I agree Matcar. Marek was an animal and knocked me on my ass setting screens playing pickup hoops at the rec center. He could play some football.

I just can't even consider Katzenmoyer for the list given other players there.

As an aside, who were the best pros?

Pepper Johnson
Spielman (easy choice)
Gradishar

Those would be the 3 I'd choose.

Tremendous list of linebackers to choose from, but, when Randy Gradishar only has 57% of a top 5 vote (at the time of this post), I am more than a little upset. There are certain players who define a position at tOSU, and he was one who laid the foundation for others to build upon.

Gradishar
Cousineau
Speilman
Katzenmoyer
Hawk

Assuming each is at the peak of their career. I didn't get to watch Marek on TV as I did Katzenmoyer, so that's why I gave Katz the edge.

The real LB U

hawk will always be my #1 lb for OSU but like many others have stated there are so many great ones to choose from. Ill post my 5...

1) Hawk
2) Gradishar
3) Marek
4) Katzenmoyer
5) Spielman

Now Lil animal may make this list after this year and I would be remiss if i didnt mention Wilhelm for how he played during that magical 02 season but those would be my top 5. Now just for clarification, I never watched cousineau, gradishar or marek play so I am going off of what i have read and what my dad has told me.

:oh:
