However, what makes this stry particularly sad is that he has a wife and five children, including twins. Imagine the wonderful life that could have been enjoyed but also imagine the future difficulties of Jeremiah and his family. We must keep our eye single to glory of being our best. We cannot lose focus, even for an instant. <br><br>Steve Bellisari had started as quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes for 31 straight games. The 2001 season was going fairly well, with two games left. They were to play Illinois and Michigan on their opponents fields. If they could win them, Ohio State could be conference champions (tied, but the winning representative). So, if there was ever a time to hunker down in a career and be focused, this was it. <br>In the early Friday morning hours, the day before the Illinois game, Steve was arrested and charged with two DUI counts. He failed three roadside sobriety tests and his blood-alcohol level was 0.22 percent. That s more than twice the limit at which an Ohio driver is presumed to be drunk, almost three times in some other states. Steve was facing three to six days in jail. It seemed so simple.

I want to apologize to the university, my coaches, our great family and especially my teammates for my behavior. I let everyone down by my actions, and for that I am extremely sorry.

What should be done? Kick him off permanently? Or, don t worry about it? Let the court do its thing but let your QB play for Illinois and then the career-making game against Michigan? There were a number of options from which to choose. Many, many eyes were watching. I really admire the decision Coach Tressel made. I believe it to be a veryday to pray and to thank God for his blessings and family.  I try to read the Bible, said Kevin,  at least once a month to gain inspiration. <br>Sports, of course, plays a big part in4,-NyX>=e as well. He says,  take dvantage of what sports gives you, whether it be an education or the disciplines of life. Sports can help in so many ways, if you just let it. <br>Many thought Kevin Faulk might go pro this season but he pleasantly surp
