Interesting Heisman Article

"Smith was reinstated by the NCAA the following season, but then Ohio State coach Jim Tressel really dropped the hammer when he suspended Smith for the first game-and-a-half of the 2005 season. That had to hurt. OK, not so much."

There are many who will argue that Smith's suspension (and the resulting lack of playing and practice time) was the the key factor allowing Texas to beat Ohio State the 2nd week of the season. I would suggest some guy named Vince Young had something to do with the outcome of that game, but certainly that suspension "hurt" both Smith and the team.

 

Hoover's a decent guy, but this Heisman Award as a holy honor idea is utterly stupid.
And I wonder, did this make the print edition? It looks like a web-only blog item. I ask because it doesn't look like the kind of thing which would pass the editing sniff test.
Anyway, dumb premise, dumb execution, and seens to me like it was done to get the message board morons all up in arms. Like any of them need an excuse.

 

Hyp.O.Crite. He'll put the guy on the All-American ballot in spite of the cheating, but not on the Heisman ballot because of it? Please. If you're going to refrain from voting for T-Roy and use that as your reason, fine. But be consistent.
