Hypesman Trophy tonight

[TrentVol]

at least 4 Vols have finished #2 in Heisman voting.

Hank lauricella (compare his stats to the winner and tell me he shouldn't have won it:
1951 Heisman Trophy Voting | College Football at Sports-Reference.com)
Johnny Majors
Heath shuler
Peyton Manning.


George Cafego finished 4th in 1939

I know there's some other Vols who have been finalists but they didnt finish 2nd, if I remember correctly.

Anyone else NOT gonna watch the Heistman tonight?

Haven't since Peyton got jobbed

Johnny should have been ahead of Hornung, but Jim Brown probably should have won.

Wouldn’t have realized it was tonight if you hadn’t reminded me. ESPN thanks you

 

[G8rh8r]

The whole family is doing the tacky light 4 mile run this evening, so that’s a big nope for me. I’ll hopefully be sipping a spiked cocoa and eating a cookie by then.

 

[Special Ed]

Thanks for reminding me.
I had a feeling there was something I needed to ignore tonight.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Peyton Manning still got robbed of the Heisman.

 

[TAF]

What is this award, of which you describe??!!

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

We've got a certain person on this board that predicted we'll have 2 heistman candidates next season, he has Vol in his moniker if you'd like to guess! Shuler could have won it had he not had to play most of the season with an injured shoulder!

The biggest Heisman heist was Wooden winning over Manning, totally fueled by media who wanted to see that. Also, Hornung winning in 1956 was a total joke as well. I really don't like popularity contests and those that vote for their regional boys. Makes the validity (to me) kind of a sham. It's the kind of popularity contest that is MLB's All-Star game.

Same here. I swore that night I’d never watch that again. I haven’t.
Is that irrational of me? I’m sure it is. Don’t care, though.

 

[Elhanan]

Haven’t cared or kept up with this since they screwed Manning.

It’s a a joke of an award now and will remain so.

I'll never forget that night. When they announced Woodson, my jaw hit the floor. It still makes me mad!

Yep you're right,, my bad. Editing now.

Lol

Johnny should have been ahead of Hornung, but Jim Brown probably should have won.

Hourning only won cause he played for ND, had he been on any othe team with a losing record he wouldn’t have won.

 

[kayman1]

Who cares!!!!!!!

 

[Dudleys87]

Discriminatory trophies aren’t my thing

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

The heisTman sucks and means nothing so why watch garbage?

I'd rather watch paint dry.

VFL...GBO!!!

I see nothing irrational about walking away from something that is itself an irrational process.

 

[mercuryvol]

Useless award IMO.

Agree. Means nothing.

 

[Dudleys87]

When was the last time a winner was worth anything in the NFL?
