It's a punch to the gut seeing Troy's thread in the "Buckeye Alumni" section. A great era is officially over. Thanks for the memories, Troy!

The best of luck in the NFL. I'll still pimp the #10 jersey in tejas.

I came across a comment by some asshole in Idaho. This was a Bill Simmons chat.
Colver (Moscow, Idaho): Was Troy Smith's performance Monday night the single worst championship performance ever? Is it possible for the game to have gone worse for his potential draft stock? I mean, when the fact that he invented the 12 step drop in a game is arguably the best thing that came from his performance, I think we may be talking about a monumentally bad performance. He's a running QB who had 6 positive yards between passing and running! That's incredible. I can't wait for the Lions to draft him and turn him into a receiver.
Bill Simmons: Here's my question: Why don't we announce the Heisman winner after the bowl season? What's the point of doing it so early? Same for announcing the NFL All-Pro teams before the end of the season. What's the rush? It's like announcing the baseball MVP in mid-September. I don't get it.

Idiotic. So, had we waited until after the bowl season, who gets it instead of Troy? McFadden? Doubt it. Quinn?  Leak? He was wildly inconsistent this year. Regardless of the duck he layed on Jan. 8th, he was still the "most outstanding player" this year.

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem with this guy and many like him (especially those on the east or west coast) is that they are judging Troy by the NC championship game. If that's the only time they saw the Buckeyes play all year, of course they're not going to appreciate Troy's abilities. What's important is that those of us who follow Buckeye football know what Troy is made of and how deserving he is of the Heisman. Anyway, fans in the midwest (especially Big 10 fans) know how good Troy has been. Just ask anyone associated with TSUN.  Don't let ill-informed casual fans of the game get you down!

Tory's draft status
Just walked in from work, turned on ESPN and Mel Kiper Jr. is talking about Troy Smith and the NFL draft. Kiper said Troy is now a 4th or 5th round pick based on his horrible performance Monday in the BCS game. He went on to say that Troy was projected top 20 before that game, and now the NFL scouts were shown what everyone feared, lack of height, speed, etc. WOW!
