I remember back when I was a constant presence on the message boards feeling like I couldn't wait for summer to end and college football to begin. Very little to talk about and as a result, cranky bickering tends to dominate the board, since getting all bent out of shape was the only way people got motivated to post very much.
So, here are my Tuesday Topics that I'd like to offer in the hopes of bringing peace to this war-torn wasteland - please discuss as you wish, or attempt to honor the late great Beavermobile with threadjacks galore.
you dirty heathen anarchists.
I'm looking at you, blowcheese!!
1. We have a long tradition of picking a non-mainstream player for board adoration. Will Darkins comes to mind. The SuperFly himself, James Rodgers as a freshman. BHard17. David "Bubba" Pa'aluhi. Who you guys got for 2019? Is Champ Flemings on your list?
2. OL minutiae, X's and O's heads check in. What do you think of this OL? Some of the nastiest OL's that OSU ever fielded featured prominent usage of pull plays. The best version of the Riley offense had this center named Kyle DeVan who could play in space like nobody I can remember. His footspeed and ability to perform in space on the pull counter turned an undersized fullback masquerading as a tailback into a killer. Can Eldridge move and play in space?
3. Tyjon Lindsey. Is this kid gonna figure as a big part of the offense this year?

You, Puffy Daddy do not qualify in any sense for that, however i do have a use for this thread to help me with something that's been bothering me if it can be an installment of Ask Puffy Daddy Anything About OSU Football. Puffy Daddy, last week i dropped by the practice field to check out off season activities. Here is what i saw: SHOULD I BE VERY WORRIED? By the way if Champ Flemings ever becomes so mainstream that we can't even mascot him i will be livid/elated.

He was a heat seeking missile of wrecking ball death and destruction. Back in that era of football, here at OSU where our defense had some stink, some nasty. Al Afalafa type wood layers. MLBs that would slobberknock you into last century and safeties that would take your head off. But damn, the fans loved that guy. Something Christian, or Christianson. something like that. THAT is your non-mainstream board crush example.

Here's my Keller Christensen post from last time this topic came around. Looks like I'll be re-posting it every couple of years to keep his memory alive.
Played high school basketball against Christensen. Always hated him. Mainly because he was so intense and strong that it hurt to even touch him so I was basically worthless the whole game. In baseball he threw pretty hard and had a good enough curve that he was tough to hit but in my final HS baseball at bat I homered off of him.
Fast forward 4 years and I see him at Cantina one night. I tell my buddy the above anecdote and that Christensen is an asshole and I hate him so naturally my buddy walks over and says "Hey, my friend took you deep in HS". Keller proceeds to get a big smile, says hi like we are old friends and said, "I always liked playing against you." We then had a decently long chat about competition and how people can be different on and off the field. And just like that I found out he was really nice and a pretty good dude.
Long story short, I'm cosigning Keller Christensen being a fan favorite

The flowing locks (which he donated to Locks of Love) definitely belonged to Keller Christensen.. wasn't he living in his car or something prior to walking on at OSU and later earning a schollie?

I'm so old now after 20 years of this, I'd be thrilled if August is 100 days.
Definitely Champ for this family. We met Champ Fleming's dad on the elevator during the Reno game, not sure how or why, conversations bloom when you say "go Beavs". We walked out of the elevator right as his kid was returning a kick. I said "that's your son right", then looked at my 15 year old, who is 2 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier than Champ, and said "pussy" I'm kidding. my kids were pretty stoked the Beavers worked their way back til….SHANK. They are learning Beaver love the hard way, by earning it.
