I dont believe them anyway. From the Gameday jinx, or Corso picking Bama, or the SI curse. I looked back over the past 20 years and I do not believe in a Heisman curse.
In the past 20 years Heisman winners have won 8 of 19 bowl games, one Heisman winner went to no bowl, and the other 11 lost.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o

Four of the winners won the National Championship (Ward, Wuerffel, Woodson, and Leinart). Other winners included Palmer, Dayne, Williams, and Salaam. Ware didnāt make it to a bowl.<o

8-11 hardly indicates a curse. It is all about how the player handles the pressure/ distraction and who they are playing.
I am confident that if Ingram was to win the Heisman he would be ready to help the team win the big prize. After all on Thursday night he could win the Doak Walker Award as the nations best running back.
Roll Tide!
