20061214 Heisman Trophy shipped home

Heisman Trophy shipped home for safety

December 14th, 2006

I found this on “Home News Tribune – News that hits home in central Jersey.”

I had heard this story before…

Apparently the “Heisman Trophy” can be considered a weapon of mass destruction, so when Ohio State Buckeye, Troy Smith won the Heisman, he was taking no chances with the airport security folks, and he shipped the Heisman Trophy home…

Well read the post below and you draw your own conclusions.

Then again, when it comes to our safety, perhaps we must err on the side of an abundance of precaution…

Troy Smith has Heisman Trophy shipped

By RUSTY MILLER, AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Troy Smith's Heisman Trophy was shipped home Tuesday to keep it safe and avoid the type of mishap that happened the last time an Ohio State player won the award.

Smith wore a black leather jacket with the Heisman insignia on back when he arrived at the airport from New York, where he was presented college football's most coveted trophy.

Eddie George, the last Buckeye to win the Heisman in 1995, had his trophy get stuck in an airport X-ray machine, losing the tip of its right index finger and bending the middle finger.
