I enjoyed your article. We love AJ not only because of his ability, but he is also classy and gives us a good name. It's cool to see you recognise him as well.

Also, cool move referencing BP as a place to visit. Welcome to our place and bring along more intelligent fans like yourself :)

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]AJ Hawk Is the Man Because...
AJ Hawk's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
Rather than being birthed like a normal child, AJ Hawk instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew his long mane of hair.
AJ Hawk sold his soul to the devil for his 4.4 40 time and unparalleled ass-kicking ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, AJ Hawk dropkicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
AJ Hawk does not sleep. He waits.
AJ Hawk once sacked someone so hard that his mullet broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.
To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. AJ Hawk smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and acquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.
AJ Hawk is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like AJ Hawk.
If you can see AJ Hawk, he can see you. If you can't see AJ Hawk you may be only seconds away from death.
AJ Hawk lost his virginity before his dad did.
When AJ Hawk sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. AJ Hawk has not had to pay taxes ever.
AJ Hawk can make a woman climax by simply pointing at her and saying "booya".
AJ Hawk recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.
After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending AJ Hawk. His reasoning? It was more "humane".
AJ Hawk once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.
AJ Hawk once shot a Soviet plane down with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"
Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but AJ Hawk can knock his ass out and take it.
One of the greatest cover-ups of the last century was the fact that Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but was in fact tea-bagged to death by AJ Hawk.[/FONT]

O.K. I admit if I had a vote for the Heisman it would be Reggie Bush but A.J. Hawk deserves Heisman Consideration and I even POSTED THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF MY SITE.

Hawk is one of the finest linebackers in College Football History. You can read what me, A TRUE BUT RESPECTFUL ND FAN has to say on my site

Granted, what I posted has been circulating everywhere with a different name attatched to it for the longest time, I thought some of it was pretty funny. Next time I'll try to remember some of you are bitter, cynical old windbags next time I decide to share something that gave me a bit of a laugh. :wink:

Onto the topic of Hawk for Heisman... c'mon. Seriously. You're joking. I've been a Buckeye fan for as long as I can remember, and I'd love to see one win the Heisman just as much as anyone else, but for a defensive player to win it, he's got to be dominant like no one has ever been. He's got to change the game completely. Hawk is an intimidating presence, and a 1st team All-American, but not a Heisman candidate.

I havent seen anyone calling for Hawk to win the Heisman. Im sure everyone just wants him to be invited, because that would be a huge honor...

You think that there are 5-6 players in college football as consistent and good as Hawk???

Practice, not tux, suits him


Tuesday, December 06, 2005Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Over the next week, Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk will confront some of his most difficult opponents of the season.
Airports. Tuxedos. And maybe, acceptance speeches.
Starting this morning when his parents pick him up around 5 a.m., Hawk will spend seven days laboring through the spoils of his individual success. Up for four individual awards, Hawk will jet to three cities to take part in two televised awards shows and three other awards banquets. Three require tuxes, the other two suits.
Hawk's not wrapped up in winning trophies and isn't much for the black tie, small-talk, finger-sandwich circuit. What bothers him more than anything is the three, and maybe four, days of bowl practice he'll miss. The Buckeyes will begin Notre Dame study and Fiesta Bowl prep on Thursday, the day Hawk flies from Houston to Orlando.
"I'm wondering why I'm going to have to miss a couple days of practice, to tell you the truth," Hawk said. "It's an honor to be up for those awards, but I'd rather be back here with the team practicing, obviously."
Instead, his tour will move from Houston to Orlando to Newport Beach, Calif. Two of his stops are All-America team shows, one hosted by ESPN's Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit, the other by Regis Philbin.
The awards, in the order of Hawk's journey, with the other candidates:
Lombardi Award, best offensive or defensive lineman: Louisville DE Elvis Dumervil, Penn State LB Paul Posluszny, Texas DT Rod Wright.
Bednarik Award, outstanding defensive player: Posluszny, Maryland LB D'Qwell Jackson.
Butkus Award, best linebacker: Posluszny, Alabama's DeMeco Ryans.



Lott Trophy, personal character and onfield performance for defensive player: Ryans, Virginia Tech DE Darryl Tapp.
Dumervil, who led the nation with 20 sacks, and Wright, from the undefeated Longhorns, may be tough to top for the Lombardi. But Hawk was already named the Big Ten defensive player of the year, ahead of Posluszny, and might be the favorite for the other three awards.
Not that Hawk has written down any remarks if his name is called. "Hopefully if I do win, I don't have to give any speeches," Hawk said. "If I do, I'll just wing it. I've taken a couple public speaking classes."
Judy Hawk, who was frantically packing Monday, knows this isn't her son's idea of a vacation. But she and her husband, Keith, will take in enough ceremonial atmosphere for the whole family.
"A.J. just does not want to miss practice," she said. "I don't know if that's good. But he's taking this game very seriously."
Three missed practices for a natural-born linebacker who has been a star for three years won't make or break the Buckeyes bowl chances. But maybe nothing says more about Hawk than his desire to stay with his team.
"It's something I kind of have to do and I can't really get out of it," Hawk said. "I wish I could, but I can't. I know this stuff is way beyond me, way bigger than I'll ever be. But I'm not dreading it. It's an honor to be part of it."
He'll just be happier when he's back on the practice field with his teammates, out of a tux and inside a helmet, where he belongs.

I can't vouch for the veracity of the post, but a poster (carlbernstein) on BN is saying Hawk won....

HAWK WON!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got off the phone with my buddy who is one of the sports editors of the Austin-Statesman. He grew up in Ohio and is a Buckeye. He said the staff was moaning because the texas guy lost!
