    Archie is a terrific human being and a great ambassador for The Ohio State University!

    Archie has been a great representative of Ohio State, College Football and the Heisman.

    After the last two Heisman winners, I've lost faith in the voters to do the right thing. At least Mariota is considered a good kid off the field.

    Great article. Great man.

    Marcus Mariota wins the Heisman with a near record vote. I think not only is Marcus a deserving winner but all indications are that Marcus also has the high character you would like from a Heisman winner.

    They sure did. Now I'm counting on him to gut FSU like a fish.

    we didn't get home until right as they announced it and he was going around shaking hands with the past winners. The thing that really struck me was how much bigger he was than Tebow. We all noticed it and spent the next hour reading up on the web about player's height (which is some mind boggling, inane reading btw) . It appears there is some discussion that Tebow is closer to 6'1" than his listed 6'3" but he's such a physical specimen that he just looks bigger. Mariota looks like a kid out there but he's every inch of 6'4". For some reason, I thought he was much smaller. That's a big dude.

    George, that's too general for me.

    I'm hoping it goes something like this:
    (with FSU being the seal, of course!)
