Wow. I did not know that Manti was the first one to run over the fence when Declan fell, and that he whispered a prayer in his ear. That is crazy.

I got chills just reading that. That, in my opinion, is one of the greatest things I've heard he's done. Unbelievable. I can't even wrap my head around that. Oh my God.

I have to admit until this season, I thought Manti was overrated. That said, he was been outstanding for most of this season. Nix and Co. deserve much of the attention, but Manti is getting most of it. ESPN is whoring out Manti (though ND is irrelevant) , but the guy is a genuine great guy as well as ND hero.

Honestly before this season started Manti was not my favorite player. As this season has progressed he might now be my favorite Irish player of all time.

I want to meet him. Not talk to him or shake his hand, but just jump in the air and do the side bump that he and the other players do. That would be good enough for me.

I wrote a tongue in cheek post earlier on this thread to "stupid people". It was based upon the sentiment that people who only watched one game, or highlight reels picked the Heisman winners. I signed it off:
The elect our Keiki kāne committee.

I somewhat regret that I used that term in such an irreverent post. "Keiki kāne" means special son. I think we should get this out this weekend, so those on the comittee still undecided can hear the whole story. And I think we should afix this to Manti's name in the Recruiting Archives.

Johnny Football can have the Heisman, Manti deserves to have an award named after him.

Klein just threw a red zone INT. If he doesn't show well tonight, the vote will likely come down to Manti and Manziel. Either the first pure defensive player or the first freshman. Only one of them plays on an undefeated team who is #1 in the country. I'm liking Manti's chances more and more as we get closer.

If it doesn't go to Johnny I'll be shocked. Generally you can read who's going to win the Heisman through the media. If the media tells the voters that Johnny is the favorite, he becomes the favorite. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like ESPN got their way on this one.

I don't think so.

I'm seeing a split.

Kelly made a good point today. We say defenses win championships, then why can't a defensive player win it?

Well said!

Harrington just told Eddie George that Manti should absolutely win the Heisman. Also Eddie said #1 is certainly playing #2. Harrington also said Manti is biggest player in the biggest game .
