QB CJ Stroud (All B1G, 2022 B1G QB of the Year, All-American, NFL OROY, Houston Texans)

Great job CJ! Felt so good to see him trounce Harbaugh...obviously wish that would have happened while at Columbus, but it healed my heart a little bit to see that pay back. Rooting for Houston to go all the way with CJ since my team sucks and didn't make the playoffs.
plus, four completions to cade stover…

Read that Arch Manning reported that CJ won playoff games in his first two years in the league, he's "Two for Two", and noted that he didn't win a playoff game until his sixth year. Like the stock market, 'past performance doesn't mean same performance going forward' or such, (I paraphrased), but do believe that as long as CJ has a supporting cast (especially an OL that gives him time), he'll continue to do well. and relative to the above, relish each and every win of a Buckeye player against the Chargers and Harbaugh.

Not to discount anything, but one playoff win was against the Browns. Does that actually count?
(Seriously, that's impressive for Stroud. It's a team game, but QB is very key and his play shouldn't be discounted - not that anyone was discounting him. Only 3-4 of 16 teams, or 6-8 of 32 teams, will win a playoff game in any given season.)

C.J. IS CRYING, I'M CRYING, WE'RE ALL CRYING. C.J. Stroud fulfilled the wish of a very deserving Houston Texans fan.

John Sperring, a 12-year-old, went through a bigger health crisis in the first weeks of his life than some will experience in the entirety of theirs. Right before his parents were going to take him home from the hospital after his birth, a nurse noticed an anomaly with his heart and summoned a cardiologist.

John was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The left side of his heart had not developed properly and wasn't pumping enough blood to the rest of his body. Through an emergency open-heart surgery, by some miracle, he survived. His chest is still cracked open.

After several more surgeries, John is living a happy life, but may still need a heart transplant for his long-term survival. Despite his great love for sports, his heart condition prevents him from playing. But for a day, he was a Houston Texan. And Stroud made sure he was that day's most important one.


Despite hailing from Dallas, John's view of Houston's NRG Stadium from his hospital window made him a Texans fan. His wish, though My Wish, was to meet Stroud.

After being surprised at a local gaming center that his wish would come true, John received an official invitation from the Texans to come to their stadium. Once there, he was gifted with four gift bags loaded with team gear before Stroud met him with an excited "John!"

Stroud took John on a personal tour of the stadium and through a photoshoot with he and other Texans. Then the two had a conversation on a golf cart as they were heading to Houston's practice.

"Why are you a Texans fan, bud," Stroud asked.
"From my hospital room I could see NRG," John replied.
"Oh really? That's cool man."
"Yeah, and you're a great Christian."
"Awe, thank you man, I've tried bro. I grew up, my dad was a pastor, he taught me a lot," Stroud said, getting choked up. "My guy."
Stroud extended a fist bump to John, then starting wiping his eyes. "It's gonna make me cry."
