At least the A&M faithful get a good home schedule, but they might have more wins on the road than at home in the SEC next year.

Won't affect football, though. That said, it'll make things even tougher for the sports that already struggle.Quote:

well,..late summer , I said i didnt know anything about Baylor or them having a good QB , and steelerfan said, "youshould, he's pretty/very good "...watched him this year and he obviously was LOL.....forever, the story of the Super man socks will be told
...what is a manly thing like the Heisman doing with a female trustee making the announcement ? this isnt sexist in any way LOL..this is a mans sports club, i have no problem with her being there, but they still should have had a male presenter.
LOL whats your problem dude, a player on a team that wont be in the top 5-6 won the trophy, it usually goes to teams that win more. This was a cool thing as far as i'm concerned!Quote:

The Heisman is a pageant like anything else, and maybe, just maybe if a couple of the other guys were a little more literate it might have helped them LOL every thing is a political beauty pageant on some level, but this year, the right man won for all the right reasons..at least as far as I'm concerned on the superficial tv screenQuote:

The dude has TERRIBLE mechanics throwing the ball and his accuracy is negligible to say the least. The dude plays in an Air Raid offense. Of course his numbers are going to look gaudy and he's going to have a high completion percentage. But, the fact of the matter is this, his numbers AREN'T gaudy looking when compared to other players up for the award. Monte Ball's rushing numbers were RIDICULOUS this year and nearly broke the NCAA record for rushing TDs (set by Barry Sanders - who, btw, won the Heisman that year in an absolute landslide), yet he was an afterthought because ESPN already decided that Griffin was going to win the award.Quote:

It's tainted, just like everything else about college football. It's all a big pile of bullshit.
Yep, Trent Richardson knew his chances were fucked when CBS was talking with all 5 of the guys at halftime of the Army-Navy game. He specifically mentioned the fact that he wasn't playing last week, while you had Mathieu, Ball and RG3 all playing last week, so those players were fresh in the minds of voters, while it had been two weeks since voters had seen him play, so he knew the potential "out of sight, out of mind" mentality might come into play.
Barry set it in fewer games (12), averaged a full yard per carry better than Ball (7.6 to 6.4), got over 1,100 yards more, and actually had 44 touchdowns in 12 games, 42 of which were rushing. I think Barry could have had half the TDs he did, maybe even less (look at Archie Griffin's 12 in his first Heisman season), and still received the award.Quote:

Not to mention that he didn't even carry the SEC region of voting.Quote:

LOL
I'm glad Griffin won. He was easily the most exciting player to watch this season. I'll never complain when a team like Baylor has an award winner.
Griffin was spectacular in the couple of full games of his I watched (TCU and OU come to mind).
