You beat the most storied and successful football programs in the history of college football, their success dont make them bad people,enjoy your victory
As a big Oklahoma Sooner fan i should say congrats im so happy for that young man and for the fans and the state of west virginia.However its classless and shows possible retardation to call the sooners bad, they have class the team is full of guys just like this young man trying to make their mothers proud and learn lessons in life...dont be stupid..
It's guys like Owen that embody what a football player should be. I luckily got a pack of cards sent to me, and Schmitt's card was autographed. Schmitt may never be in the same breath as a Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady, but no one in today's game aside from maybe Ray Lewis can compare in the kind of relentless mentality Schmitt possesses. I'm from Louisiana, and WVA folks, I love y'all to death. They knock us down, but we get right back up.
same here. I remember watching this with my mom and me and her sat there and cried while we were watching it. I'm proud to be a west virginian and proud to be a mountaineer.
i, as a Seahawks fan, totally agree. I think both him and Justin Forsett ned to get a lot more carries. Owen wouldn't put it on the ground on the 10 yard line like Justin Griffith did. Against Detroit of all teams as well.
The rest of the United States can have the Miracle on Ice as their favorite sports moment, but for all of us West Virginians, this moment is our favorite.
that's why espn hates us.we constantly prove them wrong and they hate it.you think they would say there were wrong about that game?no way!!!lthey will televise BCS games soon.that will be the worst thing because they will go out of their way to put a BIG 10 team in that game,or OKLAHOMA.i love college football but ESPN is no good unless they are televising regular season games.peace to west virginia and owen."i was watching espn today and........."
owen may not have been the highest recruited, the most flashy, or the fastest player, but he plays WVU football like no one else. he never quits and plays for his team, not himself. i miss him in the ole gold and blue!
yes... retire #35 now. I'm so glad WVU had Owen Schmitt. I think it's kind of unfair how he didn't get love on the ESPN cover. Without Schmitt, that team wouldn't have been that dominating. Should have won the title that year cuz I think we were the best team in the nation. Owen, much love brother. WV will always remember how much you cared about WV, WVU, and all their fans.
We West Virginians come together like no one else. Everybody else calls us ignorant rednecks. According to jackasses on ESPN, we haven't deserved to win any of our bowl games, but here we are. The prejudice of others is our strength.
The tears flowed as soon as the question was asked, and the band kicked into Country Roads. It still chokes me up everytime.
OS is the man. He IS WVU football and what an athelete at WVU should strive to be like. His love for the state, the people, and WVU as whole will never be forgotten. You always have a home in WV. We are lucky to have a guy like you representing our state and school. OS is my favorite WVU player of all time. I say retire ol #35.
Anyone who has ever played football KNOWS how emotional it is when you play your final game....and that is why he was crying, all that blood, sweat, sacrifice you go through, and then it is all over, that chapter ends in your life at that exact moment. It is hard to explain...
as many of you people that down our state owen is one of the few who appreciate west virginia and know its true beauty if only u had one more year owen! i'm glad i got to meet you! i wish we could hang again but your pro now.. just hit me up you know the myspace tell your mom i said hi and i wish here and you the best in life love you guys.
you cant be serious...hes a nice guy, sure but he is NOT aggressive and thats what we need.....his play calls suck and he doesnt manage time......he cost us any chance of winning against pitt when there was 2 minutes left....we knew pitt would at least get a field goal but he decided to not let them score for some reason....if they would have just scored, we could have got the ball back and had some clock to work with.....this man is not a head coach..just a nice guy
not a lifetime contract but for about a few more years. what they need to do is fire offensive coordinator jeff mullen for calling crap plays especially to that gay loss against gay armpitt panthers
I have always been proud to be a West Virginian, but I have never held my head higher than I did on the night that I watched this game and heard this interview.
Come back and see us Owen!!! I would love to see him come back after his NFL career is over and do some coaching for WVU. I've been watching WVU football since Jeff Hostetler and we have had a lot of great players. Owen is my favorite. Not because he's a maniac or because he eats cardboard lol. Just because he was the key to the best Mountaineer offense in school history and he never stopped playing. I knew that he was special the first time i saw him dragging Maryland players down the field.
Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true ok, siriously do it
This was probably one of the best football games if not the best I've ever seen in my life. I'm from West Virginia and I don't think many people thought we had a chance of winning after Rich left but we sure did it. Now I'm sure Rich is sorry because Michigan lost while West Virgina won this season.
