Heisman winner...

[Freak]

Fernando Mendoza.

If anyone even cares. I just happen to catch it waiting for the LA Bowl to come on.

 

[TrueOrange]

Good for him.

We’ve all been here (in this area of the country) talking about Vanderbilt this or Pavia that in most of the lead up to the award, but has Indiana ever had a Heisman winner before (let alone a finalist)?

According to Mendoza's acceptance speech this is the firt time and Indiana player has won it.

Good, glad it wasn't Vandy Boy.

Looks like he’s the second Hoosier to be a finalist (RB Anthony Thompson was also one in 1989).

Also, had no clue Jim Plunkett was of Latino descent. Learn something new everyday.

I like this kid. He's giving Kirk Cousins vibes though. Not that that's a bad thing, but I'm not sure if he has the personality to have the "it" factor at the next level.

Both his parents were also blind.

There are all kinds of oddities about Plunkett

A freaking Vanderbilt QB finishes second in the Heisman voting. My God….

 

[VolCalls]

Gus Johnson may have done just as much to boost Mendoza win as his actual play on the field. The “Give him the Heisman Trophy now!” call at the end of the Penn State game is probably the most watched/most viral highlight of the entire season.

Speaking of, the whining on Vandymania is sweet.

 

[Vol since 77]

It wasn't even close. As one of the talking heads on espn just said. "This had a lot to do with likability factor as well".

Media already salivating at the idea of awarding it to Julian Sayin next year.

This has been a weird year for college football. A very active coaching carousel, Notre Dame doesn't make a bowl, Indiana is Big 10 champ and undefeated, Vandy has a Heisman finalist, etc.

I mean, that’s not entirely accurate. They refused to play in a bowl. (Which honestly, is the worse of the two)

Hence why I no pay no attention to that award. Haven’t watched one since Peyton got screwed and couldn’t name any of the winners since then. Means about as much as the Pop Tarts Bowl to me.

Had Pavia and his people not carried themselves as they did, would he have won?

Not likely, no.

If that were such a big factor, he wouldn’t have even finished second.

Somebody said when the Pavia bros strutted in an overwhelming smell of Drakar Noir came thru the tv

What is this? Jersey Shore?

What a bunch of losers. Hanging on their brothers coattails as long as they can.

You're right, I should phrased that differently (not playing in a bowl vs. didn't make a bowl).

Well, we got Majors and Manning in second place so advantage UT?
