Anybody? Okay, I’ll be honest…A part of me has always wanted one, but then again I’m a sports fan. I’ve always wanted a Vince Lombardi trophy as well…Same thing, I’m a sports fan! Well, the reality of things is this, one may have an opportunity to score the 2007 Heisman Trophy. What do I mean? With seemingly nobody wanting a part of this award this year…And really can you blame them, as this award signifies both the pinnacle as well as the death of ones football career! It’s looking like the only way to award the Heisman this season is to set up an auction on eBay with the starting bid starting out at $5.00.
Who would’ve ever thought this…That the most prestigious honor that one can achieve in college football, driven by public relations teams within universities would be heading into the month of November with no clear cut candidate(s)…Forget frontrunners, we realistically don’t even have a list of candidates! On a weekly basis somebody’s campaign always takes a hit…Last Saturday it was Tebow’s turn. Yes, Superman fell off his horse, (oops, sorry about the pun). So his Heisman campaign can close down headquarters…Put that golden cape back in the closet for another year! And with that Matt Ryan would, I suppose, be the current leader in this race that virtually has no leader.
WOW! Who would’ve thunk that? After doing his best Jimmy Clausen impression last Thursday night in Lane Stadium for the first 58 minutes. Although if you ask me Ryan is just like his team, not really capturing the lime light…He’s, (I guess) leading this race because everybody else has fallen on their faces. Just as his team sits at number two. Look, we all know, we all have seen Backup College is not the number two team in the country and for the most part Matt Ryan is not the best player in the country. Does he deserve consideration, sure he does…Although, why is that? Because everybody has fallen off the face of the earth…Gone MIA! So I’m not drinking that Kool-Aid!
Remember John David Booty, Deshawn Jackson, Ray Rice, Darren McFadden, and all the preseason Heisman frontrunners…Well, too bad for them, they’re either hurt or their teams just plain blow, consequently turning them into cavemen on the college football landscape and in the Heisman Trophy race. After this past weekend, Steve Slaton put his name back into the Heisman debate…Although who knows, after this up coming slate of games we might be talking about Billy Bob, the mechanic who works down the street at Skeeters Tires, leading the race for all we know Anybody that can change 42 tires in a day, do 20 lube jobs is certainly deserving of at least consideration if you ask me!
Although if you ask me and I don’t know why you wouldn’t, Dennis Dixon would be my choice as of now, (this topsy, tervy race changes more than I change my tighty whitties) for the Heisman Trophy leading candidate over Ryan. I admit, I’ve been all over this guys nut sack ever since the second game of the season when the Ducks landed in Ann Arbor, but hey, it’s my only time to see him on the boob tube this year, (I live east of the Mississippi). I was like one of those 250-plus pound kids on Shaq’s Big Challenge in a candy store watching that game!
So who you got on top of your Heisman ballot? Ryan? Dixon? Or the hottie at the cash resister in the candy store helping kids become big boned? Well, if she looks like this…Well, I got her then! Happy Halloween fellas!
