Title: And then there were 3
Post by: JR4AU on December 03, 2012, 07:43:44 PM: Johnny Manziel, Manti Te'o and Collin Klein are Heisman finalists.

So we have the best CFB player, a feel good story, and a life time career award finalist. Who gets it?

Totally agree, but also think there may be too many old gray haired dudes out there voting that won't, just because.

Stiffarmtrophy hasn't been wrong yet, and they have Manziel as the overwhelming favorite.

Who do you think they'd vote for and why do you think they wouldn't vote for the only guy to beat the Mighty taghd?

Notre Dame. Undefeated. Star player. Senior.

Everything Manziel isn't when it comes to impressing the old guys. I'm surprised it's turning out this way.

You don't vote for the best player, you vote for somebody on the #1 team.

At least, that's what Mark Ingram told me

Don't forget the double death of a loved one he endured this year enroute to becomming a beast on the field and a leader onthe team. Folks love a feel good story...

Exactly. Folks love emotional propaganda. See the 2012 election.
