When a mafioso crosses the line, and has to be whacked, it is often his best friend that makes the hit.

Luke could save his job and career with a major upset over ND.

Not so fast, my friend. Luke embarrassed Marcus on his own turf when Cincy beat him.

Disrespect supersedes friendship. That can't be. Now, Marcus has to take out Luke.

All kidding aside, think of the great relationship that the two have:
-Luke helped to recruit Marcus to OSU.
-Luke was his LB coach from 2004-08.

-Luke made Marcus his DC at Cincy from 2017-20.
-Luke is the godfather of Rocco, one of Marcus's sons (it makes it twice as hard for Marcus to whack the godfather!).
-Luke has 6 kids; so does Marcus.
-The two families vacationed together at Hilton Head, SC.
-Do you get the picture? These two guys are really close.

So, what a shame it will be that Luke will be swimming with the fishes in Lake Michigan's Green Bay on Sunday night!

    Well done. One very small nit.

    It was Jim Tressel who made Marcus a GA at OSU. Marcus recalled the story of calling Tressel while driving back to Columbus after he failed his physical w/ the Colts and inquired about being a GA. Tressel told him to be in the office at 6am the following day.
