This hurts as bad as any loss


Dec 10, 2016, 9:15 PM

Just ripped my heart out.What a joke! I Thought the trophy was about something else, like being a leader....My Bad

I was thinking the same thing. Hurt for Deshaun.***

I agree. But at the end of the day it's just another trophy and we have bigger fish to fry. Have fun in the Citrus Bowl Lamar!

Nope and we all should have figured that out when...

they started awarding this to the likes of winston, manzell, etc. No integrity so then it became a stats trophy. They should eliminate the award and just just let the candidates know that stats will govern and - GO GET 'EM!

I bet John Heisman is rolling over in his grave over what his trophy has become. It disrespects the name...

Go Tigers!!!

I couldn't agree more. This is nothing like a loss. Every loss rips my soul to pieces.

I'm with you. Feel the same way. Albeit it wasn't

..exactly like a game day, but I've been anticipating the trophy for days. I've been counting the hours until 8:00 and was convinced the alleged criteria to win this trophy was far balanced to Deshaun. When they mentioned Jackson's name, it was like we just lost.

As far as the trophy, they got it wrong. It was a sad day for the history of that trophy, and like someone else said it's now more like a ESPY award given by ESPN than it is a time-honored, valued, and cherished award given to the best player in the country.

"The outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work"

Nothing against Jackson. Very talented player. But more deserving of the Heisman Trophy? Not a chance.

I didn't think the Heismanw as for being a leader, but...

yeah it still hurt. Watson would have made the prefect Heisman winner. I hate seeing him not get that dream.
