no heisman winner talk

[joevol33]

Where's the love for Marcus Mariota? I for one think he deserved it.

 

[GAVol]

It was a foregone conclusion.

 

[joevol33]

True. I figured there would be some who didn't think so though.

 

[LittleCat]

Was obvious I guess.

 

[golfballs]

Went to my high school

Go Crusaders

 

[Grand Vol]

Good for him. A well deserved award.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

The Heisman is a complete joke. All it is is a popularity contest.

 

[volger]

Best man won. I didn't think the margin was as big as it was between the winner and second place.

 

[bamawriter]

His speech was great. True class.

You went to high school in Hawaii?

 

[vols-1]

I don't really buy the hype until I see him do it in the playoff's.

 

[Shocker0]

A great player won and met all the criteria for the winner including having great class. It was nice to see. With that said, the Heisman is stupid and is way overhyped by ESPN.

 

[Dudleys87]

So tired of seeing a qb win it..

You're in luck then! Next season McKenzie will win it as a true freshman playing DT.:thumbsup:

what an original assessment

 

[onevol74]

Who cares? Completely insignificant award. Football is a team sport.

 

[Shaun1985]

Classy speech and well deserving. Hes an amazing player

 

[Shaun1985]

Who cares? Completely insignificant award. Football is a team sport.

Haha if a Tennessee guy won it, you'd be giddy

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

Serious question.
Who won?
I don't even keep up with it anymore.

I have never watched the heisman since manning was bypassed for a Db that was not the best Db or special teams player in the country. Then with the history of majors getting the shaft vs Hornung on a losing team with worse numbers, the last straw was snapped.

 

[crusse10]

if people would acknowledge that Charles Woodson is one of the greatest corners in the history of football, maybe they could stop being so damn butthurt that he edged out Manning

and there lies your problem. Its not about being a great player over the course of his career. Its about what he did that one and only year.

Majors shouldn't have won it either. Tommy McDonald or Jim Brown should have.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Manning got jobbed. Haven't cared much since then. Just saw the winner this morning on the news. I thought AC would get more votes. All in all, the Heistman is no big deal. Unless you have a player involved from your favorite school. Which we haven't, lately.

Woodson still shouldn't have won the Heisman in 1997 over Manning, but I agree that it wasn't the complete travesty some like to portray it as.
