and did you see the red-zone stats they showed during the Heisman Ceremony?
What was it, something like 32 of 44 for 19 touchdowns or something ridiculous like that? That is mind boggling.

Serenity now
Oakland looking for another OT? Gallery not panning out? Or for the other side of the line?

In October I was not convinced that TS would go down as the best tOSU quarterback ever, let alone the best Big Ten QB ever. After watching TimBuck2's post on the home page, I realize I was spoiled. To see all of the great plays reminded me that I had forgotten about many of them.
Then in the last several weeks, to realize how far ahead TS was over the other 2 finalists, what can you say. The guy is the best.
While we're in the Troy Smith thankful mood, thanks to BP. What a service for fans like me. Thank you.

I never knew that he was a foster child for sometime. He seemed like he didn't have the best childhood either. I am glad that he has came this far and changed his life around. Good job Troy!

Gallery is hurt right now but that is not to say he was worth a s*** before that. He's been a major bust for them. I think they even moved him to the right side because he was getting killed on left.

Heisman
Some team from the bottom of the first is going to move up to the 15 or so spot and snake him. It will be a playoff team like the Bears or Ravens or a near miss like the Panthers or Eagles. I know there is a lot of flux on this one and there will be a lot of speculation between now and the combine and even up to the draft, but I can not see the Bears passing on him and letting him slip into round 2. He will go in the first round, no doubt about it.

Heisman
Accepted with class and never forgetting where he came from or what got him here.
In the interview he did with Fowler he talked about getting down every day and praying for humility. Just shows what amazing growth he has reached since the incident. I couldn't be more proud to have this guy represent the team we all love.
Amazing job Troy. Thank you for being a Buckeye. You will always be loved and respected by the fans you won over no matter where life takes you.

I got up at 3am to watch the Heisman ceremony. I had no doubts that Troy Smith would win but I got up and watched out of respect for what this young man has done. I don't think that his main successes have come on the field. For me, his greatest success is that he has become Troy Smith.
Troy Smith is not holy. Troy Smith is not my hero. I don't think for one moment that Troy Smith would care one way or the other if something adverse happened to me today. I don't know if the Troy Smith we see is a carefully stage managed person hiding someone with very different values and opinions than he expresses, I doubt it but I don't know, and further more, I don't care.
What causes me to respect this young man is that he has overcome a life that I understand very well. Deprived of a father, he has chosen to model himself after a foster father, Jim Tressel, and most importantly Ted Ginn Sr. Ted Ginn Sr is the best possible thing that could have happened to him because it was there and at the feet of his mother that he appears to have come to peace with himself and to respect himself and others. He appears to be a young man who is completely at peace with himself. Security with oneself is a key building block for anyone who wishes to lead others.
I know that many BP'ers do not share Smith's faith-based values but I know that all of us will have been deeply respected the humility and genuine gratitude he expressed as a result of those values.
As I watched the ceremony, my mind drifted back to the ugly days of the ESPiN attack on Ohio State. There were a lot of people on BP who argued that Smith should never step on the field again when the news of his $500 payment was made public. Many people railed against Jim Tressel and questioned his judgement in keeping Smith on the team. There weren't a lot of us who felt he should be given a chance to play ahead of Justin Zwick.
Smith's Heisman recognizes his on-field achievements but it may be a greater recognition of the incredible journey he has made to reach deep inside and make contact with the eternal values that are the source of human decency and goodwill between men. That journey speaks well of THE Ohio State University (emphasis as spoken by Smith
) and of the coaching staff, especially Jim Tressel.
A lot of people played a role in the success that we all celebrate today. This morning I celebrated over breakfast with our new dean, an African who is also an Ohio State alum. When someone on the faculty noted that he also went to Ohio State, he answered, "yes, we are Buckeyes, we are Buckeyes."
Next month, I hope we will celebrate an honor for the entire team. One thing is certain in my mind, this Heisman is not going to the head of Troy Smith. He'll be back at work in the WHAC today or tomorrow.
Today, let us all celebrate that we are Buckeyes and that one of our family has achieved this honor.
