February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend2487 views“When they called me about this and said you’re going in with him [Hoeppner], it’s the only way I would have ever wanted it,” Roethlisberger said. “The only thing that would have been better is if he were here. I know he is here in spirit. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Jane Hoeppner, the wife of Terry Hoeppner, represented Terry at the ceremony and agreed with Roethlisberger.
“Ben said it best,” Hoeppner said. “When 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.”

February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend2475 viewsFrom Rick Cassano, Springfield News Sun:
Ben Roethlisberger came home Saturday and brought Terry Hoeppner with him.
Miami University introduced its 2013 Hall of Fame class during the men’s basketball game against Akron at Millett Hall, and Roethlisberger — a two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers — said he was thrilled to enter the Hall with the late Hoeppner, who recruited and coached him at MU.
“I know he is here in spirit with us,” Roethlisberger said. “Going in with Coach Hep, it couldn’t get any better.”
Hoeppner, who died of brain cancer in 2007, was represented by his wife Jane on Saturday. She said it was an emotional day that was capped with the induction ceremony.
“When I was given the announcement that Terry was going to be put into the Hall of Fame and Ben at the same time, it was perfect,” Hoeppner said. “It was as it should be.
“Terry was an example of someone who was so good at what he did. He was successful as a coach, but he was also successful at how he lived it out and how he chose to go about his business. He wanted to do it the right way.”

February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend2466 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!!"
