colt mccoy's turn to win the heisman

paco · 07-20-09, 11:39 AM

I like Jahvid Best to win it. Very Very nice odds @5dimes

Willie Bee · 07-20-09, 11:40 AM

Love the line at The Greek: McCoy/Bradford/Tebow -240; Field +200

SoonerBS · 07-20-09, 12:25 PM

I think McCoy should have won it last year. If he has another season like he did last year, he wins it going away . . . .

no way he should have won it last yr with the stats bradford put up, those crazy offensive #'s the sooners put up (60 pts in what 5 straight gms?) and plus the sooners winning the tie-breaker against texas to play in the big-12 title gm..... but now mccoy is the senior and texas looks very good on paper

Good thread hoopy,

This topic would normally gain more traction if there wasn't drama going on in other threads.

I like McCoy to win the Heisman too

hoopster42 · 07-20-09, 03:13 PM

colt seems like a good kid.................. would be nice to see him win................. then again, him, tebow, bradford, all good kids, so just based on that it's colt's time LOL

Doc JS · 07-20-09, 03:21 PM

Should we let the season play out and actually see who the best player is? Or should we just give it to Colt and call it a day???

of course we let the season play out, DR, but sometimes these things are just given in a certain order, like in 05 when leinart won it because bush won it before him.... and vince young was only a jr so they thought he had 1 more yr left to win but then he declared early................. honestly, i have predicted the heisman winner correctly in the preseason in 5 of the past 9 yrs................ i am telling you that because tebow and bradford already won, mccoy is the frontrunner this yr

last 2 time winner was archie griffin mid-70s, no repeater since

cspurs · 07-20-09, 04:51 PM

I hope he does
agree with Sooner, should have won it last year
not a Texas fan but I hope he does

if colt wins the heisman the system is more flawed than the BCS. when did they change the name to ok you been around awhile and had a good career award.

I agree! He won't win

Deuce · 12-09-09, 09:58 AM

It is going to be Ingram or Nkomondong Suh

FishFace5 · 12-09-09, 10:02 AM

He won't win and doesn't deserve to win. He can't throw the ball more than 15 yards down the field. Shipley deserves it more than McCoy does. I think Ingram wins but would have no problem with either Gerhart or Suh. The quarterbacks should finish 4th and 5th imo.

HoulihansTX · 12-09-09, 10:17 AM

The Heisman is a joke.

A bunch of old guys who don't watch any of the games until the last week of football.

FishFace5 · 12-09-09, 10:18 AM

Agreed. How the voting is done needs to be changed.

HoulihansTX · 12-09-09, 10:19 AM

I expect for McCoy to get his lifetime achievement award, then go on to get beat by the better player... Ingram.

Just like when Lienhart won it, and then Vince Young showed how vastly superior he was in the Championship game.

C.J Spiller is my MVP. Clemson relies on him to do everything. KR, PR, RB/WR. That team doesnt have an inkling of a chance without him, and we sill see the black hole he leaves next year when Dabo Swinney actually has to out-coach someone. Not happening

smitch124 · 12-09-09, 11:51 AM

I have to go with Ingram.

HoldEmHook!! · 12-09-09, 08:03 PM

Its gonna be tough for Ingram.....Paul Finebaum, a radio talk show host who knows his stuff, said that 3 of his colleagues from Mississippi and 2 from Tennessee said they voted Ingram no better than 3rd because they didnt want to see anyone from Alabama win it. plus he reported that 16% of the votes had been turned in before last weekends ball games.....The voting needs to be done in a different way....why would some one not wait untill last weekends games had been played......Finebaum said he had been contacted twice earlier in the week by the Heisman comitee asking him had he voted yet.....He told them no and would not vote untill monday which was the deadline. IMO the heisman should not be voted on untill the last bowl game has been played....

Sam Odom · 12-09-09, 08:08 PM

Love him or hate him , CBS' Gary Danielson gave back his Vote years ago because of the politics (dirty tricks) involved.

koby25 · 12-09-09, 08:12 PM

I'd vote for Colt. He deserves it.

Sam Odom · 12-09-09, 08:16 PM

The true definition of what makes a player the Heisman winner is lost and long gone.

McCoy means way more to Texas' success than Ingram does to Bama's. If that matters?

Doc JS · 12-09-09, 08:28 PM

The season George Rogers won the Heisman, the Gamecocks played Pacific. They were horrible. George got his 100 yards and a couple of TD's in the first half and Coach Jim Carlen pulled him. He didn't play at all in the second half. When the press asked Coach Carlen why he pulled Rogers Carlen answered, "You don't win the Heisman against Pacific.

McCoy played against two quality defenses this year - OU and Nebraska. Just look at McCoy's stats in those two games. He did not play well in those two games. He just didn't. I'm sorry...

You don't win the Heisman by lighting up UTEP, Baylor and Texas A&M.

If you want to give him a "Lifetime Achievement Award"...fine. You'll get no complaints from me. But Colt McCoy wasn't the best college football player this season. He just wasn't...

NYER5680 · 12-09-09, 09:51 PM

I like gerhart or spiller

BadNina · 12-09-09, 10:09 PM

There were games that Saban pulled Ingram out early. He could have played him more for the stats alone but didn't cause that wasn't in the best interest of his team. Stanford wouldn't have won what they did without Gerhart.

Ingram takes it home! T-Town will own the Coaches Trophy AND the Heisman!! And THAT is your

BadNina · 12-10-09, 12:52 AM

wish I had a cool name like Itchypickle

hoopster42 · 12-10-09, 03:29 AM

those of you saying "this guy meant more to his team" etc just have no idea what you're talking about. colt mccoy is the best college football player AND the most valuable to his team, although the heisman should go to the best football player overall, not the mvp, that award is for the pros, not college

TomDwan · 12-10-09, 03:48 AM

Colt McCoy is gonna win, and deserves to win. Where would the Longhorns be without him? McCoy means everything to Texas.
