Around the 'Shoe

Scotty Mac plunked me in baseball!

Other than him, I can't think of much that came out of the MSL around 2000. I knew a couple walk-ons and a lineman that went to UC then to the league for a few years.

OK , probably not many will remember these two. Bob Ferguson and Bob Timberlake. Ferguson was all everything at TOSU as Fullback. Later played for Steelers& Redskins. Timberlake stared as QB at Scum. I was a safety at the Burg and Ferguson was Fullback at Troy,Ohio. He was 6ft,220 and won the state in 100yd dash. No way could ANY HS DB tackle him,one on one. I still have aches from that guy!!

Bob Ferguson was my first Buckeye hero. I was 8 years old when I first saw him play. He played football as it is meant to be played.

In high school I played against Bobby Hoying and Jeff Hartings who both played in the NFL and in college I played against Stanley Drayton his senior year at Allegheny.

No one ran the hook and ladder like Warren JFK in the late 80's early 90's

I played with with Our buckeyes own Mike Collins Dt 98-02 I believe and played for the Lions a bit from what I can remember. He was always a year older so started when I was in grade 6 with him. Such a big guy from such a early age. Played against the Big Kat and he knocked me on my ass a few times. Still play football here in Australia and one of the guys I played with here and was a teammate of mine is with Boise State as a punter tho I saw nothing about him this year so not sure what's going on with him.

I got hit by Woodson and that hurt...a lot. With that said, I am glad I am not you. The Big Kat hit was a beast!!

I played against him the first time I played at Center when I was a Sophmore and Kat was a senior.

My senior year I played against Anthony Munoz' son from Moeller when he was a Sophmore. Lets just say my game was a lot better against him then Kat.

I went to Oak Harbor high school and played against Tim Anderson growing up. I was an undersized guard, he state champion heavyweight wrestler who our team referred to as "the Lumberjack." It was I quit playing football early in high school, in part because lining up against guys twice my size was not fun. My block of choice was definitely the chop block. Dive at his knees and hope he tripped over me. I'm guessing he was also glad guys like me quit playing football.

New to the site but liked the topic...played basketball against Tony Kimbrow from Louisville (he did not last long) Felton Spencer who went on to the nba could not walk and chew gum in highschool and a former buckeye Ely(?) Brewster guard for bucks (he did not last long), played against Scott Crawford qb at Cory Rawson SCum recruit that did not pan out and golfed against Doug Martin Van Buren was on pga for awhile

Jerry Mapes was the running back for that McComb 1983 State Championship. I think the state final ended up 7-0 in favor of McComb. We played that McComb team and they were lights out. Funny how most of the star players on good teams in my area never even went to college even though they were offered schollies. Some were offered by small schools but still, a free ride to college and not go? Silly.
