    Thanks, Sonner. I'll go with your conjecture over simple multiplication.

    No way this show needs to be an hour. But typical of the WWL, thinking us unwashed heathens really want to spend the hour listening to Fowler, Herbstreit, Corso and the rest of their motley crew flap their gums.

    I'm rooting for Suh or Gerhart, personally...it would be the ultimate one-finger salute to ESPN.

    No shit. Enough already.

    How has 'Bama not had a Heisman winner? Never would have guessed that.

    Go right ahead. But how many more carries did Ingram get? And who's to say Richardson's YPC wouldn't have increased the more he got the ball?

    Just opinion dude. Calm down. You can really let your inner fanboy out in a few minutes...

    Apparently overrated, undeserving Heisman winners don't age well.

    Had some great players in the pre-Heisman era (Don Hutson, Johnny Mack Brown). Namath was hurt and/or suspended all the time. During the 70s glory days, Bama ran the wishbone and no one really got the ball enough to put up the stats. (Johnny Musso had a great year in 1971, but got hurt late in the season and that pretty much killed his chances).

    Since then, no one's really been dominant enough to deserve it. Had David Palmer returned for his senior year, he might have had a chance.

    Whatever. I think Richardson's had a great year and will eventually be better than Ingram. But he did NOT have a better season this year. With the exception of the Auburn game, when Ingram was banged up, Ingram was the one on the field with the game on the line.

    And to answer your question, the carries between Ingram and Richardson were about 60-40.

    Never said Richardson had a better year than Ingram this year. That'd be untrue. I said, given the same number of carries as Ingram, that Richardson would have rushed for more yards.

    It's all those nightmares of Copeland and Curry still haunting him.

    Mike Rozier looking like a pimp daddy. And Rashaan Salaam looks like he's had the munchies for years.

    Eric Crouch is there, apparently in between quitting football teams.

    Would be cool to see Ingram win it, but really, anyone other than Tebow will be fine.
