Manti Te'o for Heisman

[TheChosen1]

Brian Hardin‏@NDHardin

#NotreDame LB Manti Te'o is the 5th Irish player to win the Rotary Lombardi Award.

The problem here is that people need to have really watched Notre Dame over the past few years to understand Manti's impact.

I know this has nothing to do with Teo but this thread gets a lot of traffic

Has anyone seen the jersey army is wearing for the annual army/navy game? Amazing jerseys. WWII themed battle of the bulge jerseys

Right? Who ever thought off putting a map of a WWII battle on a jersey should be given a medal

Very very cool

This is definitely something to drop in another thread though.

No Problem....Verification is currently used to establish authenticity of identities on Twitter. The verified badge helps users discover high-quality sources of information and trust that a legitimate source is authoring the account’s Tweets.
Usually goes to highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas


Basically it means it's him on twitter no fake

Once you achieve a certain level of public recognition, Twitter will "verify" your account. It basically means they've confirmed that the owner of the account is actually the famous person it's purported to be. Verified accounts get a blue check mark by them.

Practically speaking, it reduces confusion with impostors. But for Te'o, it's a significant indicator that he's "arrived'. No one else on the team is verified, despite most of them having thousands of followers.

It also means he has hit the big time haha

 

[greyhammer90]

Oh ok. I knew what verified was, I just wasn't really thinking along the lines of the twitter-verse. That is really cool though.

guys i just wanted to take a minute to tell you about another heisman candidate that deserves to win and its not teo...yep, its the wendys high school heisman award...my ex-wifes son Daniel Johnson is one of 14 in the hunt...now 99.9% of you dont know of him...hes not gonna have the "stars" to be a top prospect...he wont be coming to notre dame...oh, he has the grades - a 4.0 and 32 ACT, but not the size...he plays for Ridgeland HS in georgia just outside of chattanooga, tn...he is a member of my church and believe me he lives his religion...he is a fantastic kid and one i keep trying to push my son toward...i just cant tell you what a wonderful person to be around he is...he wont be in new york for the ceremony because his team is playing in the semi-finals of the state tournament, but he didnt hesitate to pass up this chance of a lifetime to be with his team (remember he is not gonna be a top pick)...ive never met anyone who knows him that doesnt have the upmost respect for him, not just because he talks religion but lives it...i consider myself richer by knowing him and watching this man grow up...the only fault ive ever found with this guy is that he is a georgia fan and wants to some day go into politics (both can use a man of this integrity)...i have no idea of what his chances are to win this award - im sure there are some great athletes there, but i know there are none with greater character than him...hes my rudy and im pulling for him...keep an eye on this kid and keep him in your prayers - hes truly a great person and our country needs people like him...he and manti would be the best possible combination

Johnny Manziel is now 1/15 to win the Heisman on Bovada. Translation: Bet $150 to win $10.

4/1, which would normally be good, but comparing that to 1/15 it is not close.

Manti catching up, a lot to go though...

Manti may appear to be catching up, but I'm resigned to the fact that Manti will not win the award. The stiffarm website has tabulated votes from 156 people on their big chart out of a total of 928 voters (roughly 17%). The people who run the site claim they try to adjust for the regional biases when they calculate their projection.

Manziel over the last several updates has had roughly twice as many first place votes as Manti. On top of that, of the voters that they were able to get all of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place votes, Manti was left off of 21 of the voters ballots, while Manziel was only left off of 8 of the ballots.

Obviously things can continue to tighten, but it doesn't look good right now.

I think it's the early SEC homers and distaste for another Notre Fame heisman they're able to come across.

I echo Bogs hypothesis on this.

He will make a great run at it.

Just you wait!

Heisman trust has told anyone that if they reveal their votes they could possibly lose their vote.

Boomp there it is.

Boomp der et is!

Then they'd better strip the vote from Dan Patrick and a whole bunch of other radio guys around the country.

 

[Circa]

I have a better chance of nailing Kate Upton, and Jessica Biel in the same night than Teo does at winning the Heisman.

so.... do ya have any juicy stories to share yet?

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Thank the lord. Great Award, but the mystique around it has passed in the "internet age". You almost always know the winner before the announcement(especially this year). Anyone who is still betting real money on Manti, really sucks at sports gambling.

 

[Circa]

My logic: I traveled to Waco, TX and started the project on the new stadium Baylor is building this year, last years Heisman winner came from there, and beat KSU! I went to the Stanford game this year and Stanford beat Oregon! It's gotta be an omen that Teo has got this in the bag.... sure would be a treat and an odd way of things transpiring for me...
