Berry Receives Tatum Award.

That's exactly what I was thinking, an Ohio based club give the award to the most deserving player even though a kid in their own backyard won the Thorpe award.

GREAT!!! That is who he has reminded me of since I watched him play last season. Tatum was one badass football player. It is a very old book but if you can find it (and are interested) read They Call Me The Assassin by Jack Tatum (Title might be a little different, but it is his autobiography and has Assassin in the title). Great stories about Woody Hayes recruiting him.

Snot bubble tackles!!!

I just can't leave this alone. Sorry, but when Tatum was at OSU he did not have a set position, Woody just said go where you want and make the plays...I think they called him a Roverback or Monster, but back them know one could beleive Woody would allow a player to have such freedom. I thought we could have used EB the same way this year, as both he and Tatum hit like LBs, had great field vision, good feet, quick hands, and a nose for the ball and creating mayhem. For the record I am not nor have I ever been an OSU fan or for Oakland...it has always been the VOLS and Steelers until Peyton went to Indy. I used to cheer against Tatum like crazy in the epic battles with Pittsburgh, but he was one hell of a player.

Berry will need a truck to haul all of his awards after Monte gets done with this D.

Berry was punked for the Thorpe. He is an all American, cant take that away. Thorpe was the biggest rip off since 97 Heisman.
