If McFadden dont win the heisman after today we can say he got robbed. Im proud of them hogs, they did what they had to do.TerryP said:McFadden won that trophy today. He very well may have just secured the first round draft pick as well. But, then again, I don't follow the NFL so I have no idea who may have the first pick. Miami?

I hope you are right, but it seems like some folks are pushing Tebow awfully hard.
I know "Timmy," as Danielson calls him, seems to get an unreal amount of praise and adoration from CBS.
If he has another one of those 5 to 7 touchdown games against FSU like he has been cranking out lately, McFadden might not win it after all.
I'm pulling for McFadden, though.

Not that I think anything of the Heisman, but if it did go to Tebow I suspect you'll see a lot of the nation shocked. I can't see it happening considering all the RB's in the voting group.
If they look at it logically, they'll see Tebow has had a great season; one.
McFadden. 1000+ rushing his freshman year. 1000+ his sophomore year and Felix Jones did as well. Junior year is a repeat of last year.
It's one thing doing well one season. Quite another doing it 3 years in a row and the last two sharing the running duties.
How many yards did he get tonight? Anyone know off the top of their head?

Each Section within the United States has 145 media votes, totaling 870 media votes across the country. Additionally every former Heisman winner, 52 presently, has a vote as well. In 1999, The Heisman Trophy agreed to develop a special program to allow the public at large to become part of the balloting process by permitting one (1) fan vote eligible in the overall tabulation. This program continues in 2005, bringing the total number of voters for the 2005 Heisman race to 923.

I'm thinking that Gary Danielson would like to have Tim Tebow's babies...
Sheesh, he can turn any statement around and make it about Tim Tebow.
Vern: Wow, that was a wonderful Ice Cream Sundae, Gary!
Gary: Let me tell you what, Vern... If you want a good Sundae, you need to talk to Tim Tebow! That young man makes the best ever!
Vern: ????

This guy has missed a little PT this year due to an injury but look at his performance the last 2 years. Only 3 losses in 2 years (including one in Tuscaloosa). The guys numbers are mind boggling. Not that I think he will get much attention due to his conference. And who cares that his offense is a "gimmick". So what, they still have to pass and catch. Its not like they play with a 12th man or some advantage.

When I said "East" I was basically lumping the media, not so much by geographic location, but by conferences. I should have clarified myself better. I don't see McFadden getting support from the media covering the Big East, ACC, or Big 10 conferences. Come to think of it, I don't see PAC 12 media giving him much love either, especially the way USC had routed Arkansas on two occasions with McFadden playing.
I can see the Big 12 media and other Midwest voters jumping on the bandwagon for either Mizzou's or Kansas' QBs after Saturday.
I just don't see McFadden drumming up enough national support to make a difference.
