I want you guys to pay close attention to the words on this Heisman Ballot. “As my first choice to receive the Heisman Memorial Trophy, awarded to the MOST OUTSTANDING COLLEGE PLAYER” Boy the voters really got it right this year.. *shakes head* Mark Ingram, really? You mean to tell me the voters feel he is the MOST OUTSTANDING college player this year? He isn’t even the best player on his own team. This proves to me that several voters based their decision on one game (SEC Championship Game) and that t0 many people who don’t want enough college football have a vote. Alabama fans look in the mirror and ask yourself an honest question. *If we took Mark Ingram off the Tide, would we still be undefeated*? The answer would most likely be yes. Don’t get me wrong Mark Ingram is a great player, and will be playing for someone on Sundays, but he was not the MOST OUTSTANDING player in college football this year.
Colt McCoy had a solid season this year, but his numbers were down from last year. He didn’t win the Heisman last year with better numbers, so I didn’t expect him to win this year. Nor do I feel he is the MOST OUTSTANDING player in college football this year. Tim Tebow along with Colt McCoy had great careers at the college level, but the Heisman isn’t about your body of work. Toby Gerhart, Mark Ingram, Colt McCoy, and Tim Tebow, all great players in their own right, but the voters got it wrong this year. This years Heisman should have gone to a defensive player!
Ndamukong Suh was the MOST OUTSTANDING player in college football this year. There are only two reasons he didn’t win this year in my opinion.
1. He is a defensive player, and apparently the Heisman can only be given to offensive players. Yes Charles Woodson won the award in 1997 but he played defense, offense, and was a part of special teams. He was also the ONLY primarily Defensive player to ever win the award.
2. Nebraska didn’t win the Big 12 Championship. Nebraska didn’t finish the season undefeated, they are not playing in a BCS bowl game. And I’ll go ahead and say it, Nebraska doesn’t play in the SEC.
Just a random thought but I wonder who Tim Tebow voted for this year. I’d be willing to bet his vote was cast for someone in the SEC, and it wasn’t himself. If the Heisman was a beauty contest, the voters voted for a 6 ( the girl that is cool to hang out with, somewhat attractive) when they could have voted for the 10 ( smokin hot girl that is the complete package)
And while I pissing the world off blasting the Heisman voters, and Alabama’s first Heisman winner I’ll go ahead and throw this out there as well. College football needs a playoff system. Perhaps someday the BCS and college football will remember that college football is a sport, and not a business. They claim the BCS is only designed to put the number one team and number two team together, but we all know that is a load of crap. The powers that be pick teams for the BCS bowl games based on who has the best traveling fan base. It all comes down to the all mighty dollar. How do you determine a true number one in the country without some sort of playoff system? You leave it up to the voters, and we see how well the voters did when asked to vote on a Heisman winner.

Individual awards mean nothing to me as a fan; the game is all that matters. Now please wake me when there is a playoff.
Note to Ick: Marketing division has insisted the editor add Tiger Woods updates in every post. It is shown to increase site traffic by 41.4%.
In addition, the makers of Ambien have offered us a viral marketing contract if we make sure to include product attention in all Tiger Woods Updates as an unofficial Tiger endorsement so long as the side effects are not posted.

That will be marked into consideration for *Comment Of The Year* Award. I love it when genius comes to the comment section of a post. :clap:
By the way the Comment Of The Year award is handed out on the first day of January, and is not voted on but decided on by ME!

Seriously though, Ambien will be the new trend in drugs to take while having sex due to the publicity it is receiving.

What gets the morons who run the BCS (Big Conference Showdown) is the fact that they don’t say it’s THE national championship, only the BCS championship. All you have to do to participate is to ante up (heavily) at their table. As for the Heisman, my vote still goes to Colt. Yes, the boy named Suh is the best at what he does, but playing defensive lineman doesn’t require all the different decisions that playing QB does. I agree that a lot of the voters probably based their decision on the conference championship games, but only the SEC lovers and ESPN have professed to the world that Florida’s defense was outstanding. We’ll see how the hold up to Cincy’s wide open offense. I bet the Bearcats put 30 on them!! I’ve said it many times before, and it holds true today…Opinions are just like assholes; everybody’s got one! Too bad the Heisman revolves around the predetermined conceptions put forth by a biased media.
