Apparently there was some form of Hall of Fame announcering going on today, but MLB’s attempt to out-shout us will be denied. Buckeye Nation (Me, Spence, and NickP), be proud as we salute the greatest catches in the history of the last decade’ish of The Ohio State University (and therefore, among the greatest catches in the history of football).
The Inaugural Class of the Hall of Fame of Greatest Ohio State Buckeye Catches* is comprised of exactly three catches: Michael Jenkins, Jake Ballard, and Anthony Gonzalez. Jenkins preserved the National Championship season. Ballard went Air Jordan on the Ducks, leading the way to a Rose Bowl win. Gonzalez, sacrificing himself, kicked Michigan in the teeth with an amazing catch, down 2, with 45 seconds to play.
Note: All nominees must have received a minimum 3 votes from the Official MLJ HOF Election Committee.
Michael Jenkins: Holy Buckeye!
The Catch: Anthony Gonzalez Edition
Jake Ballard: Soaring Above Ducks
Not Quite Making the List, But There’s Always the Veteran’s Committee: Brian Robiskie’s catch against Penn State. The real hero there was Troy Smith as the play became what is known in creative writing circles as “The play that won the Heisman”.

we didn’t complain when you did dildo reviews.
ballard’s catch was the shit. i watched him play hoops and football against my nephew throughout their high school careers (same league) but never saw him sky like that.
probably was the steroids.
Jim Tressel. Just sayin.
/jealous Penn State isn’t as good
Can we count this towards spencer’s total?
