I remember that time period very well as a relative new member of the board of the Green and White Club. Told "thomass" that he was crazy and that the paw would be back. Took a few years but it is.

It seems that every county in the nation has at least one high school that uses some kind of paw -- dog, cat, tiger, zebra, unicorn, etc. No originality. Just blah repetition and copycatism.

But I really liked the "Standing Cartoon Bobcat". I was really glad when they introduced the "Heritage Series" with several of OUr classic logos.

Replacing the stars in the burgee with them was a consideration, but eventually deemed financially irresponsible. Was also unwilling to deal with the unavoidable debate regarding proper angle and direction.

Also what would you think about a commemorative game featuring Ohio's original colors of Blue and Silver from the 1920's? Actually, colors were blue and white. The date of the change was in the early 1890s, when OHIOs first football coach, a graduate student, couldn't find blue and white uniforms, so he ordered uniforms from the same supplier as his undergraduate alma mater, Dartmouth. At least that was the official story that was released by OHIO a number of years ago. I have independently confirmed some but not all of this story. It's certainly possible that there was a period of time when some teams used blue and white and others used green and white. I doubt the baseball team, for instance, immediately changed to green and white just because the football team had a wardrobe malfunction. ;-). A throwback game using blue and white would be interesting. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

How did we get that way? Thanks for any opinion-s. I'd love to hear from a player from 1989, the year after we finished 4-6-1 (4-3-1 in MAC) and if I remember correctly had a lot returning but ended up 1-9-1. What happened? I don't remember us really getting blown out back then. But, we'd just lose every game like 28-17 or something. I've heard that Cleve Bryant and his staff just weren't good at adjustments. So, we'd look good for awhile (a half, whatever) but end up getting losing. Then, we chose Lichtenberg over the other candidate (some guy named Jim Tressel I hear) and it went from bad to worse.

He considered the job a step down from YSU, which at the time it was, of course. I believe our second choice after Lichtenberg was Lee Owens.

Ping's choice, as was mine at the time, was Cleve. Glen withdrew his name after he got the word that we were "going a different direction." I've often wondered what The Wilderness years in football at OHIO would have been like if Mack had been given a free hand in this decision. [Truth in packaging requires that I add that I wrote Mack about Cleve's availability even before the search started. I was really promoting Cleve, as I fondly remembered his playing days. But, as BTC will tell you, I'm no great football mind. Neither was Ping.] The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Many things that were promised him and were elementary to building a program were promised but never delivered under his term, Strength coach, money for summer school and keeping kids on campus during the summer, and meal tables were just a few. All things that have come later and have been instrumental in our successes over the years. Tom had a very good staff, guys who were great coaches and people and who achieved higher levels of success in their careers.
