Kalvin McRae was hoping to hear his name called in the NFL Draft last weekend. That didn't happen so Ohio's all-time rushing leader signed a rookie free agent contract with the the Kansas City Chiefs. McRae was one of three Bobcats to sign with an NFL team. Safety Todd Koenig was inked by Cleveland and long snapper Ryan Senser was signed by New Orleans.

McRae will go to camp battling with other running backs for playing time behind the Chiefs' superstar running back Larry Johnson. Koenig, who opened eyes with impressive 40-yard dash times leading up to the draft, will try to land a spot with the Browns. The always reliable Senser is hoping to land a long snapping gig with the Saints.

Ohio defensive tackle Landon Cohen became the first Bobcat to have his name called in the NFL Draft since punter Dave Zastudil in 2002. The Detroit Lions selected Cohen with the 216th pick in the seventh round of the draft. Last season, he made 59 tackles with a team high 12.5 tackles for loss. Cohen played in every game during his Ohio career and was a starter for the last 37 games.

A late 42-yard touchdown pass from Brian Sweeny to Robbie Spencer lifted the White team to a 20-14 win over the Green team in the annual Spring Game at Peden Stadium Saturday afternoon. But most noteworthy was the performance of junior college transfer quarterback Boo Jackson who completed 16 of 20 passes for 190 yards. After a couple of early interceptions, incumbent QB Theo Scott settled down to complete seven of 12 passes for 102 yards.

In 1999, regular BobcatAttack.com poster Tim Burke created a tee shirt as a result of a lawsuit Ohio State filed against Ohio University for trade marking the name "Ohio" in relation to use in college athletics. The shirt featured the words "We are OHIO" on the front and "You are STATE" on the back, playing off of how Ohio State and their fans often forget the "state" part of their university's name while chanting, spelling things on their field, and naming athletic venues.

With the two schools meeting on the gridiron again this year, the battle of Ohio might flair up again. In response to users of BobcatAttack.com's message board discussing funny signs and tee shirts related to the game, College Book Store in Athens has produced a replica of Burke's original homemade shirt.

However, more importantly, on September 6th (day of the Ohio/Ohio State game) College Book Store will donate $2 for every shirt sold to the Ohio University Foundation's Dan Lowe Memorial Scholarship Fund on behalf of BobcatAttack.com and the Ohio University O-zone.
