Five years ago last night, My Dad and I traveled to Columbus to see the Buckeyes take on the North Carolina Tar Heels. North Carolina was loaded with talent, Wayne Ellington, Tyler Hansbourgh, Ty Lawson, Danny Green, Marcus Gineyard. Ohio State was led by David Leighty. Jon Deibler, Evan Turner. The Tar Heels defeated the Buckeyes by eleven.
Also on that night, My Dad introduced me to former Ohio State and NFL QB Bobby Hoying. Two nights earlier in 2007, The Steelers hosted to the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The game went into the 4th Quarter scoreless. Early in the 4th Quarter ESPN'S Mike Tirico said: "The last NFL game to go into the 4th Quarter scoreless was in 1998, A game between the Cardinals and Eagles. The Quarterbacks in that game, Jake Plummer and Bob Hoying". I asked Mr. Hoying about that game moments later and he said "I enjoyed every second of it". I remember him saying that with a smile on his face and that gave me the impression that he was and is a super cool guy. Having the opportunity to meet a former NFL QB was a awesome experience. I'll always remember that night in Columbus.
