What sucks is that Suh leads by a large margin in first place votes, but doesn't appear on as many ballots overall. That's means a lot of people think he should win, but quite a few aren't even considering him because he's a defensive player.

If Ingram wins, I can't really complain, I guess he's about as worthy as the others...but I'll say this, I'll be thankful I live in Texas and don't have to work around Bammers who may very well be national champs and have the current Heisman winner. Talk about unbearable.

Truth be told, Texas has just as much of a superiority complex as Bammer. Maybe worse. I hear it everyday from the Austin yuppies.

A lot of them do, it's true, but the difference is that the majority of them that are like that at least went to school there. Most of the Texas fans I know that didn't go there are simply fans of the team, without the arrogance, and are no more annoying than any other normal fan base.

Not to mention, here in Texas, if you work with 50 people, there might be 12-15 big time Texas fans, 8-10 big Texas A&M fans, another 8-10 that are a Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU, etc. But that leaves somewhere around 15-22 people that don't care about any of the teams. You don't get that in Alabama. Basically everyone cares one way or the other.

It does, but about 32,500,000 are liberal hippy types that don't give a poop about football and probably still don't get why a coach makes more than a teacher.

Austin is cool in some regards, but my favorite part of it is that they have a Mellow Mushroom.

Austin is one of my favorite cities. A close second is San Antonio.

And he's right... UT has the biggest fan base, then A&M, then Tech, then you're talking Baylor, TCU, SFA, SWT (now Texas State) and about a dozen other schools. Here? No matter what Alabama college you went to... you pick AU or UA. Period.

That is the downside to Austin. In an otherwise very cool city, there are quite a few of those types mixed in. If you can look past them, the city is very cool...great restaurants, music, 6th Street, etc.

Kevin Scarbo says hello.

Although I disagree with him thinking that McClain is more dominate and better than Shu, I do agree that if anyone off the bammer team deserves it, McClain does more than any of his teammates.

So Alabama has THE TOP 2 football players in America? Bull fucking shit. What a fucking homer...

I noticed on the stiffarmtrophy.com website that in their seven years of predicting it correct, five of those years the actual % of the winner was 2% or more lower than their prediction.

Currently Ingram is ahead by 1.6%. That means it's still essentially dead even. I wonder if this turns out to be the closest race ever?

Ingram now at 43.8%.

Gerhart at 40.6.

If Stiffarmtrophy really is that accurate, this one is about over.

Please explain why Rolando McClain or Mark Ingram shouldn't be in this discussion. I would love to hear whatever bullshit reason you can come up with in regards to McClain. He's like having a coach on the field every snap, and is a top 10 draft pick.

The Hiesman is about the best player in college football. Apparently, acording to Scarbinsky, Alabama has the best 2 players in college football on their team. The best fucking 2. That is what is bullshit. Fuck Tebow. Fuck McCoy. Fuck Gerhart. Fuck Suh. Fuck every other motherfucker in Division 1A, Alabama has THE BEST 2. If that ain't bullshit, I'm not sure what is...

Translation = because they are Alabama players. That is your only reasoning so far.

If common sense doesn't tell you that's ridiculous, nor do you follow War Eagle!!!'s sound reasoning on the matter, then there's a reason we made this smiley for you.

No dip shit. I don't give a fuck if it was Penn State. I am calling bullshit on the same team having the 2 best players in college football. Out of over 1000 or so Division 1 players, one team has the top 2? Bullshit. That is what I call bullshit on. Get your head out of your ass...

Like I've already said, I'm not so sure Ingram is the very best candidate to win the Heisman. I can see where somebody else could win it. I'm not even saying that McClain is the VERY BEST player in college football. I'm simply saying he should certainly be in the discussion. He is the best LB in the country, so why couldn't he be at least considered as one of the top players in the country?

That's the thing. You argue just to fucking argue. Scarbinsky has a vote and has voted that Alabama has the best 2 players in the nation on their team. That is bullshit. Sure, you can make the arguement that McClain and Ingram are this or that, but Scarbinsky has a vote, and he voted McClain is the best player in the nation, and Ingram is the second best player in the nation. THAT is bullshit. THAT is all I have said. You are argueing just to argue...
