Hawk seeks perfect ending to storybook career
ESPN.COM ^ | 9/9/05 | Pat Forde

Posted on 09/09/2005 6:44:29 PM PDT by MikefromOhio

Around 10 o'clock Friday night, A.J. Hawk will do what he does on the eve of every game. He'll pick up the phone and call his parents.

But before you cue the Waltons music and get all sappy about the family bonding, consider the ritual subject matter between the Ohio State linebacker and his mom, Judy. She's not just there to say nighty-night.

"She's straight-up mean," A.J. says, laughing. "She's not a mean person, but she tells me what she wants me to do to the other team. She's crazy."

Judy's general instructions: Hit 'em all. Hit 'em hard. Violently hard if need be. And be sure to get in a shot on the quarterback.

"She wants him to go out there and kill everybody," A.J.'s brother Ryan says.

"I love to see A.J. hit," Judy Hawk confirms. "We thrive on A.J. hitting people."

That's my boy, Brutal Buckeye.

--snip--

His family will be in its place Saturday to watch the baby of the family do his thing. But first, on Friday night, A.J. Hawk will get his marching orders from his mom: Seek and destroy.

It should be a great game, which means it probably won't. USC Oklahoma was supposed to be a great game.

Come 5pm pst tomorrow I know where I'll be.

Wearing Scarlet and Gray with a few good luck buckeye nuts in the house and hoping the commentators dont make me vomit.

In the last few years we've put a good licking on Kansas State and Oklahoma State. I sure would like another W against a Big 12 school.

Go Bucks!!!!

Win or lose it will be a dynamite game.

Just a question, what is your favorite NFL team?


Michigan better watch out. Do you think Lloyd can go through another season losing to both OSU and ND?
