WarDlowe 39 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Link It's always great to see folks who represent us well on and off the field. I remember a Saturday 2 years ago where this same kid dropped a pass that cost us the game, but remember him not avoiding reporters and handling that and every other situation I've seen him in with class. Way to go Ben. I've said it many times before and will continue to say it, I will take players like this in a program run the way ours is any day over a 13-0 season. These are the things that really matter in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,078 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Ben is a class individual, a great student and a great football player. All of the Auburn Nation should be proud of him. I would also say that Ben stepped up like a man after dropping the potential game winning TD pass in the end zone in the 2003 Ole Miss game. He has been a steady, solid go to type receiver since then. Here's to Ben O!!! War Eagle, Bud!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR EAGLE!!! 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Classic quote from my dad about Ben... It was 2003 against USC and Auburn had just used a time out before a crucial 3rd and long play. During the time out, the announcer was announing over the loud speakers at Jordan Hare about Ben winning "Scholarship Athlete of the Week" or something like that. He gave all of Ben's accomplishments including that he had something like a 3.8 GPA in his classes. After the time out, Campell threw about a 20 yard strike to Ben along the sideline, which would have reulted in a first down at about the USC 25 yard line...Ben dropped the ball...my dad turned to me and said..."I would have taken a 3.5 GPA and a reception on that play". It doesn't sound near as funny now that I am typing but it was a good one liner at the time. I also do not want to erase now that I have wasted 5 minutes at work to type...... Oh yeah...Congrats BEN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
