Thirty-Six More OSU Players Declare for NFL Draft

(from MZone wire reports) - Columbus, OH - Running back Antonio Pittman and receiver Ted Ginn Jr. joined receiver Anthony Gonzalez in announcing they would skip their senior year at Ohio State to enter the NFL draft. This brings the total number of Buckeyes leaving early for the pros to 74.

Among those also declaring early were third string kicker Buck Henderson, Frank Giraldi a walk-on who never played one down in 3+ years riding the bench and Carol Sunkowski, the girl who holds coach Jim Tressel's headset cord on the sidelines during games.

"I was starting to feel bad for Michigan," said Tressel when asked about all the players leaving his team. "I mean, I've won - what is it? - five out of the last six against them? So fuck it. I told the players all to go on, get the hell out of here."

Tressel added that "just for shits and giggles, with so many positions to fill, I'm going to see if I can beat them next season with Tri-Delt president Becky Tollin as my starting quarterback and Hun Lee Kang, an exchange student from Taipei playing running back and a little defensive end. Hell, I might even throw Justin Zwick in there for a couple plays. Just kidding. Is he still here?"
