It is with A small tint of arrogance that I write this! Never have I
felt so joyful as at this moment. Through most of this past football
season I have hardly paid any attention. It is my privilege, if you
want to term it that, to know a man that went to law school at Ohio
state and one would practically think that as a second job he coaches
Ohio state football. At any rate he is constantly telling me what a superior
outfit they are and how it is only through bad fortune and
sour luck that prevents them from championship after championship.
Well this year they didn't need any
luck, or miracles. This year they
are a truly great team, if I may immodestly state that. The best
player they have, no matter what anyone else says, is that great big
super strong quarterback. He is one truly great talent. He can throw
that ball so far and so accurate under all adverse circumstances. Also, he is not an above average
runner, he is not a good runner, he is
a great runner, and when he is trapped or encircled he doesn't run out
of bounds or fall down, he lowers his shoulders and keeps on coming! He
crashes pell-mell into the tackler, and just as a person knows when
they have been in a car wreck, the tackler knows when he has been
hit. That quarterback is fast and a high stepper.
Another attribute,
he
is very colorful and a real showman without trying to be! My prayer
would be when he turns pro he continues to develop and flourish and
his great potential is reached! He has brought enormous pleasure and
joy to his new fans and as I told John, I fervently support Ohio State
as long as we are winning, should they ever decline, John, I wish you
and your team lots of luck! |
