They got it right with invitations:
1. Toby Gerhart (1736 rushing, 149 receiving, 5.6 YPCarry, 26 total td's- all rushing)
2. Mark Ingram (1542 rushing , 322 receiving, 6.2 YPCarry, 18 total td's- 15 rushing)
3. Ndamukong Suh (82 tackles, 12 sacks, 1 int...Oh and all while being double teamed)
4. Colt McCoy (3512 Passing, 348 rushing, 70.5%, 27 td's passing, 3 rushing)
5. Tim Tebow (2413 Passing, 859 rushing, 65.2%, 18 td's passing, 13 rushing)

Just missed out:
C.J Spiller

and yes that would be the order from most deserving to least, according to the Heisman Mission Statement which is by no stretch a clear cut definition...(you would be hard pressed to find any wording that might restrict personal guidelines from coming into play)

“The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work. The Heisman trophy ensure….”

How do you determine that! I mean Toby looks like the least naturally gifted athlete so does that mean that he had the best pursuit of excellence?(with integrity of course) Tebow, at least by what the media loves to portray, is 70 years away from canonization; So did he show the greatest integrity this year while pursuing excellence? hmm. And no one epitomized great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work better then Ndamukong Suh who had the pleasure of getting his stats ALL while being double teamed! (680 pounds vs 295 sounds like hard work to me!)... and then comes the ever so overrated and unfair "exposure" factor: I looked through the whole website and no where did it say anything about 1. Team wins 2. Viewers 3. That ooh ah appeal?! 4. Must have touches on the ball (D-linemen?)...So why do those four variables constantly receive the highest BETA weights (yeah I just pulled out regression analysis). All I know is that as long as there is ambiguity as to what exactly a Heisman Winner is, then subjectivity and uncertainty will continue to cloud these results...So after the voters cast their votes this coming week, we might not end up applauding the most deserving candidate... but simply the popular prom king of college football.

Casey Keenum- Was 56 of 75 for 527 yards today in a loss to ECU!! So what did we learn?

1. Greg Hudson (ECU) might have just played himself out of Jimbo's top 3 defensive coordinators wish list

2. Joba Chamberlain is at home wondering why they still won't let him throw it 75 times!

Poor Joba someone help him find the courage to complain! Read More

We all remember this hilarious commercial!



Well their Back!




As Bobby Bowden once famously said

.... So simple, yet there is no greater truth: and Nike is willing to dish out the bucks it takes to have an unprecedented lineup of the best players. Takes money to make money and the risk never stop if you want to stay on top. Just look at the endorsement starting lineup's: Lebron, Kobe, Dwyane vs. KG, Dwight and Derek Rose. You can talk stock price, supply chains, employee training and while they are all extremely important, what it all comes down to is, consumer awareness!

P.S. I wonder if these financial experts are still crying: Financial Experts Question Endorsements (Nike is just about at its highest stock price in over 4 years and yes endorsements are higher then ever! Simple regression equation would show the positive correlation btwn the two...) Read More

Only a matter of time before someone makes a you-tube video of Adrian racing his car! If only I had editing skills. There hasn't been this much commotion about a Rush since he was saved from investing in the (fill in the blank with your favorite city by 2015) Rams. So does Benard get a 4629 dollar fine since he was going only 92% as fast as AP? Hey players can get more money by going faster in the 40 so why not charge proportionally for going faster on I40?

So as I stared at my TV last night in dismay, shock, disappointment and disgust (all while holding a sarcastic "this would happen" smile), I thought to myself: I have been part of over at least 5000 losses (yeah i actually tried to estimate it) for teams I either had and emotional or invested interest in (no no they were just friendly bets) but still I have not learned how to deal or cope with losing. That burn, that fire, that "this can not be happening" feeling still resonates every time I see even the most meaningless of losses. And then something happened; I somehow felt better when Kobe uttered this simple phrase "sometimes you just get lucky". The truth is the Heat did win that game with execution and they should have been in a pile but execution just sometimes is not enough. Too often you see victories that just cannot be rationalized (check Flutie, check Leitner, check Favre, check Bartman). It was not X's and O's or shifts but simply just luck; normally that would bother me because the player will try to explain how he's practiced, or done that play before (how somehow it was under his control and he could duplicate that feat) but this time I knew it was luck and Kobe did not try to argue: and for some reason, some strange and unexplainable reason, I went to sleep a little easier because of it...

Congratulations no no, not to the nets who did pick up their first win after an 0 and 18 start, but congratulations to the Bobcats who managed to remind us that they are still in the NBA. (What conference are they in again??)
