James did a fan chat on ESPN today and the transcript has been posted online.

Here are a few highlights:

Mark (Defiance, OH): What are you most proud of from your time as a Buckeye? Being the only class to beat Michigan 4 times, or getting to 2 straight National Championships?

SportsNation James Laurinaitis: I’d say being the only class to beat Michigan that many times–you can’t plan that, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. That’s something I’m definitely proud of.

Nice.

John (Westerville, Ohio): JL Thanks for being such a great ambassador for Ohio State. I have an important question. Will you say “Theee” before Ohio State in your NFL TV player introduction?

SportsNation James Laurinaitis: Definitely! That’s something I think that, when you come here, you wait to say it until you’re done at Ohio State. You don’t say it while you’re there, but once you get out, you’re proud to be able to say it. I’ll definitely say it before introductions.

Gotta represent!

Jonathan (Westerville, Ohio): What’s your best memory of Columbus and Ohio State in your four years as a Buckeye and would coach Tressel ever allow you to wear make-up like your father during an OSU game?

SportsNation James Laurinaitis: When we get introduced, or when you make a tackle, some kind of animation comes on the scoreboard, and I wanted to wear my dad’s shoulderpads in that, but I never worked up the guts to ask Coach Tressel. Football wise, the 1-2 game vs. Michigan sophomore year. Non-football wise, the oval, because a lot of the females like to lay out there in the sun as we walk to class.

Sorry, I couldn’t give a head’s up. I didn’t know until it was already finished!
