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.

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.

Ohio State vs. Texas.
It's going to be great.
ping
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.
should be....
hopefully it will be

I hope the Buckeyes win, but probably by the time the game rolls around, I will be so well lubricated, let's say, that I won't care too much hehe
Oh boy Mike,
Have fun at the Shoe.
I can hear the O-H-I-Os even now.

don't know if I am going yet to the 'Shoe, but I will be somewhere, in Cbus....possibly inebriated, with my wife hand in hand enjoying it with me.
Don't tell anybody......
But President Bush is really a Buckeyes fan.......
Gotta love a fight song written by Cole Porter...

Who cares about the pro team in Columbus...
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?