I watch this video clip everymorning, seems crazy but I love it. Makes me proud to be a Mountaineer. It is always an all nighter when watching the games over here in Iraq, but I would do it no matter what to just get a glimpse of a WVU football game. Go Mountaineers !!!!
When I watch this 40 years from now, I'll still get tears in my eyes. However lucky he feels to have played for us, we were luckier by far to have him.
Simply AWESOME...looking forward to this year but it definitely ain't gonna be the same without the big guy...he's way talented but above that...he's' got heart...
Owen is going to be blocking for Julius Jones man he is going to have lots of big holes, after Schmitt pile drives the guys out of Jones way. Goooooo Schmitt
I can remember watching this interview after the game, and when Owen Schmitt's eyes started to water, I knew what was coming. I cried also, because he was such a great player for WVU's program and this was his final game. This interview is the kind of thing that can make even the greatest Mountaineer fan shed tears. The pride of the old gold and blue lives on!
Schmitt happens to the Hawks, go Owen Run all over them and brake some masks and dreams of your opponents out there. This new Hawk fan in Florida will be routing for you. The Legend continues on in the West.
"Willis took Tanard Jackson's or Laron Landry's DROY trophy."
You can't be serious.
Laron Ladry is a stud and a freak of nature, but so is Patrick Willis. Patrick Willis came into the league and played better than any other linebacker in the league, as a rookie.
Owen Schmitt Welcome to the Seahawks . You are what we are looking for a guy who will play his heart out .justa look over the message baords , you will be a fan favorite on both coasts.
This walk on is a 5 star skilled player and 10 stars for character and passion for the game. Big hearted lug. He thought he was to small to play here and know his a Titan amongst men.
I'd love to see Tampa Bay draft him, if he can show the fans he runs as hard as Mike Alstott, he will be immortalized here and loved beyond comprehension, Buc fans love those that run with passion, and I'm sure the A-Train wouldn't mind giving a few pointers to say the least! He's got the goods!
Since Mike Alstott retired this year, what a great way to instill the same type of bruising, punishing style of back by drafting Owen Schmitt, here's hoping they do!
This is the kind of player you want as your wingman, not some me me player with way to much ego. Ill take passion for the game. All heart and skill. Owen I hope to see you on sundays. Who ever drafts my favorite player has a new fan.
Still remember the 2005 WVU-Maryland game, calling my buddy and screaming "Who the F is Owen Schmitt!" after he busted a 34 yd run up the middle. Has been my favorite WVU player since and always will be.
you guys have no idea how sweet this man is.... he stays about an hour after each home game just signing autographs... once i saw him switch hats with a little boy b/c the little boys hat was to dark to see the ink... he always brought laughs to the training room.. and he made fun of himself often... i can't imagine how boring the football athletic training room will be without him next year..... go WVU!!!!
i completely agree. west by god virginia is a beautiful and pure state unlike any other. every day is a great day to be a mountaineer and to hear someone like owen schmitt - a beast on the field and a sweetheart off - talk like this about our state means far more to me than i can explain with words.
we'll miss you owen, thank you for everything and good luck. you meant the world to us.
this is by far the greatest speech that i have ever heard any athlete give after a game, owen schmitt is a beast and a good guy, i hope the browns get a chance at him
The greatest man on 2 fuckin feet...Owen Schmitt, i cried like a little bitch when i was watching this i swear, you are the face of WV football man, you represent what we are about man, you r fucking awesome man, thanks for everything...you are the face of WV football...always will be...
OU the most overrated program!!! I hope they never have to play PITT@!@!!! LOL Maybe they can re-recruit the looser BOZE and put some more wins on the looser University of there!!
I'm a Pitt fan and as much as I hate WVU you gotta love the way Owen Schmitt plays the game of football. Heart, intensity, and leadership. Respect.

you guys have no idea how sweet this man is.... he stays about an hour after each home game just signing autographs... once i saw him switch hats with a little boy b/c the little boys hat was to dark to see the ink... he always brought laughs to the training room.. and he made fun of himself often... i can't imagine how boring the football athletic training room will be without him next year..... go WVU!!!!

Owen will be missed. WVU's success wasn't because of a coach, it was because of the heart of the players like Owen.

i completely agree. west by god virginia is a beautiful and pure state unlike any other. every day is a great day to be a mountaineer and to hear someone like owen schmitt - a beast on the field and a sweetheart off - talk like this about our state means far more to me than i can explain with words.
we'll miss you owen, thank you for everything and good luck. you meant the world to us.
