Heisman

I’d like to know how he wins the Bedarnik Award (best defensive player) but not the Jim Thorpe (Best DB), but then wins the Heisman (Most Outstanding).

Deion had a right to voice his displeasure about that.

Before it became political and not objective. Troy Davis 96 and 97 2K+ yards each year
Troy Davis definitely deserved to win it after back to back years of 2000+ rushing yards. The problem was ISU football was still a doormat program at that time so I don't blame the voters. If we were going to a bowl game 1 of those years he probably wins easily. Just like the NFL, usually the MVP plays for a winning team so to pick a Heisman winner for a team that doesn't make the postseason usually does not happen.

Hunter was a well deserving winner. He is a rare 2 way player but even if he just played offense he still would have been there tonight on that alone. Just glad it didn't go to a QB as the Heisman has pretty much become a QB award lately.
 
But do you think it was on the up and up before then? It’s always been about the big brands.
Nope. Never said it was on the up & up.

What I hate about the award is this: it is not an award given to the best player in CFB (sometimes it does happen to work that way, but it should ALWAYS work that way.) However, it is an award for the best player on a great team.

If the CFB MVP was a LB on a 4-8 Kent State team who put up INSANE video game like #s, I don't care. It should go to him. But we all know that's not how it works.
 
Apparently he doesn't drink or party. His life is pretty much football, school, and fishing.

He's going to be the dream player for whichever team ends up drafting him. Is the kind of player that can do just about whatever the team needs him to do, and by nature is the kind of guy that isn't going to screw up his personal life.
