This blurb makes no sense. Someone needs to revisit English comp.

Nothing killed Colt's Heisman hopes: He's coming back next year to an even stronger offense. He'll be the frontrunner for the award next season.

I don't care who won it, as long as it wasn't Tebow. I couldn't have stomached that again.

unabashed Longhorn fan here. any one of these three were great and fine picks. that said, you take Bradford and put him on the Longhorns and they win 9 or 10 games not 11. Put Colt on OU or Fl and they do no worse.

Colt looked a bit pissed. Good. Hope Bradford does come back (doubt it) and hope he is watching Colt win the award next year........from his apartment in Norman. hookem

TEBOW GOT SCREWED! SCREWED I TELL YA!

Next year you can figure that Bradford will be watching someone (I suspect that Colt will have another concussion and will have to re-boot his brain on Sesame Street, so no heisman for Colt) win the Heisman while sitting in the front row at the Awards Ceremony; arrriving in his limo and on the NFL team Owner's private jet. Colt's favorite Chriustmas Carol next year: "Bells will be ringing". My Money's on Texas Tech in the Big 12.

What he does on his own time is his own business. He should only be judged by what he does on the field.

I dont think the Heisman means all than much anymore

There was no wrong choice but leaving them off the vote like something like 150 voters did was wrong. As a Gator fan I'm glad Bradford has to deal with the distractractions now and not UF and that instead Tebow has something extra to prove. Couldn't have worked out better if winning the NC and the Hiesman is what you care about.

I wonder eyes wide shut, which is harder for you to stomach, Tebow winning the Heisman or UF winning its 3rd NC? Personally I think you choose the wrong one not to able to stomach but that's just me.

That right there is funny!!! I don't care who you are.

I've been watching Heisman Trophies being handed out for 40 yrs or so... It's hard to recall three more deserving finalist.

But in fact, if Tebow was left off roughly 150 ballets.... then those voters have sunk to new lows and have managed to corrupt the Heisman selection process.

Shame on them.

It's simple what killed his hopes. The BCS ranking that was the 5th tie-breaker in the BCS. Of the 3 finalists he was the only one who was not playing on "championship" weekend. The majority of votes were turned in after those games.

Had Bradford not played that weekend and McCoy had, Colt, not Sam wopuld have been the winner.

Those must be Big 12 voters who thought that Harrell and/or Crabtree were as equally deserving as the others. You can make a pretty strong case for either one of those guys.

I don't think anything killed his hopes, because his hopes aren't dead yet.

He'll be even better next year.

What killed McCoy's (and Tebow's) chances? Bob Stoops leaving Bradford in in the 4th quarter of 40 point routs to pad his stats.

Pathetic.

I can't wait for the NC game. Stoops always shines in these affairs.

No argument on the winner, as all 3 were outstanding. But only 904 of 926 ballots were returned. Who didn't vote, and why? Any voter not voting should have their voting privileges pulled for good.

mecca you seem to have limited, selective memory - I assume that "always shines" is referring sarcastically to the last 4 BCS games played by OU. No Sooner fan can just sweep those under the rug, and Sooner haters love to bring them up. Fine - a loss is a loss and we OU fans have to accept some defeats from time to time. But apparently your memory isn't able to go back before that. Try some ginko biloba - it might help you recall OU victories in big games prior to the last 4 losses. No team wins them all and OU has a decent chance to win their BCS game this year. If that happens, will you be able to remember THAT a year from now?

The 'padded stats' argument is so counterfactual, it barely merits any response.

If it is that important to him, he can bid on O.J. Simpson's trophy. Now the trial is over , it can go back on the market. All three had great years. Only one can win. It is done.

Then I direct you here. In case you need someone else to present something "factual":
