Franshaw "BOO" Jackson

Posted: 11/5/2010 3:16:01 AM

What a career! Wow I don't care what conference this guy would have played in MAC SEC Boo Jackson is a PLAYER! Regardless of what people say Ohio could very well be sitting at 9~1 right now..it is a credit to this young man to have went through a injury..a benching and to continue to keep a smile on his face and just the heart of a champion! He just makes plays..there are not a handful of players in america that can come back from 4 ints and do what he did. Greatest Qb in Ohio history and can be mentioned ad greatest player ever if he can lead us to a championship and bowl win. Opposing coaches hate to gameplan for him because he does so much equally well.

I heart Boo. Great football player and even better man. He will be missed...We have been blessed with 2 great QBs in a row, because I really really liked Theo too.

But greatest Bobcat ever might be getting carried away. Maybe if he can lead us to victory the next 4 games!

He makes it easy to be a fan. A great example of a great college athlete. Half the kids in my backyard want to be Boo Jackson. Even the one wearing the red&grey number 2.

Boo made the ESPN "unstoppable play of the day" with the three TD variety pack, Even had a nice shot of the TD reception with only one shoe. Lotsa coverage on Sports Center.

I'm not ready to go the "greatest Bobcat ever" route, but I do think that if Boo Jackson were to find a way to remain in Athens, he would never have to work very hard for business or buy a beer from his own wallet.

Stuck around after the game and saw Boo take all the time in the world with the fans (young and old) to sign and chat. The guy is real class. If he can lead OUr team to a few more wins (including a bowl), he will be the greatest ever.

Dude was pumped about his TD reception, ESPN showed him going crazy on the sidelines. And then later on the sidelines after he hit McCrae for the TD on 4th and 1 it showed Terrance celebrating and then giving Boo a playful hug from behind while he was on the phone with the coaches, was a funny moment.

Boo has proven to be a great human being. I'm very glad and proud that he is a BOBCAT! He will be missed. Let's hope to see more of that magic in the remaining 4 games!

What impressed me most about Boo last night and now for his career was that during pre game Senior recognition, he had a greeting and a hug for every teammate and every member of their family. I've never seen that before and it was special.

If my daughter brought Boo or a young man of similar qualities home I would congratulate her! Boo is everything that you want in a college athlete or a human being...I really think he could do anything that he wants to do when football is over. Regardless of how the season ends he is the greatest Thank you Franshaw!!

Solid CAT. Takes time for the kids and seems to stay after games forever for the fans.

In Ohio his rep is actually pretty big. People that don't know Ohio football but know that I do always mention Boo.

Many remember his Shoe performance against OSU a few years ago. Me thinks he became a household name after that game.

Let's hope a blue chip QB or 2 would like to Do The Boo in the next few years at Ohio.

I've always been on the Cleve Bryant as the best Ohio player because of his ability to run and pass. He wasn't a Bates or Kareem Wilson....but he was close. Boo may have the better stats but Cleve had a great arm.

A victory over Temple led by Boo vaults him to #1 in my book.

Boo is an excellent quarterback, but you probably weren't even alive in the late 60's when the greatest quarterback in OU history played. I haven't seen one better. Cleve led us to an undefeated regular season, a ranking of 16th in the country, and a Top 20 ranking even after we lost the Tangerine Bowl 49-42. He led us to a 60-48 victory over a very good UC team, and outdueled outstanding UC quarterback Greg Cook by throwing for about a gazillion yards.

I would agree that Cleve was better on the field. He also had a better target (Todd Snyder) than any of our current stable of good WRs. Though I don't have the statistics right in front of me at the moment, I think Cleve had far fewer INTs -- both in actual numbers and on a percentage basis. But, Boo is one our best and, as others have said, he is a great person. I will concede that if you consider the total person perspective that Boo may be our best QB ever, but not solely on athletic talent.
