Florida has three Heisman winners

[78]

78, I never said Tebow's numbers were crazy better than the other two overrated POS idiots. All I said is that it was clear he was the BEST PLAYER in college football, which is what the award is supposed to be. He had just come off the best game of his entire career, a SECCG win over Bama without Percy, in which he put the entire team on his back in the second half. It was the best game he ever played.

I'm not arguing that. I was there every step of the way. The dude had a great, great season. I'm just trying to understand this charge being levied that it was a conspiracy to screw Tim. How can you look at Bradford's numbers and not be bowled over? 50 freaking TD passes. That's insane. He had to be deserving of some consideration.

Secondly, what is so weird about Big 12 states being behind a Big 12 nominee? Of course they're going to do that. I'll bet the Deep South was solidly behind Tebow.

It’s not voting Bradford over Tebow that was egregious - it was leaving Tebow completely off the ballot to ensure that Tebow wouldn’t win that was dishonest. Voting the Texas tech boys or even Colt McCoy over Tebow or saying Tebow was not one of the top theee players that year was incredibly void of honor.

My eyes see second-place votes as making the difference.

Bradford 315
McCoy 288
Tebow 207

Now, did all those McCoy second-place votes come from the Big 12?

[Captain Sasquatch]

I would agree with that. Tim's 2009 wasn't too shabby either.

Toby Gerhart should have won in 2009.

Here is the region breakdown - note the large discrepency in what third was in the Southwest va other regions

Seriously, why was Colt McCoy on the ballot to begin with? His numbers didn't warrant more consideration than even Graham Harrell.

Midwest and Far West screwed Tebow. Everything else was pretty much as expected.

 

[jaywalker72]

154 of 904 voters didn’t feel Tebow’s year was even top three in the nation.

Sigh. The beginning seeds of the Tebow over exposure backlash.

No question in my mind Tim Tebow is the greatest college football player of our time. Maybe not the greatest quarterback, but the best football player.

As most of us have seen the Nissan commercials featuring the past Heisman winners, has anyone else noticed Rapeis Winston's absence? We all know for a fact it's not by choice. I've also noticed Manziel hasn't been on any recent Nissan commercials.

With Grossman, asshat voters decided that sophomores simply shouldn't win, so they screwed him by leaving him off ballots. With Tebow (who had finally broken the ridiculous, unwritten sophomore rule the year before), voters decided that he shouldn't win twice, so they did the same thing. Both decisions are outrageous.

78’s just being a PIA. Pretty sure he gets reincarnated as a butt plug.

People are going to start accusing me of paying him just to play Devil's Advocate in every thread, no matter how dumb he looks. He's certainly extended threads.

So.... you should have been paying me all these years?

You guys are blowing my cover.

4 Heisman winners played at Florida......but one of them stole a laptop.

Votes want that Archie Griffin legacy. Just like if that kid in Oregon didn't blow out his knee he would have been awarded because Tebow was a sophomore. Politics are politics. Are you really surprised. Just like the winner in 09 should have been the running back in Sanford, but the East coast didn't give him the votes.
