Memo to Heisman Trophy Voters (Page 3)

JBrashear - 2009-12-06 8:33 PM I look at the Heisman as a MVP award of sorts, and that's part of how I ordered my list. There's no question that if Colt was gone at the beginning of the year(to the pros or injury), Texas would have been somewhere around 7-5 or 8-4. None of the other finalists mentioned would have that large an impact on their team. I would argue that while last night & the OU game were big games, games like Oklahoma State(who gives Texas fits year in and year out) & A&M were nearly as big and Colt shined in both games. In fact, leading up to this game he had a series of 4-5 games where he was playing at '08 levels. Am I saying he should win it? Not really, but I think he deserves to be in NYC as a finalist. Nobody's really separated themselves this year, you can make solid arguments for several players. One thing that I think is an important note: nowhere in the Heisman guidelines does it say that the award is a seasonal award. If we're going based on a career, I think Colt tops that list. I also realize that most people treat it like a seasonal award rather than a career award, and I can understand that point of view. It would probably help if the Heisman people clarified the intent of the award, but they probably like the controversy.

JBrashear - 2009-12-07 8:07 AM OK, I get it, you don't like Colt and think he's average. We'll agree to disagree.
