There can only be one #16 in our list. There is only one #16 in the hearts of millions of Buckeye fans: Craig Krenzel.
Everyone knows Craig was the smartest football player to ever live. Everyone knows he graduated with a triple degree in Molecular Genetics, Quantum Mechanics, and Philosophy (Summa Cum Laude, natch). Here are a few things people may not know about him:
- He once did a quarter’s worth of Biology 114 homework for Lydell Ross at half-time of the Michigan game
- He showed Jason Bourne how deadly a copy of Gray’s Anatomy can be.
- He blinded Trev Alberts with science. And with with beating the Unbeatable Miami Hurricanes.
- He introduced Brent Musberger to eternal Rapture during the 2002 Purdue game with a single pass.
Does anyone else know of other exploits that we left out?
“Excuse me, Mr. Lucas. Maybe you should leave Jar-Jar Binks out of Episode 2.”
-Craig Krenzel, 2002
I can’t decide if the best OSU game I ever attended was that one or the Michigan game 2 weeks later…
@BBC – I wondered whose idea that was!
@Jack – That’s like deciding which of your kids is your favorite.
While on the QB roll… 15 days = Stanley Jackson + Joe Germaine…
I thought Krenzel advised Mo Clarette that he really couldn’t walk on water?
@Zach – He probably did advise him, but the advice was obviously not heeded.
