February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend2637 viewsâ€œWhen they called me about this and said youâ€™re going in with him [Hoeppner], itâ€™s the only way I would have ever wanted it,â€ Roethlisberger said. â€œThe only thing that would have been better is if he were here. I know he is here in spirit. I wouldnâ€™t want it any other way.â€

Jane Hoeppner, the wife of Terry Hoeppner, represented Terry at the ceremony and agreed with Roethlisberger.

â€œBen said it best,â€ Hoeppner said. â€œWhen I was given the announcement that Terry was going to be put into the Hall of Fame and Ben was going to be put in at the same time, it was perfect. And it was as it should be.â€

May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day3644 viewsBen poses with his wife and family.

From USA Today:

Sunday would be a fine early Mother's Day present.

"Nine years later," Roethlisberger said, "we finally got it. When I told my parents, my mom teared up."

There was never a question of not marching. This day was for the family. Audrey Roethlisberger's first reaction at seeing her grandson in a graduation gown? "It fits."

May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day5521 viewsBen poses with his wife Ashley after receiving his diploma.

From USA Today:

Roethlisbergerâ€™s autumns have been kind of busy. And something always seemed to prevent him from enrolling in time for the winter term. AFC Championship Games, for instance.

But the Steelers were quick outs against Denver the past season and the morning after the defeat, his Miami academic advisor sent him an email. Roethlisberger figured it was a note of condolence. Instead, it was a call to class.

â€œHe responded in less than 20 minutes,â€ said Melissa Chase, associate dean. â€œHe never asked for a shortcut. It was always, â€˜What do I need to do?â€™ He did everything we asked of him. I know this was always a very important goal for him.â€

What they asked of him at the end included a paper on Tibet. â€œWhich I knew nothing about,â€ he said. Analyzing the New England defense was never like this. But luckily wife Ashley, with two degrees, makes a swell study buddy. He ended up with an A, and possibly more knowledge of Tibet than any quarterback in the NFL.

"Big Ben runs over a linebacker"3424 viewsFrom the blog, "Off Tackle Empire":

Showing up late at Yager Stadium to see a Miami (OH) football game..typically doesn't pose a problem for seating. So imagine my surprise when I showed up five minutes after kickoff and saw 30,000 odd fans packing Yager for a chance to see Ben Roethlisberger and the ranked RedHawks play a night game on ESPN. Game details are sketchy in my mind (we won), but I remember one play like it was yesterday.

4th and 14, Miami is stalled around the opposing teams 35 yard line. Too close to punt, but too far to kick a field goal. Roethlisberger took the shotgun snap, avoided a blitzer, and crossed the LOS to scramble. Our section groaned, seeing a linebacker converging on Big Ben. To our surprise, the 240 lb Heisman candidate lowered his shoulder and punished the defender while his legs churned angrily. Skidding over the knocked down LB, Roethlisberger fell forward for the back breaking first down. We exploded in celebration, fueled by a feeling of surprise (he can run that fast?) and the general exuberance that envelopes college crowds.

Ben's Official Photo, 2003.3609 viewsOn Saturday, October 13, 2007, Miami of Ohio retired Ben Roethlisberger's number. It was the first time in 34 years Miami has retired a football jersey number. Ben became only the third athlete in Miami football history to have his jersey number retired, joining John Pont and Bob Hitchens.

The former RedHawk quarterback, now a star with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, led Hoeppner's 2003 club to 13 consecutive victories, a Mid-American Conference Championship, a victory in the GMAC Bowl and a No. 10 ranking in the final national polls. Roethlisberger earned Third-Team All-America honors during his record-breaking junior season and became just the third Miami player to capture the Vern Smith Award as the Mid-American Conference Most Valuable Player.

Ben holds school records for career yards (10,829) and touchdowns (84).

He was selected with the 11th overall pick in 2004 by the Pittsburgh Steelers -- the highest draft position of any Miami player in program history. Ben led the Steelers to victory in each of his first 14 NFL starts, leading Pittsburgh to the AFC Championship game and being named the NFL's Rookie of the Year. One year later he led the Steelers to a 21-10 win over Seattle in Super Bowl XL.
