Hunter
Jeanty






Errbody else.

[chinook]

a little blue tarnish on the trophy.

[Snaggletiger]

Hard not to vote for Hunter given how good he was on both sides of the ball.  But, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to Jeanty.  Those stats are Alvin Henderson level sick.

Jeanty is no Cencade Pennington or Markeith Cooper that's for sure.

Sorry, not sorry, but I'm just not over the moon about that dude. He gets the ball 35-40 times a game. All the teams he played against aren't all that good (Oregon the lone exception) and again, he built those stats over a boat load of carries in a boat load of games against the Mountain West. That's not the Big Ten, the SEC, or even the ACC for that matter. He's a good player but I'm not sure he's Heisman quality. For that matter, neither is Gabriel or Ward.

Hunter really is the guy this year.

no Cencade Pennington

Funny story here.....he's my daughter's track coach.

I'm no giant or tall (like Snags). But I feel like both standing next to him. Between him and The Lizard and others, it's amazing how small/short a lot of the players were in that era under Wes....I mean, Tot.

The power coursing through my veins.

I'll see you all at Bottcher's for the after-after party.

He scrapped everything that made him successful, so he could be just like Diddy.  He was searching hard for a Warrick Dunn clone, and leaving a 225 pound bruiser in Fred Beasley, on the bench.

Beasley and or Davis should have won lots of trophies. Sad really.

Yep.  And Beasley played 8 seasons with the 49ers, and was named all-pro at fullback in two seasons.  But, he was only good enough to ride the bench in Bowden's offense.

Speaking of fullbacks, remember Tony Richardson? He was on the short list for NFL HoF for a few years. Not sure he ever made it in but I remember a cold game against Arkansas where he and Reid McMillan made some big plays.

I miss fullbacks like I miss good chain restaurants.

We should go back to the wishbone.  Or the Power-I. 

FWIW?   I have no interest in the Heisman.  None of them have the physical tools of a Bo, Cam, Herschel. None of them are "great" or enduring in any sense of the words.  Just some mid, meh, somewhat decent players.  Hunter is the worst of that bunch, but has the screaming ESPN hype.

Say what you want but that breakfast bar had an epic run of greatness.

We still have a Shoney's here that's hanging by a thread.  Can't believe it's still open.  But, back in the day, Shoney's was the shizznit.

I worked at Alvin's Island during my latter high school years and my boss was the fucking best.  She'd constantly send me out for errands that I could turn into a four hour break to hang with my friends.

Anywhoo...one of her favorite errands was for me to run to Shoneys and get that strawberry pie for us all to devour in the breakroom in about 3 minutes.

Alvin's Island.  Greatest collection of useless crap on the planet.  Love that place.

Oh, I didn't work with the hoi polloi down in "souvenirs".  I was upstairs, in apparel.  Spent most of my days chatting up girls and offering (solicited) opinions on their bikini options.

Life was good.

As a kid, one of the highlights of our Panty Bra City vacations, was a trip to Alvin's, the one with the volcano at Miracle Strip Amusement Park. Look Dad, it's a monkey made out of a coconut. Can we buy it, pleeeeease.  No wait, I want that alligator head. Oooooo....hermit crabs.
