The Ohio State Buckeyes football team continues to receive awards. The Bucks had three players make the 1st team All-American squad for 2006. Ohio State was lead by Troy Smith, who was named first team quarterback.

The promising selections were two sophomores, linebacker James Laurinaitis and offensive lineman Alex Boone.

These selections show how Coach Jim Tressel continues to build his program, even during a successful season. Laurinaitis and Boone will be leaders on offense and defense next year for the Buckeyes.

Jim Tressel, the Ohio State football coach, complimented the Florida Gators and Michigan Wolverines when he chose not to vote in the final polls. Tressel stated it wouldn’t be fair for the Buckeyes to cast a vote one way or the other.

Lloyd Carr, Michigan football coach, called this move “slick” in a statement today. I have finally figured this out. LLOYD CARR IS A POOR LOSER. He’s a “bad” game day coach and “cry baby” when he loses. The University of Michigan is a successful program that’s going through some tough times against their arch rival.

Carr should be concerned about beating the USC Trojans and attracting star recruits to Michigan. Instead, he’s whining about how Tressel didn’t vote in the BCS. This is truly just another reason why Ohio State will find a way to continue beating “that team up North”.

The Ohio State Buckeyes started the awards ceremony a week early. This Saturday, Troy Smith will walk away with the Heisman Trophy. Today, James Laurinaitis, the Bucks star linebacker, won the Bronko Nagurski award for the nation’s best defensive player. This is the first time a sophomore has ever won this award.

The Buckeyes will have to stay focused on the National Championship. They’ll have a wall full of honors by the time January rolls around.
