Heisman Trophy Watch

Alright, friends, it's down to the wire with the Heisman and here are today's hot tips:

> This Saturday, the Heisman (HI'S-man) Trophy is awarded. It's the most talked about award in college football. There are people who may disagree with me on that. Notice that I didn't say it's the most important or the most prestigious.
> The Heisman finalists are:
+ Colt McCoy, QB from Texas
+ Tim Tebow, QB from Florida
+ Mark Ingram, RB from Alabama
+ Toby Gerhart, RB from Stanford
+ Ndamukong Suh, DT (defensive tackle) from Nebraska

> Final ballots are due right after the league championship games so a player's performance in those games can cost them the Heisman.

> For instance, Tim Tebow had a great year but Florida's loss to Alabama likely means he's not going to win the Heisman.

> On the other hand, Mark Ingram from Alabama had a GREAT game against Florida and he stands a decent chance at winning.

> In other words, it's that last impression that can sway the voters.

Chat it up and keep comin' back to the BBQ!

Enjoy!

The voters seemed to totally ignore Ingram's 51 yards of total offense against Auburn. The only two real candidates were Gerhart and "A Man Named" Suh. Suh was the most impressive defensive lineman I have seen in years. He had my vote.
