite the record book -- he tore it up.

In less than an hour, the 21-year-old Ohio State sophomore tied the world record in the 100-yard dash and then set the world record in the long jump, the 220-yard dash and the 220 low hurdles.
