cause of all these douchie articles. He really is a egomaniac and a total prick. I use to find some of his stuff funny but sheesh I have a hard time reading anything from such a huge slUT fan.

They do that to remove the homerism that is evident when people like FightinGaters.net have a vote. This way the legit Heisman contenders still get votes when people vote their favorite team’s player first every year.

Travis mentions something about the true homers going a step farther and actually voting for people that are guaranteed to lose to avoid giving more points to a competitor of their favorite player. This is blatantly taking advantage of the system and I can only hope that if this does happen that it is extremely rare.

This would be the worst possible thing that could happen to Heisman voting, in my opinion. This would vastly increase the power that mainstream media outlets had in determining the winner because most, if not all, of the voters would consult these outlets to see who they expect everyone to vote for. Most people don’t like sticking their neck out there and they certainly won’t want to be forced to defend their pick if it isn’t mainstream.

While I agree that in theory all of the voters should say who they voted for and be willing to defend the pick, many (or perhaps most) of the voters would take the easy road and just vote for the mainstream candidates. So if ESPN says a player is leading the Heisman hunt then that’s who will get the votes of the people that don’t want to defend themselvers.

I wish we would ban any more posts about Clay Travis from this site. Why even waste our time.

I am seated in the smallest room in the house. A printout of your review is before me. Shortly it will be behind me.
