"I was nervous, I wasn’t sure how he would sound," Taliaferro said. "But he sounded remarkably well."Taliaferro’s father, Andre visited Tyson several times in the months that followed but Adam has yet to meet him. That will change this weekend when Penn State comes to town and Tyson gets a chance to see the remarkable progress Adam has made. Although Taliaferro can never play football again, he has no long-term effects from the injury. Tyson is still in a wheelchair with no lower-body movement and limited use of his arms, but he’s making small strides.
There has been a lot of bad things written about Ohio State fans both in the Blogosphere and in conventional media, but personally I was amazed at the support and caring they showed when Adam suffered his injury at the Shoe in 2000. Hopefully, Adam can repay that consideration in some small way by showing his support to one of the Buckeye’s own. We at the Nittany Line wish Tyson a speedy recovery."It’s going OK, getting a little better," Gentry said. "Nothing really that major with movement or anything. But strength is coming along a lot better, just tolerance; being able to sit upright better and everything like that."
"I just tell him it’s going to be a marathon," Taliaferro said. "Anything he gets back is better than before. It’s a long process."

Taliaferro getting hurt was terrible. However, I also recall that after Adam got hurt, and Penn State Players and coaches were visibly shaken by his injuries, the benevolent buckeyes decided to get the ball in the endzone. The game wasn't a close game either(6-45).That sticks with you.
