  • Krenzel, Kern Help Local Charity by Eric Loughry
    Krenzel, Kern Help Local Charity By Eric Loughry Early in his first day as a former Ohio State quarterback, Craig Krenzel met with the last OSU signal caller before him to lead the Buckeyes to a national championship. The morning following his last game in scarlet and gray — a 35-28 win over Kansas State in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl Jan. 4 — Krenzel had breakfast with Rex Kern, who was under center when OSU defeated Southern California in the 1969 Rose Bowl to claim the 1968 national title. More than three decades would pass before the 2002 OSU team, quarterbacked by Krenzel, would win the national title with a 31-24 double-overtime win over Miami (Fla.) in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. Krenzel and Kern have been linked ever since. Kern even found his way down to the postgame interview area following OSU’s national championship win to congratulate Krenzel, who like Kern before him was the MVP of the bowl game that decided the national title. Krenzel was again the offensive MVP of the Fiesta Bowl his senior season. Hours later, he met with Kern, who had a proposition for him. Kern had an idea on how to utilize the connection between the two and showed Krenzel a print featuring both of them. The focal point is an image taken of the two together following the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. Kern asked Krenzel if he would be interested in signing, along with Kern, each limited-edition print titled “The Quarterbacks,” with an allottment of the proceeds benefiting the Miracle for Madison and Friends Fund.

  • Heisman Trivia
    Heisman Trivia HEISMAN.COM @HEISMANTROPHY 318 Did you know...? Some Facts about the Heisman Trophy • Designed by sculptor Frank Eliscu in 1934, the Heisman Trivia Trophy is modeled after Ed Smith, Eliscu’s former high school classmate and star running back for the now defunct New York University football team. • Regarding the Heisman Memorial Trophy, Frank Eliscu said, "It is not my best work but it turned out to be something like the Statue of Liberty. I always thought it was wonderful that I'll be able to leave something like this behind." Eliscu continued working until he passed away from a heart attack in 1996. • The trophy is made of cast bronze, stands 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) tall and weighs 25 pounds (11.3 kg). • The first Heisman Trophy was awarded to Chicago’s Jay Berwanger in 1935. Initially, it was known then as the Down- town Athletic Club Award. After John Heisman, the legend- ary college coach and DAC athletics director, succumbed to pneumonia in 1936, the award was renamed in his honor. • Initially, the Downtown Athletic Club Award was given to, "the best college football player, east of the Mississippi." Once the award was renamed the Heisman Trophy, the geographical limitations were removed and players of all col- leges, from coast to coast, were eligible to win the award. • In 1935 Jay Berwanger did not have any room in his home for the trophy and gave it to his Aunt. Berwanger’s aunt was not familiar with college football and did not realize that the trophy meant her nephew was the best player in college football, so she used it as an extravagant doorstop.
