QB Troy Smith (2006 Heisman Trophy Winner)

[NightmaresDad]

This is going to be a fantastic run of positives - for both Troy and all Buckeyes - between now and 1/9!

OT, but is Archie the only 2-time winner of the W. Camp also?

Archie shares that disctinction with O.J. Simpson, who won the award the first two years it was given (67/68).

Like that one time when people argued whether Smith should start over Zwick?

Good times ... good times ...

Hard to believe that ever happened at this point. :)

That article by Forde was amazing...

It just goes to show what a village can do... equally important is what type of a man a child can grow into when he doesn't give up.

Quinn "given" Maxwell Award.
If you follow the awards show you see this type of thing every year.
There is this attempt to "spread the awards out".
Our boy will get his!

Just about locks up what we already know Troy has earned. Welcome aboard Mr. Heisman. I believe that ties us with for the lead does it not?

 

[NFBuck]

Awesome. Troy is proof positive what hard work and persistence can do for you.

 

[Taosman]

Just for your info.
SC and PSU fans think Troy got jobbed!

The ticker in the bottom said (before the Maxwell award presentation) Troy won 63% of Maxwell votes. How the hell did Quinn win it... I call BS.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Even people in the audience at the award show looked puzzled.. a joke by espn just to give a nd player an award

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

Espn hates freedom and should move to Russia! :(

Maxwell Award voting is very different than most.
High school coaches are even involved.
You can "buy" a vote by joining the Maxwell Club and paying $35 a year!
Let it go............

I am very surprised he didn't win it tonight! But lets get the Heisman baby!

Not surprised at Quinn's win. ESPN was saying for days that it would "be a shame if he were to leave college football without a major award." He didn't deserve it and we all know that.

Wanna see a good definition of class? Watch Troy's reaction when he won it (claps and shows appreciation, no surprise that the camera's spend more time on him than Quinn the first few moments, looking for some controversy) and compare that to Quinn's reaction (looks at floor and shakes head, talks to mother).

I like to think that Quinn thinks that this puts him right in the Heisman chase, but we all know he gets blown out.

Quinns win only solidifies Troy's Heisman win for the very fact that I think voters wanted to "give" Quinn a trophy. Quinn has had a brilliant career but trophy's should be given out for a yearly achievement not for careers.
