And it is the nine year anniversary of the "Big 12 Cartel" taking a second Heisman away from Tim.

As you can tell, I will never forgive them for this obvious slight. Tim did not appear in any of the three slots on a single ballot from the Big 12. Had a handful of them simply listed him third, he wins. Every ballot had Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, and Graham Harrell listed in various order depending on the location of the voter.

I am sure they are all proud of themselves

A lot of them didn’t even put him on the ballot at all if I remember correctly and they could go up to ten back then.

A glorious night for UF. Will always vividly remember where I was when it happened. Can’t wait to get back to those days.

Phenomenal player, of course. If I remember right, through the first half of the season the biggest Heisman competitor was Dennis Dixon (who blew his knee out), and then it became Darren McFadden.

The 2008 Heisman thing was so outrageous it still pisses me off royally. Tebow was a better player in 08 than he was in 07, and was clearly the best player in the nation, which he proved when he beat Bradford's ass in the NC game.

The 2007 season was my first on the GSMB and my first exposure to many of you jerks.

This brings back a lot of emotion for me because as Tim tore through the SEC that year I was caring for my dad who was in the last few months of his life. He started taking me to gator games as a child and would have loved seeing him play. He passed in the middle of November and Tim won it about 3 weeks later.

I feel for you Thick. My Dad took me and my brother to our first gator game in 1967 and I am a Gator because of him.
I am thankful that my Dad lived long enough to enjoy the glory days of SOS and Urban. He passed a couple of years ago so he was spared some of the suffering lately.

I lost almost all respect for the Heisman voters in 2001 when Rex got screwed. What little respect I had left was lost in 2008 when Tebow got robbed.

I saw Tebow in the audience at that Lomachenko v Rigandeaux boxing match at Madison Square Garden after the Heisman ceremony.
