Heisman Watch

Post by stlouie_lipp »

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to college football, but I do follow it. Can anyone tell me why Montee Ball isn't in the Heisman conversation? And why he isn't leading it?

It starts with corporate controlled fascist media, the use of sports as an opioid to distract the masses, the dumbing down of society, short attention spans, and suit-prone tort lawyers.

Also, Russell Wilson was the original candidate from Wisconsin but after they lost 2 winnable games because of poor defense and special teams, the media bias shifted to SEC and Pac12, and it is hard to win back. Plus, Ball is a junior and would be a favorite next year if he's not in the NFL.

I'm guessing there may be some more Heisman pub for Montee after this week. Personally, I think it's a mixture of factors: 1) the typical bias for all things SEC, 2) not much of a Heisman campaign for Montee from UW Athletics (until this week), 3) the 2 losses-which of course really weren't Montee's fault, but evidently Heisman voters think he was responsible for two ST blunders and two blown coverages. The announcers were acknowledging today how awesome Montee is though and were wondering aloud the same question posed above. So, we'll see how it goes I guess-will be nice to see Montee get another crack at msu next week-I'm predicting another 4 TD's from him (3 rush, 1 reception)

I don't know why that QB from Boise State hasn't even been mentioned either.

I think it's RGIII to lose, but I am no expert.
