Some random ones that might not have come up yet ...

Ohio & Kareem Wilson beating Maryland 21-14 in College Park in Sept. 1997 ... spoiling the coaching debut of Ron Vanderlinden, who basically threw up all over himself apologizing for an embarrassing loss during his postgame presser

A year earlier, Ohio went to Northwestern and lost 28-7, but Dennis Fitzgerald nearly decapitated Brian Musso on a punt return sparking a full blow meltdown reaction from head coach Gary Barnett. Was quite entertaining.

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1996-09-22/sports/9609... Also was the first time I ever heard the phrase "Bring the wood" from Northwestern RB Darnell Autry during postgame interview.

That Grobe era was fun ... if you've never seen Kareem Wilson in action, here's his shotput throwing motion in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le3x81_qq9s

Some other notable in-person memories...

The win at Kansas in '16

The close loss at UT in '16

The 600+ rushing yard demolition at EMU in 1997 (Hammerin' Hank Ray)

Ass-whoopin' Ohio took at Marshall to end '97 (Pennington & Moss) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0fmctXeT_o

The "wow, this program is bad" loss at what was a bad (3-8) WVU team in 2001

1997 Homecoming win vs. BG .... fast-forward to basketball season when the football players sat in the stands vs. BG and just chanted "24-rip, 24-rip!"

Beating Illinois State (Grobe's 1st win) during 1995 season and tearing down the goalpost after snapping nation's longest losing streak
