Security won't let Smith take Heisman on plane
ESPN.com news services
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Troy Smith's Heisman Trophy was shipped home because airport security would not allow the Ohio State quarterback to take it on the plane Tuesday.
Smith wore a black leather jacket with the Heisman insignia on back when he arrived at the airport from New York, where he was presented college football's most coveted trophy.
Eddie George, the last Buckeye to win the Heisman in 1995, had his trophy get stuck in an airport X-ray machine, losing the tip of its right index finger and bending the middle finger.
"We decided to have it shipped. That's much easier. How times have changed. Eddie carried it on the plane and put it in the seat next to him," sports information director Steve Snapp said.
Smith said he didn't mind.
"No, because Eddie's finger got bent," Smith said. "I don't want that to happen to mine."
Also Tuesday, Smith was named the first-team quarterback on The Associated Press' All-America team.

With my two cents, this is what I would buy...
Troy Smith will be Late First early Second round. The Browns need to draft Calvin Johnson, then an O-lineman there after.
TS will probably get picked up in the 20's by a team looking to extend their depth at QB with a decent prospect and to keep him out of the hands of others in their conference.
I think Green Bay will be looking at him hard since the death of Aaron Rodgers. Others that may look early in the draft include Buffalo (I wouldn't mind this, young good talent... McGahee, Whitner, Evans), New York Jets kinda, Oakland, KC looking for another offensive playmaker to go with L.J., Detroit (oh god no), Rams, and Seahawks

Last wkend, Paul McGuire, in one of his "analytic" stupors, opined the "tall factor" in regards to Troy, then finished his vapid utterance with, "and he doesn't have a strong arm." I just about barfed up my tomale, chips and salsa. As I gave PMcG his rightfully earned name, I recalled how TS, on the run to his left, and under pressure, threw a 55-57 yard TD pass against weasels. Then I thought maybe McG was hit'n the Wild Turkey and didn't catch the play.
