Time to Review Heisman Voting Credentials

by Cornshoe Hammaker on Dec 14, 2008 6:52 PM CST

All right so Shonn Greene didn't even get a trip to New York City to watch them hand the Heisman to Sam Bradford. Greene ended up sixth in total points in the balloting. I can live with that. I don't have a complaint about who the top three finalists were. Star quarterbacks from three of the top three teams in the nation. I don't have a complaint about Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree finishing ahead of Greene either. Both put up big-time numbers in the toughest conference in the nation this year and they are on a Top Ten team. I can live with Greene finishing behind those guys.

It's when I see the stats for the rest of the voting. Michigan State's Javon Ringer finished 10th in overall points. That also, is not a problem.

The problem is that some Ass Clown actually gave Ringer a FIRST PLACE VOTE!

What the fuck is this guy thinking?!? Good Christ, did they watch any football this year outside of East Lansing? They actually thought that Ringer was better than Greene. Shonn Greene, who LED THE BIG TEN IN RUSHING. Greene who outgained Ringer head-to-head. They also thought that Ringer was better than Bradford, McCoy and Tebow.

I want to know who this voter is and who is going to replace them for next year's voting. Because they obviously have no business doing it again.

Anyone who knows jack shit about football

Knows that Ringer’s stats in the Big Ten weren’t impressive at all and that he ran up stats with tons of carries against creampuffs in the out of conference slate.

Obviously, some Heisman voters are not in the jack shit category.

Who even watched the Heisman show? To me it has really lost it’s luster once ESPN got their grubby little hands on the rights. It’s really not worth watching at this point.
