Everybody’s favorite middle linebacker from Ohio State’s 2002 national championship squad did a Carson Palmer on a San Diego radio station, Monday morning.
Matt Wilhelm, now with the San Diego Chargers, was on XX Sports Radio, XEPRS 1090 AM and “The Scott and B.R. Show,” hosted by Scott Kaplan and a former Chargers’ linebacker himself, Billy Ray Smith.
Wilhelm started out by talking about his wife having a baby, playing for the Chargers and his outlook for the upcoming season, and the fact that he will be wearing a communication device inside his helmet.
But towards the end, he was asked if September 13 meant anything to him?
Wilhelm replied, “Yes, it does. It’s the day my Ohio State Buckeyes are going to fly out all the way across the country to kick the crap out of the USC Trojans!”
Rock on, Matt! Rock on!
