Liveblogging the Heisman

PrintPerhaps the most exciting night in college football history. I do not exaggerate!
Billy Sims just said 'be respectful of the trophy.' Billy does exaggerate.
Chris Fowler just said Sims was in a classroom at OU when he heard he won the Heisman. There are no words.
Doug Flutie bought his suit on Canal Street a couple of hours ago.
Was Jim Plunkett 'Billy Bear' in 48 Hours?
Times Square sucks. Twenty years ago the finalists could have gotten a squeezer fron a tranny before the ceremony. Take the edge off, you know?
Suh led Nebraska in tackles two straight years. Didn't Casey Hampton do that as well?
I think Bo Pellini's tie is alligator.
I'm having a hard time hating Suh so I will focus my hatred on Gerhart.
Nice segue, Chris.
They sent Colt and Tebow to Carnegie Deli? Isn't there an Applebee's nearby?
Colt had a virus? Dude, that means different thing to different people.
'Tebow leaves a legacy of leadership that will live forever.'
Colt should fake an orgasm like Meg Ryan in 'When Harry Met Sally.'
Tebow said relationships were most important to him, yet he doesn't know anyone in the Biblical sense.
Gino Torretta in the house. I guess his team has tomorrow off. Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!
Ingram likes 'Family Guy,' but I bet even he hates 'The Cleveland Show.'
They should play the theme from 'Life Goes On' when showing Gerhart's highlights.
Sunken Diamond? Dude, I saw Legs Diamond at Sunken Garden Theater in San Antonio.
Gerhart took 21 hours? I don't think that dude could tell you how many minutes are in an hour.
Drum roll...
Mark Ingram.
Is that Sims yelling again?

If you rewind it you can see Sims joking about being in the classroom, I hate that classless clown.

This will most likely be a traveshmockery, but I can’t look away with Colt there. I hate this award and the inherent BS that goes with it. Vince couldn’t win it in 2005 b/c he was “his team’s MVP” but supposedly not the best player according to most analysts. Colt didn’t win it last year b/c Mack refuses to play Stoops’ football game equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel by having his QB throw TD bombs in the final minute of blowout victories. Once again, I hate this award…
Unless Colt wins it tonight.

Are they just trying to humiliate Colt and the offensive line?
by Burnt Orange Wookie on Dec 12, 2009 7:13 PM CST reply actions
I hope Greg, McWorther and the OL realize they are the reason Suh is here and Colt will not win.

Shit never ends BOW. Last year they slap Mack with the voting and this year our Offensive staff is making Colt look like a special ed student who got the courtesy invite.

I don’t know how the offensive line can look Colt in the eye after this. Yet Chris Hall was again equipped with his shit eating grin at the awards banquet.

That whole Suh segment was just constant humiliation for the line. At least I hope they think so. Maybe it will light a fire underneath their bellies.

And it’s pretty obvious that Colt and Tebow hate each other.
by ghostofagroundgame on Dec 12, 2009 7:24 PM CST reply actions
Sadly our line and Greg most likely look at this like “Suh is up for the Heisman, what did you expect us to do” instead of being pissed for launching that freaks fame.
F’n ESPN trying to weigh down Colt. Funny thing is Colt probably hates Tebow but could ask him what having sex feels like…
by MerHorn on Dec 12, 2009 7:24 PM CST reply actions
Oh yeah, I guess we don’t know WHO Tebow’s roommate is.

If I were Colt, I would’ve bound Chris Hall with duct tape, smeared him manure, and stuffed Bible pages in his mouth.
It’s probably good that I’m not Colt.

It is hilarious that Eric Crouch: (1) won a Heisman; (2) continues to show up for the ceremony; and (3) takes sartorial advice from Tom Tolbert.

Herbie probably makes Tiger Woods look like Joseph Smith in his on campus sexual dealings.

Many of the dudes that were least deserving make a special point of going each year. Interesting insight into human psychology.

I can’t believe Gerhart did that well. Ingram did not deserve this award, nice guy or not. Colt, Gerhart, or Suh and I wouldn’t say anything.

Colt finished third by a couple hundred votes and Suh had 815 votes. Thanks Greg.

Suh wins the Southwest.
We have any kind of game plan in Dallas and Colt wins by 200-300. We not only sank Colt, but we elevated Suh.
1304 – Ingram
1276 – Gerhart
1145 – McCoy
815 – Suh

Ha, Suh beat Colt in the Southwest. How’s that for recency bias? College football sportswriters are up there with pedophiles as far as I am concerned.
by sizzlechest on Dec 12, 2009 7:58 PM CST reply actions
This is ridiculous, we anti-Salaamed Colt. Somehow someway, our OWN TEAM found a way to screw Colt out of the Heisman.
I can’t believe this shit. I really can’t believe this shit.
At least last year we could pretend to put the blame on something else, we could say it was the system’s fault. There’s no one else to blame this year but ourselves. Nobody, not a soul. We are completely responsible for this fuck up.

