Evening.
After a late train, I finally have arrived at the Hard Rock, grabbed a quick bite and fired up the lap top. I thought my problems ended with the rail road. But wait, there’s wireless network problems. It’s not just me. There are a lot of angry, on-the-edge reporters in the room. Yet there are others, like Newsday’s Erik Boland, who are on cruise control…someone help me.
On the menu: standard apps, salad, ziti, chicken, pork, beef, asparagus. There’s also a full bar, but I’m sticking to the water. They do it right for the Heisman. That and the BCS games are about the best food a college football reporter will find.
The scene is a much more mellow this year. I was talking to Boland and he brought up the good point that nobody from Ohio State is here.
The buzz for Troy Smith last year was unbelievable. There were fans packed in the lobby of the Hard Rock and all throughout Times Square just to cheer for the brief 30 seconds Troy Smith was visible.
I’m going to go try and find out what the buzz is. As of 7:40, I’m still thinking Tebow.
Hit me with questions.
