All-Time Lineup of Villainous Buckeyes

OP: Who did you miss? Dude. I think you need a category outside the players and coaches.

In that category: Anyone involved in kneecapping UM with SignGate.

RYAN CNUT DAY … end of discussion 

You forgot Greg “Janusz Radziwiłł” Mattison

Shawn Springs slipped in 1996 which resulted in Tai Streets taking it to the house, he's okay in my book. 

I'd replace with Chris Gamble

Troy Smith 

Um, you forgot Greg Mattison.

Edit: along those same lines, Justin Boren. 

Can we add Zach Smith as a hated analyst? Or whatever his role was?

Urban Meyer covered up domestic violence allegations. He is by far the most villainous one. 

Need some referees on this list too.

This is a good list.  Troy Smith's gotta be there though.  His tenure turned the tide.  Michigan used to feast on those statue QBs before him.

 Tom Klaban kicked four field goals in 1974 to beat us 12 - 10 in Columbus, though I still believe Mike Lantry kicked the game winner on the final play. As for the punter, I would choose Tom Skladany, who was a three-time All-American at OSU. No matter how well the Michigan defense would hold the Bucknuts, Skladany would flip the field with a booming punt.

Interesting. Vrabel is the only one on the list I like because of his pro career. Of course, I was one of the the Patriots-were-my-team-because-of-Brady Patriots fans.

Jack Tatum - one of the dirtiest players ever in college and NFL.

Excellent list, well done.  David Boston as a captain makes me really happy.  Like, that's absolutely perfect.  

On defense, I would have picked a Bosa, but I'm not arguing.  There are no wrong answers here.
I think Seth had the joke a few years ago where under the picture of a Bosa it said something like "this is what it would look like if every single OSU fan was combined."

Randy Gradishar was a Class A jerk.

Tressel is at or near the top of the overall list for me.  He pulled so many shenanigans, and also played out the dopey sweater vest wearing choir boy act while running a filthy program.  Influenced Dantonio and probably helped him prep for Michigan.  Just an all around asshole and now that I'm writing all this, I really hate that guy.

I would also swap in Dwayne Haskins and leave out JT Barrett.  JT beat Michigan, but he always seemed like one of the good guys in general.  He sacrificed his body to the actual villains on this list.

Hard to think of anyone as a villain if a putz like Connor Stalions can cause their entire world to unravel. 

Troy Smith because he took down one of our best teams ever and won the Heisman because of it and it all rested on a controversial targeting call. 

Have to throw Eddie George on there, for participating in the "egregious violations" and "immediate action must be taken" parade in the news. 

I would reverse the order on the 3 coaches. Have to think about the players some more. Yours is a good list though. Would have to find a spot on the O-line for John Hicks who led the charge to "tear down the coveted M-Club banner."

PS Joey Galloway said he would move Mich down to 5th because they don't pass the eye test.

Cardale Jones said Mich is a bunch of cheaters and parents shouldn't let their sons go there and that NCAA should drop a much bigger hammer on them.

I remember seeing Gohlston warming up without pads, a supposed 20 year old kid ripped like a 10 year NFL veteran.  In fact OSU's entire team then looked way different than Michigan's kids I knew then OSU was using PED's just like MSU.

But hamburgers, video.

Maybe replace Day with Tressel - Day is more like the waterboy, or MILK boy

Your list fails to include the most villainous Buckeye MGoPoster.

I have a big gripe with putting Ryan Day as the 2nd assistant. You have to either go Tressel or Bruce. One could also make an argument for Paul Brown (YTPB) or Carroll Widdoes, but my money is on Tressel since he has the higher winning % over Bruce and a Championship (something Day doesn't have).

Underrated one I'd say Carlos Hyde. I have PTSD from watching him just getting the ball and run over the defense
