    It's somewhat interesting that no Big 10 QB has ever won the Heisman, given the great history and tradition of the conference.

    Re: the so-called Heisman hex: Someone please correct me if my memory is off course. I vaguely recall that after Tim Brown won the Heisman, we got pasted by Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl, and TB did not have a very good game. I believe a member of the Aggies' kickoff team stole his towel after a KO return, and he chased the guy down to get it back.

    Brady may have another bullet to dodge.
    Chuck Long, Andre Ware, Joey Harrington..... what do they have in common? Yep high draft choice QBs who were given a ticket to pallokaville by being drafted by the Lions. Right now which team would draft first if selections were today? Yep, the God-awful Detroit Lions.

    The Lions would have their Qb if they would have been smart enough to draft Jay Cutler last year.

    I hope Brady has a tough backside if he is drafted by the Lions.
