Known Bernie and his family since he was a kid. Played at Boardman High School and dreamed about playing at Ohio State from the time he was a kid. Earle Bruce never offered as Bernie didn’t look the part so a Ytown businessman and UM alum contacted Howard and that’s the story. Jimmy signed another Boardman kid in 88, Jason Marucci to play fullback. Bernie had a brilliant football mind.Bernie is from my hometown is good enough. Kosar is the coolest I have even known. You could ice your beer on his arm. I was well connected during Howard's day and you knew Kosar was the man from the first moment. Howard redhirted him for year to mature physical -- mentally he was ready first day even with Kelly on the field. Kelly was better physical qb(Best ever at The U) than Bernie but Bernie had ice water in veins, liquid cooled super computer upstairs and he IT factor.
