Got into a fight with the boys over this awhile ago on Locker Talk... here's the conversation:

Me: The answer to the trivia question is none of the above-- 7 trophies total. 6 PEOPLE (I can name them-- in chronological order-- if you want...)

badgerfan07: Please do...

Anthony E-is out: yes please do buck-i-girl?

Anthony E-is out: How many Heisman winners has OSU had all time? btw buck-i-girl that was the question..just because someone won it twice, doesn't make him another winner. he's the same winner, just a different hunk of metal.

PackersLP21: It's Heisman WINNERS. Not TROPHYS.

Esco: Wow. Easy question...

Esco: Can I name them? Whatever, I do what I want.
Howard Cassady
Troy Smith
Eddie George
Archie Griffin
Les Horvath
Vic something or other.

Me: Well, boys, according to the people who AWARD the trophy, one person winning twice counts as twice, not once... :)

http://www.heisman.com/handbook/university-winners.html

and the "something or other" from Esco is Janowicz...

In order (with year):
Les Horvath 1944
Vic Janowicz 1950
Howard Cassady 1955
Archie Griffin 1974 & '75
Eddie George 1995
Troy Smith 2006

And thus I STILL contend that the right answer to the question is "None of the Above." The correct answer is SEVEN...

:)

buck-i-girl: RIP…

How could you forget someone who has a stadium named after them. The point of naming a stadium after someone is so that they are remembered. sadness :(