Oh, and Mack the master recruiter really buttfucked this opportunity. Thanks, Mack.

Most average college fans do not respect Texas and the past two years it shows. Last year in Heisman and BCS voting. This year ESPN made at least 10 jokes on national TV about our QB.
I travel for a living and hear this shit a lot, mostly from casual fans who only watch a few Texas games a year like ou and the CCG.
It would be fun to win this thing.
I love A.Engle.
by MerHorn on Dec 12, 2009 8:00 PM CST reply actions
Hey, y’all — hate to say it, but Colt did not have a Heisman caliber year. Last year he did. This year he did not. Some of it is on him too. Just saying — I don’t think it should have been Ingram, but I’m not at all convinced it should have been Colt.
by ghostofagroundgame on Dec 12, 2009 8:01 PM CST reply actions
That’s not what anyone is debating.
I’d prefer McCoy win the Heisman than not. And we had it within our hands to deliver it to him with a competent gameplan in Dallas.
by Scipio Tex on Dec 12, 2009 8:04 PM CST reply actions
I don’t disagree with you. If he puts up good numbers — hell, if Kirkendoll doesn’t drop that pass or Buckner doesn’t lose the ball over the middle — then he wins it. I do feel badly for him and I’d rather he win it than not too.
by ghostofagroundgame on Dec 12, 2009 8:06 PM CST reply actions
The whole process is a fucking joke. But our guys can use it as motivation. It will be interesting to see if they step up.
by Blueshorn on Dec 12, 2009 8:08 PM CST reply actions
I don’t give a shit if McCoy had Heisman numbers or not. You think Bama fans are saying “oh geez I’m not sure if Ingram deserves this award, his numbers were good but not extraordinary.”
Heismans are good for the program, and he’s our player! I want them to have as much success as possible. I don’t care if they’re deserving or not. You think most casual fans will remember what a joke this year’s Heisman was? That kid has busted his ass for us for five years.
by NY Horn on Dec 12, 2009 8:12 PM CST reply actions
Ingram received 227 first-place votes and 1,304 points. Colt McCoy, last season’s runner-up, received 203 and 1,145.
I think y’all should count on being the runner-up in Pasadena, too.
When this season is all over, no one is going to remember anything about McCoy or Texas……..

For some reason I always pictured Howard Schnellenberger speaking with a German accent.
Lamar Thomas is an idiot… hence he got fired from a TV job a couple of years ago for being an idiot. There is such a thing as taking it too seriously, as he demonstrated tonight.
All in all, though, that was REALLY good.

I’m pissed off.
Do I think Colt deserves a Heisman? Absolutely. Should he have won it this year specifically? Yes and No.
I’m tired of trying to plead Colt’s case using numbers and facts. I’m tired of making fun of Billy Sims…. OK, not really. Could that piece of trash be more… you know.. full of trash?
What I’m really tired of is Joe Football Fan disrespecting my team. Joe doesn’t watch that many games, and tonight at Christmas party number two I had enough. Joe thinks the aggies are rebuilding. Joe doesn’t realize that Texas has a kick ass defense. Joe espoused something about the aggies recent success against the Longhorns. Joe was then told to call me when the aggies win more than 6 games. Call me when you make a BCS game, and call me when your team is relevant.
I’m pissed. I’m drunk after 9 hours of multiple XMAS parties. I’m pissed at apologetic Texas fans. Grow some balls people!!!!!
I can’t wait for the BCS Championship Game.

Colt, welcome to the club, son. The non-Heisman-winners club. It isn’t very exclusive, but it excludes Billy Sims so it’s got that going for it. Now go join Vince Young in the Texas-quarterbacks-that-make-the-Heisman-voters-look-foolish-in-retrospect club.

At least Ingram was gracious, but as SL Express pointed out the other day, Ingram will probably be the first Heisman winner to lose the starting job the next year. TR will get the majority of the carriers next season.

Is any other major individual award in MCF decided largely by members of the media? The Walter Camp? The Maxwell? When considering this yesterday before the ceremony, it made me wonder if the Heisman is coveted due to the marketing it receives. Could Microsoft cover the millions in free publicity ESPN gave the Heisman this year, both in print and on air?
Love your sentiments, Wood Shed. Hook ’em!
Just a thought.

I’ve got a couple of cowrkers who casually follow their grad school teams (PSU and Clemson). They always stand in my office on Mondays to try and chat up their squads, which they mght watch a total of 6-8 quarters total over a season. The clemson guy is tolerable, but the PSU fan always has MNC hopes without understanding how his views are shaped by lazy media (Sports Illustrated says HI!). Plus, as a casual fan, he continues to believe in the competitiveness of the Big 10.

Ingram will disappear next year. He’s just a sophomore, could end up with dead legs.
The Texas defense has to be licking their chops at the idea of shutting down a Heisman winner. Colt needs to bring his A-game against the Bama back seven.
