Official Heisman thread

Congrats to Ingram for bringing the Tide its first Heisman. Now just don't jinx us in the title game. If I had a vote and wasn't so Tide-biased, I'd have picked Suh, then Gerhart or Ingram, but I do feel that Ingram is totally deserving.

The good news is he's coming back next year. Sorry Auburn.:laughlol:

Nice to have Ingram bring the Tide their first Heisman winner. Congrats Mark, now bring home another national championship!

Classic Alabama fan's reaction to make your own team's accomplishment somehow about Auburn.

By the way, I was at a wedding reception last night when news started to trickle in about Ingram winning it, and a buddy of mine who played football at Bama turns to me and says the Heisman voters should be embarrassed. I thought that was a little harsh, as I didn't really have a problem with Ingram winning it. It was a pretty weak year for Heisman hopefuls and college football as a whole, so the winner was really a toss up.

I don't know about embarrassed, it was a case where there was not one candidate that clearly stood well above the others, so the writers resorted to homer-ism, and the eastern voters outnumbered all of the others.....I'm sure very few of them even watched a single Stanford game. It will be a long time before a non-USC player from the west coast ever wins one of the more prestigious awards in college football.

Yeah, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. All of the players, save for Tebow, were at least defensible. I'm a Bama guy, but take a look at this. It would have been a great year to break tradition and have a defensive player win the Heisman. Still glad that Ingram got it though. Next up, Trent Richardson.

While it's nothing to be embarassed about I do think it's hard to objectively make a case that Ingram was College Football's most outstanding player over Gerhart. If Toby played on the East Coast I don't think the voting would have been all that close.
