Saint Troy Smith

domer · 12-21-2006, 12:22 PM

Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith celebrated his Heisman Trophy by dancing in the middle of the 40/40 Club following Saturday's awards ceremony; he then paid a repeat visit to Scores East Side on Monday night. The dancers hailed Smith as a generous tipper. "He will be a great pro," Scores Girl Kendall said. "He's got it. He's a natural leader. I can tell." ... While in limbo, Allen Iverson hit Atlantic City casinos and partied with friends at Jay Z's 40/40 Club there."

Scores is a strip club to those of you who don't know. I'm just tired of ESPN cannonizing Smith as some golden boy... he is what he is... I'm not condemning him for going to the club, but... ESPN should lay off the mr. perfect stuff

anyway, food for thought. flame me if you must

No flames . . . just a plate of sour grapes.

i'm not so sore that Smith has beaten Brady for the Heisman.... under the current Heisman qualifications, Troy deserved to beat Brady (just like ND deserved a BCS bowl under the current BCS rules... fair or not).

I, along with others im sure, are sick of the OSU hype machine (esp. Florida fans). I'm not buying into it. No hard feelings about the awards Troy has won =)

Some wine please. Don't think anyone in the country is under the impression Smith is a saint. Unless your an Ohio State fan.

ESPN hates UT, don't ya know (Fargo).

So we don't think that here in VN-ville.

i'll side with you on that statement for sure. I lived in tennessee for years and years... it seems like ESPN just ignores all things UT.

Before you know it we'll be subjected to a blog discussing the finer points of why Notre Dame isn't the media darling.

domer · 12-21-2006, 02:19 PM

nope, Notre Dame is the media darling. I won't deny that. I love the fact that they eat up the media. Who wouldn't?

Smith should have plenty of money to spend from what the boosters give him

No flames, but I do find it a bit ironic that a Notre Dame fan could criticize another school's "hype machine."

I would like to introduce you to someone...

How many times did the football team appear on ESPN networks this year? What networks have already shown UT basketball on national TV 5 times? Try another angle. That one makes you sound clueless. Well, strike that. Your initial post in this thread about Troy Smith did that.

how a domer could complain about the hype someone else is getting is beyond me.
