Heisman Trophy Thread…

Jeanty wins the fan vote, but Hunter takes home the trophy. Well deserved IMO, Hunter is a good kid and a phenomenal athlete, can’t wait to see what he does at the next level.

Also…
iowa still sucks a diseased donkey’s ass. 🖕🏼
I think the fan vote had to do with guilt by association with Deion and his kids . As I said he wasn’t anywhere close to that .

I didn’t give any respect to anything at Colorado. Helps that we beat them this year but they did prove themselves this year. Have to admit Hunter is a stud and wished we had him. I would have taken Shedeur this year too. Great athlete but has some mental issues.
 
Jesus he won the Lott impact award which has to do with off the field stuff such as academics.etc.. He majored in Psychology and has a cumulative 3.64 and had a 4.0 this fall .
But, but… he doesn’t look like a guy who goes to class!
 
Nothing against Hunter, but he never really shined against great teams. He benefited from playing against low to mid-level teams. His signature play/moment, if he had any were far from special, don't know if any would land in the top 200 on the year. The obsession to play as many snaps as possible to con everyone into believing he is a freak, means he will be woefully underdeveloped both physically and mentally for the NFL.

However, there weren't many great candidates this year. Jeanty played against mostly bad teams. People may point to Oregon, but Oregon was playing bad football to start the year.

Never really watched Cam Ward play, but score watching, seemed to will Miami to many wins they had no business winning.

Congrats to Hunter. Guys that can play well on both sides of the ball always amazed me.

Not a bad football life we have in Lincoln in many ways. We got see the eventual National Champion in Lincoln last year and this year we had the Heisman Trophy winner play on our turf. Good stuff.
 
Jeanty had a historic season. I would have liked to see him win, but it would have been almost impossible for anyone to win against the medias darling no matter how good they were.

The media train jumped on Hunter because of Deion and Jeanty never got any pub until the conference title game when Brock Huard was promoting him. Travis is deserving, but it's the Deion effect that got him the votes. I live in Boulder and hate the Baarrffalos. But Hunter is a stud and very deserving in his own right.
 
And Eddie George’s Winning it instead of Tommie or Charles Woodson win over Payton manning, it all about who has a better publicist,
Lawrence would have won it hands down, but like I posted earlier he went full metal jacket after the Michigan St game..

He would have had monster numbers and could have had the all time rushing record in NCAA history..
 
Until an OL or DL wins the Heisman, it will simply be the award for the most hyped player by the media award.

With that said, Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty were both deserving this year. I would have voted for Jeanty due to the massive impact he had on Boise State making it to this years College Football Playoff. Without Jeanty, does Boise State even win 9 games?

I wonder how these votes would end up if the current players voted instead of media nerds.

It is like the Baseball HOF where these old ass fish hacks get to decide who should and shouldn't get in.

Let players and coaches vote.
 
Jeanty gets my vote but I think Hunter will win it. And I can’t hate on that, Hunter is a unique and elite player.

Also fvck iowa. Suck a dick cawkeyes 🖕🏼
I don't have a problem with Hunter over Jeantty. Hunter was elite at two positions and played practically entire games. At high altitude.
I have a bigger problem with Suh not winning in 2009. No voting should have happened until every game had been played. And denying a defensive player or lineman is just ridiculous.
I think Orlando Pace was the best player in 1996. Eddie George admitted that his stats the previous year were partly a reflection of Pace driving everybody 5 yards downfield.
And again, if the Heisman vote happened after the NC game, Frazier would have been the winner in 1995.
It will probably not sound good here, but I honestly think the winner in 2001 should have been Ed Reed. he stood out on a team of elite players at every position. Crouch benefitted from a weak schedule and had one fantastic play against a mediocre Oklahoma team with no offense. Against Miami he was completely dominated, as was everyone else.
And you could probably argue Trevor Lawrence was the best player at the end of 2018. But starting the season not as the starter and playing your best in the championship games makes it harder to win.
 
Hunter is not a "Buff" in the traditional sense. He goes to class. Respectful after the fact with regard to our game with them. Let's his play do the talking. Congratulations to the young man.
He may be a stand up guy, but he definitely acted like a beeotch in our game.

It's interesting to me, listening to a lot of people questioning Jeanty's competition at the G5 level... ASU was picked dead last, BYU 13th, Baylor 12th, and CU 11th rounded out the top 5 of the B12 with ISU... Both ASU and CU hit the transfer portal hard raking in players from the G5 or lower like Cam Skattebo, Xavier Guillory, Myles Rowser, Jimmy Horn, Lajantey Wester, Hill _Green, Silmon-Craig, Shilo Sanders, Preston Hodge, the list goes on... BYU was a G5/Independent for years, now these rosters with G5 level contributors at a ton of spots, came in and ran the league... Could it be the competition in the B12 isn't all that great either????
