Title: Heisman Choice
Post by: OrangeAfroMan on December 14, 2024, 08:39:03 PM
We should have this about a week out, every year.  
Next time!

tough call. I'd go Cam Ward or Travis Hunter. Miami would legit be a 6 loss team without Cam Ward. Colorado is basically a two man team in Shedeur and Hunter, and we haven't really ever seen a player truly go both ways the way Hunter does. I'd go with one of those two, flip a coin. Probably lean towards Cam Ward just because he QB'd Miami to 10-2 and was a ~unacceptable vulgar term for part of female anatomy~ hair away from having them 11-1 or 12-0....and that's with a clown like Mario Cristobal as his head coach and a laughably god awful defense backing him up.

Ashton Jeanty is a straight up beast but his week in week out competition level does absolutely suck which diminishes his stats a bit imo and Dillon Gabriel is a very good college QB in a great system on a great team- but he shouldn't have been nominated imo.

Yeah, for me, if you're a G5 RB, you're going to have to surpass Gordon and maybe even Barry Sanders to get the actual Heisman. 

As amazing as his WR stats are and his being a good CB (4 INTs + 11 PD), just the sheer volume of plays Hunter's on the field is unprecedented.  You'd have to go back to the 50s to find players doing the same, which pre-dates the data, lol.
To be playing far more than anyone else AND playing at such a high level, the kid has earned it, imo.

Through most of the week going, it seemed like this is where it would end. And honestly, it seems fine.

He had a pretty bunker season. He did some very cool and unusual stuff. The field is pretty weak. Fine and good outcome.

agreed. he's a more than worthy winner. was doing things we frankly haven't ever seen before. 

Cam Ward probably takes the trophy home if Miami goes 12-0 and doesn't drop games to Georgia Tech & Syracuse.

This is why every Heisman-winner's first words should be to thank his teammates.  God wasn't holding the other team to a field goal.  Your parents didn't pick up that blitzing LB.  The game is so reliant on individuals playing as a team that a bad defense can cost Ward a Heisman.

Cam Ward is a hometown kid ( went to my HS ). Sucks he didn’t win, but one hell of a success story. From non recruited to heisman top 4.

Travis Hunter hints at playing in Alamo Bowl
Colorado star Travis Hunter hinted at playing in the Alamo Bowl during his Heisman Trophy speech. Hunter said he didn't want to get emotional talking about Shedeur Sanders because they still had one last game together as teammates at Colorado.

For three of four years between 1947 and 1950, a Polish American won the Heisman Trophy. Notre Dame's Johnny Lujack won the trophy in 1947, teammate Leon Hart in 1949, and Ohio State's Vic Janowicz in 1950. All three are inductees of the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame.

Go celebrate with a Polish Boy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Boy

The Polish Boy is a sausage sandwich native to Cleveland, Ohio. It consists of a link of kielbasa sausage placed in a bun, and covered with a layer of french fries, a layer of barbecue sauce and a layer of coleslaw. While the sausage is typically grilled, some establishments will quickly deep fry the sausage after grilling and prior to assembling the sandwich.

While Polish Boys can be found at various establishments throughout Cleveland, a popular place was Freddie's Southern Style Rib House, known for their southern style barbecue sauce. Esquire named theirs as one of the best sandwiches in America, calling it "soul on white."

Chef Michael Symon cited the Polish Boy as "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" on the Food Network, where he featured Seti's Polish Boys on the show. Seti's version had an optional chili and cheese add-on.

Now dammit that right there is worth putting a bib on for

Okay, so you post about a Polish Boy but you don't even eat it as designed? 

Actually, I think I've had a Polish Boy, now that you mention it. 

I didn't have kielbasa, so I substituted a beef frank. I didn't have french fries, cole slaw, or BBQ sauce, so I substituted relish, mustard, and onion. 

It was the best Polish Boy ever! Oh wait... No it wasn't. It was a hot dog.

Miami is insane. The amount of billion plus dollar condo, hotel, & mixed use developments that have gone up in the last 10 years is nuts and there's a shit ton more of it coming over the next 10 years. Half the skyline in the city has been built within the last 20 years. Miami is the #3 city in US in terms of amount of high rises right now. Give it another 20 years and wouldn't be shocked if they surpass Chicago for #2.

There are 90 high rise buildings under construction in Miami right now, that's more than all in the entire state of California combined. Only NYC has more under construction. Miami is definitely the "it" city in the US right now, and the art basel week and gentrification of Wynwood has brought all these big money artsy weirdos with too much money no taste and too little brains that were confined to NYC and LA....it kind of sucks actually wish those freaks would stay in their blue shitholes and not come here and try to fuck things up for the normal people.

Story of my life. I got into the world of electrical engineering and moved to Silicon Valley... Right at the start of 2001. Which you may recall as the exact moment the "dot com bubble" burst in spectacular fashion. 

I listen to the sales guys who are a decade older than me talk about how absolutely crazy things were in the 90s, with money flowing as freely as the Mississippi River, and some of the debauchery that was commonplace at the time.

But that's okay. I'm middle-aged. "Prime" Austin probably isn't for me anyway.

I really just meant that the traffic didn't suck so bad.  And there were probably like 800k less people.  And San Marcos was still a small town with a small town vibe where you could get from almost anywhere to anywhere else in like 10 minutes.
