Heisman Trophy Presentation and the Hours Before...

Congrats to Troy Smith of Ohio State for wrapping up the Heisman this past Saturday night. Another congrats should be given to all three finalists for staying awake for the 37 and a half hours that was the Heisman Trophy presentation. I don’t know how these guys stood it because after fifteen minutes in I was screaming, “Just freaking tell us! Who’s the damn winner?!?!”

If you happened to flip to ESPN Classic on Saturday before the presentation, they were showing games that the Heisman finalists played throughout the year. And who do they show against the McFadden Razorbacks? South Carolina, of course. Yep, those bastards at ESPN had to show Darren McFadden raping the Carolina defense. Again. Because it wasn’t bad enough the first time.

Darren McFadden runs through the South
Carolina defense. Again.

What were the other games shown? Brady Quinn against Michigan State. Remember that comeback that MSU just threw out there to Quinn and the Irish? Yep, that’s the one. Troy Smith against the Wolverines (which is probably the only game in recent memory to actually live up to the colossal hype surrounding the game). Notice a trend here? Basically, ESPN chose the game that was a signature game for the finalists. And here we are, McFadden’s launching pad to the Heisman. Fanfuckingtastic.
