will win because he will carry all votes west of the Miss. Colt will put up big numbers in Big 12 CG.

And as far as SECCG Ingram will be ok but his numbers can not be that good against the UF defense. Not saying Bama won’t win, but it will be our D plus Julio if we take the SEC.

Ingram is the cool popular pick at the moment, but the Heisman is very regional in voting and Ingram & Tebow will spilt the South and East while McCoy will dominate out West. I’ll just be happy if Tebow doesn’t win it.

…near the strip before the game saturday. i think it was a promotion for nissan, one the the award sponsors. i thought it very telling that it was pretty much empty and they were begging people in the street to take part. call us back when you have a crystal football.

after listening to one of the Bama offensive lineman on the radio this morning, they all seem to be more focused on going undeated and winning the SEC. Stay focused on your assignment young man!

…after we beat Florida in the SECCG, I won’t complain a bit. If McCoy wins it before we beat Texas in the BCSCG, I won’t complain a bit…and I bet Mr. Ingram won’t, either.

But we’ll both laugh…a lot….

….since the winner’s team has gone on to lose their bowl the last several years.

It’s something outside of the team’s control and should be treated as such. The whims of the media are about as random and unpredictable as the weather. If he gets it, that’s great. If not, oh well. Ingram and Saban should express gratitude, say all the right things about what an honor it is and so forth, and invoke the 24 hour rule. The next day, it’s back to work preparing for the National Championship game.

There’s no curse associated with the trophy unless the players let themselves believe there is. Just like there was no curse associated with us being on GameDay, with us being unable to win in the month of November, us having a losing season every 3 years since Stallings left, or whatever other bad streak we’ve had. You lose because your opponent is better than you on a given day. If you let winning a trophy give you a big head and affect your preparation, then your chances of losing increase. Otherwise, it is what it is a’ight, and you can reflect on it after the season is over.

Your thoughts almost mirror mine…..I do believe that the SEC CG WILL determine Heisman winner, barring McCoy turning into Keenum over the next 3 weeks….I would like to see a Heisman AND an NC, as that could certainly boost recruiting efforts in the skill positions, but I’ll take another NC over 3 Heismans….Also, Tony Dorsett won the Heisman and the NC with Pitt (over Georgia) back in 76.

of what a shitty guy his dad is. Money laundering, drugs, multiple prison sentences, evading, etc… When I listen to Mark JR talk to the media, he sounds humble and sincere. Kudos to him, and may the best man win.

but didn’t Ingram get only about 5 carries in the first half against LSU? I liked Bamagrad’s piece on passing to set up the run, but if you’re trying to get your guy Heisman votes, you certainly pound the ball with him whenever you get a chance. Obviously Saban is not concerned at all about someone getting the Heisman over winning games, and Ingram doesn’t seem to mind either – he just took the carries they gave him in the second half and got his 100+ yards anyway. Guys who win the Heisman that way won’t disappoint later on.

he just needs to get the yards per game average up over the final 3 weeks, then go for his normal 140 in a win vs Florida and it’s his.
