SportsNation Buzzmaster: Aaron Ross is here!

Timothy (Orlando): Is there another player there tonight that you are looking forward to talking to?

 Aaron Ross: Yeah, Troy. I felt like me and Troy had a nice little connection during the game. He looked at my side and smiled. He would smile and I smiled back. We exchanged phone numbers. I'm sure we'll hang out tonight later on.

Dan: Aaron, who do you want? OSU or Florida

 Aaron Ross: I would be voting for Texas. But I like Troy Smith. I respect him as a football player. They beat us, so I would have to to with Ohio State.

Gordon ( South Bend, IN): For anyone. Do you think awards should be given with an eye cast towards total career achievements or should they be based solely on this season?

 Aaron Ross: I think the season. Like myself, this is my first year starting. I haven't had a chance to have a great career, like Leon Hall. If you look at his career numbers compared to mine, his is better. I feel like the award should go to the best d-back that year.

Kevin (Dallas): What do you think about Jevan transferring?

 Aaron Ross: Jevan was a great guy. I wish him the best in whatever decision he makes. Whoever gets him, they have a great QB coming into their program. But with Colt playing so well, you can't do anything but respect his decision.

Nate (mich): Yo Aaron been able to see any of Vince's highlights lately

 Aaron Ross: I was watching last night. It seems like the game is slowing down for him. I think we'll be seeing more of that from him. He's about to make the highlight reel real soon.

Eric (Perrysburg, Ohio): Ever have any impulses to get back out there and catch a few TD's?

 Aaron Ross: Oh yeah. All the time I ask my offensive coordinator and DB coach if I can play receiver. The coordinator says yes, but the DB coach says no. I wish I could play offense sometimes.

Dylan (Austin, Tx): Aaron, one day when you are in the NFL what team would you what to play for?

 Aaron Ross: Whichever team gives me the most money! (laughs) It doesn't matter to me. There are so many players that have the ability to play but don't get picked up. So whichever team decides to pick me up.

Ryan (cleveland): whos the best reciever youve had to face this year?

 Aaron Ross: Teddy. Teddy Ginn. Last year I just felt like he was a speedy receiver that can get past you. But this year, he can do it all. You've got to respect his speed. With Troy Smith back there as QB, that's a tough combination. But it's a close race with him and Jarrett. He's a nice receiver.

Brian (Maryville IL): What was it like playing against such speedsters as Ginn and Gonzalez?

 Aaron Ross: I didn't get to play against Gonzalez. I was matched up with Ginn. He's a speedster.

Brandon (NJ ): how badly did colt's injury really affect the outcome of the KSU game

 Aaron Ross: I think it changed the momentum of the offense quite a bit. Colt is our leader. He's our QB. In practice, he gets the huddle together and the offense revolves around him. Losing your QB changes the flow of the game. It also changes the defense, because the offense isn't flowing as well. It threw it off quite a bit. K-State came to play. Their QB was money on every ball he threw.

SportsNation Buzzmaster: Thanks to Aaron!

SportsNation Buzzmaster: He's got a big ol' chain around his neck. He's a cool dude.

SportsNation Buzzmaster: He told me that he was really hoping for another shot at Ohio State, because he thought they would have given them a better game after getting some experience throughout the season.

KSU game would have had a different result if Ross had stepped up in that game, but losing Colt as a team leader clearly affected both Offense and Defense that day.

WVU's Dan Mozes wins it.  But Lyle should have at least been a finalist.

"In addition to winning the Thorpe Award, both Ross and Texas OL Justin Blalock were named first-team All-Americans by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. DE Tim Crowder and S Michael Griffin earned second-team All-America honors from the WCFF. Blalock also was recognized as a finalist for the Outland Trophy, which is presented to the nation's best interior lineman, at the College Football Awards. Earlier this week, Blalock was honored as a finalist for the Lombardi Award (nation's top lineman)."
