🏈 Ingram's acceptance speech

[BamaUte]

As someone who spent two years with the Utah football team as a student equipment manager, I'm aware of all the thankless work and sacrifice it requires behind the scenes of a D-IA football program.

The fact that Ingram took the time to thank an intern, the trainers, and the SID's (among others) speaks very highly of Ingram's awareness, personability, and humility.

This is a special moment for him, his family, his teammates, and Tide Nation.

I couldn't agree more, BamaUte. Nicely stated.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and acknowledge....... Go Utes & Roll Tide!

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Well Said BamaUte, glad you are getting to enjoy this with us.

 

[RollinInPcola]

He even thanked his teachers. Which got a bit of a laugh and totally rocked.

Mark gave a great speech. Anyone can tell it was genuine and that he was truly humbled to win the award.

Congrats Mark, you have truly represented your University and the state of Alabama well!

 

[Tider27]

Well said, couldn't be happier for Mark.

 

[TexasTideFan10]

I missed it. Hope to see a replay of it.

 

[Tider27]

Just check ESPN, I'm sure they'll be discussing it all night on Sports Center.

[reger60]

So incredibly proud of him!

I truly never thought I would live to see a Bama Heisman winner....what a day. I just watched the one on one interview with Mark after the presentation...cant recall the analyst dude that was talking with him....but he had to bring up his dad being "locked up" and yes..thats what he said....damn ESPN.....they usually dish out their fair share of Bama hate but to take a shot like that at a kid on what is possibly one of the biggest days of his life and a huge day for the university is as low as one can go.....my dislike for ESPN has reached a new level.

As for his speech...outstanding....shed a tear myself.

 

[Chukker V]

How about students "flashing the Heisman pose" at him on campus? :lol:
