I was just saying the same thing to a couple of my alumni friends. Obviously this is sad mostly on a personal level. But to ignore his legacy as a football player in Columbus would be a disservice as well. Dwayne was the first real QB we've had to elevate us to the level we are at. Without Dwayne, we would be in the Steve Bellisari stone age at QB. Incredible player but hell, it was Dwayne as a person that has us all torn up (see below). I think we will all remember him as a person and player, in that order, but both are remarkable.
Same. It fucking sucks and I will straight up say it, there is no tearing up for me, just a waterfall today...this just hit so hard. You watch DH basically commit when he is like 12 walking through the Woody as an innocent kid that fell in love with Ohio State like we all did. Wholesome as it gets and with the family there. Most of the time a sports celebrity dies and I say the "oh too bad, thoughts and prayers" line. This one is way beyond that, a true kick to the groin and all the way up to the heart. The only other #7's that come close were Germaine and Ginn. As much as I loved them, Dwayne just held a special place in my heart. Really hope he gets a huge tribute in the first week of September, when we unleash a pure fucking beatdown on Notre Dame in Columbus.
