2009 College Football Thread

Hell, it's not like the QB on a two-win team can win the Heisman, or anything.

Oh, and Jimmy Clausen didn't get invited to the Heisman ceremony because he wasn't the best player on his team.  Why Golden Tate didn't get invited is another story.

Clausen stacks up more favorably to the top QBs than Tate does to the top WRs.  If there had been a different WR invited, I'd make an argument.  But I think Clausen is going to be the first QB taken in the draft.  How is he not better than McCoy and Tebow?

Just because his draft value is high, doesn't mean he's the best college player, and that's what the HT is about, not who translates to the NFL and an NFL system the best. He's a fine player and will be the top QB selected, but as far as what's gone on in the 2009 college season, Tebow and McCoy deserve it.

If this is really the case, then Ndamukong Suh should be running away and hiding with the Heisman vote.

Yeah, that dude knocked the smirk clean off Colt McCoy's face on Saturday.  I'd give him the trophy just for that.

Claussen is more deserving than Tebow or McCoy. I have spoken. I expect this to end right here.

My actual vote is for Suh as well. I just meant Claussen should be considered before Tebow or McCoy. But Suh's name actually means "house of swords" Holy mother of badass.

Damn, that blog of yours is really taking off. They gave you a Heisman vote???? You're more deserving than most of the actual voters, I'm sure.

All I'm saying is that he should have at least finished in the top 3 in voting in '68.

I know I'm one of about 3 people on here who don't hate the Irish, but how in the fuck did Clausen not merit an invite to the Heisman ceremony?

The QB from Houston Boise St. should receive an invite ahead of Claussen.

Best QB in NCAA'd

I agree, and I think both of them deserve invitations over Tebow and McCoy.  I'm not saying Jimmy should win it (I'm rooting for Suh), but it's probably going to go to a very undeserving McCoy, which sucks.  Both Tebow and McCoy looked very pedestrian against good defense, and McCoy was about one second away from being the stupidest QB in college football history.  I hope Derek Jeter wins it.

I know hating Tebow is all the rage with the kids these days, but Tebow deserves to be nominated for the Heisman.  Florida's receiving core was depleted all year because of injuries and losing Percy to the NFL.  Their running backs were too small to run between the tackles against the SEC defenses.  This meant for the long stretches during the games, Florida offense consisted of Tebow runs and Tebow scrambles and a shovel passes to Hernendez.  Without Tebow, Florida would probably be playing in some shitty bowl game instead of the Sugar Bowl.

This.  I hope they have the guts to give it to Suh.  Since Woodson, I can't think of a defensive player who has been more deserving.  The dude is a beast.

If his first request wasn't "can I use sex and/or recreational drug use to recruit barely literate players who make a mockery of the very concept of a "student-athlete," and then spend four years turning a blind eye to their misdeeds just like every other successful school?" he was very stupid to take that job. If he Did ask that question, and got a yes, then he'll be successful.
