Welcome to the Skull Session.
One more sleep.
Cam Martinez, C.J. Hicks, Carson Hinzman and Hero Kanu made Turkey Day special for some Columbus residents. That’s a real good job out of them.
Did I mention that we have one more sleep?
Have a good Friday.
BRING THAT ENERGY. Before Ohio State travels to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to battle the Wolverines in the 119th edition of The Game, Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith had some words to share with the Buckeyes in the Team Up North Game Trailer.
“How do you want to be remembered in a world where passion and hatred run deep in the spirit of rivalry? Football isn’t just a game, and this most certainly is not just another game,” Smith said. “Collisions of will, toughness and chaos will only elevate the undeniable test to become legend. But in the chaos, there is a bond that transcends the hatred – a brotherhood forged over decades of sacrifice, hostility and one type of love: Tough love. You may see this as just a rivalry. But no, oh no. This is a way of life.”
Ohio State needed those words this week.
In three seasons as Ohio State’s QB1, Smith accounted for 1,151 yards and seven touchdowns as the Buckeyes secured three consecutive victories over “That Team Up North” in The Game.
In the 2006 “Game of the Century,” Smith completed 29 of 41 passes for 316 yards, four touchdowns and one interception as No. 1-ranked Ohio State defeated No. 2-ranked Michigan, 42-39, in Columbus. His performance won him the Heisman Trophy over Darren McFadden (Arkansas) and Brady Quinn (Notre Dame) and sent the Buckeyes to the BCS National Championship Game.
Note: That performance came after Smith capped off Senior Day festivities with what is still one of the best celebrations I’ve seen a player do on a football field.
