Indians In
Two former Indians became the only players inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the 2011 class.
Robby Alomar (90%)
Bert Blyleven (79.7%)
Heartfelt congratulations to both.
No luck for McGwire(19.8%), Palmeiro(11%), Bagwell(41.7%)? My 2 cents? Put 'em all in.
How Sweet It Is
Dane added a TD catch, as did DeVier Posey,
and Daniel Herron ran in untouched. The halftime score was 28-10. The Bucks front 7 (esp. Heyward and Simon) dominated. A raw secondary stood tall after losing Chimdi Chekwa. All looked well. Then, BOOM, the Buckeyes imploded in the second half. Herron was caught for a safety. Herron fumbled. And, after Ben Buchanan's punt was blocked with just over a minute left, Ryan Mallett had the ball in his hands with less than 20 yards to go and a minute plus left in a 31-26 game. Then after the nation's top tight end dropped Arkansas' 8th pass of the night, poetic justice stepped in. On 2nd-and-10, the Bucks bull rushed, Mallett back peddled, he lofted a pass into the flat and...
Solomon Thomas caught the ball.
Yes, Solomon Thomas plays for the Buckeyes. Yes, Solomon Thomas is one of the Buckeye Five. And, yes, Solomon Thomas intercepted Arkansas to clinch a Sugar Bowl victory. Terrelle Pryor limped back to the field to stand in the victory formation and the rest is blissful history. If you haven't seen the postgame interview with Pryor, I'll get it up as soon as I can.
Thank you, Buckeyes. It was a hell of a year.
Here's the link to ESPN's Sugar Bowl replay. I'll put on the side as well.
And if you would like to buy TP's Sugar Bowl ring, find it on eBay.
Cheers.
