May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day 2608 viewsIt’s been a big offseason for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. First he graduated from Miami University, and now he has been selected as one of six individuals to be inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame later this year.
Roethlisberger, who played at Miami from 2001-03, holds all of the school’s major passing records, including passing for 200 yards or more in all 14 games in 2003, also an NCAA record for most games in a season passing for 200 yards or more and consecutive 200 yards plus passing games.
What makes the induction really special for Roethlisberger is he is going in the same year as his former coach, the late Terry Hoeppner (photo above). Hoeppner, who died of brain cancer in June, 2007, spent 19 seasons at Miami, and was the head coach during Roethlisberger’s time at the school. Miami had a winning season each of Hoeppner’s six years as the school’s head coach (1999-2004).
“That was the biggest thing for me,†said Roethlisberger of being inducted with Hoeppner. “It’s an honor to go into the Hall of Fame, but to go in with Coach Hoeppner kind of made me tear up a bit and gave me goose bumps. To me that means more than going in myself. It will be an emotional day.â€

February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend2596 viewsBen does an on-air interview during the MU vs Akron basketball game.
Some of the highlights:
On how he feels about being inducted into the MU Athletic Hall of Fame -
"It's an awesome honor to be able to come back. I've been blessed to have my number retired, I graduated this last summer, and now to go into the Hall of Fame, it's really a neat thing to do, and it's even better to go into with Coach Hep! I know he's not here physically, but he's here in spirit and it doesn't get any better than to go in with a guy who was a mentor to me and one of the main reasons I came to this school."
On whether he knows MU's current quarterback, Zac Dysert -
"I've actually been able to establish a good relationship with him, talking to him quite a bit, just encouraging him. I know what he's going through, I know how hectic it is. I'm just being supportive and telling him, 'it will get easier, I promise'. (smiles). "
On being a new dad -
"It's really a neat thing to be a father. It's awesome!!"
