Heisman Trophy Presentation Live Comment Thread

I suppose we should have named this the "Watch all these regurgitated stories before Tim Tebow Wins the Heisman" thread.

StiffArmTrophy.com has compiled a portion of the votes that have been announced by individual ballot holders and their projection is that Tim Tebow wins by a fair margin. I think it's fairly obvious the Florida QB will take home the trophy by I'm predicting by a very slim margin. I believe more voters than suspected will continue to prefer the upperclassmen and give the nod to McFadden and even longshots Chase Daniel and Colt Brennan.

Outside of the top, I'll be curious to see where defense standouts Glenn Dorsey and James Laurinaitis finish. I'm going to say Dorsey sneaks into the Top 8 which is quite an accomplishment for someone who doesn't see the football.

Alright, it's about underway so if you'd like to Q it up, here's your place.

Pat

They keep talking about how close this race is, and how many different front-runners there have been. But does anyone honestly think that Chase Daniel was REALLY the front-runner at any time? Or even Colt Brennan? I'm a huge Brennan fan, but there's no way he deserved to be in New York this year.

And it annoyed me that the announce in the montage had a lisp. Why, when the only thing you can hear is someone's voice, would you pick a guy with a speech impediment? Call me shallow, but that's annoying.

McFadden, Dixon, Ryan, Tebow, McFadden, Dixon, Tebow ... so in that respect it was fairly open but I agree it's been wrapped up for a few weeks now. Which makes it even more ridiculous that Dixon isn't there. Brennan missed as much time as Dixon.

The only reason they aren't there is because of injury. I'm not sure what voter it was, but some ESPN personality said he was going with Dixon #1.

0	Jon wrote: What happens if lots of people did the same? I think it would be hilarious if the trophy went to someone who wasn't even there and everybody stood around not knowing what to do. I don't think that would happen because I think they invite the guys they know will be in the top how many ever they invite. But that would be hilarious.

0	Is there a live thread for the fight tonight? My gf is in NYC (no not for the Heisman) so I ordered it on kind of a spur of the moment thing. Anyone else planning on watching it?

0	this is worse then the bowl selection show, just announce the freakin winner already

1	TIMMY!!!

0	Ok...thith guy'th lithp ith thtarting to pith me off. Ith thith the thame guy from Kill Bill, because that jerk ruined that movie for me...AND the yellowbook.com commercials.

0	You're welcome, Timmy. And tell us one more time...how do you feel about being a Gator?

0	I don't blame him, but sometimes it's funny to see players who aren't nervous in front of 100,000 but incredibly nervous in front of a TV. I'm surprised he hasn't said he loves FanIQ yet.

0	So does the Heisman curse continue? Only Leinart and Palmer won their bowl games the year they won the Heisman in this decade at least.

1	Corso: "This is the classiest thing that ESPN does" Translation: "Thank God Stephen A. Smith & John Kruk aren't here"

1	17 people put Dixon first. Which is almost as many as Chase Daniel got.

0	Wait a second... How can the Hesiman be in two places at once?

0	I declare this to also be the Bowl Mania Live Comment Thread. Not much else on, and since it's on ESPN, there will be plenty to mock.

0	Did Mark May really just say that the voters finally got it right because they watched ESPN? Let the conspiracies fly.

0	So scoring 4 rushing TD's from under 4 yards and throwing for 3 is just as impressive as running for a rushing yards record in the "great" SEC?

1	I call putting Jessie Palmers picks into our Bowl Pick'em Challenge.

1	Palmer will put Florida beating Michigan as his most confident pick.

1	So they just cut to Jesse Palmer while talking about the Rose Bowl and nobody made a Bachelor joke? For shame.

0	What do we think Palmer's biggest confidence pick is now? Georgia?

0	Matt Wiener just said one of those "experts" is going to pick Hawaii to win.
