Let me pull a Mark Reicht...I would agree if it were a rule either way... I just hate ESPN and their influence they take credit for in the process of selecting the Winner...

He fits the Heisman mold. Great college athlete but will be warming the pine in the NFL (If he makes it that far)

There is specifically a rule that says the Heisman goes to the best player THAT SEASON. If it were a career award, sophomores wouldn't even be eligible.

I have not and will not care or watch another Heisman, New York Athletic Club, or ESPN popularity contest after the screwing given to Peyton Manning! End of the validity of the Heisman in my opinion. Now, it appears that the BCS Championship is going the same way. They have to have Ohio State, Michigan, or USC every year. Too bad they couldn't get Notre Dame in the mix!

Spin the words as you must..... taking a freshman soph year and turning it into a career... Justify what you must. You do not have to defined him with me or anybody else... he won it... ESPN made sure of that...

It is not the fact he didn't Win it it was the process that ESPN used to openly campaign for Woodson.. Back then they were also stating that the Voters listened to them and got it right...

Scoring 50 TDs and setting an SEC record for rushing touchdowns helped out a bit, too. No, you're right. It was all ESPN.

A more truthful statement has never been made. He already has one NFL strike against him, being a FLA QB. Now the Heisman solidifies his position as a clipboard holder. Who is the last Heisman winning QB to do well in the NFL other than Carson Palmer? I can't remember.

thank you and I agree...I one I have watch since the PM fiasco... Unless it is a UT Player will not watch it again. ESPN will announce or promote the winner 4 weeks before it happens....

This was the first one I had watched since PM.... (This is like a Support Group or AA msg Bd) I was excited about Mc Fadden and Tebow. I just wanted ESPN to leave it alone and not get into the middle of it...

The Tebow highlight that we missed tonight from the Show Was Tn vs FL --- "The Kiss" or the "Nibble Ear"

No real surprise that he won.
Congratulations Tebow (and LG)!

Also seems like a decent human being which seems strange considering he is a Gator.:)

Why a Gator? Spurrier years--he basically said so himself. Let's hope the Florida kids start to grow out of that UF fondness.

McFadden had a bunch of games where he did nothing. He deserved it more last year. Tebow earned it this year. I'm already worried about facing him next year in K'ville.

The Heisman should go to the best player in the country, not the one with the best stats on one of the best teams. McFadden is the best player in the country.

Living well is the best revenge, Peyton has shown everybody who the best player was in that group.

To be fair, it isn't like Woodson crashed out of the NFL and is a bum now.
