February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend819 viewsBengals fan and MU alum Dan Plettner not only had the opportunity to attend the Hall of Fame Induction Dinner last Saturday, but also the opportunity to meet and chat with Big Ben.
He was kind enough to share his story with us:
I had a splendid experience at Ben Roethlisberger’s Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Dinner on Saturday evening. Ben was inducted alongside his posthumous coach, Terry Hoeppner. Ben’s emotions and words were a great tribute to Coach Hoeppner.
I had brought a football for which I frankly am still working toward a decent historical knowledge. I went up to Ben shortly before dinner and told him I had something I thought he might like to see. He smiled immediately as he saw the Redhawks logo on the ball’s finish and then he began examining the ball pretty closely.
I am still uncertain whether the football was actually used in practice and/or games… and whether it was definitively ever touched by Ben in 2003, but I loved the ball 10 times more the moment Ben remarked about the ball to the effect, “this ball has a lot of history.†Another former player at the event informed that the ball was a new model/style in ’03.
I enjoyed a normal conversation with “Big Ben†and he seemed to find my challenge of being a proud Miami alum simultaneous with being a Bengals fan pretty humorous. After talking, when I informed him that I’d be honored if he choose to sign the ball he graciously reached for my pen and took his time to choose a place to autograph it. After thanking him, I felt like a little kid and discretely walked the football around the perimeter of the room (rather than taking a direct route back to my table) so as not to “open the floodgates†for others to approach and ask for his autograph just before the dinner commenced.
Later, listening to the speeches from Ben (which truely honored Terry Hoeppner) and Terry’s wife really fully made me appreciate my good fortune for observing a special night in the history at Miami University.
It also helped me to appreciate Ben on a level different from what I’ve seen during his playing career. Ben showcased humor as a nice compliment to heartfelt emotions, even joking about a fictitious “Brian†who had been accidentally introduced (instead of Ben).
Ben, if you ever happen to read this: thank you for helping me to cherish your contribution to Miami University Athletics.
Best Always,
Dan Plettner

Chad & Jennifer Pointer, June 29, 2012805 views"We were married in West Palm Beach, Florida, the same place I proposed a year before. We then had our reception back home in Indiana - even entered the room to 'Renegade' playing. We try to make it 4 or 5 games a year although its a 500-mile drive from my driveway to Heinz and we have to be back at work on those Mondays." -- Chad Pointer

Chad & Jennifer Pointer, June 29, 2012801 viewsThe Pointer's Steelers-themed wedding included a Steelers wedding cake, of course!
"Ben in my book is second to NONE from his Ironman play on the field to his K9 work off the field. Hopefully I can get Antonio to introduce me to Ben this year in Latrobe, that's like our annual trip (has been the last 3 yrs), we just haven't been lucky enough to meet him. Thanks again Go STEELERS!" -- Chad Pointer

#7's all in a row!!!795 views"Left to right in the photo is my fiancee, Kristin Nugent, followed by Mike Durcho, Jason Keim, and me...and of course our dog Daisy. This photo was taken the opening game of the season against Denver. We were doin' a little pre-gaming when we all noticed we had Ben jerseys on, and each one was different. Ben's Away, Throwback, Real Tree, and his college jersey. Of course we're all life-long Steeler fans from Johnstown, PA and we're all huge Ben fans.
"For myself, I've been waiting what seems like my whole life, for a quarterback as good as Big Ben. His toughness, leadership, and all around ability to lead the Steelers to victory is what makes Ben an easy favorite. Everyone in this photo says the same thing, when Ben is at the helm, it seem like we can't lose. We know as long as he's in the game, the Steelers got a shot to win. We are all proud members of Steeler nation, and proud fans of Ben Roethlisberger. "
