So. Who wins the Heisman?

I guess that answers my question.

 

You think I just made it up? I have a lot of free time. Not that much, though.

 

I definitely want to be here during the two-hour intersection when Dick and oop are on the board at the same time today.

 

I did have enough free time to participate in that brain-draining back-and-forth, though. That's on me.

 

Before Tebow won it, no sophomore had ever won it, so it was something of a moot point.

One of the problems in giving it to an underclassman is that he will always be compared to his winning season.

I though Peyton Manning was the best player in the country as a sophomore and again as a junior, but I didn't make an issue of him not winning it in those years (Rashaan Salaam??? Danny Wuerffel???) because I was damn sure he'd get it when his senior year rolled around (Charles Woodson??? A defensive player? Are you kidding me?).

If you're going to start evaluating single seasons, you're going to have to go back and rewrite a huge chunk of the history books.

 

Moving back to the Heisman winner ... I guess this is what the pride of vindication looks like, via CBS Evening News:

Was scheduled to interview Jameis Winston at 12:30. @floridastate tried to put restrictions on interview topics at last minute. We said no.

 

The best thing Winston can do for the next six months or so is no interviews. There is nothing he can say that is going to help him or make him look any better. Only way to go is down from here.
