Nothing gets Buckeye fans more excited than a good remake.
Rebooting beloved classics during football season is one of our most prized customs. Consider this enticing pitch: Tommy Eichenberg, starring as the next Chris Spielman.
That casting tracks with reality – both guys are starting middle linebackers from Northeast Ohio. Tommy's an inch taller while Chris was about 15lbs heavier – hey, close enough for the audience to believe it. Relentless effort. Similar complexions.
This script was greenlit, and 268 tackles later Eichenberg is now in an exclusive club of Ohio State linebackers who are definitely not Chris Spielman.
