The Legends: Ohio State Buckeyes: The Men, the Deeds, the Consequences

In order for a football program to be legendary it requires that its players be legendary as well. In OSU Legends, Mark Rea writes about 50 of the most epic Ohio State football players and coaches and what made them so special. Their stats, football prowess, and most memorable moments are highlighted in 275 pages of buckeye lore. Impress your friends with your knowledge of the buckeye team and its wonderfully rich history. A true fan doesn't just wear the colors; it knows why the colors were chosen.

Mark Rea has done a remarkable job of "personally introducing" you to some of the prominent players and coaches that helped develop this great tradition. You'll learn about their childhood backgrounds and environment, their mentors and who influenced them, and why they chose to play football for the Ohio State Buckeyes. --Jack Park, Ohio State Football Analyst and Author, Commentator, The Ohio State Football Radio Network

This is one of the most thoroughly researched Ohio State football publications ever produced. After reading these stories, you'll feel like you just had fifty Buckeye Football Legends over for dinner, as well as an extended evening learning more about them! --Rex Kern, 1968 National Champion Quarterback, College Football Hall of Fame

Mark love your book. My good friend gave me a copy when he stopped in to see us and I couldn't put it down! Loved all the chapters especially the one on Sark.....always knew he never drove but not the reason behind it! Also, so glad you gave the credit to Chic. I had the good fortune of meeting him and have a picture of him standing behind Larry Zelina and in in our locker room after one of our 1968 games! I could go on and on about the marvelous job you have done and the tribute you have given to the Legends! --Rex Kern #10
