I was thinking the same thing. After the apology tweet Diego made, I assumed Lee made it a condition of playing in the bowl game.If Clark Lee had any class, he would suspend him from their bowl game. Cut ties with him ASAP.
All these people mad about his reaction fail to realize they're the ones in threads like these.
30 for 30 on ‘97 Heisman on now - it’s fantastic.
Must see TV - Damn I loved being that good !www.volnation.com

The whole Heisman thing is mostly a beauty contest. How many times over the years has some big guy in the trenches been worth twice what the Heisman winner was.I was thinking the same thing. After the apology tweet Diego made, I assumed Lee made it a condition of playing in the bowl game.
Embarrassing for the Coach, but he allowed this type of attitude to exist throughout the season.
Think of the words Lee used when describing Pavia --- best player, leader, example and others. Sure he was politicking for his player, but what he failed to realize is that Pavia was down deep Pavia was all about himself. The true colors showed.
The Heisman Trophy vote is a farce because of the additional voters such as the Media Members, 870 total. Can be regionally bias, conference bias or Media bias. Media has the biggest sway and the most votes and stats really do not matter.
Did Mendoza deserve it, yes, absolutely. Sayin should not have been there as a Freshman. His time will come but the Heisman use to be about getting on the ballot first and winning it the next time. Prove yourself worthy. Not anymore.
An example is Pavia's family and the drinking problem plus the fact that Pavia made it all about him and slide in the family aspect of Vandy Boy's which was a sidebar for show. More humbling awaits him down the road
Add to the fact that Pavia seemed to have a strong relationship with Johnny Manziel which did not help, IMO.
Already cried about Vandy beating us up at home in several threads and several forums over the last several weeks.
Their qb acts like an ass and tells the voters "F" you. And our SuperDuperFans wanna take up for him and cry some more about how bad Tennessee sucked this year.
And I've got my head up my butt.
Lol. Can't make this up.
Hang on, I’ll ask my wife, a Vandy alum.You know as pompous as Vandy fans are, they hate having to hold their nose to root for this guy. He is the complete opposite of what Vandy values itself as, which is basically a slight step down from Ivy League (commonly known as part of the "Southern Ivies").
So for him to act this way, along with his brothers getting arrested around the country at games, and his mom out here dressing like a street walker, they have to absolutely hate having to root for him.
Why did Mendoza deserve it? How do you or anyone determine it? What criteria is used? The Heisman is THE WORST trophy that I can think of. It's even below the participation trophies we give kids today just for showing up.
