Guess This Quote of the Weekend
No googling. My last TNIV goes to the winner. Here it is:
No right answers yet, but a couple of you are just stunningly close. Well actually, one of you is stunningly close, and another couldn't possibly be more wrong if you tried, but you're so wrong that you kinda seem close, if that makes any sense.
Congrats to Greg. Jim Tressel is correct. He quoted Proverbs 18:12 at the Heisman Trophy presentation ceremony in response to the question, "What have you learned from Troy Smith?"
Oddly enought, I would have actually known that since I was glued to the TV during the Heisman presentation. But I haven't read your blog in about a week - sorry Ben!
Ok, call me blonde, but was that note about the correct answer not being Solomon there from the beginning? 'Cause if so, my answer looks really dumb. I wish I could blame my failing eyesight, but last visit to optomotrist said everything is good. There goes my rule about only commenting on blogs if I have something REALLY good to say!
George Washington

You're all wrong, but I think Andy and Scott are closer than g-harmony.
ReplyDeleteMahaney is probably the best guess, but that's a matter of opinion.
Just to clarify though, the quote was made this weekend.
Proverbs 18:12 NIV
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, I'm pretty sure I'm off on the date :)
ReplyDeleteDonette,
ReplyDeleteAs difficult as it is to disagree with you, that's not the answer I'm looking for. ;-)
Ummm...
ReplyDeleteLloyd Carr hoping for better things next year?
Troy Smith to Chris Fowler
ReplyDeleteKofi Annan?

ReplyDeleteI'll post the correct answer this afternoon sometime if no one gets it.
ReplyDeleteCan I guess twice? Hillary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Greg. Jim Tressel is correct. He quoted Proverbs 18:12 at the Heisman Trophy presentation ceremony in response to the question, "What have you learned from Troy Smith?"
ReplyDeleteGood thing there's no restriction in the fine print against family winning the prize. All right if I just bring it with me next week, Greg?
ReplyDeleteThe thought had crossed my mind.
ReplyDeleteOddly enought, I would have actually known that since I was glued to the TV during the Heisman presentation. But I haven't read your blog in about a week - sorry Ben!
ReplyDeleteCertainly an appropriate reference. Troy Smith is refreshingly humble. I hope they beat Florida by 30!

ReplyDeleteDonette,
ReplyDeleteYou are no blonde, but it was there. Don't let that stop you though.
