The Cup's Heisman Winner

We've made it no secret as to who won the Cup's Heisman Trophy. Ndamokung Suh, whose first name literally translates into English out of [OBSCURE AFRICAN LANGUAGE] as "House of Spears," will (not at all) take home another piece of hardware today, as our votes tallied up in his favor. A breakdown of the points each one of us allotted to which players is after the jump.
To the slow (RAZORED and Gonzohog), the numbers in the first chart aren't where they were placed, but rather how many points they were allotted. First place votes earn five points, fifth place votes earn one, and if you can't figure the rest of this out--or if you really needed this explanation to begin with--I want you to immediately cease reading this website and direct your attention elsewhere, never to return.
Agree? Disagree (this question can also be phrased as "are you an Alabama fan")?

I agree with BWE's ballot the most but OMTB has it the way voters likely will
I’d be surprised to see Suh win, although he is very deserving. However, if the Heisman trophy winner is viewed as team MVP (that is to say, their team would be much worse without them) in addition to most outstanding player, I vote for Spiller. He changes games.
8 points, Cuppers?
Yeah, that second chart has Spikes getting a fourth place vote instead of the fifth place that Juco gave him. Feel free to fix that and delete this comment.
I get crunk 25 days a week!
Nah. I don't wanna fix it.
Just know that I put the wrong number in the wrong spreadsheet. Anyway, it’s not like anybody else cares about Brandon Spikes.

At least
WW was sober enough to put Gerhart over Ingram. The rest of you must have been shit-faced.
And since I’ve got no other place to ask this, I’ll ask here.. why in the hell are we playing a bowl game in a 100,000+ seat stadium and Ole Miss was only alotted 12,500 tickets? Huh?
DAMN IT TO HELL!!! I WAS going to say something nice about LSU... but my clock ran out.

Ole Miss got 13,600 tix. The stadium only seats 71,000 also. They aren’t selling standing room tickets for this game.
Yeah, I just read where it's
80,000 – expandable to 111,000 with standing areas. Still, we only got 13,600? So we sold out 12,500 then OM announced another 800 were available today. That’s 13,300. That leaves 300 unaccounted for.

Maybe...
The “missing” tickets go to the band/players’ families. Those go into our allotment but aren’t sold.
Just guessing on that but they do have to have seats allotted to them.
They didn't allot either school much seating at all
in favor of having a ton of general admission tickets up for grabs.

Really?
Well so much for that “sells well, travels well” excuse bowls use in determining who they pick to play.

They sold
stadium certificates or something similar that when they built the stadium that gives those people first right of refusal on all events at the stadium. I had heard there were somewhere around 40-45,000 of those. Those will be where most of the tickets on ebay and stubhub will come from.
robbery
unfortunately gerhardt will not win the heisman but he deserves it..he is a one man wrecking crew and carries his team on his back
I hope Jevan is watching the Heisman Trophy Presentation....
and saying to himself I will get there next year. Maybe this offseason he can get things to come together and really show the nation next year.
Anyone Else Heard State Fans Bitching?
I had three posts on my facebook page from people bitching about how Anthony Dixon should have won the Heisman – more yards than Ingram blah blah blah, harder schedule than Alabama blah blah blah. God, those people are whiny.
um… can these people not do basic first grade math? Like 1542>1391?
What you're seeing is team spirit. It's like the Holy Spirit, but more powerful.

You may want to avoid
that argument least I pull out Gerhart’s yards and show why he should have won.

phht. You already tried it. Ingram had comparable stats against better competition. And he won. Deal with it.

Yeah, he won
barely.. and surely wasn’t the best player in the nation. Deal with that.

Garhart lost
because he has FFS (flat face syndrome)
seriously that kid was punted in the face the second he came out of the womb and has to wear like SPF 1000 every time he walks out into the sun

You guys are fucking incredible.
Dexter McCluster could have very well been the best player, or at least one of the best players in the country, had he not been mismanaged by a dumbass named Nutt early in the season.
The exact same thing happened in ‘07, but I wouldn’t expect anyone here to be smart enough to recognize such a display of retardedness and a parolizing ineptness to coach that caliber of talent.
The Hiesman Trophy winner is supposed to recognize the best player in college football.
To define, that means talent, leadership, toughness, character, unselfishness, smarts, and an undying will to win.
Tim Tebow is the only player listed above who would qualify on all counts. Fuck the stats!

Gonzo, you're defining the credentials for the Heisman based on what
you think they should be. I’m not disagreeing with your credientials, but the method by which you try to justify them.
Also, Gonzo, Dexter had been lined up at wideout for THREE AND A HALF SEASONS before Nutt moved him to halfback. If anything, Nutt should be thanked for breaking Dexter out of his already-established role and putting him in a more effective one.

Dex might not have had the size and power,
but he was definately the quikest, one of the fastest, and the most explosive RB in the SEC.
Anyone disagree?
If you do, you probably aren’t paying enough attention to the playcalling, if that’s what you choose to call it.
